This feels like a poor response to the "would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear" social profiler. "Yeah but that bear is fat, would you really want to be mauled by a fat bear instead of violated and gaslit by an aLpHa MaLe?!"

Chonky and fat are the same thing. Did they mean floofy?

When did those two words start meaning different things?

Will Imperial vs. Metric arguments never be settled?!

Ugh, don't bring that up again.

It's really simple: one chonky bear converts to 4 lynxes, which weigh 17 raccoons, which in turn weigh exactly 7 armadillos, that come down to 638 roaches.

Upwards conversion is just as easy: one chonky bear is exactly 1/3 of a Swasticar, which converts to 2/7 of a large boulder the size of a small boulder.

Just ask bears. I am sure they are all big-boned.
