How about an adolescent kangaroo?

None, I would think how bad I felt if I hurt the cute furry friend, then tried to pet them instead and get mauled.

No idea, a capybara maybe?

Bro those things are fucking huge

And they do fight, albeit rarely.

What's just a little smaller than a goose? I do know my limitations.

As a man who has witnessed Duck Raping Season, best avoided.

I would seriously consider some of the larger animals discussed here, if necessary, in self defense.

But not a goose. A goose comes at me, and I'm going to flee. Those suckers mean business.

Anything larger than a small insect already freaks me out, so I'm going to pass on this challenge :)

A kangaroo would fking shred you. And while you're trying to hold your intestines in it'll then beat the snot out.

A really, really, really sick elephant, so far gone that it cannot move anyway

By mass or dimensional extent? If the latter, Japanese Spider Crab (12ft wide). If the former, a large dairy cow (2400lbs).

A fat orange cat 🐈❤️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Cat bites can have some dangerous bacteria at least, considering how much damage the more lazy of my cats can do if you try to force him to take a pill, I don't think I'd really want to fight one that actually was fighting for all it's worth

How about an adolescent kangaroo?

I reckon a full grown kangaroo. Not that I think I'm stronger (or that it wouldn't fuck me up), but in a fight to the death I think I could outsmart it and outmaneouver it.

I do not think this is close to a 100% certainty though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Those fuckers can move.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ya I think you could get behind it and maybe do a headlock. Maybe?

Do my hands have to stay bare?

Like, if there's a stick around, can I pick up the stick? If there are rocks around, can I throw some rocks?

On land?

A seal or penguin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They're both pretty slippery though.
