In 2022, sanity is relative. With two years of a pandemic behind us and a looming conflict in eastern Europe, to say things have been consistently tense is an understatement.
But out of that tension has come some truly beautiful—and completely unhinged—internet content.
For example, this video, which is better viewed before any explanation:

"???" is the only explanation that accompanies this video, where a man does core-leg rotations over another man's head while a bear shakes the tree they are using in the background. The second man then punches the first in the gut over and over again.
Nobody really knows how to react.

No other information appears to have surfaced about this video, so people are left watching it without any clues on the who, the what, the where, the how and perhaps most perplexingly, the "why."

With over 28 million views and over 500,000 interactions, at some point someone could have turned up with information about this clip.
But nobody has.

The right to arm bears...— Teslon (@Teslon) 1646447410
Despite having absolutely no idea what's happening, it provided a great deal of entertainment to the internet.
Though, we find ourselves worried about the two men.
Hopefully they did not become bear food.
