    That’s a tough one. The gorilla is big and easy to spot, but if he ever gets angry at you, you’re guaranteed dead. The snakes are harder to spot and numerous, but would be more predictable in their aggression as long as you don’t accidentally startle them.

    I think I would have to go with snakes. It’s much easier to snake proof a roof than it is to gorilla proof a room. As long as there are no holes, snakes will never get in. You would need a full on barricade to stop an angry gorilla. Plus depending on the stores available, you could probably kill the snakes with little risk using traps or poison.

    Neither are too bad honestly. The gorilla is not gonna hunt you or anything, you could just hide somewhere and wait the 24 hours out.

    The snakes would probably be even less of a threat as they would find somewhere warm to chill and not bother you that much.

      What if the gorilla gets angry at you? Short of finding a large gun, I don’t think there’s any way to stop him.

      You seem like you are exactly the kind of person that makes women want to take their chances with a bear.

        yeah, to make arguments happen between the genders because of the dumbass guys saying “I’m less violent than a bear lol” and dumbass women making a ham fisted point and saying “this is why guys just don’t get it, let’s generalise them some more”

          Would you believe there’s parts of the internet where women talk to other women and write things for women without thinking of the replyguys they’d have on other platforms?

          I get that people use it as ragebait but it’s not a ridiculous comparison, there’s a statistically higher chance that a man would hurt her. I’m a guy and just don’t think it’s something to be upset about.

          That said, it has nothing to do with the question in the OP.

            I forgot the third kind , the simp saying “hey those ragebaiting assholes are right , let’s fuck up the discourse with the hamfisted point that makes the situation worse”

              Since you’re not defining a 4th group, I take it you’re part of the first group of guys?

              You are the one who brought this up, by the way.

                No, the fourth group are the people that get the point being made, think it’s hamfisted, think that the guys overreacting are overreacting, and don’t simp for the stupid people stirring this shit up

                You are the one who brought this up, by the way.

                Yes, because
