So 100 men think they can take on a gorilla…​

Men really do overestimate their strength. This time, that means thinking that they can take on a gorilla. Literally why would anyone think they can take on a gorilla? What next, 1,000 men try a hippo?

One user on X posed a simple thought: If 100 men were dedicated to the cause, they could take on 1 gorilla. Now, the post did not say if these men were armed or what the situation was but for the sake of conversation, let’s say 100 men with no weapons. Just the willpower to take on a gorilla with their bare hands. Frankly, I think that gorilla would take them out without a second thought but the prompt has given us a pretty funny new meme.

One silverback gorilla is rumored to have the strength of 9 men and can literally rip a crocodile in two. But sure, 100 regular dudes can take on a gorilla.

There are, of course, men who do think that they can succeed in this situation. Which has made the jokes that much funnier. It is a gorilla. In what world do you think a gorilla cannot take a group of men out? Have you seen one!?

What I do like about the jokes is that there are some self-aware men in this world who do understand that they would be picked off one by one. Even if they’re hiding in the bushes trying to keep everyone updated on how the gorilla vs. 100 men fight is going.

Whether you think any number of men can take on a gorilla bare handed (they most definitely cannot), I do think it is fun that so much of the internet has instantly taken the side of the gorilla in this fight.

So, if you want to be 1 of the 100, be my guest. But I will happily bask in the knowledge that given the chance, a gorilla could easily take out 100 men. No questions asked.

The instant you introduce a sharp stick, not even a full blown spear, just a sharp stick the size of a knife, all it takes is 2 men to 1v1 the gorilla, one to distract it and one to stab it in the neck.

If you introduce actual spears into the equation its not even a contest.

Just go all the way. Everyone gets a full auto M16 and 12 spare 30 round mags. Monke fucking dead. Pink mist actually.

Apes will always lose. Case in point, the extremely accurate movie, Congo:

Apes are so fucking dumb, they will legit jump into lava out of confusion. Even some homo ape with a gay Siri voice bodies these jungle apes.

Didn't an onlyfans prostitute take on 100 gorillas just a few months ago?

Me and a friend were talking about the largest animal you could kill in one 'Move' and he concluded that it was a goat as he could grab it by the horns, rotate his body and hammertoss it into a brick wall so hard it dies.

This is my favorite thread today. I am crying laughing. This is why men are lovely. Carry on everyone.

Didnt a Minneapolis police officer take on a single gorilla just a few years ago?

Would a woman be safer alone in the woods with a bear or a gorilla

 

[Toothp!ck]

women are the killjoy of gender.

 

[draggs]

average male mountain gorilla weight is about 300 pounds
average male eastern gorilla weight is about 350 pounds

average US male weight is about 200 pounds

100x200 = 20,000
1x300 = 300
1x350 = 350

so yeah the gorilla would lose badly. idk if the gorilla would even kill 1 human unless it got a blow to the head in on the initial rush. within a couple seconds at most the gorilla would be knocked off its feet and very soon after that the gorilla would be a red smear on the ground

If one hundred children fall into a gorilla enclosure, do they still shoot him or is it not a threat at that point

Aren’t gorillas sensitive to noise? If all the children start simultaneously screaming in terror, maybe the gorilla will become confused and retreat to a hiding place, thus allowing zoo personnel to safely tranquilize it and recover the children.

A little over 20 years ago, Fox presented an incredible piece of Television known as "Man vs. Beast".

Can a Japanese man eat more hot dogs than a All-American bear? Can a man outrun a giraffe? And if he could, would he be able to outrun a Zebra?
Can an orangutan beat a Sumo wrestler in Tug-o-war?


But I'll always remember it for this;

It's extremely telling that a not-insignificant number of people interpret this hypothetical as "100 guys bumrush the gorilla blindly". Which to be clear 100 guys absolutely have the strength to do, but it's extremely telling how many people's calculations totally exclude the usage of tools, coordination or advanced tactics that humans have employed for longer than written history. It's like the breakfast question. Show me someone that immediately works the problem as a raw strength calculation with no other alternatives and I'll show you somebody with a chirping ceiling that's behind on their rent.

100 dudes one at a time? Gorilla merks for free, not even a contest.

100 dudes all "SPARTA! HOOAH!" against one fucking Donkey Kong? We're having gorilla tonight, boys!
Yes, even if it's 100 white guys with Comic Book Guy body shapes. 100 unarmed men could take down any one animal in this or any world.

Anything Lilly Phillips can do....

1 wizard can take on 100 gorillas.

Only if he is full on mana though, otherwise it's gonna be bad.

Ok.....now I admit I had not considered 100 Warwick Davies vs 1 Gorilla.

In this hypothetical we factoring in far less strength, weight, endurance, speed, and manoeuvrability given his disgusting midge mutation and the fact that the gorilla could hypothetically use individual warwicks as bowling balls against the rest

 

[National Defense Advocate]

Yea, I reckon 100 men could kill a gorilla.
Probably gonna be some casualties but they could do it.

 

[Breadbassket]

100 men fighting a gorilla all at once would result in a win for the group of humans but there would be a fair amount of injuries and assuming of course the men aren't armed with even the most bare minimum of weapons (such as spears) or they flee when the gorilla inevitably punches someone really hard.

 

[Otterly]

Holy shit, you're right. I hadn't really thought about it, but my boy is constantly asking me "who would win?". Allosaurus versus spinosauraus, tyrannosaurus versus carnotaurus, indominus rex versus velociraptor. It gets a bit exhausting after a while!

I love it when they pick two completely different animals like the tiger and the shark and then go about listing the multiple accommodations that would be needed to allow fair and balanced competition:
On land? Well you’d need some kind of compensatory harness or perhaps we could suspend both from a tree like piñata to even it up?
In the sea, well the tiger’s going to need gills and MUUUUUUM can tigers see underwater or do they need goggles? (They seem to see fine son, here’s a picture of a swimming tiger)

We get the dinosaurs too. Ok but how would a spinosaurus fight a plesiosaur?
It’s a lot of fun. It must hit something really deep in the boy psyche (how do I take down this aurochs and impress Helga?)

So this is where we're at with journalism? Dumb space battle type shit? Here's my contribution.

Men in general have hunted. Now if the 100 men in question are soyboys, then I give the Gorilla a fair chance. Also, Gorillas really aren't aggressive or as violent as the media portrays them as. They're quite silly. That said, I wouldn't recommend enraging a gorilla.
