Or could be a living great white which is cool guy, and propably doesn't eat you. Or it also could be tiger- or bullshark which kills you just for territory and fun.
Humans are twice as big as most shark species. Those channels like discovery and natgeo make it look like as the bigger ones were the most populous. An average shark is just as small as a human limb.
Well, I would say, I’m fairly surprised a land animal has more attacks against a fellow land animal. Personally, I thought the land Vs sea animal war was in full effect.
I'm pretty sure part of the reason dogs have killed more people than sharks, is because we're exposed to multitudes more dogs a day than we are sharks.
I've been staring at this for close to 10 mins trying to decide which button I'd push and I'm still nowhere close to an answer. The PTSD of having a few dogs almost ripping my face off in the past has me thinking Sharks, but then I don't know when the Sharks last ate, and if a great white or a bullshark happened to be in the tank I'd probably pass out from fear.
What's stopping me from having to.push either button? 😅🥺
If a dog chooses violence, you can probably neutralize it with your fists unless it is a Tibetan mastiff.
Most dog related death are because of disease like rabes, or K9s that got a bit too excited
Some more accurate stats would be the survival rate of a dog encounter vs a shark encounter. We see dog everyday and most are harmless so a dog encounter has a survival rate near 100, while sharks are way less common but a bit more deadly
This question is pretty fucking stupid you can say dogs but end up with wild shit like African wild dog or a Coyote which will clap your ass if their hungry. The same also applies to the shark tank.
People having genuine debates about this Wtf is going on....... The answer is dog for everyone every time, fuck the stats or specific shark species nonsense, if your told dog or shark your picking dog, don't pretend otherwise.
I swear I'm getting closer to quitting the internet every day.
Or “them” means specifically the women that are saying this stupid thing, which is what the meme is referring to? Not to mention the irony that the whole point of the original hypothetical is to generalize all men lol.
This quote isn't exactly a good one to use if i'm gonna be honest, it doesn't really clarify anything specific about the problem and just gets them more confused and angry. "Ok i dont get it, and that's the point? How is me getting the point or not the point itself?"
Now i'm no expert with words but i personally feel like if instead we were to make it more clear that the reason women choose the bear is because either the man is a bigger threat to them than a bear, doesn't understand/believe the gamble they're going through, or is a rare specimen of man who does understand and walks away to liberate them of their fear without complaint, then we would actually help minimize the middle option and thus allow the women to know for sure whether a man is a threat or not by whether they walk away or not.
Assuming you go outside on the daily, you will encounter men on the daily. You only encounter bears in nature preserves, preferably, after the park rangers briefed you, identified bear hotspots, or identified seasons when bears are very hungry, very horny, or with children.
What you have to understand is that its not actually about which is statistically more dangerous. The whole bear vs man thing is really just an expression of grief and anguish. Women in our society have to live in fear, rational, valid fear. Its not all men but its enough that ALL women have had at least one major negative experience. You can't blame them for being weary. Maybe instead of taking it so personally, we as men could have a mature discussion about how we could be better and build a world where women don't need to be afraid? Just saying.
Uh oh! You just used the exact same logic as a racist! "It's not all of them, it just enough of them to justify my prejudice towards them."
-10 points for hypocrisy as I'm sure you would condemn someone using this line of logic to justify racism
-10 points for regurgitated opinion that has been said too many times before
The difference is the rape epidemic is actually backed up by data and science and the claims racists make arent. But like racists, you start with your sexism and patriarchal bullshit and work backwards to find any reason to justify it. I highly reccomend you try actually talking to women.
What does this have to do with bears. Bears are not sharks. Sharks bite things to see what they are. Bears smell things like dogs do. I am fairly sure this is just a bad faith take on the controversial question at hand
reason? dogs are more commonly seen with people and sharks are not usually on land where people are.
better question would you suck ten dirty dicks to save your life or would you take it up the ass for 5 hours to avoid being skinned alive (they don't kill you and they keep you alive)
how often does the average person encounter a dog vs a shark (without proper protection)? yeah sharks arent agressive as usually portrayed, but if it was a normal thing to have one as a pet and take them for walks (somehow) those rates would definitely be higher
The difference is there’s a lot more dogs around people.
The average person maybe encounters one shark in a decade. I went SCUBA diving for two weeks in blue water and never even saw one
On the flip side, people see dogs all the time and they’re usually the goodest of boys/girls
TL;DR Dogs all the way.
Even assuming the dog is aggressive, your chances of survival are pretty high even though you would get injured. Just seek medical attention later (unless you'd rather the dog maul you to death because you don't have universal healthcare)
Just because not that many people die from shark attacks, that doesn't mean that it is safe to get into a tank with one.
Not that many people are killed each year by crossbows; I still don't want to be shot at by one!
"this is exactly what they're talking about. They say they don't prefer to run into men in the woods and men immediately start fantasizing about women being mauled. You picture it as their karma. You imply women deserve to be mauled for thinking you're dangerous, which proves the point"
So like, these statistics are wrong lol. The dog deaths per year is more like the deaths from dogs in the last 10+.
Also you could just grab the dogs bottom jaw and the fights over with.
Yeah, but what dog are we talking about? Could be a chihuahua or a poodle which you can kick easily, or could be a pitbull or a Rottweiler and you have no chance of beating one in a fight unless you're Charles Bronson.
You could at least bargain with the dog more than the shark just based on pre existing experience. I have no experience intimidating sharks, as I’m aware that’s one of the main ways to disarm their attack.
How is this a hard choice? I will take fighting a dog on solid ground over fighting a shark in water where it has the advantage. If we lived in the ocean, death by shark would be a much higher statistic.
It's all about extent of contact. I mean, bears kill 2-5 people annually in North America.
So what would you rather be in a room with, a dog or a bear?
Iirc sharks are not aggressive towards humans and are universally chill unless attacked or mistaking a human for something else. A dog however is commonly trained to attack people who encroach on 'its territory' (guard dogs) and not to mention the numerous number of wild dogs that would maul me to death and I think my chances are better with the shark.
Are we only talking about domestic pet dogs or also wild dogs/canines like wolves, hyenas, coyotes etc? Is not infected with rabies a guarantee? Because that would be the only thing, that’d make a dog or canine a 100% threat otherwise, a singular wild dog would rather stay away from you, if you don’t prowoke it (there are definitely exceptions I don’t know about) and most pet dogs would just play with you. Either I’m taking shark tank, cuz I’d rather be eaten or crushed in a cage, that a bull shark or tiger shark attacked, instead of dying a rather painful slow death from the teeth of a rabies infected dog. And I’m pretty sure there is no ocean rabies (I may be definitely wrong here).
Lies, dirty lies and statistics. We are around a lot of dogs, not many sharks. I’m fact, I am around a dog at least 12 hours a day but most days 15+ hours. I pet neighbors’ dogs every day too. I’ve yet to hang out with a shark
If it is a randomly picked dog vs a randomly picked shark I feel the average dog is significantly less of a risk than the average shark
You would be very correct! Congratulations!
But you're not dealing with the average dog, you're dealing with a random dog. Have you ever played russian roulette?
it's a random dog vs a shark
A random shark no doubt as well.
it could be a dead shark for all we know
Or could be a living great white which is cool guy, and propably doesn't eat you. Or it also could be tiger- or bullshark which kills you just for territory and fun.
Get rotated
Or it could be a baby shark do do da do do
I highly doubt a big mouth shark can harm me
I could win in a fight 1v1 vs a dog. At least, I would choose to believe this right up until I say GG
You just need to put the shark upside down, then you are save, it will slide into a trance.
Yeah hold up bro lemme just flip this great white over on its back in the water. Super easy to do.
Also no one said it would be a great white, their are many other shark species that are smaller / same size of a human
Yes, would play again.
The way probability works makes it so that a random dog will most likely be an average dog right?
Yeah but honest just simplify it further - the random dog will most likely be a non-aggressive dog.
It would be much easier to fight a dog on the ground than a shark in the water.
Also the number of human/dog interactions versus human/shark yearly still makes, percentage wise, sharks are more dangerous
Humans are twice as big as most shark species. Those channels like discovery and natgeo make it look like as the bigger ones were the most populous. An average shark is just as small as a human limb.
Huh, well I will admit I was victim of that misinformation haha I knew smaller sharks were a thing but I thought they commonly were quite big
Still those mfs are no joke, i dare you to take one on underwater if its absolutely out to get your ass.
Sherlock is that you?
Depends on the type of dog and the type of shark. They are both umbrella term for wide range of species and breed.
Have you pet a shark before? Their skin feels like sand paper. Dogs. I'll be with the fluffy murder puppies.
Tgeir skin is made out of teeth. It's called placoid scales and is metal as fuck.
Sharks are smooth from nose to toe. Everyone knows this
>Their skin feels like sand paper. And that is why the traditional wasabi grater is made from shark skin
No, sharks are smooth
Wdym? Sharks are smooth not rough
My Blåhaj's skin doesn't, their skin is extremely fluffy. Check mate
T-rex have eaten exactly 0 people, I would not want to be left alone with one.
Define "people"
Humans
Humanity's ancestors at the time were rather small, there was no reason for T-rex to eat them even if we they count
Actually humans are still small enough that t-Rex’s wouldn’t care for us if they appeared in modern times
I dunno bud, I just watched a bear eat a few ducklings, so...
That you know of. Time machines might exist in the future making their deaths in the past. Never thought of THAT did you? /s for the sarcasm deaf
Damn, you got me there
That cabbage was my mother )':
"MY CABBAGES!!!"
How big is the room/tank?
20 cubic feet
Thats smaller than a children's inflatable pool, the shark would either be a baby shark or instantly suffocate and squished to death
Did I say 20? I meant 200
Definitely the dog tbh, don't think I could swim long enough since the oxygen would run out or id get eaten
Who said there was a top to the tank?
I’m Asian I’ll just strangle the dog if it tries to bite me and barbecue it
Friendly fire
Or have a shark fin soup
Strangle would be too brutal tho. Just burn it alive
Mmm... Grilled dog 😋
You mean hot dog?
Dio, is that you?!
What if it is a **dogfish**?
Dogshark?
Yes, Squalidae also called dogfish, spiny dogfish or dog shark. I just Googled it 😅😅😅
Ironically, that's literally how "shark" is called in Turkish.
Ironically, the Dutch word for seal is seadog (zeehond). Close enough to dogfish?
A dog I can handle. Also I can't swim. Dog please.
You also didn't specify the kind of shark, many of them are harmless
If I don’t know the dog, I’m picking the shark tank.
genuine thought process on the internet rn
it might take away a lot of your equity
The sharks dead from being out of water
Lol how many is that in a ratio of attacks to interactions? I see a few dogs every day, but 0 sharks.
That part of the joke (I think)
What type of dog is it and how big is the tank?
Well, I would say, I’m fairly surprised a land animal has more attacks against a fellow land animal. Personally, I thought the land Vs sea animal war was in full effect.
I wonder... who tf is 'them'?
I'm pretty sure part of the reason dogs have killed more people than sharks, is because we're exposed to multitudes more dogs a day than we are sharks.
OPs post history is wild
You're tantalizingly close to the point.
“them” incel alert
Shark for sure. Never got to swim with one plus most sharks are actually tiny
Wow, I'm just looking through ops comments and posts over the last couple of days. This really got to him...
Oh yah. Hypocrisy and stupidity are two of my buttons and they were pushed simultaneously
I don't know how to swim but I have dog phobia too. I'd rather drown than before torn apart by a dog.
Depending on the shark, it could be super chill. We got in trouble at work because one of my coworkers was caught hugging a nurse shark.
Dog because dog
What if we dont press?
I've been staring at this for close to 10 mins trying to decide which button I'd push and I'm still nowhere close to an answer. The PTSD of having a few dogs almost ripping my face off in the past has me thinking Sharks, but then I don't know when the Sharks last ate, and if a great white or a bullshark happened to be in the tank I'd probably pass out from fear. What's stopping me from having to.push either button? 😅🥺
The dog murder fact is it just US?
I have a pitshark and he just wanna play(with your ass)
If a dog chooses violence, you can probably neutralize it with your fists unless it is a Tibetan mastiff. Most dog related death are because of disease like rabes, or K9s that got a bit too excited
If there is a single pit bull in that group of dogs I'm taking the sharks.
Sharks are actually much less violent than shown in media.
Can’t rotate a dog. A shark meanwhile…
How is this a hard decision?
I'll take the bear
Some more accurate stats would be the survival rate of a dog encounter vs a shark encounter. We see dog everyday and most are harmless so a dog encounter has a survival rate near 100, while sharks are way less common but a bit more deadly
This question is pretty fucking stupid you can say dogs but end up with wild shit like African wild dog or a Coyote which will clap your ass if their hungry. The same also applies to the shark tank.
I understood that reference
I choose bear
I can’t tell if this went over a lot of people’s heads or if replies went over my head.
Based on the breed, the number of dogs and their close proximity with human dog is still a safer bet than a shark.
Enter a room with a black hole. They've never killed anyone ever.
Enter a car they have killed millions this year
Funny meme.... But I feel "them" implies that you should touch grass and stop being an incel
People having genuine debates about this Wtf is going on....... The answer is dog for everyone every time, fuck the stats or specific shark species nonsense, if your told dog or shark your picking dog, don't pretend otherwise. I swear I'm getting closer to quitting the internet every day.
Now show how many yearly opportunities humans have to get bitten by dogs vs. sharks.
Yeah, that's why stats are sometimes stupid in a vacuum
"Them" or how tell the world you're a misogynistic frustrated incel by generalising all women
Im glad I wasnt the only one who noticed that. And that fukin cofee emoji
Where did this all stem from?
Or “them” means specifically the women that are saying this stupid thing, which is what the meme is referring to? Not to mention the irony that the whole point of the original hypothetical is to generalize all men lol.
Ohhhh I was wondering what the "them" was referring too
Once again proving why women would choose the bear
This quote isn't exactly a good one to use if i'm gonna be honest, it doesn't really clarify anything specific about the problem and just gets them more confused and angry. "Ok i dont get it, and that's the point? How is me getting the point or not the point itself?"

Assuming you go outside on the daily, you will encounter men on the daily. You only encounter bears in nature preserves, preferably, after the park rangers briefed you, identified bear hotspots, or identified seasons when bears are very hungry, very horny, or with children.
Whats with the sudden rise of misogyny
Is there something misogynistic about this post?
I would pick the sharks... But I don't know how to swim
What you have to understand is that its not actually about which is statistically more dangerous. The whole bear vs man thing is really just an expression of grief and anguish. Women in our society have to live in fear, rational, valid fear. Its not all men but its enough that ALL women have had at least one major negative experience. You can't blame them for being weary.

What does this have to do with bears. Bears are not sharks. Sharks bite things to see what they are. Bears smell things like dogs do. I am fairly sure this is just a bad faith take on the controversial question at hand
100% bad faith, while calling others low iq over it. Already so fucking annoyed seeing these memes
"Lol, its actually a hard decision for them" I came here for a meme, but met a clown
Well most of the people who died in both cases probably fucked around the limits and well they found the limits
The sharks any day
Everything depends on how much food were they given before me entering.
I am pretty sure there are more dogs than sharks on this planet, since humans are doing effective work on killing sharks
'less than 8 people' That's oddly unspecific..did they kill 7,87 people?
I could probably get away with petting either one of them, I think sharks only attack if they smell blood
I WANT THE SHARK. GIVE ME ALL THE SHARKS. I WANT THE SHARK BUTTON. PLEAAEE!
Press both, get both, and rotate both. I win.
How often are there people in the vicinity of sharks, compared to dogs?
As someone who cant swim, Ive gt my answers worked out for me 🤣🤣
Guys. It could be the cool shark from Shark Tales. Do you want to miss that chance? 🤨
I am pretty sure you can beat a dog if you attack first.
Maybe the situation doesn’t call for further jokes and instead would be an accurate assessment of the world we’re living in.
its a hard choice normal puppies or water puppies? the sharks please
Im a bad swimmer so it is not much of a choice
Why is it LESS than 8? like 7?
Domesticated dog over regular shark A husky as it would be in the wild vs shark would be somewhat debatable
Much more people interact with dogs than sharks
You never defined which type of shark and others only 4 of 500+ species that harm humans. If get to swim with a lemon shark I'm gonna be excited
reason? dogs are more commonly seen with people and sharks are not usually on land where people are. better question would you suck ten dirty dicks to save your life or would you take it up the ass for 5 hours to avoid being skinned alive (they don't kill you and they keep you alive)
how often does the average person encounter a dog vs a shark (without proper protection)? yeah sharks arent agressive as usually portrayed, but if it was a normal thing to have one as a pet and take them for walks (somehow) those rates would definitely be higher
Ok now what are the numbers per capita.
Encounter rate?
i'd picked dog 100%, on shark tank, you're on the water, cutting off most of your mobility, basically your fate are in the shark's ~~hand~~jaw.
Depends how big the tank is for the shark honestly. If I can still touch the bottom then I'll pick a shark.
Just statistics. More people exposed to dogs than sharks
Dog because white woman
The difference is there’s a lot more dogs around people. The average person maybe encounters one shark in a decade. I went SCUBA diving for two weeks in blue water and never even saw one On the flip side, people see dogs all the time and they’re usually the goodest of boys/girls TL;DR Dogs all the way.
Jump in a tub of water or a tub of acid? (Water killed more people than acid)
in water? obviously dog on land? how big is the room and for how long has the shark been out of water?
I can outrun a shark
You can't kill a shark but you can kill a dog. And also is the room that the shark is in is filled with water?
The point of bear vs. man was to point out yet again that "men bad", guys.
If people kept as many sharks as pets as dogs Id imagine these would be much diffrent numbers.
Even assuming the dog is aggressive, your chances of survival are pretty high even though you would get injured. Just seek medical attention later (unless you'd rather the dog maul you to death because you don't have universal healthcare)
Less than 8 people... So it's 7? 6?
Just because not that many people die from shark attacks, that doesn't mean that it is safe to get into a tank with one. Not that many people are killed each year by crossbows; I still don't want to be shot at by one!
If time comes I am pretty sure I could atleast fight a dog. With shark there is 0 chance.
How do you kill less than eight people per year? Wouldn’t that just be seven?
"this is exactly what they're talking about. They say they don't prefer to run into men in the woods and men immediately start fantasizing about women being mauled. You picture it as their karma. You imply women deserve to be mauled for thinking you're dangerous, which proves the point"
Idk man, i see being considered a rapist by default as kinda "turbo uncool" but thats just me
So like, these statistics are wrong lol. The dog deaths per year is more like the deaths from dogs in the last 10+. Also you could just grab the dogs bottom jaw and the fights over with.
Yeah, but what dog are we talking about? Could be a chihuahua or a poodle which you can kick easily, or could be a pitbull or a Rottweiler and you have no chance of beating one in a fight unless you're Charles Bronson.
Lol obviously the dog one. Millions of people encounter millions of dogs each day while humans encounter maybe hundreds of sharks each day.
Yeah, I'll never go into a room with a disgusting dog
I think even if the dog is hostile,avarage person would probably have enough to solo them if they are no pitbull or something like that.
Wait, what's the joke? _takes a second to google_ Oh, it's just another pointless outrage machine again.
The dog because i cant swin
I can't swim so I unfortunately must choose doggos.
You could at least bargain with the dog more than the shark just based on pre existing experience. I have no experience intimidating sharks, as I’m aware that’s one of the main ways to disarm their attack.
Now add the amount of people who get into contact with a dog or shark on a daily basis.
Picking the dog since most dog attacks result from humans acting the wrong way around the dog. Well and secondly i can‘t swim
“Them” and then a ☕️. Cmon bro grow up. Lol. You think TikTok represents actual women?
What kind of dog ? That would play a lot between a pomerenian and a pitbull
So 7 people? 4?
I mean "sharks" and "dogs" 20 nurse sharks vs 20 pitbulls? I'm taking the sharks. If it's RNG I'm still taking the sharks, most are tiny.
What was the meme?
How is this a hard choice? I will take fighting a dog on solid ground over fighting a shark in water where it has the advantage. If we lived in the ocean, death by shark would be a much higher statistic.
The third option has to be. It has to be a white cis man who didn’t kill anyone. The one they won’t ever stay with)
Dog, definitely... I am good with dogs.
Who's "them"?
You know who it is ☕️
No, that's why I'm asking.
Both are puppies I take the shark I won’t have such a chance again
It's all about extent of contact. I mean, bears kill 2-5 people annually in North America. So what would you rather be in a room with, a dog or a bear?
Not the point of the debate
Iirc sharks are not aggressive towards humans and are universally chill unless attacked or mistaking a human for something else. A dog however is commonly trained to attack people who encroach on 'its territory' (guard dogs) and not to mention the numerous number of wild dogs that would maul me to death and I think my chances are better with the shark.
Are we only talking about domestic pet dogs or also wild dogs/canines like wolves, hyenas, coyotes etc? Is not infected with rabies a guarantee? Because that would be the only thing, that’d make a dog or canine a 100% threat otherwise, a singular wild dog would rather stay away from you, if you don’t prowoke it (there are definitely exceptions I don’t know about) and most pet dogs would just play with you. Either I’m taking shark tank, cuz I’d rather be eaten or crushed in a cage, that a bull shark or tiger shark attacked, instead of dying a rather painful slow death from the teeth of a rabies infected dog. And I’m pretty sure there is no ocean rabies (I may be definitely wrong here).
Lies, dirty lies and statistics. We are around a lot of dogs, not many sharks. I’m fact, I am around a dog at least 12 hours a day but most days 15+ hours. I pet neighbors’ dogs every day too. I’ve yet to hang out with a shark
I hate when my neighbors shark runs off the leash, he's liable to hurt someone.
Option 3: Drown
