They're right about the goose. Do not fuck with.

I'm way more confident in my ability to take a goose than a cat. Geese are mean and can hurt, but push come to shove I could tank that with adrenaline.

Cats will claw your eyes out.

I'm always more concerned by the 30% of humans that don't think they could take a rat more than the delusional people myself.

They might be assuming you get weapons or whatever, but 30% of people don't even have to self confidence to just flop around on the ground for a bit.

Why do 5-10% of Americans think they can beat a Gorilla Lion Elephant or Grizzly Bear? Note beat in a fight as in engage successfully in combat. What do they think you are even going to do vs the Grizzly or elephant again?

Also chimps should be way further down on that list. You'd have a better chance against the wolf.

I'm good down to Eagle, and then it's straight losses.

Eagles can be huge, fly and have fuckin razor sharp meat hooks for fingers.

Hand to hand? Up to and including a large dog. Only one animal at a time, mind you. And the dog would likely tear me up good.

Armed with whatever I can get at home? Maybe up to crocodile depending on the range.

For anything else, I’m going to need to buy larger guns, or try to kill the animals with a vehicle. Depends on which vehicle and which animal. Not that I would willingly hurt anything on the list.

(The post said fight, it didn’t say β€œunarmed”)

It did in fact exactly say β€œunarmed”, assuming the image is accurate.

Well, I've been attacked by big dogs, and either "won", or ran them off, without needing stitches. So that's all I'm confident about

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

the dogs you have to worry about is the ones that are known to bite or aggresive.

I mean I've been thinking about how to fight geese for a long long time now. I've got grudges.
