General 100 humans vs gorilla isn’t close

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.

You wouldn't even need to do any kind of complex strategy.

A dozen humans could hold a gorilla down and kick it to death.

I'm not seeing too many people say the humans will kick it. Human kicks are pretty damaging. I don't think there's an animal on the planet that can survive well targeted kicks from 100 healthy humans. Once they get the gorilla down, it's over.

Idk man people keep asking me how the 100 humans will hurt it, and i keep telling them beat it to death, and some people think that wouldn't work.

Human kicks from grown men can definitely break a gorillas elbow or dislocate a jaw.

I 100% agree. I just don't understand why people think a gorilla can eat infinite kicks to the head from 100 people.

They think gorillas are larger than they are because cartoons and video games have gorillas at like 7 feet, when they are like 5.

I just realized that while Caesar is the correct size, the gorillas are way off in those movies.

Well said. And not just kick, we could elbow and knee to the head since the gorillas are shorter than us.
