Or is he from one of those indigenous Peruvian tribes that speaks the King’s English?

Edit: A friend of mine pointed out that he’s also not a South American spectacled bear.

What the fuck, Michael Bond?

Bear anatomy does not permit a bear to speak with a Peruvian accent.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
