i laughed and then i was really, really sad

Yes! I read about it in Ryan North's, How to Invent Everything (which is great, btw). The crazy thing is that humanity figured out how to prevent scurvy multiple times, but kept forgetting about it or changing to methods that didn't actually work, because we didn't really understand the underlying mechanisms.

William Cole

Didn’t see it, ValdVin! Congrats on acquiring trichinosis first!

Mad Marie

Do you know how horrible scurvy is?

doorbender

Though, generally, I would think a disorder is something you have the possibility of recovering from or living with. Death by polar bear seems a trifle out of scope πŸ˜†

Well the standard DSM criterion for disorder is along the lines of "Does it interfere with your ability to function daily?" Even though I haven't experienced the case of being eaten by polar bears, for myself I would have to guess probably yes.

Clifton Royston

Someone already made the trichinosis joke (me) but I appreciate any effort to raise awareness of this disease which is the scourge of Arctic exploration (well, except for scurvy).

ValdVin

Seems like the easiest way to avoid trickynoses is to stay away from the top end of the bear?

^bad news bears?

Mad Marie

Oh, I've seen the dentition rather close up on a number of occasions. Among other things, my family used to own the head-mounted skin of a good-sized bear. It took some months before my little brother would go anywhere near it, but he would have been around four, so kind of understandable.

Courtney Welch

In that case, absolutely do not go to YouTube and look up "polar bear plexiglass box". No fang-on-skull action, I promise! The plexiglass box is tough. But you do get a very good look at Mx. Bear's dentition from inside the box.

Someone already made the Beriberi joke. But if we're talking polar bears and arctic explorer diseases - the thing to worry about is either trichinosis or Vitamin A toxicity - both most likely coming from eating polar bear. So sounds like we should stay away from them regardless of who has the gun...

Drew Blas

I know two people who were mauled by polar bears. The thing that stays with me is one of them saying the worst part was the sound of the bear's teeth on his skull. That's an uncomfortably concrete description for an auditory thinker like me...

They wouldn’t fight. Bubbles would find fresh seals for the polar bear and the bear would accept boops on the snoot. Meanwhile another polar bear is accepting belly rubs from Emmitt while their mom is worried how bad of an influence the bears are to them.

Bubbles can lift a tank. I think a polar bear would not be a threat to her.

HAHA-awwwww :'(

polar bears do occasionally fight/hunt walruses and other creatures their own size (or even bigger/heavier than them), so who knows! maybe Bubbles smells like prey πŸ‘€

In my experience, uncircumcised ones ;)

Adam Abbott

Bubbles would pet the polar bear

Bagge

I don't think the bears are dumb enough to pick a fight with someone their own size, and Bubbles certainly wouldn't.

Sleepy John

So who'd win in a fight (no weapons) - Bubbles or the polar bear?

Leak

Take a gun. Just remember to file off the front sight

Todd Ellner

Ha! Joke's on Bubbles, there won't BE any polar bears in 10 years.

Simon Green

Well they do have the right to bear arms.

Tudza

I don't know that I'd classify getting eaten by polar bears as a "disorder"

So I Google β€œbear gun” and the first β€œpeople also ask” question is β€œWhat kind of gun do bears use?” 😢

Despite over a century's worth of medical advancements, there's still no known cure for Eaten By Bears Disease.

wargrunt42

Yeah, I can't imagine hiking in bear country, including the arctic, without a proper BEAR gun. Only because I like being alive and I don't think I can run faster than anyone else I might be with.

Thomas Halpin

Saw a Quora answer to a question of what you should do if you were in the Arctic and saw a polar bear on the ice and you had a gun but no quick way to escape (like, by air). The answer was basically, if you want to avoid being dismembered alive, since polar bears don't bother to kill you before they start eating you, is to use the gun. But not on the bear, that'd just piss it off.
