Now, I know what you're all thinking of when looking at the thread title, has the OP had a drink or done some no-no snow..but this has been floating around on my social feeds, so I guess I ask the question to you all. Who would win in a fight? 100 people or one Silverback Gorilla. The caveat is that no weapons are allowed.
The reality is there would be no fight. 100 average humans would definitely be stupid enough to try to fight a gorilla ... ... the gorilla, on the other hand, isn't that stupid and would leg it up the nearest tree
I would say free for all, but the humour side of me wants it to be a royal rumble type thing when one person enters after another
It's incredible that the human brain can come up with concepts as brilliant as language, electricity and the internet and also use those inventions to come up with a concept as dumb as "100 people v Gorilla". The answer is Gorilla wins. Once it rips the face off the first human, the rest **** themselves inside out.
Even if that’s the case, nobody comes close to the strength of a gorilla, not even 99 people all at once, I am firmly team gorilla
It would depend on whether they knew the victim, and if they liked him, or they just thought, 'Dick, he totally deserved that'.
Are you absolutely positive ... please log in to view this image ... if it was a baby I'd have no hesitation in kicking the shyte out of it
100 modern humans with no tools or plan would struggle against a Gorilla. On the other hand, any sane Gorilla would think twice about fighting 100 of anything. Ultimately, it'll go down to stamina. How easily could a Gorilla windmill, crush strangle and batter 100 humans? Would it be blowing out its arse after 20?
We’ve got instant tools now that can spit out answers to questions like this in a couple of seconds… but it’s nowhere near as fun as actually thinking it through. Chat GPT Answer Alright — let's break it down realistically: --- First, gorilla stats: Weight: 180–200 kg (400–440 lbs) Strength: 4–10x an elite human (closer to 8–10x by many estimates) Bite force: ~1,300 PSI Sprint speed: ~20–25 mph (faster than the average human for short bursts) Combat style: grappling, slamming, biting — not finesse, just overwhelming brutality. --- Human stats (unarmed, average): Weight: say 75–80 kg (165–175 lbs) per person Coordination: terrible unless trained Willpower: most would panic or hesitate against a charging gorilla Damage output: basically negligible unless in huge numbers --- Scenario estimate: A gorilla can easily kill or incapacitate a human with one strike or bite. In a few seconds, it could kill 1–3 people (e.g., slamming one into the ground, tearing another's limb, biting a third). Humans would hesitate or back away at first — fear factor is massive. If brave ones tried rushing it, the gorilla could continue taking down 1–2 people every few seconds for the first 20–30 seconds before fatigue slightly slows it. Early phase (first 30 seconds): Gorilla incapacitates 20–30 humans easily. Remaining humans are now terrified, disorganised. Middle phase (next minute): Gorilla starts slowing a little — still strong, but less explosive. Might take 5–10 seconds per kill now. Another 10–15 humans taken out. Late phase: Maybe some humans try dogpiling — but the gorilla can shake off, bite, or smash most of them unless everyone at once risks their life. Even pinned, its strength could break free unless pinned by many humans at once (e.g., 20+ hanging on, smothering it). --- Summary estimate: Total incapacitations before being overwhelmed: around 40–60 humans. Casualties: most of the first 40–60 humans would likely die or be critically injured. Remaining survivors (if coordinated and lucky): around 40–60 humans, barely managing to overwhelm it by sheer weight and fatigue. --- Bottom line: In most versions of the fight, the gorilla wins brutally, unless humans act like soldiers — and even then, expect 50+ dead or maimed.
Could a human even do damage with a punch, aren’t their skulls incredibly thick? And how many of thr 100 can actually throw a punch, are we talking boxers or Joe bloggs
