This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Grappling a gorilla is such an unbelievably bad idea lmao, no matter the BJJ steez. You're right, things are fucking tanks, just flat out invulnerable to us hand-to-hand.

Haha listen bro there are no good ideas against a gorilla. I've seen some pretty amazing grappling feats where a much much smaller person can submit their opponents... I think you physically just cannot knock out a gorilla though their skulls are too thick. Humans are uniquely vulnerable to getting KOd so I don't think throwing punches or kicks is a valid strategy against a nonhuman

Yeah man we're pretty squishy! I'd imagine an adult gorilla has to consciously try not to hurt us in physical interactions of any kind lol, like me with my own kiddos. Fairly sure just pulling off a limb would be well within their capabilities. Guaranteed death sentence, and a brutal one, no question.
