      Saw a tiktok today where these girls pick up a random baby bear cub that that hiding in some trees and start taking pictures with it. Video was from some dude who saw this bullshit and decided to get it on video. The whole time I was watching I wanted to smack the dude recording and yell at him “Run! If you don’t get your ass out of here, you’re gonna get mauled by a momma bear right along with those girls!”

      Unfortunately, it seems like those girls did not have a learning experience. The cub managed to squirm out of their arms and bolt to safety into the scrub. So, the girls didn’t get their Darwin Award that day, even though they deserved to meet God for what they did.

        There was a video of a young woman visiting Australia who found a pretty octopus which she picked up and took photos with

        All the Australians watching were going “well, 20’s not a terrible innings”

        She also got away with it

          The octopus produces venom containing tetrodotoxin, histamine, tryptamine, octopamine, taurine, acetylcholine, and dopamine.

          Maybe she’s immune thanks to a steady diet of Red Bull and Benedryl.

        The neck is coming down through the trees.

        The forest is not an obstacle, for this creature.

      When?

      Now.

      Well, then really.

      But still now. It’s still happening.
