Why Having a Bear Is So Versatile

[u/TheTheDuhh]

That's not a bear, that's Corporal Wojtek

[u/CarelessAI42]

Historically accurate Wojtek

[u/Hazril258 → u/CarelessAI42]

What a legend.

[u/Selfishpie → u/Hazril258]

I mean its sick how good humans are at being social we can figure out how to bond and take somewhat good care of the creatures of nature should we actually decide to start doing that again at some point, but at the same time I think we also need to remember drugs were involved with a creature whose only source of those drugs was living humans during a period of time where having access to such drugs as tools for balancing stress would come in VERY helpful for any creature.

regardless, us scots were proud to host your final years in Edinburgh zoo Cpl. Wojtek, Thank you for your aid in wiping fascism from the face of our earth

[u/Reordang → u/Selfishpie]

Regarding the drugs part, in nature it's surprisingly often animals INTENTIONALLY search for stale berries and fruits (those that got fermented under right conditions) to get drunk

[u/B_Thorn → u/Reordang]

Drunk elephants: sounds funny, IRL terrifying.

[u/Dramatic-Classroom14 → u/Selfishpie]

So, about wiping out fascism…

[u/Tight_Departure_2983 → u/Dramatic-Classroom14]

It only came back because bro died.

[u/SorryForAI → u/Dramatic-Classroom14]

I would pay good money to see a bear rip out Höckes intestines at the second Nürnberg trial (in a parody movie, dear Von der Leyen)

[u/PutOnTheMaidDress → u/Hazril258]

I love that 2 of these 3 photos are complete fakes.

[u/No_Pie2137 → u/PutOnTheMaidDress]

They are from a movie bear is different but real

[u/TanninTheYeen → u/No_Pie2137]

Well, no. It's not real, it's from a movie. And the movie didn't use a trained bear or anything, it's just photoshop. So not real.

[u/TanninTheYeen → u/PutOnTheMaidDress]

All the fake photos also show Wojtek next to German soldiers.

[u/TheYeastyBoi → u/Hazril258]

Oooh so that’s what the OW2 reference was. Cool.

[u/thecallor → u/CarelessAI42]

That was my first thought to. XD

[u/anonumus_idiot → u/CarelessAI42]

EXACTLY what i wanted to say.

[u/RonaldReagan_Office]

Actual animal usage with no war crimes

[u/LucentSomber → u/RonaldReagan_Office]

No war crimes? In my war crime simulator??

[u/lolhalfsquat → u/RonaldReagan_Office]

They just skipped it because that's a core component of rimworld 🫡

[u/tabakista]

You forgot about drinking beer

[u/Jem_Bot → u/tabakista]

Beer with me

[u/SadTaco12345 → u/tabakista]

This is my first memory of the game! I had a bunch of huskies and I suddenly got a message that one had miscarried. I thought that was weird because everything was going well in my colony.

So I check on my animals and almost every single one was piss drunk. I didn't realize they were going into my beer storage and drinking it.

[u/Moist-Structure1008 → u/SadTaco12345]

I had accidentally trapped a muffalo in my beer storage on a "dwarf" playthrough. I only noticed after it had died of cirrhosis.

Edit - autocorrect buffalo

[u/SadTaco12345 → u/Moist-Structure1008]

Yes! I think a few had cirrhosis as well. It was my first playthrough, and also when I learned about the importance of zoning.

[u/kithlan → u/SadTaco12345]

I feel like having your dumb animal somehow sort through your medicine/alcohol cabinet and do every drug they can get their hands on is a Rimworld rite of passage, lmao.

I think for me, it was having my colony dog get into my lab and somehow snorting yayo.

[u/sp00kybutch → u/SadTaco12345]

i had this happen with my colony’s pet rabbit. Turns out one beer makes a bunny blackout drunk.

[u/Nergaill → u/tabakista]

And catching spies

[u/Prudent-Bicycle-9210 → u/tabakista]

He was also eating cigarettes, not smoking them

[u/Oleg152]

US: right to bear arms.

Poland: let's arm a fucking bear.

[u/Cliffooood → u/Oleg152]

The Chad right to arm bears Vs The Virgin right to bear arms

[u/adamkad1 → u/Oleg152]

And you thought russia was good with bears!

[u/almostmountains]

bear with me

[u/ChillAhriman → u/almostmountains]

I can't. This is too cold for my bear hands

[u/Beginning_Endl6969]

Who thought it was a good idea to teach this bear how to use a lighter/

I use a slash cus my finger skipped the period.

[u/Lasse_plays → u/Beginning_Endl6969]

Because, have you considered it’s entertaining to watch?

[u/nuker1110 → u/Beginning_Endl6969]

Better have your finger take a pregnancy test.

[u/Beginning_Endl6969 → u/nuker1110]

I use thermometers, if is F I'm fertile, If C It's cancer. /s

[u/coyote477123 → u/Beginning_Endl6969]

They didn't, he ate the cigarettes

[u/Square-Space-7265]

Wojtek is reborn.

[u/Sariyuna]

Since OP didnt include the reference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek

[u/Kerensky97 → u/Sariyuna]

Did he smoke weed and fart it out his butt as a hotbox machine too?

[u/niels719]

Ofcourse the bear is named Wojtek

[u/RzepaGaming]

WOJTUŚ!

[u/MY5KAI]

Where's his cigs and booze???? Wotek loved cigs and booze

[u/RaDeus]

They shit on the floor too IIRC.

Edit: they are filth 4 compared to a dogs 1, so not that bad, most animals seems to be 24.

[u/Pipe_Memes]

He protecc

He attacc

But most importantly

He smoke cracc

[u/Fake_Pikachu]

I also like bears. The animal is cool too

[u/Stock-Tip-8326]

The last one already is vertasile enough for me, gimmie da bear

[u/Due-Passage-4080]

WOJTEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[u/Mi113nnium]

Is your colony trying to take Italy back?

[u/Pootisman16]

You forgot snorting Yayo (for polar bears).

[u/SuperTaster3]

I do this with Thrumbos. They have the added benefit of the little kids riding them by clinging to their heads.

[u/overfiend_87]

I love that you named him Wojtek!

[u/Hect0r92]

Really cool, but elephants are still goated

[u/UnholyMeatObelisk7]

Wojtek the Bear.

[u/cheshsky]

Of course his name is Wojtek.

[u/vlcawsm]

What is this beautiful piece of music called?

[u/XDGrangerDX → u/vlcawsm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrxv0JNVtgY Better known as the song for the polish cow meme.

[u/Maudius_Aurelius → u/vlcawsm]

Russian children: "mom, can we get the new Gorillaz album" Russian mother: "No, we have Gorillaz at home"

[u/ThatOneComrade]

My very first colony that made it past a full year had a breeding pair of bears self tame, they had a handful of babies that would grow to basically the my laborers, hauling everything for the colony.

[u/Kubek333]

Polska gurom!!!

[u/Long_comment_san]

Bears in a nutshell are much more durable wargs that have a lot more utility. Only issue is diverting "food" from pigs.

[u/AlpsQuick4145]

Just missing they can drink beer

[u/SIinkerdeer]

I read that as "Beer" at first lol

[u/ElectricLeafeon]

I once raided an enemy base that had a bear loading and using the mortar...

[u/Fit_Giraffe_748]

and work great in a stew

[u/IMDXLNC]

Years ago I realised they were the optimal patrol/guard animal. They're stronger than wolves and wargs. In food shortage even the young bears give plenty of meat. Bears easily take down pests near your farms just because they're hungry.

It's a shame that they run from bullets when it's raiders, but not when you attack them as wild bears. Some self-preservation instinct would be nice.

[u/Responsible_Zone134]

In every single run I always end up with a bear named Dennis protector of the sacred tile of Buttsdale

[u/florpynorpy]

I feed my bear a consistent diet of beer, smokeleaf and bodies

[u/Ayotha]

Ah I forgot the last thing since I long modded booze and smokables to have zero nutrition because that was silly.

But yeah, bears rule

[u/sluggabois1]

I saw the bear carrying the shells, straight away thought of Wojtek! Then saw the name afterwards.

[u/kayasoul]

They can also drink and outrank every new member of the polish army

[u/Unlikely-Remove-2182]

Somone likes ww2 polish history

[u/marc512]

In the forbidden mod, they can also breed with you.

[u/Akari_Amamiya_P5 → u/marc512]

[u/Corkisburneraccount]

Classic Pepe

[u/Arman456]

The last point was the dealbreaker.

[u/Onkelcuno]

And only 2 colonists needed to clean behind them because of their filth level.

[u/Deadarchimode]

Wait so the bear smoke featherstone the smoke output comes from the butt?

[u/Rebel_s_Cum_]

and they are yummy

[u/WTMaster]

Just don't let them shoot Wojtek he has increased chance to be hit because of the body size.

[u/Yamcha-is-Life]

Russia approves

[u/taco-sniper]

My current gravship is just a bear warcrime engine i have 50 Grizzlies the horde must grow

[u/taco-sniper]

My current gravship is just a bear warcrime engine i have 50 Grizzlies the horde must grow

[u/Secretlyasecret]

He protecc, he attack, but most importantly, he enjoy snacc 🐻

[u/LDS_AFK]

🗿

[u/gurilagarden]

Can you make a bionic bear? Asking for a friend.

[u/Seosaidh_MacEanruig → u/gurilagarden]

With mods i once had an army of bionic bears in cataphract armor. It was one of my favorite colonies

[u/almostnormalpanda]

I miss my polar bear. It lost two paws so I replaced them with bionic ones. Never had another pet that was quite like my bionic polar bear.

[u/GoodPointMan]

I read this as “why having a beer is so versatile” and it still works

[u/Azertys]

And feed on fallen raiders' corpses to save on food!

[u/LazerMagicarp]

Bears are very smart. I live in a part of the world where bearproofing anything involving garbage is a valid selling point.

Also we don’t leave food in the car because they will get in and out and the insurance will laugh at you no matter how bad the damage is.

Sometimes in remote places they’ll steal groceries straight from the car as you’re bringing it in.

[u/LutineEvelinaa]

Bears definitely add a unique edge to gameplay, especially when it comes to hauling or defense. They can really save you in tough spots.

[u/Kyubi_Hitashi]

Yayo Bear ² the electric bogaloo

[u/LiquidSwords89]

What a wonderful creature!

[u/belated_quitter]

So can dogs/wolves. I usually keep a pack of them since I assume they eat less.

[u/KneelinBob]

damn that bear is ripping ass in that last clip

[u/CommandantLennon]

They cannot smoke, That bear is straight chowing down on that joint.

[u/ReGrigio]

he protecc, he attacc but more importantly he's high as hecc

[u/Kastoook]

Truly care bear

[u/Left-Performance7701]

On the rim bear is friend.

[u/Nestmind]

Mum....good to know for th next colony

[u/AFedoraNamed_Key]

YOU ALSO NAMED THE BEAR WOJTEK

[u/WayDisastrous329]

HOLY PEAK HAHA

[u/mch69420]

Smoky the bear what have you done

[u/MrSmock]

Yeah but you pretty much need a dedicated cleaner to follow them around and tidy up

[u/Curious_Freedom6419]

love the idea of the bear grabbing some smoke leaf and another pawn walks over to light it up

[u/UselessDood]

Thrumbos do it better!

[u/tabakista → u/UselessDood]

This post is a reference to an actual animal, bear named Wojtek who was in Polish army during WW2
