This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

All ya doubters sound like Joe Rogan on a chimp rant right now. Gorilla glazers....

Please do it anon and make sure you film this great achievement.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago

just jump over the fence into the zoo enclosure with him, and you'll probably get your chance

The gorilla will use his insides as an Onahole when he's finished with him.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

What's gorilla gonna do? Bite him?

[–] DigitalNeighbor@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think he's on to something... In these times of political and economical uncertainty, we should bring back ancient Rome colosseum style games. Modern fighters taking on wild animals for glory. Give the masses something to get excited about.

Let the man get himself dismembered by a gorilla as part of a bigger event with deadly races and feats of human strength.

Sounds like an average minimum wage jog tbh.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Damn. I coulda gotten paid to run.

Here I am doing it for free like a chump.

[–] BlanketGuy@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago

I say let him. We really don't need people like this anyway.

Gorrillas weigh between 219 and 600 lbs

According to Guiness World Records they can lift 1800 lbs.

They have an arm span of over 8 ft.

Feel free to try it but spend some time putting your estate on order, first.

they can lift 1800 lbs.

For a real-world comparison, ever try to move someone that's passed out? That's probably in the ballpark of 200lbs.

Now imagine lifting six people at once.

Current world records for a deadlift top out just shy of 1200 lbs.

Feel free to try it but spend some time putting your estate on order, first.

OP is definitely going to need a beefy insurance policy, a last will, and a pre-ordered coffin. Maybe they get ahead of the game and just give someone full power of attorney the day before. Assuming they stay in one piece, it's possible that they could survive, but they're going to need a new skeleton and a few vital organs to pull that off.

Assuming Anon has an estate to put in order... smh my head.

Look, Jim-Bob needs to know whether he's getting the contents of that trailer or not.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget the bite force. Monkeys bite.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 8 points 2 weeks ago

An orangutan could grab a man by his feet and head and tear him in half, honestly i kind of doubt that the biggest most well trained man could even take on a chimpanzee and win without a weapon.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's good to set realistic goals to motivate your workout.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 19 points 2 weeks ago

Why bother fight a gorilla. Just cut the forest down and polute his environment. Steal his children put them in a zoo. Cut off his hands then and turn them into ash trays. We have already dominated the natural world now we are working on dominating future generations.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 32 points 2 weeks ago

Mike Tyson was going to fight a gorilla in his prime. The zoo keepers denied his request. While he can punch a hole in a human's chest, that gorilla was going to rip his arms off with absolutely no effort.

If I had a gun in each hand, a bandolier full of knives, and a satchel full of grenades, I might be able to take down a gorilla. But likely not before he kills me first.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like you need a bigger gun for each hand.

.500 Smith and Wesson in each hand aught to do it.

Just make sure you land the first shot center mass, cause by the third you’re gonna be shooting at planes.

You will no longer have wrists, of course, but that is a small price to pay for victory.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I have actually shot a .480 ruger. I think I’ll pass on the .500. The gorilla won’t need to do anything because I will have already offed myself trying to shoot those things one handed.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just turned to my husband to ask are there really men out there who think they can really fight a goddamn gorilla??? Is it a joke? Have they SEEN a gorilla??? A chimp gonna kick your ass and they're smaller than an adult man wtf!

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Id personally be more scared of the chimp. The gorilla is mostly a peaceful animal.
