This made me think of that time my partner's brother told me in complete earnest that he'd be able to jump off a skateboard going 20+ mph and run it out based solely off the fact that the fastest recorded human running speed is 28 mph and therefore he, an average fit 20 y.o. should be able to achieve 75% of that.

That would be how to do it. Humans have pretty good endurance as far as animals go. And gorrilas have pretty terrible punching technique and waste a lot of energy on those shitty downward over head swings that are pretty telegraphed.

My money will still be on the gorilla though unless you ad a few more people

Your best chance to kill a gorilla in a fight is probably to move so much air around him that he catches a f*cking cold and dies from it. If you don't actually touch him you may even have a non-0 survival chance as he ignores you.

if it wasn't so unethical towards the animals, i would love to let those people go for it.

Could only improve the human gene pool.

I wanna be a gorilla field researcher. They're cool. I saw a video where a wildlife photographer was following a gorilla too close, and you're like, "that animal is fuck this guy up", right? Nah. The gorilla punches him in the face and keeps walking.

I'd fight a gorilla, and win.

It would be a gun fight, from a distance, but a fight none-the-less, and I guarantee you, I know how to shoot better than a gorilla.

I've seen a chimp with an AK.

I wouldn't want to fight a gorilla with a PKM.

Pshhh, those idiots gave that chimp the ak and then stood right there making a scene of it, the chimp happened to decide to pull on the trigger and the gun started firing off randomly. None of them got shot either. That gorilla is fucked.

Chimps chimp out, they're chumps.

Gorillas are more deliberate.

The gorilla will rip his arms off and beat him to death with them before he even attempts to dodge it.

Sure, like a baby gorilla that has just been born and has been removed from the mother.

Google how much force do I have to give to the dome of a gorilla in punching to give him a debilitating concussion?

I got dunk and decide I could beat a brick wall in a fist fight once.

And then you were introduced to the term boxer's fracture...

Nah I had good friends with me.
