So, my brother told me that at the end of the movie Snowpiercer, the protagonists find they can leave the train safely without freezing instantly, and the first thing they see is a living polar bear.

My brother's gripe? "Great, you're out, but what are you going to eat?"

There's... a fucking live polar bear. There could be more nearby. Where is the polar bear getting _its_ food.

See the fucking forest for the trees, man.

Him: "Great, you're out, what are you going to eat?"

Me: "...there's a polar bear."

Him: "So you're just going to kill the first polar bear you see?"

Me: "No! There might be more nearby?"

Him: "And what? You're going to start breeding polar bears?"

Me: "I mean, not at first? I'm just saying that little controlled hunting would keep them going for a bit!"

@Jo iirc eating polar bears is a bad idea because they have parasites or sth

@noiob Even after a good cooking?

@Jo idk I just heard that some polar expedition failed because of that

@noiob I looked at Wikipedia:

"...the meat is edible, despite some risk of trichinosis;"

And apparently that spreads through undercooked meat, so as long as it's well-cooked, the risk is probably minimised.

Plus it's either that or starvation.

@Jo I mean they're gonna have some stuff left on the train, and also the movie's a metaphor

@noiob @Jo also the polar bear is totes gonna eat them first
