Death by ~~a thousand~~ 30-60 cuts.

Wait till trex is asleep. Quick 1-2 stab, then run abck to your hut.

Repeat as necessary.

If you can go for the eyes, it can be alot easier later on

Won't it starve in a month?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Good question. Many modern day reptiles can go a long time without food. But a t rex is many orders of magnitude bigger than anything we have now. I did do a zoology major at uni, but my physiology knowledge sucks (unsurprising given I barely passed it).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Theropods were warm blooded, like birds. They would not be able to endure without eating for weeks and months at a time like modern cold blooded reptiles.

I get a roof over my head and food... For free!?

The T-rex will probably die eventually from starvation... Which means I could lose my roof and free food. Biggest challenge will be trying to keep the T-rex alive...

It's very telling that some people have had worse roommates than a T. Rex lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or just wait for the T. rex to be on its deathbed, then kill it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

Alternative option: No one said how much or what type of food, and T-Rex are thought to have been scavengers. Spend a month splitting your meal. Tame it. Make friends with it. Teach it to love. Then kill it.

I don't think he would last long with our current oxygen levels, there is a reason why such giant creatures don't exist anymore.

On top of that like comments said if we just waited out he would starve to dead, even if we were not provided food.

*Edit

Well looks like I was wrong, thx for clarifying that out.

Really though the reason for big animals not being as prevelant anymore was really the oxygen levels Idk where I got that from.

But then it is really weird how the evolution meta didn't evolve back to the huge beasts we see on books, someone said in the comments that it was due to the mammals success, if so it puts things really into perspective.

The largest animal we have known to ever live is alive right now, the blue whale.

In this particular case, it does. Whales are air breathing mammals.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

Yes, but they spend most of their lives under water, only coming up briefly to breathe. Being under several atmospheres of pressure changes your air requirements.

Whether those requirements go up or down, I'm not sure.

Rub the blade into fecal matter, wait till she nods off and then stab deeply before quickly returning to the hut. Repeat a few times.

Now just wait for the sepsis to kick in and collect the prize.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Whose fecal matter? I need your response ASAP

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Additionally, poop in it's food (if it has any). E. Coli poisoning may help.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's a human weakness, most animals eat poop for breakfast

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Some humans, too!

Like golf legend Shooter McGavin!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just sit in the hut and enjoy my food while the dinosaur is starving outside.

Sounds okay to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Humana last weeks without food, you think you're going to starvea 7 ton, cold blooded carrion eater to death in a mere month?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

7 ton seems pretty big and I think they were warm-blooded, I recon they'll start starving before I run out of food. They may not be dead by day 30 but on those final nights of starving unconciousness you could probably stick it with the knife. Large birds of prey may only eat once per day but they still starve within a couple of days, and the bigger they are, the hungrier they get.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Alligators and crocodiles can go months without eating. If needed, apparently, even 2 years. I wouldn't count on a dinosaur being weak with hunger in a few weeks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you're telling me I get free accommodation, free food, and it's protected by a T-rex?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Landlords hate this simple trick!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Will the T-Rex be provided food? Because I could just wait it out. But if it's provided food I'd just make sure it swallows the hunting knife with its meal and in theory it should cause some gastrointestinal leakage...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It probably sucks down sharp bones no problem. But then, nobody really has any idea. It could play the ukulele for all we know.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

If it can play the ukulele, it’s already won.

After 15 minutes of hearing its tiny arms try to play a song I’d ask to be eaten.
