Internet Debate: 100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla

[Megatron96]

In the natural world, say in the jungle or mountains/woods, the gorilla would just escape. No group of men are going to chase down a gorilla over broken/rough terrains.

I think the idea for this 'game,' is that for some reason the gorilla and the men are going to fight to the death; there's no escape/make friends option. They're fighting until one side is dead.

I'm guessing the idea is basically gladiator-style in the Coliseum, for example.



And someone else mentioned it would make a difference depending on what kind of men and gorilla we're talking about. And i completely agree. I think obviously it would have to be a full-grown in-its-prime silverback, 500+ lbs. strength of 10+ men kind of gorilla. And can't forget that gorilla's bite, with an average bite strength of over 1,300 psi. that's 8-9 times that of a human, and 3 times more than an African Lion, nearly 4 times the pressure needed to crush a coconut, or a human skull.

And the men would be . . . that could get more interesting. The 'average' man has the strength of a baby gorilla (at best), and nearly every animal on the planet has a stronger bite. The men would have to actually beat the gorilla to death using just hands/feet.



100 NFL LBs from the 1970s? I might take the men.




100 of the "Greatest Generation? in their primes? The men.




100 men of the current generation just randomly picked from American HS/colleges fresh off their last game of HALO or whatever? I'm taking the gorilla.




100 NBA players from this year's rosters? Gorilla.


And so on

100 professional soccer players? The first one would get hit and the other 99 would all fling themselves to the ground and roll around in pretend agony.

lol, yeah, which is the same reason the gorilla would beat the NBA players. 20-30 of them would flop to the ground and play dead before they got anywhere near the gorilla. Another 30-40 of them would spend the whole time trying to find a ref to plead with until the gorilla grabbed them and ripped their arms/legs off. Would probably still be crying about the officiating while being torn apart, lol.

Gorilla is going to choke himself to death out of frustration….waiting for them to get ready and set up their phones for insta pics.

I personally think the sheer number of humans would overpower the gorilla and people are both 1. Underestimating how many people 100 is, and 2. Overestimating the strength and stamina of a gorilla.

Verdict: 100 men win fairly comfortably with the caveat that there will be some casualties.

What say you? 100 men or 1 gorilla?

Maybe people are overestimating the stamina, but in terms of strength, they're pretty damn powerful.

Agreed. I wouldn't give 20 men a chance. It would take the gorilla about three seconds per man to turn them into pudding. You have to have enough men being turned into pudding to exhaust the gorilla.

Seems like it would be a piece of cake for the 100 men, as long as you could determine which ~30 of the men are willing to die while tiring the gorilla out...

[Rain Man]

And while we're here, I'll note that 100 men would not stand a chance against a gorilla-sized ermine. The cleaning staff would be mopping blood off of the ceiling afterwards.

Weird how life comes around. I took this class in zoo school and I'm glad to share knowledge. I don't think you need a 100. 25 would do and each of them would have a specific task around one goal. The balls or asshole. Nail those 2 down and you have yourself a conquered silver back.

Is one of the men Chuck Norris?

[Vladimir_Kyrilytch]

This is an estupido debate for Rarrtards that failed out of preschool. This is not a debate. The 100 men? 4 Men would do it.

Now if you want an interesting hypothetical to discuss and debate, pick something reasonable. A touch more intellectually challenging.
