        It’s the Mandela effect; People remember it as the Bearenstein Bears, but it’s Bearenstain and it doesn’t feel right. I want to go back to my 'verse

          Occam’s razor suggests that it can’t possibly be the fact that -stein is a much more common name ending and since it’s children’s media most people will have last read the name while still a child and likely never realize that it was specifically a, therefore misremembering the name assuming it was an e. look how long it even took me to type. convoluted, complex theory.

          rather the answer must be the simplest: a break in the spacetime continuum.

    Fuck it, I’m gonna say it: the Predator’s laser targeting system doesn’t do damage. That comes from the shoulder-mounted cannon.

    My childhood best friend would make parody versions of these books in elementary school by tracing the pictures and modifying them. Pretty amusing how violent and sarcastic a child’s imagination can get.

    This is AI trying to figure out who the old fucks are. I remember watching these bears in black and white TV. You had to wait a few seconds for the vacuum tubes to heat up. If you didn’t like it you could clack clack the top knob to one of 13 different channels.

      I was jealous of fancy city folks with their 13 channels all showing essentially the same thing. I only had 3 channels essentially showing the same thing.

        Same here, I forgot about that. That’s right, you can go to channel, 2, 6, 12. Everything else was static…which you could watch if you want to.

          Yes. The thirteen positions on the dial seemed to be the product of rampant optimism.

          But I imagine some lucky city kid had several additional watching options.

            Wasn’t there a third knob for more channels? I remember having an old green screen that had a double knob on it for that. I don’t remember the number of channels possible though.

    FYI the Predator only fights opponents who are strong and honorable to fight. So with that being said what is the body count of the Berenstain Bears?

    Title doesn’t really fit the pattern of the real books; too many words/syllables. “… Get Hunted” or “… meet The Predator” would be more plausible titles.

    Boy, whatever the mom and kids are looking at must be pretty bad if it has their attention more than a Predator!
