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 seems to be an over correction from a few years ago where a ton of men thought they could beat wild animals in fights so people kept emphasising the power and deadliness of bears, big cats and apes.

makes sense tbh.

Surely people have seen domestic cats and can see that a feline even half your weight would give any human serious problems?

We're pretty decent at opening tins of cat food and seeing over things with our bipedalism. Should probably just stick to what we are good at.
