I feel like I'm finally gonna have some semi interesting shit to tell my grandkids about.
Not like what Asis Ansari predicted that contrary to his parents who immigrated, his biggest challenge was when his iPad died on a trip from NYC to LA, big woop
Basically it will be Gen Z and Gen Alpha's 9/11. For us in the 30 years and above, 9/11 is the time the old world has changed forever. Covid 19 is the next level of that.
I had to think about it for a while, felt like it came out just 3-4 years ago for me lol. I have this weird thing in my head where I consider most games that came out after Steam became ubiquitous to not go into that âold video gameâ category.
I wonder if wild animals, non predators at least, will initially just ignore them or recognize they are very young and not see them as a threat? I mean, felines gonna fuck them up, but with a bear he MIGHT be like 'go on lil fella I got a dumpster to fuck up today'.
In one case the little girl said she was taken by a bear and they slept in a cave together. I have no idea what really happened there. I feel like a predator is going to take an easy meal when they can get one. I would think that non predators like deer and things like that would act exactly as you said.
Kids are taught all animals are cute and cuddly. What do you expect. Australia banned an episode of spiders being friendly to keep kids from australiaing themselves. For this reason.
Watching it right now with my little one on ABC iview. Never knew it was removed at one point.
Ok turns out it wasnât banned, one of our broadcasters decided to no longer air it.
Venomous. And nearly all spiders are venomous, regardless of where you are. Itâs just that there are a few species in Australia that are dangerously so. Definitely not most spiders though.
I blame Yogi Bear and Booboo for what almost happened to this kid. But seriously, I was a dumb kid myself thinking that all animals were friendly because I saw it on TV, only sharks, cats, and coyotes are portrayed as dangerous. Luckily my mom was pretty vigilant getting my hand out of a cage before a parrot tried to unplug one of the fingers when I was a child. And that was one of many silly things I did, but barely survived.
I forgot teddy bears and all other stuffed animals. Based on stuffed animals I would have walked to a lion or a tiger thinking they were soft and fluffy, and they may as well be, but they are also carnivorous predators, though I can't think of a herbivorous predator. đ Luckily National Geographic documentaries saved my life.
Add bear in the big blue house, Baloo and every cartoon that has a bear in its cast thats chill with the other forest critters for some reason. Seriously, the bad guys in those cartoons are always like wolves and big cats. As if they forget that bears are carnivores too.
You'd be surprised how many adults are idiots too. A ranger in Yellowstone said that he had to stop a woman putting honey on her toddler's cheeks so she could snap a photo of "the pooh bear kissing him".
I think thatâs why so many people value the life of Animals over human or plant life. Itâs their upbringing making them think those are cute and that they need to have empathy with them
One of my favorite videos. I used to go around work asking my buddy if I could pet his titties. Sometimes I'd also ask if I could pet his kitties (which meant I wanted to touch his titties).
If the bear had made an aggressive move towards the child I have no doubt in my mind that the mother would have went full out attack on the bear if that was the only way to get the bear off the kid. Parents don't fuck about.
Iâm the mom in the video; I wasnât smoking. I was actually on the phone with my husband, who was out of state at the time. My phone was in my hand on speaker when this happened lmao.
I can see how it could be a phone. I wonât die defending it is a cigarette! If that was you Iâm glad your daughter is ok. Honestly reminds me a bit of Boo from monster inc.
Iâm glad she was ok too. Definitely scared the shit out of me lmao. Itâs funny you say that just because Monsters University was her favorite movie during the time frame this happened. She wanted to watch it so much I think I still know every line by heart lmao. She also LOVED the movie homeward bound, which was ironically what she was watching inside before she walked out, when she first yelled about the bear, I thought she was just pretending she was in the movie she was watching. She had literally just finished watching the bear scene đ«
Several years ago, before Toys'R'Us closed, my then toddler got a chance to meet Geoffrey the giraffe up close. He didn't cry, but the sheer terror on his face...
Yeah, if he had seen a bear, almost guaranteed he was running the other way.
You can see the three stages of the mum's speed
- stage 1 - walking - where are you going?
- stage 2 - jogging - come back here you cheeky...
- stage 3 - sprinting - OH SHIT. BEAR.
It's... not impossible. In regions with regular bear hunting, mama bears keep their cubs with them longer than mama bears in regions that don't have bear hunting, because laws about not hunting mother animals with babies basically artificially select for the animals that stick together longer. There are at least two generations now of bears in Yosemite that understand gravity enough to tip over "bear proof" food boxes, push them off a cliff so they break open on the rocks below, and enjoy the delicious delicious people food. They adapt their behavior in the presence of humans and, to quote a long-suffering park ranger: there is significant overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.
See also: mountain lions in southern California "priding up" and raising cubs together as a response to human pressures, and deer having slower-growing antlers as a response to hunting laws that limit the hunting of deer with smaller antlers.
Mate, that's a bloody toddler. She doesn't even know what that is yet. She's in a phase where she's curious about everything she sees. To approach and discover is in her instinct at that age. Your survival instinct only kicks in when you know something can potentially harm you, which isn't the case here. That's why even some adults still do dumb things, and that's why it is important for parents to constantly look after their children in case things like this happen.
3 seconds when things are going smoothly. I once had my toddler randomly monk-speed reach out and touch the grill because, well, I guess she didn't believe the 100 times I told her how hot it was. The line of questions from the nurse on the phone when I called to double check if they wanted me to bring her in made me feel like I was seconds away from a visit by CPS. "So, how did this happen" "Well, she's a toddler who doesn't believe her parents..."
*Or like, they're still toddlers*.....
Those things are always trying to off themselves.
I think 90% of raising them to the next stage is just constantly keeping them from doing so. đ«€
if you listen to the sound and look at the light, she DID close the door, that's the doorframe.. not sure if the other structure is a window or not....
just putting that out there
she did? the opening you see them go through appears to just be an opening on the patio. if you have the sound on you can hear her closing the door as she's talking to whoever is inside the house
Thank you! This video has been out for like 2 years and Iâm so tired of seeing people assume I didnât close the door! lol. I was home alone btw, I had my husband on speaker phone (which is what I was holding in my hand) he was traveling out of state for work at the time
I did this with a swarm of sting rays. Saw them gliding through the shallows and went running towards them for a better look. I was...quite a bit older than this kid
Well this kid's only exposure to "bears" was probably the Teddy, Gummy, or the Smokey varieties, if not the zoo. They were taught about how cuddly bears are, not how dangerous.
So yeah, I blame the education and exposure more than anything
Bear: So, I was hiking and I came across a human cub. Started to panic. Sure enough the mom wasn't far behind running full speed right at me. I'm lucky I made it, because I forgot my human spray at home. Crazy.
When humans decided to start walking, their pelvises narrowed, making childbirth more difficult. We evolved to have shorter gestational periods and give birth sooner than other comparable species. This means our babies are less capable of survival without us compared to other creatures born into the wild and fighting for survival.
I appreciate her narration, it's very similar to what my reaction usually is.
The last time I unexpectedly met a snake hiking, even though there was no one else around for miles, my first reaction was to jump and then say, "oh shit, there's a fucking snake."
Maybe it's some evolved tendency that's baked into us to try to warn others.
Sometimes when I'm playing with my baby, I'll growl and pretend to eat her. She smiles and giggles. Every time I think, 'how is this your survival instinct?"
You ever asked yourself why so many old European (famously German) children stories are creepy af?
Because of that.
Make them fear the woods and the dark, before they ever experienced it.
Kids literally want to die. The other day, my nephew had all his food, toys, parent, everything in his universe in a corner of their flatâŠ.but made a beeline for the fucken balcony. Seriously, theyâre suicidal.
That's a story that kid will be bored listening to in every family table. "You remember that time you tried to commit suicide by running towards a bear? Haha.. fun times"
Reminds me of an old video game where you play a baby and the goal is to kill yourself before the adult saves you.
Who's Your Daddy

... is 2015 really that old?
at this point anything before the pandemic is old
"it's from the old world, from the before times"
before covid and after covid is now like before jesus christ and after jesus christ.
Notable changes in the world are before Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and The Pandemic, in addition to BC and AD.
Missing information revolution: global communications (internet) and personal computing (pc, cell phones, chips in everything).
I say put markers at 1992 when AOL for Windows happened and 2007 when the iPhone changed what everyone considered a phone to be.
I don't think Pearl Harbor and 9/11 has a strong meaning for non Americans
Don't let's forget Harambe

Now I'm starting to feel pre-historic.
I feel like I'm finally gonna have some semi interesting shit to tell my grandkids about. Not like what Asis Ansari predicted that contrary to his parents who immigrated, his biggest challenge was when his iPad died on a trip from NYC to LA, big woop
âI was a child before the boom-booms. I think⊠I looked like this.â
Basically it will be Gen Z and Gen Alpha's 9/11. For us in the 30 years and above, 9/11 is the time the old world has changed forever. Covid 19 is the next level of that.
People used to say the same thing about 9/11 and the 2008 economic collapse. Too many once-in-a-lifetime events in my life.
This sounds SO true. Damn.
Pandemic lasted for 20 years
I've started calling 2019 BCE. As in before COVID era.
Try holding your breath for 9 years, gets old real fast
Original commenter is probably a child lol
9 years is long man youâre old
Obama was president!
I had to think about it for a while, felt like it came out just 3-4 years ago for me lol. I have this weird thing in my head where I consider most games that came out after Steam became ubiquitous to not go into that âold video gameâ category.
Dude that's almost 10 years ago. When you were growing up that's the difference between SMB on NES and Mario 64.
Almost a decade ago is pretty old
9 years is a while tbf
Who's your daddy recently got ported on console
âCan I pet that dawg CAN I PAT THAT DAWGâ
OLD?!?!
I just bought it on Xbox on sale for a couple bucks. Is it fun? I haven't even opened it yet lol
I feel like this video explains nearly all the toddlers disappearances in the Missing 411 books
I wonder if wild animals, non predators at least, will initially just ignore them or recognize they are very young and not see them as a threat? I mean, felines gonna fuck them up, but with a bear he MIGHT be like 'go on lil fella I got a dumpster to fuck up today'.
Nope. As much as I would like it to be otherwise, young animals are prime prey no matter where you are.
In one case the little girl said she was taken by a bear and they slept in a cave together. I have no idea what really happened there. I feel like a predator is going to take an easy meal when they can get one. I would think that non predators like deer and things like that would act exactly as you said.
Oh that was a nice google deep dive. Yeah, a lot of those people probably fell into caves or got eaten by animals.
Kids are taught all animals are cute and cuddly. What do you expect. Australia banned an episode of spiders being friendly to keep kids from australiaing themselves. For this reason.
We literally market bears as cuddly stuffed animals. Kid saw the real thing in person and thought oh hell yes. Edit, sp
Plus, everything new is a potential toy, and not a potential danger.
A Pepa the pig episode
Literally my favourite episode.
Watching it right now with my little one on ABC iview. Never knew it was removed at one point. Ok turns out it wasnât banned, one of our broadcasters decided to no longer air it.
Itâs only banned in Australia where most species of spiders are poisonous. Every where else is good.
Venomous. And nearly all spiders are venomous, regardless of where you are. Itâs just that there are a few species in Australia that are dangerously so. Definitely not most spiders though.
Thatâs where Iâm watching it.
Definitely the best scene.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuA1Wf8nkxw&
I blame Yogi Bear and Booboo for what almost happened to this kid. But seriously, I was a dumb kid myself thinking that all animals were friendly because I saw it on TV, only sharks, cats, and coyotes are portrayed as dangerous. Luckily my mom was pretty vigilant getting my hand out of a cage before a parrot tried to unplug one of the fingers when I was a child. And that was one of many silly things I did, but barely survived.
I think the Teddy Bear goes back further than Yogi.
I forgot teddy bears and all other stuffed animals. Based on stuffed animals I would have walked to a lion or a tiger thinking they were soft and fluffy, and they may as well be, but they are also carnivorous predators, though I can't think of a herbivorous predator. đ Luckily National Geographic documentaries saved my life.
> herbivorous predator Hippos come to mind.
Add bear in the big blue house, Baloo and every cartoon that has a bear in its cast thats chill with the other forest critters for some reason. Seriously, the bad guys in those cartoons are always like wolves and big cats. As if they forget that bears are carnivores too.
Well they're omnivores. Black bears especially love to just eat a bunch of berries and such.
What about Paddington?
Don't forget about the entirety of Brother Bear
It's 2024 yogi bear was old news when I was born. I'm 32.
You'd be surprised how many adults are idiots too. A ranger in Yellowstone said that he had to stop a woman putting honey on her toddler's cheeks so she could snap a photo of "the pooh bear kissing him".
Jesus fucking Christ, these people should be kept on a leash.
It wasn't banned, ABC voluntarily stopped airing it because they deemed it inaccurate for an Australian audience.
I think thatâs why so many people value the life of Animals over human or plant life. Itâs their upbringing making them think those are cute and that they need to have empathy with them
Can I pet that dog?!?!
Can I pet that Dawg!
Can I pet that dawwwwwwggggg!!!

[Can I pet your tiddies?](https://youtu.be/p5YlbDwYp-Y?si=mTCH8iPqfJGYRM3q)

This is the comment I came here for

okay that was fucking adorable lol

Can I pet that dog!?
Hahahaha! Omg. Fucking toddlers.
Please don't.
You said it like you have a silver youtube play button
Teddy Bears sending mixed signals lol
Baby bears are so fucking cute, man. There'd be a small part of me that was like 'must. pet. furry. bear.'
To be fair. Bears do look incredibly cuddle. A shame they aren't.
Toddlers and babies simply have reverse-coded survival skills.
If not friend, then why friend-shaped?
I was going to comment this, but I knew in my heart someone already did đ
You misspelled fren
The bear was probably thinking that it was gonna get mauled by the mother of that offspring
If the bear had made an aggressive move towards the child I have no doubt in my mind that the mother would have went full out attack on the bear if that was the only way to get the bear off the kid. Parents don't fuck about.
Momâs literally smoking around her kid/indoors. She is fucking around with her kids health.
Iâm the mom in the video; I wasnât smoking. I was actually on the phone with my husband, who was out of state at the time. My phone was in my hand on speaker when this happened lmao.
I can see how it could be a phone. I wonât die defending it is a cigarette! If that was you Iâm glad your daughter is ok. Honestly reminds me a bit of Boo from monster inc.

I smoked cigarettes before I found out I was expecting though. Quit as soon as I found out and never looked back. I had Juniper when I was 19.
Also true
Several years ago, before Toys'R'Us closed, my then toddler got a chance to meet Geoffrey the giraffe up close. He didn't cry, but the sheer terror on his face... Yeah, if he had seen a bear, almost guaranteed he was running the other way.
Your blood line will most likely live on
You can see the three stages of the mum's speed - stage 1 - walking - where are you going? - stage 2 - jogging - come back here you cheeky... - stage 3 - sprinting - OH SHIT. BEAR.
Kid? Shit?!?! I know grown ass adults that think they could pet that thing
A whole cadre of mentally exhaust Park Rangers have entered the chat
can I pet that daaaaawg
I mean .... we give them teddy bears ...
That we do. Can't even blame the kid! *"Hey, man! Hey you look just like my best friend!!"*
That kid learned some new words! Also, I like how mom could accelerate. :D
I blame cartoons. Those bears are always cuddly
I wonder if the bear saw the baby and thought âoh shit! A human cub! I better gtfo before momma shows up!â
It's... not impossible. In regions with regular bear hunting, mama bears keep their cubs with them longer than mama bears in regions that don't have bear hunting, because laws about not hunting mother animals with babies basically artificially select for the animals that stick together longer.

"Shit shit shit there's a bear outside"! Proceeds to leave back door open for the bear to get inside.
Then it won't be outside. Problem solved.
Maybe that giant teddy bear wasnât the best idea.
Mate, that's a bloody toddler. She doesn't even know what that is yet. She's in a phase where she's curious about everything she sees. To approach and discover is in her instinct at that age.

can i pet that dawg?
Can I pet THAT DAWWWG?!
Imagine being branded a negligent parent if you came out a few seconds late
All parents are just 3 seconds away from being negligent. Itâs fuckin rough out there.
3 seconds when things are going smoothly. I once had my toddler randomly monk-speed reach out and touch the grill because, well, I guess she didn't believe the 100 times I told her how hot it was. The line of questions from the nurse on the phone when I called to double check if they wanted me to bring her in made me feel like I was seconds away from a visit by CPS. "So, how did this happen" "Well, she's a toddler who doesn't believe her parents..."
Kid be like - You gave me a teddy bear to play with, why not play with a real one?
That happens when the only contact kids have with animals is Disney movies lol
*Or like, they're still toddlers*..... Those things are always trying to off themselves. I think 90% of raising them to the next stage is just constantly keeping them from doing so. đ«€
Good thing it wasn't a man
No survival instincts? That little girl knows what she saw, Paddington is that you?
CAN I PET THAT DAAAAWWWWG
CaN i PeT tHe DaWg?!
âCan I pet dat dogâ
Can I pet that DAWG
if you listen to the sound and look at the light, she DID close the door, that's the doorframe.. not sure if the other structure is a window or not.... just putting that out there
I think I might have closed the door after rescuing the child.
she did? the opening you see them go through appears to just be an opening on the patio. if you have the sound on you can hear her closing the door as she's talking to whoever is inside the house
Thank you! This video has been out for like 2 years and Iâm so tired of seeing people assume I didnât close the door! lol. I was home alone btw, I had my husband on speaker phone (which is what I was holding in my hand) he was traveling out of state for work at the time
I did this with a swarm of sting rays. Saw them gliding through the shallows and went running towards them for a better look. I was...quite a bit older than this kid
Date nights would have been so much easier if ya waiting like 15 minutes
Is anyone else getting Monster Inc. vibes from this?
Well apparently in a real world setting women do in fact, NOT want to leave their daughter in the woods with a bear....
how tf did we survive as a species back in the wilds when our kids are this stupid?
Who leaves their door open in bear country?
Thanks Disney!
To be fair, we do make little stuffed versions of them and give them to kids, soâŠ
This has nothing to do with survival instincts. I donât imagine the girl understands what a bear could do to a human being.
I think this is just kids being kids.
Definitely not Yogi
shit Shit SHit SHIt SHIT SHIT! THERE'S A FUCKING BEAR OUTSIDE!!!
Itâs not that she doesnât have survival instincts. Its bears need love too.
Well this kid's only exposure to "bears" was probably the Teddy, Gummy, or the Smokey varieties, if not the zoo. They were taught about how cuddly bears are, not how dangerous. So yeah, I blame the education and exposure more than anything
Bro bears gotta eat too.
Shit shit shit shit shit
This reminds me of that Vine: âwhat do you have?â âA knife!â âNooo!â
The mum has some top teer acceleration.
I like to imagine the bear fleeing "it shows no fear and it's charging"
Thatâs a cool name.
I blame Disney's wish
You never leave a kid alone and find them doing math when you get back.
Bear: So, I was hiking and I came across a human cub. Started to panic. Sure enough the mom wasn't far behind running full speed right at me. I'm lucky I made it, because I forgot my human spray at home. Crazy.
Mom didn't raise no coward
If not friend, then why friend shaped?
Kid...IT'S SO FLUFFY!
Teddy bear!!!
Babi happy cuz bear
Holâ up. I thought we were choosing the bear?
When humans decided to start walking, their pelvises narrowed, making childbirth more difficult. We evolved to have shorter gestational periods and give birth sooner than other comparable species. This means our babies are less capable of survival without us compared to other creatures born into the wild and fighting for survival.
This is what happens when storybooks depict bears as smiling and happy lil guys jus tryna make friends
I've seen suicidal people with more survival instinct
PSA: Stop vertical video syndrome.
Mom's reaction completely understandable
Reminds me of âWhat do you have?â âA knife!â âNOOOOOOOâ
I appreciate her narration, it's very similar to what my reaction usually is. The last time I unexpectedly met a snake hiking, even though there was no one else around for miles, my first reaction was to jump and then say, "oh shit, there's a fucking snake." Maybe it's some evolved tendency that's baked into us to try to warn others.
#âShit, shit, shit, shit. Thereâs a fucking bear outsideâ
Sometimes when I'm playing with my baby, I'll growl and pretend to eat her. She smiles and giggles. Every time I think, 'how is this your survival instinct?"
Good on the mom for being on it, I swear some adults are like that toddler in some of these national parks
The beer is like no Please leave me alone u kid
You ever asked yourself why so many old European (famously German) children stories are creepy af? Because of that. Make them fear the woods and the dark, before they ever experienced it.
If not friend, why friend shaped?
Nah, it's a black bear, this is the correct instinct: make yourself seem as large as possible and make a loud noise.
Kid really said: If lethal, why teddy-bear shaped?
was that the voice actress for Vaggy from hazbin hotel?
She runs like a Titan from tha anime đ.
Kids literally want to die. The other day, my nephew had all his food, toys, parent, everything in his universe in a corner of their flatâŠ.but made a beeline for the fucken balcony. Seriously, theyâre suicidal.
Momâs response to a bear outside was about the only correct response
Mom has no survival instincts either leaving that door wide open and not closing either.
Thank god it was a fully grown black bear and not a human man. That would have been truly dangerous.
That's a story that kid will be bored listening to in every family table. "You remember that time you tried to commit suicide by running towards a bear? Haha.. fun times"
Actually, I canât blame her. I wouldâve done the same thing.
Even the kid chose the bear
