i dont know if you can hug a hexbear but you may.

Is that a challenge?

I'll hug literally anything remotely hug shaped...

Pretty sure its this guy and the bear was rescued as a cub. And it is one of the best channels on all of YouTube

So neither bravery or hubris just love. Well okay bravery too for sure, but mostly love.

Sadly I think Jimbo (the bear) is dead, but lived pretty long and well for a bear.

Either way, he's getting to hug a bear, so he's definitely winning at life.

In this economy? You get one free hug but after that I charge.

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You're not a bear, you're an owl... unless you're an owlbear!?

When everything hug shaped is charging for cuddles, you know the economy's screwed.

I'm kidding, hugs are free meow-hug

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's good... when things suck, people need more hugs, not less.

I might not be able to hug the bear, but if a cute owl is offering hugs... come here... meow-hug

peep the video I linked above. If this is the guy I think it is he is one of the coolest people alive.

[–] Rey_McSriff@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You call yourself an apex predator but look like this?

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If not for hugs, why hug shaped? If not cuddly, why made of fuzzy?
