its the other way round for bears i think

Bear without penguins and bear with penguins? I'm no bearologist but I don't think that's right.

[–] Ooops@feddit.org 4 points 5 days ago

But the bear referenced there is not the animal but the constellation...

Arctic = towards the bear, so north

Antarctic = the opposite (=ant[i]) direction

So for bears Arctic means land with penguins

There aren't many bears on Lemmy, though, so we don't need to use their terminology.
