    What would you even do, to make it exhausted? In the wild, gorillas are not afraid of people. They just sit there looking at you, until you get on their nerves. There’s nothing you or a hundred people could do to tire it out, if it simply chooses not to move.

      Tell me you’ve never had a small child pester the fuck out of you without telling me you’re not an uncle…

      The gorilla is fucked six ways from Sunday no matter what it wants.

        I’m a father, with plenty of experience around small children. What’s exhausting, is the effort you put into not losing your patience when they’re being annoying. If I didn’t give a shit what happened to them, I wouldn’t have lost a minute’s worth of sleep.

          Even if there’s 100 of them smacking you in the face constantly? I’ma’ hit X to doubt on that one… Just think of how annoying a fly is. 100 of anything that’s barely under half your weight pestering you is going to be impossible to ignore. Period.

            Like I said, if I wasn’t concerned about hurting them…then there wouldn’t be 100 of them for very long. It wouldn’t take a lot of effort to mow through them, as soon as they got within reach. It’s not like they pose much threat to a full-grown adult. The worst that you’d get are some scratches.

            It would be no different for a gorilla against people. We don’t stand a chance. We’re just physically incapable of doing much damage, without weapons.

              Oh no, 100 kids actually trying to kill you could do serious damage. Adult males with an understanding of anatomy could do even more damage to a gorilla. You’re simply imagining a much, MUCH greater difference than actually exists.
