Why in the hell would someone think this, or even think this is something people should discuss? This is the type of crap that led to our current predicament.
Unless you hand pick every single people tailored for the task... if 100 people, unarmed, stuck in a room they would absolutely get wrecked by an adult size gorilla.
a silverback gorilla is not as lethal on the 50th kill as on the 1st. Honestly I doubt a dozen people would be killed before the gorilla is simply too exhausted to continue fighting.
i mean why are they attacking the gorilla in the first place? the question precludes normal psychologies for all involved so i'm just assuming the question is asking "are 100 human men capable of killing a gorilla if they're all 100% dedicated to the task?"
They literally have less than 1/5 of our stamina, humans evolved for stamina, for exhaustion hunting, we are terrible at fighting but we can keep being active for hours, other animals can't, humans and dogs/wolves are the best animals when stamina is the matter
I hate things like this. Stupid men will next beat a poor gorilla. It is tragic and disgusting human behavior, but we have someone who proclaims to be a leader enabling the jerks of the world.
If you want a true “test” of “masculinity,” how about learning to use a ratchet strap. I just spent half an hour un-fucking two that were improperly threaded. It’s beer-thirty. ‘Merica!
The biggest dog gets shredded by a pack of coyotes, moose by wolves, so on.
Fuck this weird type of discourse, but 100 to 1 is deliberately ridiculously out of scale to bait this kind of response from us both. No matter the environment or specimens chosen, 100 to 1 is *that* bad. 20 to 1, maybe?
A silverback gorilla's arm span can measure 8ft. They can weigh 300-500 lbs. They're abt 10x stronger than humans. They can lift & throw objects weighg 1,800+ lbs. Their raw strength, allows them to perform feats of strength that humans can't match. With a bite force of 1300 PSI.
So they win!
For God's sake leave the gorillas alone! Turn those human fools loose in a jungle without any resources and see who does well and survives the longest...the gorillas or them.
What people do for generating attention these days...don't know what Tim Berners-Lee says about this but if he had known what would become of the Internet (and we all know that it was primarily for cat vids and porn) he might have folded it before even doing the first concept of the WWW.
After the first 5-10 of them that had arms ripped out of their sockets, massive chunks bitten out of them, and just generally *wrecked* in front of the others, the rest would vanish in every possible direction whilst shitting themselves the whole way
Let me say I'd be more than happy to let all those gents who think the men would win to step into the ring and put this to the test, but pretty sure no gorilla would be willing to partake in such asininity and none need to be subjectly unwillingly, so I suspect the debate will rage on...
Why would anyone even want to imagine the outcome of such a horrific event? I can’t think of anything more vile apart from maybe fox hunting or bull baiting/fighting☹️😡
Realistically though, you could only get around ten guys next to the gorilla at the same time and it would make easy work of them. It would climb all over them too. Suggest we send the proud boys though to try it out
Lol. Whoever came up with this is either being funny or honestly know little about animals
100 men couldn't beat a Gorilla, or a Chimp or a Capuchin monkey.
Lol.
How about a reality where the best people for any given field/job are the ones in charge of that field/job...regardless as to gender or sex? Do you really want Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge of anything? How about JK Rowling or Ann Coulter? No demographic is bereft of horrible people.
Because men are taught from boyhood that much of our value lies in our physical strength. It's then reinforced by everything from pundits, to movies, and more. It is the equivalent to women being taught from girlhood that their value lies in being pretty. It's a toxic morass of pointless tradition.
I’d like to see a gorilla against 100 Pete Hegseths. Gratuitous megalomaniacal fun. All hundred Hegseths would think that they could take the gorilla on their own.
“Conservationists” sometime auction the ability to hunt rhinos that are old and the proceeds go to conservation efforts. The mental gymnastics are absurd, but it leads me to think we might be seeing gorilla fights soon.
100 men beating 1 gorilla is where we are at @janegoodallcan.bsky.social Majority population doesn't have ratified rights/privileges but forced birthing era. Doctrine of Discovery wasn't enough to destroy habitat & exploit resources for these people
lol, u beat me by 7 minutes. A “man” would know better than to try to engage w a gorilla regardless of how many other men helped him. It’s stupid. Strongman Brian Shaw is ~350#, now imagine him 10 times stronger. Instead of benching 500, he benches mid size cars, and deadlifts 10,000#….
When I was a boy my dad, who was a big man, was charged by a baboon. He hit it with all his might with a 2x4. The baboon rolled twice, got up, shook itself, and charged again. I can only imagine that a 100 unarmed men could subdue a gorilla. FYI I grew up on a road side zoo.
an orangutan can rip a mans are clean off their body... a gorilla which can run 40 miles an hour and bite hard enough to crush bones would take seconds to fatally injure a single human. humans wouldn't stand a chance without weapons even if they all jump a gorilla at once. no contest
I heard this on the big SF sports radio station the other day, it was actually pretty funny. My money is on the gorilla but I do like your idea of maybe some of these ultra manly maga men giving it a shot. I'd pay to see the carnage.
Honestly this sparked a super interesting debate in our house. I personally think it presupposes too many factors to be a simple yes or no answer. Are the men given prep time, okay with some of them dying, in complete control of fight/flight/freeze? Is the gorilla used to people, hungry, etc?
It says beat not kill, so what’s the definition of beat in this instance? Incapacitating? Subdues? Escapes?
I personally don’t think 100 men could do it without substantial losses and I doubt they could decide who those losses should be without infighting. They’d lose before they begun.
A primate expert weighed on that simulation and said if the humans communicated and coordinated to attack in waves so that they could rest and keep attacking, the gorilla, who is powerful, but lacks stamina, would lose. So if it depends on humans collaborating, my money is on the gorilla.
Not only do I not have an opinion about who would win; I can't think of anything less interesting than a bunch of d-bags trying to prove t themselves by attacking Peaceful creature who wants nothing more than to be left alone to eat bananas and make sweet, sweet monkey love to another gorilla.
Oh let’s go! I nominate Pete Hegseth, Steven Miller, the tate brothers, Hulk Hogan, kid rock, Joe Rogan, Dana White, Vince McMahon, Matt Gaetz, Don Jr, Eric, Jared Kushner, Mike Flynn, Alex Jones, Jim Jordan, Dan Crenshaw, Markwayne Mullin, JD Vance, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Common MAGA!!
I didnt think I'd use these words in this context, but, now I understand.
I got up from our table at dinner this evening for just a minute, and came back to 8 nerds hotly debating this topic. I was very confused as to why my wargamers and fantasy people were discussing fighting gorillas.
It separates the grown-ups from the children. More than 15 seconds spent thinking about considering this -- you're on the child spectrum. Where you are depends on how much longer you think about it, and if you ARGUE about it, you're eternally in junior high school).
I once saw about 30 people try to beat up two Nazis (ahh the late 80s) at least two other fights broke out because people had struck or stumbled on somebody else while they were both trying to get to the Nazis.
This is dangerous talk. The white male energy is now thinking they need to overpower a truly powerful animal. You know how many people are going to start fighting with animals now. You know how many animals, women and children are going to be 'overpowered'. LOTS. We are a sick species.
With no weapons? That gorilla would simply get more pissed off. Hitting that solid muscle mass with an untrained human fist? They'd be lucky to not break their own bones.
Who comes up with this stupid shit? Let's surmise what would happen if the strongest, perhaps most gentle and private, and ENDANGERED primate on earth were attacked by 100 men? 99 men. I'm siding with that fucking gorilla every time.
Are the men trained in combat against gorillas? Otherwise it's gonna be "a few men vs 1 gorilla while a bunch of men stay as far away as they can" over and over.
I think the only one weak Point in a Situation of a Gorilla which would help against him would be when the Gorilla has a really good Day and is just too amused about the Situation. Then maybe some of them have a Chance to Survive.
Or he just gets bored after, let's say, No. 39.
If they are unarmed MAGA men, the gorilla could be asleep and twitch, and most of them would piss themselves and run. Why do you think they are so obsessed with always being armed? They’re craven cowards terrified of their own shadows. Hypotheticals about fighting animals helps them cope with it. 🫣
My favorite part of this discourse is the picture of the sad looking gorilla sitting on a bench with a newspaper captioned, “currently wondering why 100 people want to attack me.”
One man could air beat off 100 gorillas and that man, the myth (I wish) the urban legend because calling him a legend would be a lie: Donald jerking off tRump.

I'd pay any price 😁 to watch that $$$$$
*nobody’s gonna be first...
A fully grown male Silverback Gorilla is 8-10x stronger than an average man.
Fuck this weird type of discourse, but 100 to 1 is deliberately ridiculously out of scale to bait this kind of response from us both. No matter the environment or specimens chosen, 100 to 1 is *that* bad. 20 to 1, maybe?
It's a similar comparison.
Humans are the threat we are because of technology and weapons.
So they win!

Lol.
Sigh. Yah. You’re absolutely right
Yeah. A man did that.
Oh, how I dream of a reality where women are in charge.
So, can a gorilla beat 5-8 men at once.
Me? There’s not a whole lot I wouldn’t do to avoid fighting a gorilla…
Why the fuck would you want to hit an innocent Ape?!

Bait, traps?...oh my!
This is where we are.
Bring on the mass extinction - we deserve no less.
Absolute carnage lol.

I always put 100% of the blame on RW Propaganda -OANN ,Fox Newsmax etc for all our divisions, DJT etc..
But maybe it's us?
Q: Could these 100 bros beat the Gorilla in a math test ?
