That's an awesome swing! This bear mus be heavy. Write a positive review: "This swing was tested by bears”
@stux A bear that likes to sit and swing. Scary if the kids are outside, but, it's cute as can be.
@stux Incredible 🐻😍

@stux There is an actual 'bear-proof' test for products, as Tom Scott explains. 🐻

If this survives for an hour, it passes the Bear Test.

@stux that’s amazing 🀩
@stux each time I see things like this I wonder why so many people don't realise animals are intelligent enough to find ways to enjoy themselves and have fun; this is creativity, which proves intelligence and sentience.

Alt review:

"Tested by 🐻ears but attracts 🐻 ear's. From the video the fence height looks like the main 🐻 issue, though? From a fun stand point the bear 🐻 looked like it was enjoying the swing. 10/10"

@stux Wow! That is so cute, funny, amd amazing all at that same time! Do you know where this was?
@stux That is the sweetest thing ever.
@stux in Yellowstone they test products to see if bears can destroy them. @tomscott made a video about it recently
@stux This absolutely just made my day!
@stux having the time of their life!
@stux Extend the playground and donate him a trampoline.

@RenkeSiems

I think the claws would shred a trampoline pretty quickly!

@innerspacegirl That should be part of the fun.
@innerspacegirl @RenkeSiems
Duh!
Bear proof trampoline of course.
Just for the heck of it. (And the amazing videos, naturally)
@stux "I come here to get away from it all....I think the other bears just don't.....'get me'...."
@stux cocaine bear needs a place to chill while he's coming down
Experts say β€˜cocaine sharks’ may be feasting on drugs dumped off Florida

Erratic behavior observed in some sharks could be result of them ingesting bales of cocaine cast overboard by passing traffickers

The Guardian
@stux "Mama, Papa and Baby Bear agree: it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing! 5 stars"

@stux

There was a study by Johanna Meijer in 2009 that placed rodent running wheels in the wild and filmed them: many did, just for the pleasure of running!

"Rats, shrews, and even frogs found their way to the wheelβ€”more than 12,000 animals over 3 years. The creatures seemed to relish the feeling of running without going anywhere."

Even in the Wild, Mice Run on Wheels

Place a running wheel outside, and wild animals will flock to it, likely because it's fun

@stux @rmd1023 why must bears be so frien-shaped but not actually friens?
@stux He's having so much fun!!!
@stux and you let a wild bear continue to use your garden swing? How absolutely beautiful of you - you are a precious person 🀩🀩🀩
@stux
Only extra-good children are allowed to play on the special swing set next to the bear forest.

@stux

β€œI noticed a bear kept going on my swing in the backyard, so I invited all the neighborhood children over to play there.”

@stux That's cool, but after seeing those first couple of seconds I'd never be letting the kids on the swing ever again!
@agbuckley @stux right? Hopefully kids make enough noise to keep the bear away, but that run at the beginning made me terrified to think what if a kid was out there at the time!? I'd be putting up a 6' fence and let the bear have that damn swingset.

@stux

It certainly must cover the bear essentials.

@stux incredible Thanks for a laugh too!
@stux @maudenificent recently learned there’s a facility that tests things for bearproofness by setting bears loose on them https://youtu.be/Xn_O2li_jpk
If this survives for an hour, it passes the Bear Test.

@stux And then there is this.

@stux Omg, that's sooooo funny!!! Bears are people, too πŸ˜„ ❀️
@stux hard to argue with that enthusiasm!
@stux It even runs to the swing like human children do and then wanting both swings πŸ˜„
@stux i watched that tv show bear and he looks nothing like this. FAKE!

@stux

Such an agile bear! *Jaw drops to floor*
