What's the strategy?

I hope I draw the 99th straw. Otherwise, I’m probably dead.

Kick it in the nuts. I know this is cowardly but if you want to live it’s the best option.

100 yes if they are committed to winning and know that many will be seriously injured and likely die. But in reality you wouldn’t get a full commitment from 100 people. Many would talk a good game but bitch and run.

Can 100 silverback gorillas beat me at chess?

Give it a fricking banana

Stick your finger in his booty
And hope he likes it
And hope he likes it

He might do more than stick his finger in your booty

if all 100 spend time working on a strategy and practicing against a stunt gorilla it can work.
They need to be committed to winning over all else and really come together as a team.
relentlessly beat and kick and stomp and just withstand that ape fury, tire it out, choke it out, twist its nuts, whatever it takes
all in all humans may lose 15-20 brave men but will come out victorious

I spank a gorilla every night by myself.

You people are crazy. I bet 10 could do it under those conditions

You don’t really need TD for these questions anymore.

Simulating a scenario where 100 humans fight a single silverback gorilla bare-handed is highly speculative, as such an event is unlikely and unethical in reality. However, I can provide a reasoned analysis based on the physical capabilities, behavior, and dynamics of both humans and silverback gorillas, while acknowledging the hypothetical nature of the question.
### Key Factors:
1. **Silverback Gorilla Capabilities**:
- **Strength**: A silverback gorilla (male, 300–430 lbs) is immensely strong, capable of lifting over 1,000 lbs and delivering devastating blows. Its bite force is around 1,300 PSI, and its muscular structure is far superior to a human’s.
- **Speed and Agility**: Gorillas can charge at speeds up to 25 mph and are agile despite their size.
- **Durability**: Thick skin, dense bones, and a robust frame make gorillas resilient to blunt trauma.
- **Behavior**: Gorillas are not naturally aggressive but will fight ferociously to defend themselves. A silverback may charge, bite, or use its weight to overwhelm opponents.
- **Weaknesses**: Gorillas tire quickly in prolonged fights, and their eyes, throat, and groin are vulnerable to targeted attacks.
2. **Human Capabilities**:
- **Numbers Advantage**: 100 humans vastly outnumber the gorilla, allowing for coordinated attacks, distraction, and overwhelming force.
- **Intelligence and Coordination**: Humans can strategize, communicate, and adapt. Even without weapons, they could attempt to swarm, grapple, or target weak points.
- **Physical Limitations**: An average human (150–200 lbs) is far weaker than a gorilla. Unarmed, humans rely on punches, kicks, or grappling, which are unlikely to inflict significant damage against a gorilla’s durable hide.
- **Endurance**: Humans have better stamina than gorillas, potentially outlasting the gorilla in a prolonged struggle.
- **Vulnerability**: Humans are fragile compared to a gorilla, with thinner skin and weaker bones. A single blow or bite from a gorilla could incapacitate or kill.
3. **Scenario Dynamics**:
- **Environment**: Assuming an open, neutral space (e.g., a field), humans can surround the gorilla, but there’s no cover or weapons to leverage.
- **Morale and Fear**: A charging silverback is terrifying. Many humans may hesitate or flee, reducing effective numbers. However, group courage could counteract this.
- **Swarm Tactics**: Humans could attempt to overwhelm the gorilla by piling on, restraining its limbs, or targeting vulnerabilities (e.g., eyes, throat). Success depends on coordination and willingness to sustain heavy casualties.
### Simulation Outcome:
- **Initial Clash**: The gorilla charges, likely killing or incapacitating several humans with powerful strikes, bites, or throws. Its roar and display of dominance may scatter less resolute attackers, but the sheer number of humans prevents escape.
- **Human Response**: If the humans are determined and coordinated, they swarm the gorilla. Some distract it from the front while others attempt to climb onto its back or restrain its arms. A few may target its eyes or throat, though landing effective blows is difficult due to the gorilla’s thrashing and thick hide.
- **Casualties**: The gorilla inflicts severe damage, potentially killing or disabling 10–30 humans in the first few minutes, depending on how tightly the group engages. Humans landing punches or kicks have minimal impact, but sustained grappling could slow the gorilla.
- **Turning Point**: The gorilla’s stamina wanes after 2–5 minutes of intense fighting. If humans maintain pressure—piling on, choking, or blinding the gorilla—they could eventually overpower it. However, if the group lacks cohesion or morale breaks, the gorilla could continue to dominate.
- **End Result**: With 100 humans, the numerical advantage is overwhelming. Even accounting for significant losses (20–40 humans killed or incapacitated), the remaining humans could exhaust and subdue the gorilla through sheer weight and persistence. The gorilla is unlikely to survive prolonged grappling and targeted attacks to its vulnerabilities.
### Final Answer:
The 100 humans would likely defeat the silverback gorilla bare-handed, but at a high cost. Approximately 20–40 humans could be killed or severely injured due to the gorilla’s immense strength and ferocity. Success depends on the humans’ ability to coordinate, maintain morale, and exploit the gorilla’s stamina limitations and vulnerable points.

People seriously underestimate humans a lot.
I saw street interviews where grown men were saying they couldn’t beat a dog in a fight to the death.
I’d get fricked up and probably never be the same but I’d kill a fricking dog lol.
I’ve broken up dog fights before and absolutely SENT those frickers.
“Oh but what about an angry Pyrenees”
Ok dude what about a fricking 225 lb navy seal lol.
Yes we’d kill a gorilla. We would beat it to death with sticks and rocks. Someone would gauge its eyes outs. It’d be blind.
I mean like 6 primitive dudes used to kill mammoths.
