      Yeah. The Greeks also didnt live anywhere near the arctic and couldn’t have possibly known of the existance of polar bears there. They just named the north “the arctic”, aka, the place the bear constellations point. Then, the antarctic is “the opposite of that”

          I can’t be certain, but the thought keeps me up at night. Even worse, there could be an antibear in the room with you right now. We have no idea what they look like and they may be invisible to non antipeople.

            You’re thinking of dark bears which don’t interact with regular bears and are hard to detect.

              Racism’s not cool, man. Nothing wrong with a dark bear interacting with any other color bear.
