    No one is saying that you’re just chucking a Gorilla and a Human/group of humans into a ring.

    if the human/humans know that they will be fighting a Gorilla then they can fashion weapons and strategies.

    A single human could easily kill a gorilla if they could choose the time and place of the engagement.

    It’s how we became the dominant species on the planet

      The premise is and has always been 100 unarmed humans (I think men, specifically).

      That is exactly what everyone has been saying the whole time. 100 unarmed humans in a ring with 1 gorilla.

        I’ve not heard unarmed being specified. but that’s not how humans fight.

        You could start unarmed and then improvise a weapon

          Right, I don’t know how you missed it, it’s been unarmed the whole time. It’s built into the premise of the original viral post.

          It’s a hypothetical. What you’re saying right now doesn’t matter. The hypothetical premise has always been “unarmed”. Look it up lol.

          Edit: i looked it up and cannot find the “original hypothetical premise” I claimed existed, so, fuck me.

          That being said… yeah. One man with a weapon bodies a gorilla. People are so fucking stupid.
