I knew they were big bears but not TWICE A HUMAN size! I didn’t even google this image for the polar bear I wanted to see how big a black bear is.

guess I’m never going to Antarctica!

edit: okay we got ANOTHER TIL. Apparently polar bears don’t live in Antarctica!

…I need to watch more nature documentaries…

        You are noticing a very weird phenomenon that’s been ongoing for about a month now. I’m the target of 3-4 bots that downvote most things I comment. It’s a very weird thing someone is doing and the instance admins who could stop it have ignored me so far.

            I have. I suspect though that it was because of this one day a weird mod was banning people en masse for downvoting their accusatory post where they listed a bunch of users they claimed are Zionists. With no evidence at all. Everyone who downvoted it got banned from their community immediately. Then I noticed the weird bot behavior a day or two later. I saw another user complaining about the same bots doing this to them also. If it’s that mod, it’s a very strange and spiteful thing to do but it wouldn’t surprise me. People are strange.
