1·9 months agoI don’t use YouTube and you’re taking a theoretical exercise very seriously. The reason people debate this question is because there is no definitive right answer.
Maybe take a couple deep breaths and calm down.
Well of course, but the scenario is a 100 unarmed men, not one Todd. That scenario would just be ridiculous.
Well Muffin is adorable anyway!
Last time this made the rounds I asked ChatGPT the question.
Tap for spoiler
In a realistic, unarmed, hand-to-hand fight, 100 average human men would almost certainly lose to a fully grown adult male silverback gorilla — unless they approached it with extreme coordination, strategy, and sacrifice.
Here’s why:
🦍 Gorilla Advantages: Strength: A silverback gorilla is 4 to 9 times stronger than a trained adult male human. It can lift over 1,800 lbs (800+ kg) in some cases. Speed & Reflexes: Gorillas are incredibly fast and agile for their size. They can run up to 20–25 mph (32–40 km/h) in short bursts. Toughness: Their bones are denser, their muscles thicker, and they can absorb more trauma than a human. Killing Power: They can crush limbs, rip faces, and bite with over 1,300 psi of jaw force — enough to crush a coconut or break bone. 👨 Human Limitations: Average Men: Most people are not trained fighters, and many would hesitate or flee. Unarmed: No tools, no weapons, no armor. That means no ranged attacks or serious damage dealers. Space Constraint: In a tight area, humans can’t swarm effectively. The gorilla could focus on one or two at a time. Could They Possibly Win? Technically, yes — in theory — if they:
Coordinated as a team with some willing to sacrifice themselves (i.e., get mauled or killed to restrain the gorilla). Dog-piled it, using sheer weight and numbers to pin it down. Targeted eyes, throat, joints in a sustained assault. Even then, it would result in dozens of human deaths or severe maimings. A rampaging gorilla could instantly incapacitate multiple men with swipes and throws before they even got close.
Verdict: 99.9% of the time, the gorilla wins, unless the 100 men are highly trained, brave, and coordinated. Even then, the casualty rate would be catastrophic. So, unless this is a highly tactical team of Spartans or martial artists, the gorilla reigns supreme.
Haha! I’m convinced pets give you that look on purpose.
Interesting. I saw the fabric and wondered.
My mom had several pet rabbits over the years and they (at least hers) would pick a single spot. I wondered if chinchillas were the same.
Do chinchillas designate a specific spot as their bathroom and consistently go there?
21·9 months agoI wouldn’t recommend against people watching it, but I would caution them because it’s a big time commitment for the ending you get.
Isn’t it interesting in how “officer discretion” disappears in instances like these?
6·9 months agoOn a large scale I have no idea but it does for me when I’m driving.
A crosswalk at an intersection, especially an unmetered one, serves as a warning that there’s enough regular pedestrian traffic or a risk that dictated it was needed.
Helps me, personally, to be extra aware for crossers.

In the 45-second video posted later that day, one girl enters the classroom holding a cellphone. “Put your hands up,” she says, while a classmate flickers the lights on and off. As the camera pans across the classroom, several girls dramatically fall back on a desk or the floor and lie motionless, pretending they were killed.
When another student enters and surveys the bodies on the ground in poorly feigned shock, few manage to suppress their giggles. Throughout the video, which ProPublica obtained, a line of text reads: “To be continued……”
Talk about an overreaction.
When I was a kid in the 90s I used to run around our neighborhood with other kids playing “War”. I had a realistic looking cap gun western revolver made out of pot metal, much like this one.
We never had police called on us or even got stopped by them on the rare occasion they were cruising through.

Von der Leyen and Trump strike EU-US trade deal with 15% tariff for the bloc
12·9 months agoMany of us are in the habit of mentally calculating it wherever we live though.
For example, my state sales tax is 6.88%, my county has a .25% tax on top of that, and then there’s a metro area tax of 1% on top of that, my city does not impose a separate tax of their own, so total sales tax in my city is 8.13%.
When shopping we’ll do the mental math (roughly) and factor that in so it might say $39.99 + tax but I know that it’ll be a little under $44 with tax.
It’s inconvenient but, like most things, we get used to it and adapt. Also, while tax varies a lot by state, most of us don’t venture too far out of our home area so tax is roughly the same all the places we regularly go.
It would be nice to have the price listed as the price you pay but it doesn’t work as well with our current system.
8·9 months agoThank you for sharing! I love this so much and am jealous of the setup!
9·9 months ago10 episodes per year for 5 years. It’s part of their $1.5B Paramount deal.
Yep. They paid 1.5 billion for the privilege.
I saw this same story from another source in a different post (https://archive.is/sZYDO).
There’s one specific paragraph in that article that is not covered in this one:
New York City has begun a crackdown on e-bikes and scooters riders. It follows actions by city officials from Paris to Honolulu to Hoboken, N.J., who are responding to residents angry about zippy vehicles with silent electric motors zooming down sidewalks and streets, often startling people, and occasionally hitting pedestrians.
Holy shit! Look at the apparel website.
It’s like toxic masculinity and bigotry opened a design firm.
