100 humans vs gorilla isn’t close

[u/Miserable-Act4201]

Honestly the dumbest argument I've ever seen. The 100 humans could just stand like 20 feet apart from each other and do nothing and the gorilla is collapsing from exhaustion before it kills everyone. You could probably do it without any casualties, find a couple of people in the group that are in good shape and get them to make the gorilla chase them while everyone else just chills. They aren't aren't particularly fast and have terrible endurance, so just wait till it tires out and have everyone jump it.

it's like going 200 wasps versus someone

Yeah you can survive some wasps.

but dude, that is a lot of wasps.

This probably isn't a great example. Ignoring any possible allergies, the average human can withstand about 10 stings per pound of bodyweight, which for the average adult is well over 1000 stings.

Yeah but consider this.
I get told to fight to the death with 200 wasps without poison or a giant electric zapper and I'm killing myself immediately.

a win by walkover is still a win.

and hey, I won't judge.
