A healthy human liver contains 575 international units (IU) of vitamin A per gram while a polar bear’s liver contains between 24,000 and 35,000 IU per gram. Compare that to the tolerable upper level of vitamin A intake for a healthy adult human: 10,000. Signs of toxicity generally occur when approximately 25,000 to 33,000 IU are consumed.
Illness severity depended on how much liver the explorers consumed, but symptoms typically included drowsiness, sluggishness, irritability, severe headache, bone pain, blurred vision and vomiting. While milder cases merely involved flaking around the mouth, some accounts reported cases of full-body skin loss. Even the thick skin on the bottoms of a patient’s feet could peel away, leaving the underlying flesh bloody and exposed. The worst cases ended in liver damage, hemorrhage, coma and death.
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.
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?

People who hoard money like that are just a rare variant of the crazy cat lady.
No need to get misogynistic, friend.
“Crazy cat ladies” (formerly known as: witches, spinsters, old maids, among others) have historically been women who don’t marry, and prefer low-key companionship with cats (who demand a consensual relationship, and won’t tolerate being imposed upon) and other animals, as well as woman-to-woman friendships, over traditional domestic duties as a brood mare and household servant.
The whole hoarding thing is a trope, as it can happen to men and women alike, just like all hoarding tendencies. It may be slightly more common in women because women are raised to be more nurturing and compassionate, and often taught to ignore the practical boundaries of their efforts in pursuit of perfection, but that doesn’t mean it is exclusive in any way.
But either way, “crazy cat lady” is highly problematic language, and if you care at all about such things, you may want to avoid using it in the future.

You’re way overreading what I wrote and pretty much replacing what I meant with something else from your own mind.
I just meant it as a well known example of hoarding.
I actually live in the same building as a lady who is crazy (i.e. has deep psychological problems, if I’m not mistaken schizoprenia), has LOTS of cats and even regularly feeds the local strays - quite literally a crazy lady that loves cats.
No need to go into your cultural assumptions and presumptions about some local stereotype most of which doesn’t even apply in my own culture.
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.
The way things are going they won’t be around much longer anyhow.
I read on here recently that Polar Bears have lived through an age of no Polar ice. Which is quite encouraging think. I edited to paste link to article https://polarbearscience.com/2023/06/16/new-evidence-that-polar-bears-survived-1600-years-of-ice-free-summers-in-the-early-holocene/
Fuck. I thought he knew some serious shit & that he was confident that billionaires would not be around much longer
“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.
Some of them are going to die, but thats a sacrifice I am willing to make
I wonder which there is more of…
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.”
It’s 1g, you could do laparoscopic biopsy to get that amount of liver, and you wouldn’t expose the bear to trace cocaine and hair loss supplements

There are much simpler ways of removing billionaires than spreading rumors that might convince one or two of them to try a new delicacy. And typically those methods of removal cost under 50cpr.
that is like 2 out of 2000, I would still call that a win
Having murderous fantasies about people just because they’re wealthy hardly makes you any better person than the ones you despise.
Not all wealthy people, just insanely wealthy ones, so wealthy that it becomes an act of aggression against all the rest of humanity at that point. Imagine someone hoarding all the water during a drought, that is what these people will be trying to do if there is ever a drought.
How do you think that billionaires amass such wealth? Hard work? Proper budgeting?
The ONLY way someone can get that rich is by the exploitation of millions. I hope they get EVERYTHING that is coming to them—feet first so they can savor the moment. ☺️
Joker I know you murder people for fun but if I kill you I’ll be exactly the same!!!1!
Yeah no, it definitely does. Thinking about someone dying isn’t even close to the damage billionaires do to the planet and everyone who lives on it on a daily basis.
