gens, in Cave Bear

If i came across a bear, i’d sure remember it.

LemmyKnowsBest,

do you know what I think of every time someone uses the phrase “I came across…?”

shooting one’s jizz across something.

There. i said it.

M137,

I came across your mom the other day.

LemmyKnowsBest,

If you could see the reality of what you just said, she was a hemiplegic in a wheelchair, she had bed sores, she is now cremated and sprinkled over her parents in a graveyard.

In fact, the word “brown” is the morph of the original word for bear. Whatever humans used for brown was overshadowed long ago by the very experience of bear itself, and the color alone became a prevalent warning against that thing that is the single most terrifying brown in existence.

Orange too. What did those horrible citrus fruits do to our ancestors???

mindbleach,

Well, maybe. There’s also a competing hypothesis that says it’s the other way around, i.e. “bear” is derived from “brown”; the old word for “bear” became taboo, possibly for fear that speaking the beast’s name would summon it. Either way, the fear of bears has certainly left a mark on the Germanic languages.

They are doomed (skipped too much evolution classes)

Is banana for scale a thing in lemmy? Maybe it’s bear sized and some cave owner painted his wall with an outline using his natural bear spirograph.

Do they study OJ Simpson?

Wasn’t there a study about the same thing but with bees?

Slovene, in On bats.

Batologist?

Agent641,

Some sort of bat-man

AnonWyo,

And not some sort of man-bat?

LemmyKnowsBest,

Yeah. And he’s Hammerhead Bat too.

Makes me feel better that bats are as uncoordinated as me.

Ddhuud,

Now hold on a minute…

It’s like they studied at the Kitchen Appliance Naming Institute.

winterayars, in Cave Bear

What we see probably isn’t even the full image, either. They probably put more details and colors on it and stuff, that’s just the outline. How else do you teach your buddies about what bears look like?

Plot twist: its a self-portrait

SirDankbud, in Orinthologists

The fun part of the bird name is sometimes hidden in latin. My favourite example is scientific name for the American Robin, Turdus Migratorius.

Zoop,

Oh boy! I know someone named Robin who is going to love to hear that! I’m silly-excited to tell them now. Thank you! I love it!

ItsMeForRealNow, in Cave Bear

They definitely practiced. Someone taught them. Damn.

hoshiyari, in Orinthologists

I live on the east coast. Saw a black bird with red wings. Guess what it’s called.

AngryCommieKender,

A Detroit hockey team?

ArcaneSlime, (edited )

Red wings black bird? I think I had a few of that card as a kid.

CareHare, in Cave Bear

It’s a really nice cave drawing for sure. It even has a bit of a Disney vibe to it. I think it’s because of the little ears.

CaptPretentious, (edited )

Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

Forget about your worries and your strife

I mean the bare necessities

That’s why a bear can rest at ease

With just the bare necessities of life

CyberTailor, in And that, my friends, is the Pleistocene.

You run fast but they don’t get tired.
