The bear shitting in the woods rhetorical question has an obvious answer which is "yes." It's merely a way of answering another obvious question more humorously than simply saying "Yes, obviously, duh."

One is answering someone's question with a metaphor. The other is a bear shitting in the woods.

Well, for starters, one is a metaphor and one isn't.

Amazing that we're having to explain this simple concept to an adult

You're going to confuse Costello with that answer.

Am I the only one who interprets that phrase as not so much as a question, but it meaning "of course, it's in its nature"? Cats and dogs refers to a hard rain. I don't see where there's all that much of a disconnect between those two.

You dumb shite. You have me agreeing with Grim. And that's saying something.

Phrase Does a bear shite in the woods?
(colloquial, rhetorical question, mildly vulgar)
A rhetorical question in response to a question where the answer is an emphatic yes.
Straight from Wiki.

Enh, sometimes people have a lacuna in their knowledge. That's not the big deal. The problem is their insistence they are correct despite nobody agreeing with them.

Let's just make it simple and say that if you turn it into a question, and the answer is yes, it's not a metaphor. If the answer is no, it's a metaphor.
So let's say you're drowning in a sea of embarrassment right now.
Now ask, "is the sea made of embarrassment?" No, so metaphor.
Now lets say you're a bear shitting in the woods right now.
"Does a bear shite in the woods?" Yes, not a metaphor.

Well, I know for a fact that I'm not the only one. Here's Tyrion Lannister says:

Why does a bear shite in the woods? Because it is his nature. Lying comes as easily as breathing to a man like Littlefinger. You ought to know that, you of all people.

Here's my fav. quote from him:

Wow. You have an IQ of a bag of Doritos. What grade did you drop out of? You're clearly way too stupid to do anything besides manual labor, and simple manual labor like ditch digging at that. You're too stupid to understand a simple metaphor. Please for all of our sakes, please don't have kids.
