So we all agree this is the ONE AND ONLY time it's okay to take a selfie with a bear?

You dope! You had ONE opportunity to say BEARS itself and you missed it like a shit in the woods!

They came out there to do that, it wasn't an opportunity, it's influencers acting like fools

What if seeing itself provokes it and you cancel out any benefit of calmly looking away?

I think distracting yourself with something like taking a selfie is a good way to stay calm in that situation. Gives you something to think about beyond getting mauled.

Hey now, don't be that way. They're more than happy to take pictures with folks, especially during Pridde Month!

I mean if you have a large black beard hugging you, and death standing next to you (unexpectadly and unpredicatable), why not? YOLO!

With a black bear, yes. With a panda, you could sit on it's head and take a selfie and it wouldn't care!!

Are we including Bear Grylls and hairy blokes?

If it's dead, it probably won't attack, so it's ok to do one then as well.

I mean...if I somehow got roped into a hunting trip because my FOMO is too strong and I'm sitting in a tree blind and a bear walks up, you can bet your rear end I'm going to take a selfie.

I took one recently in a zoo, now I understand how not okay it was.
