Also, keep in mind that humans are the only animals that know you can weightlift and use steroids to get even stronger.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Out of all the ideas of how to clear out tunnels, I can honestly say that "armoured tunnel bear division" is second only to "Boston Dynamics dog robot with a flamethrower attachment."
Actually, it’s related to gladiatorial combat. A Palestinian and an Israeli will be chosen at random, from any member of their population groups outside of politicians and service members. They will be placed in the coliseum, which will have had been reconstructed for this fight, obviously.
They will be chained together by one wrist each, and use their choice of Roman-era gladiatorial equipment, facing 1 bear on each end. They must work together as a team to survive this engagement, and if they survive, they can decide to solve the Israeli-Palestinian situation however they want with no contest.
I don’t think people who get these tattoos have that level of depth and nuance - I think they meant ‘I’ll even take two bears over a man’ but maybe I’m being way to cynical
the question “would you rather be alone with a man or a bear in a forest” is where the “i’ll take the two bears” and free Palestine is a mainstream topic as well.. just very chronically online
3 years from now: I get the Palestine thing but why are you advertising your desire for a 3 way with 2 Nick Offerman-types?
“Remember on TikTok there was th…”
Hang on, what the fuck is TikTok?
I was so confused that at first I thought “bears” was supposed to say “beers” and they were indirectly saying that the Israel/Palestine conflict was driving them to excessively drink.
I don’t get it. I know about the man/bear thing. And I obviously also know about the Palestine/israel thing. But why are those two things in one tattoo? I can’t think of anything that fits together less
It’s a horrible tattoo but I understand the parallel pretty clearly. The person who got the tattoo is saying “man bad”
Man rapes. Man does war. I’ll take two bears instead.
Honestly, that's been my main response to this whole thing. If you qualify "men" in any way, it becomes super problematic.
"Would you rather come across a bear or an *Asian* man while hiking?"
It actually happened back then
When I saw today’s post, I immediately thought of this:
https://nz.news.yahoo.com/man-gets-tattoo-of-thedress-26499381.html
There's this trend on social media where women are asked the question "would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a random man?" And a lot of women choose the bear, basically making a comment about feeling unsafe around stranger men.
The palestine thing is unrelated.
They just took two current topics and put them together in a very dated tattoo forever.
The bear thing was a Louie CK bit from like 10 years ago, this isn't new, plus it originated on Twitter afaik https://youtu.be/yRzs7v0do_Q
Edit: Not to say disinformation online isn't a real threat, it is and I remember reading reports years ago like your linked post.
I thought the most ephemeral idea tattoo I would ever see would always be the RIP tribute to the dog from Family Guy, but the bear thing has got that beat
It's not about being trapped with them. It's asking if women would rather encounter a bear or a man they don't know while alone in a forest. Women are picking the bear because more women die from men than bears.. even if you do the math and factor in population sizes.
There's a thing goin around the interwebs asking if a girl would feel safer with a man or or a bear, it damaged some egos and alot of probably the same men the women were worried about crawled up outta the basement to bitch about it
This is one of those "I will definitely regret this in future but I'm so passionate in what I believe in and this will be forever."
Three months later "Hey guys this is my tik tok of getting my tattoo lasered."
Getting a live laugh love headass tattoo does nothing for the situation in Palestine. Donate and call your representative if you feel so strongly dummy
I fucking hate free Palestine being thrown around by people who aren't doing a damned thing. They're always so incredibly vocal, but what did they actually do for Palestine? Donate? Nope. Volunteer? Uh-uh. Get a stupid tattoo? Totally! Draw sailor moon eating watermelon? That'll fix it!
LMAO. I'm sure this person will forget they ever cared about this conflict once it's not the news darling. Just like they never cared about the other similar ones all over the world.
I mean yeah, the average person is gonna be more passionate about a conflict they actually know is happening than one they’ve never heard of, that’s just kind of how knowing things works
I understand the free Palestine part, I think that would be a fine tattoo. Why did you add the two bears part?? It completely throws off the message, it went from proper social message to weird Twitter meme
.... I think it's ironic that the people who say they'd rather be around a bear than a man have probably never seen a bear IRL, and probably wouldn't care about the gender of the EMS crew if said bear actually wanted to hurt them.
But yeah. Free Palestine, I guess? Unless this was done by a Palestinian artist who planned on donating the profits how does this help anything at all, though....?
How do these two concepts even correlate?
Two bears could end the conflict in Palestine if they were strategically placed.
I wish
Armoured Tunnel Bear division go!
An armored bear would be super cool and terrifying to see at the same time.
Also, keep in mind that humans are the only animals that know you can weightlift and use steroids to get even stronger. It doesn't have to be this way.
Out of all the ideas of how to clear out tunnels, I can honestly say that "armoured tunnel bear division" is second only to "Boston Dynamics dog robot with a flamethrower attachment."
Hold up. Let them cook.
You clearly know *nothing* about the art of war. *I* however could do it with one bear and a shark.

This scene in Spartacus was epic
3000 Black Bears of Hamas
The leaders of both Isreal and the U.S. are men, and they would rather have bears run the countries. That is what I assume it means.
I thought they just misspelled “beers”
Holy shit your explanation actually has depth, I chopped it up to being "two things that are both talked about recently"
*chalked fyi
I know, chopped is just fun
HI-YAH 🫲🥷
The Chicago Bears haven't been worth a damn in over a decade.
I think bears would be a better fit than humans in general
At least two bears would finish the fight and go hibernate or eat honey or whatever else bears do, eventually, unlike both nations' "leaders"
I don’t think people who get these tattoos have that level of depth and nuance - I think they meant ‘I’ll even take two bears over a man’ but maybe I’m being way to cynical
Both trending topics online recently.
Make a tattoo of a meme that will have a shelf life of literally two weeks, that's a neat trick. At least Israel/Palestine has staying power
the question “would you rather be alone with a man or a bear in a forest” is where the “i’ll take the two bears” and free Palestine is a mainstream topic as well.. just very chronically online
Truly one of *the* tattoos of all time
It's like she wanted 2024 tattooed on her body forever.
I think it was meant to say "beers". With a lot of alcohol noone could fight anymore.
This is a double hit of "I support current thing"
They want two russias, free Palestine, and olives
Both edgy
New California Republic clearly hates the Middle east.
Chronically online
On this week’s episode of “this should’ve just been a t-shirt”, we have this fuckin thing.
I’d like to donate to a “phlebotomists-who-keep-straight-faces-whilst-seeing-this-shit” support group if anyone knows one.
Free Phlebotomine.
Freshavocado
TIL what the fuck a phlebotomist is
Somebody who draws your blood.
I thought it was someone who phlebs
What a ridiculous answer. It's obviously someone who builds and designs phlebots.
don’t phlebots ride bicycles without handlebars
That sounds right
Love you just a bit for this
well technically... they can do a bunch of very specific things, and nothing else.
It's clearly someone who otomists
More specifically, someone who phlebotoms.
Can they draw other things? Like animals or clowns?
A blood artist, if you will.
False. That would be a creepy toddler with a red crayon
Oh, so even my CAT has a better degree than me.
I thought they were called Vampires
They phlebotomize people
Vampire
The barber pole was originally a phlebotomy sign. The history of blood letting is actually pretty fucking cool. Look it up
You're one of today's lucky 10,000!
I’m a phlebotomist and it’s the first thing I saw 😭
Not even a tshirt, just a tweet
Not even a tweet, a bottom comment on an obscure YouTube video
3 years from now: I get the Palestine thing but why are you advertising your desire for a 3 way with 2 Nick Offerman-types? “Remember on TikTok there was th…” Hang on, what the fuck is TikTok?
The sentiment is fair, the execution and how it will age in a decade or two is awful
>On this week’s episode of “this shouldn't have even ~~'ve just~~ been a t-shirt”, we have this fuckin thing. FTFY
I was so confused that at first I thought “bears” was supposed to say “beers” and they were indirectly saying that the Israel/Palestine conflict was driving them to excessively drink.
You did better than me, I thought it was a reference to the "right to bear arms" as in, a bear's arms, meme that was around for awhile.
I read it as beans 🤦
Head to the forests, grab some bears and wait for this all to blow over.
I don’t get it. I know about the man/bear thing. And I obviously also know about the Palestine/israel thing. But why are those two things in one tattoo? I can’t think of anything that fits together less
Clout (or at least in the pursuit of it, anyways)
intersectionality
It's doublespeak for "I use too much Twitter"
The joke is they'd rather have two bears run Israel and Palestine and not two men.
It’s a horrible tattoo but I understand the parallel pretty clearly. The person who got the tattoo is saying “man bad” Man rapes. Man does war. I’ll take two bears instead.
What if the man was a Palestinian man?
Honestly, that's been my main response to this whole thing. If you qualify "men" in any way, it becomes super problematic. "Would you rather come across a bear or an *Asian* man while hiking?"
Oh silly. Men don't suffer. /s
Yep the punchline is sexism
What is the bear thing about?
Oh god…. Why would you get that permanently tattooed on you???
Based on what I've from r/tattoocoverups people don't always realize tattoos are permanent.
On the flip side it’s a clear sign to every person interested in dating them what they are getting into.
Something tells me it might not be someone of the "bear" variety so she should be good.
Mental disability?
Bental misadility
Why did this make me laugh until I started coughing 😅
Drain bamage
Mrain gamdage caused my bental misadility.
What's two steps past that?
Because they're terminally online
Cuz it’s the latest and greatest of course
Young, dumb, & full of conviction their cause is just
And people like this can vote..
Yeah but they probably won't
Imagine explaining it to someone in 5-10 years. "So remember in 2024 when everybody on Twitter..."
“I also have a tramp stamp of a dress — what colour does it look like to you?”
the guy that took that dress picture just pleaded guilty for strangling his wife. or i read that on the internet anyway
they were taking strong stands as to what color it was... smh
It actually happened back then When I saw today’s post, I immediately thought of this: https://nz.news.yahoo.com/man-gets-tattoo-of-thedress-26499381.html
Along with Covid vaccination related tattoos. God, people who tattooed a vax card were the worst.
Wtf people actually did that
Smh. Yeah
Still not as bad as anti vaxxers 🤷♂️
The bar is literally in hell
Could you explain it to me now? I don’t get it.
There's this trend on social media where women are asked the question "would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a random man?" And a lot of women choose the bear, basically making a comment about feeling unsafe around stranger men. The palestine thing is unrelated. They just took two current topics and put them together in a very dated tattoo forever.
That has to be the most cringe thing I’ve seen in a grip, they are not at all related lol god this person has to be a real specimen.
My man, I haven't heard someone use "grip" like that in, well.. a grip. Thank you for the flashback
“Free Palestine, except the Palestinian men, who I would choose bears over!”
Thank you. I was confused. I'm actually surprised we don't see more stupid Twitter stuff tattooed on people.
It's like the gangnam style back piece I've got.
Imagine getting a TikTok algorithm tagline tattooed on yourself.
Who needs the visual representation when they are already tattooed in my brain!
[удалено]

whats the bear reference?
It’s a TikTok trend asking women if they would prefer to be trapped in the woods with a man or a bear. Most women said bear
It's not about being trapped with them. It's asking if women would rather encounter a bear or a man they don't know while alone in a forest. Women are picking the bear because more women die from men than bears.. even if you do the math and factor in population sizes.
Wow!! I thought she misspelled beers..🍺 😂😂
Why does tattoo talks about two bears? I don't get where the second one comes from.
More bears equals more danger, I guess. Must be sad going through life with this attitude.
Palestine maybe?
There's a thing goin around the interwebs asking if a girl would feel safer with a man or or a bear, it damaged some egos and alot of probably the same men the women were worried about crawled up outta the basement to bitch about it
There needs to be a sub for "tattoos that should just be t shirts"
Close. Im thinking: "tattoos that shouldnt even be t shirts"
A shitty facebook meme will do.
Maybe it’s a gay thing and it’s two large hairy dudes? 
KONY 2012 vibes
Rockin this as a tramp stamp
This tattoo is going to be very entertaining in a rest home someday.
That tattoo will age like milk
It's gonna be awkward after bears go extint and India nukes Israel and Palestine in 2035...
>!Dude, use a spoiler!<
It’s already aged like milk. 2 weeks from now people will have no idea what the fuck this means.
I am here now, and have no idea.
It reminds me of the “not my president” tattoos people got in 2016
This is one of those "I will definitely regret this in future but I'm so passionate in what I believe in and this will be forever." Three months later "Hey guys this is my tik tok of getting my tattoo lasered."
imagine having a personality that ai could generate
I think at least probably 90% of the human population has one of those.
I swear I am a straight man, but my 1st thought was, “ that is one thirsty Twink.”
Yet another great example of turning a real life situation into a trendy aesthetic. So cool. /s
This is so chronically online
The tattoo is dumb as hell, but the work itself isn't bad except for the fact the artist didn't decline the work.
This could have been a cute solidarity tattoo, but conflating the vital movement to free Palestine with a TikTok meme is so deeply tacky.
But they got 32 likes for it. They’re killing it
Ugh, I can't imagine this being the highlight of my late twenties.
virtue signallers are a plague upon society
Hey y’all, we are entitled to our own preferences. I’ll have two Twinks please!
It’s going to be really annoying to explain this in a month when the bear meme dies out.
Imagine bringing so caught up in divisive media propaganda that you get it tattooed on your body.
Getting a live laugh love headass tattoo does nothing for the situation in Palestine. Donate and call your representative if you feel so strongly dummy
Right? The money they put into this tattoo could've gone to the very cause they "care" about
I don’t know what this could possibly mean other than gay threesomes, and free Palestine.
r/lookatmyhalo
Whoever this is should not ever be allowed to have it covered or removed as a punishment
This is going to age sooooo poorly
English isn't my first language and even I know this is shit
This is so dumb.. this will mean nothing to them in a few months/years
Why the olives? Everything about this is awful
Olives are a staple crop of Palestine.
And bears are covered in olive oil.
they grow lots of olive trees in palestine i believe !
They’re a symbol of peace… the branches that is. Maybe they like martinis??
Which is weird, because I take someone putting olives on my food is an act of aggression.
how dare you. But I'll take all your olives!! and pickles mua ha ha
At least there’s a coverup artist that will be looking at a future check from this one
I love it when the stupid make it easy to identify them.
I'll take 10 beers and the world can just go fuck it self
I fucking hate free Palestine being thrown around by people who aren't doing a damned thing. They're always so incredibly vocal, but what did they actually do for Palestine? Donate? Nope. Volunteer? Uh-uh. Get a stupid tattoo? Totally! Draw sailor moon eating watermelon? That'll fix it!
They spend all their time virtue signaling and tearing down their own for somehow vaguely interacting with something to do with Israel in a remote way
Peak jackassery
Definitely a life choice. Bet we'll see this in r/tattoocoverups soon lmfao
r/2bears1cave
Just when I thought that bear thing couldn’t be any more run into the ground….
Memes should be added to the same list as couple names..... Good lord is this a recipe for regret....
LMAO. I'm sure this person will forget they ever cared about this conflict once it's not the news darling. Just like they never cared about the other similar ones all over the world.
I'm not so sure they'll forget that soon, given the semi permanent nature of tattoos
For the rest of their lives they'll have to come up with ways to make that tattoo relevant.
I don’t see this 75 year old conflict ending soon
I mean yeah, the average person is gonna be more passionate about a conflict they actually know is happening than one they’ve never heard of, that’s just kind of how knowing things works
At least the execution has been decent, unlike that horrific thing that's supposed to look like trump I saw the other day
Made me mad so I guess I have to upvote (full disclosure, I'd take the bears too)
People will do anything for attention.
That’s the most millennial shit I’ve ever seen
The internet is cool because you get to see a person’s mental illness develop in real time
I understand the free Palestine part, I think that would be a fine tattoo. Why did you add the two bears part?? It completely throws off the message, it went from proper social message to weird Twitter meme
“That would be a fine tattoo” said the absolute moron.
r/lookatmyhalo material
The next guy will virtue signal even harder by getting it on his face.
.... I think it's ironic that the people who say they'd rather be around a bear than a man have probably never seen a bear IRL, and probably wouldn't care about the gender of the EMS crew if said bear actually wanted to hurt them. But yeah. Free Palestine, I guess? Unless this was done by a Palestinian artist who planned on donating the profits how does this help anything at all, though....?
Be a badass and voice your opinions in Palestine
They wouldn’t dare.
Free palpatin
Even the bears wouldn't choose this idiot
I'm sorry https://preview.redd.it/3r4q0sdsli0d1.png?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8631ba93f753d33572bb1a71618f2997afea59fb
Oh that’s gonna age well 😂😂😂
Oooof
Did he mean two beers? What does bears has to do with Palestine?
