"reflexes similar to my speed"

Haha this is a classic French copypasta which is 20 years old and has just been translated by anon.

It is even cited in the French "copypasta" Wikipedia article in the examples section: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copypasta

TL;DR: French and fake and gay

I got dunk and decide I could beat a brick wall in a fist fight once.

Wouldn't it be a "bear naked choke"?

Gorillas' bones and muscles are way beyond anything this guy could ever experience in his 7 years of fighting idiots. I say idiots because they fight for money and fame, not for survival as a gorilla would. Jesus, their butt probably has more muscle mass than this guy's whole body. BTW, no homo.

[–] ZMoney@lemmy.world 120 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I recently saw a gorilla skull. Note how small the brain is and how much extra bone there is to protect it. Punching this would hurt you more than the gorilla.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 73 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That was essentially what I was going to comment.

You punch a skull like that, you're breaking knuckles. It happens vs other humans as it is, no way do you punch a gorilla in the face and do even the same amount of damage your hand takes. You're sure as hell not knocking it out.

As entertainment, the idea is awesome, because I can imagine this relatively small guy squaring up against a silverback, all confident and executing the footwork perfectly, throwing a right hook just as hard as he can, and then there's a spray of blood from his hand, followed by the gorilla turning him into steak tartare in a minute or less.

Has dude never been to a zoo that has gorillas? Back in my prime, I would have been a heavyweight, and I feel like a damn twig next to a gorilla, no matter how much height I have on one. And I've never been that close to one. Seeing them twelve feet away was intimidating as hell.

They're fearsome in a fight, but even more admirably, they don't take themselves that seriously

Worth it to watch even for the first couple minutes to hear the sound

You see those fin-like bones that rise up from the skull? All of that is filled with the muscle that closes the jaw - technically the purpose of these bones is for the muscle to attach to. One bite will slice and crush anything of you that is in his mouth.

Oh, and humans lack a type of fast-twitch muscle fibre that gorillas (and pretty much all non-human mammals) have. This makes their muscles a lot more powerful than ours, no matter what training you do. They will tire faster, but thats probably only during the stomp-on-your-bloody-remains part of the fight.

Oh, and their reaction speed is also faster.

Basically, you have zero chance going mano a mano with a gorilla.

No way someone who trains mma and boxing would say "just dodge his attacks". This aint anime bro you're going to get hit

[–] rothaine@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you train hard enough, you get observation haki. Haven't you ever seen that famous documentary "The Matrix"?

Google how much force do I have to give to the dome of a gorilla in punching to give him a debilitating concussion?

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I wanna be a gorilla field researcher. They're cool. I saw a video where a wildlife photographer was following a gorilla too close, and you're like, "that animal is fuck this guy up", right? Nah. The gorilla punches him in the face and keeps walking.

Gorilla proceeds to pull his arms and legs off his body, and slap him a bit with his own arms before returning to breakfast.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 77 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Imagine a toddler who thinks they can beat up you, a grown adult because it learned some karate. That's how threatening you are to a gorilla.

I have this theory that with proper technique, you can beat anything you can lift in a fight. That being said, Gorillas are too heavy to lift. Conversely, you'll likely have extreme difficulty fighting anything that's too heavy for you to lift. Anything with natural weapons, like sharp teeth, this rule of thumb likely also doesn't apply to. Anything larger than a cat should be considered dangerous by default.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

I can lift a fully-grown horse above my head, and I can hold my breath for ten minutes.

To settle a wager, I once ate a pound of P.B. Fouke's strongest badger poison and then ran a mile in the nude. I cannot feel pain, and I can see for two miles unaided by a lens. No man can kill me. I have beaten a man of every race in formal combat, including a Turk, a Pygmy Negro Man and a rare Deepwater Jew.

A medical doctor and two priests have written and signed a document confirming that I have no soul.

Even cats will fuck you up if they really intend to.

Sure, like a baby gorilla that has just been born and has been removed from the mother.
