They aren’t rings, but layers. There were likely many more cracks that filled and created other layers that later broke apart and eroded to form this rock.
Explain how the bear is statistically safer; you would need to factor in not just total incidences, but total interactions, otherwise it’s a sharpshooter fallacy.
The average woman likely has tens of thousands of hours with strange men and no incident, and it would be extremely surprising that the bear stats would be better than that.
I wouldn’t be surprised that even if you only selected men convicted of violence on women, the bears would still be statistically more dangerous (or it would at least be a somewhat close comparison).
This is getting into the weeds a bit though and not really in the spirit of the original question.
How many thousands of men have you interacted with and yet are still alive? Are you seriously suggesting you could interact with thousands of bears and have the same success rate? You’re manipulating the numbers in a very dishonest way.
Nobody is scared of vending machines even though they kill more people than sharks, not because sharks are safer, but because almost nobody interacts with a shark but almost everyone has many safe interactions with a vending machine.
This ignores exposure time though which is a huge factor, and makes the comparison disingenuous.
This got me more than the comic itself
Sort of? There is state-sanctioned violence that’s not criminal (self-defence for e.g.), and plenty of state violence that is (excessive force, war crimes, etc)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is used as an insult, but doesn't really feel like one?

I think I know exactly where it’s depicting; the Tombstone range viewpoint on the Dempster highway in the Yukon.
