Luckily, if you try to eat a polar bear liver, the polar bear will stop you.
But don't worry, human liver is safe for polar bears to consume.
Vitamin AHHHHHHH MY SKIIINNNN
Vitamin ayyye 👉😎👉
Vitamin eh 🇨🇦

Am I the only one seeing the opportunity regarding billionaires? Of course we have to use a polar bear who is already dead so we don't have to kill the poor thing to get rid of billionaires. We can start by leaking the rumors that when a polar bear dies due to old age its liver releases certain enzymes that make it extremely delicious. Also eating a spoon of that liver each day for a week has been shown to elongate telomeres and greatly reduce, even revert, aging.
...greatly reduce, even revert, aging.
There's a case to be made that it does stop its consumer from aging much further if applied correctly.
I'd sacrifice a polar bear to get rid of a billionaire, ngl.
That's an interesting statistical question, too. Are there more polar bears still alive than billionaires?
Sure, tons of them in zoos. Well more than billionaires.
Tho I’d like to see them in zoos instead. Rare animal and all. Worth gawking at the way people back in the day would gawk at the strange “savages” from distant lands..
I'd pay to see Elon musk jumping up and down in a zoo enclosure, throwing his shit at the visitors.
You would pay to see Musks Tweets?
Xeets
By an order of magnitude.
WWF estimates around 26,000 polar bears remaining (22,000-30,000). And there are 2640 billionaires globally according to Forbes.
"Sacrificing a whole other species is a chance I'm willing to take"
If we don't get rid of rich people many more species are going to be sacrificed.
Stops the ageing process immediately!
Do you even need to involve an actual liver? We could just start a rumor and then skin some billionaires the old fashioned way.
You don't even need to make all the marketing bullshit, just slap a US$ 5k price per serving and the rich will flock to it
Would be amazingly ironic too... To be killed by eating the flesh of a species that they played no insignificant part in making endangered.
Couldn’t we just skip the middle man so to speak and feed some billionaires to a few polar bears out right?
No, no, no. "It's extremely delicious to the hunter, and only the hunter, when the hunter kills the bear with their bare hands. Oh, look, there goes a cuddly delicious liver bear right now. Bon Appetit, Mr Bezos."
The reason that polar bear liver has toxic levels of vitamin A is that seal liver does and polar bears eat those.
So don't eat seal liver either.
But I want super gout to demonstrate my wealth!

Theat found the bone-hurting juice. It’s a polar bear liver milkshake
Sounds more like skin hurting juice.
What vitamin overdose would cause bones to fall off? 🤔
but symptoms typically included [...], bone pain, [...]
Boneitis?
My only regret.
That problem is easily solved. Don’t eat polar bear
How many people are trying to eat polar bear liver?
Very few actually! Apparently some Dutch explorers back in the 1500s trying to sail over the top of the globe got stuck in ice and ended up killing and eating a polar bear and documented their illnesses
We didn't figure out what happened to them until the 1940s
I'm more surprised with how they managed to kill a polar bear. Those things are ferocious.
Guns? Like a lot of them?
Is 2 grams safe?
Sure. Each gram means death and since death is a negative, they cancel each other out!
(Don't try it though.)
This is true. It's why you never see dead people with an even number of fatal bullet wounds.
Shalt thou count to one no more no less
Five is right out...
It is also fatal to the bear.
