Has anyone of you seen this viral topic lately?

Yes, there are actually people out there that honesty feel the men would win. 😆

I would love to see such a thing, as I believe there would be enough fools to attempt this.

But what say you GAF? Who would win and why?

Just something to think about when we're not thinking about the Roman empire. 🤔

1 gorilla probably, unless it gets tired halfway through; it's not like that many people can attack at once without getting in the way of each other.
 
going with 1 mario and 99 minis

1 gorilla and he would win flawlessly.

I have a hard time believing a man can even punch hard enough for the gorilla to feel it (except maybe square in the face but good luck with that).

it's kind of a weird abstraction to begin with... everyone is imagining it happening in this featureless world

Humans and gorillas both have environments. If you're taking the Gorilla's natural environment, that's a forest; if the human's, that's a developed place. In either scenario, there are things at hand to be used as tools. To create this scenario as some kind of battle in a featureless plain doesn't make sense for measuring either creature's abilities.

And given just about any environment -- take the dense forest or the human world -- the men will win, because of the massive gap in intelligence. There are countless heavy rocks, tree limbs to be wielded like spikes or as battering rams with 4 men to a side, etc. Just coaxing the ape to chase out onto a limb them making it collapse to let him fall 50 feet may happen before long.
 
Men would win with weapons. Without weapons they just wouldn't be strong enough before the gorilla killed them all. I would imagine the psychological damage of watching a gorilla rip someone's arm or leg off and use it as a club would shake morale a bit...
 
100 men. First, get all 100 men to yell. That will cause the gorilla to run away. Hell, the noise of 100 men alone would probably be enough. Now, the men just follow it. It dies of exhaustion. Look up persistence hunting. Endurance is the one thing humans have over other animals. We could and have walked for days. Other animals can't do that.
 
Hand to hand, gorilla is cracking 100 skulls. They crack coconuts with a flick of a wrist. Absolutely zero effort.

And they're lighting quick with freight train force when they go apeshit.

Gorilla takes this easily. Our terrain or theirs.
Unless we have weapons we aren't winning.

Have a geez how far sled dogs (huskies) can maintain for days on end.
Let me know when you catch up.

Yes, they're trained but I'd be willing to be other similar dogs and/or wolves could do pretty well too.

100 men get a couple of dudes to focus on the eyes, once they are out let the gorilla tire itself out then the remainder can beat up on the blind gorilla, grim but doable. Alternatively you can have the top 3 strongest in the group focus on choking out the gorilla while the gorilla is distracted with the rest.

100 men would win but it wouldn't be pretty and a lot would be dead or maimed. The Gorilla would tire and even if he's swinging two around at once there's still 98 other people to kick his jaw until it breaks, crush his fingers etc.

If the 100 were entirely unafraid of death or damage. The men for sure but the losses would significant.

100 men, just the sheer size of the crowd would crumple even a gorilla if they attack all at the same time.

They'd be all hitting each other in a mass panic 🤣

Nobody wants to be the first to have their limbs taken off, face bitten off, balls ripped off, etc.

Mass panic will ensue.
 
100 men would win. Even in the wilderness there are sticks that could be used. In a desert you could use sand to blind it.

Humans greatest feature is using their brain and switching it up to gain the advantage.

That gorilla picking up boulders and taking out humans in bunches 🤣

They too use tools, switch tactics, and have lightning speed with freight train force.
 
People seem to forget that once the Gorilla goes into fight for survival mode, it's adrenaline and savage nature would kick in and it would literally goe apeshit, the closest humans would be torn/bit/ripped to pieces, the phycological impact of that would put the absolute fear of god into the remaining men and every last fucking one of them would go into flight mode, those things are all muscle and teeth, you would need Roman Gladiatorial levels of coercion to make the men fight to the death

"You're all going to die." Is not very morale boosting.

It took a small village of militia fire to take down Travis the chimp who went crazy and he still almost reached some officers.

100 random men off the street, no weapons, hell you'd have to sacrifice the fatties first and get them to try and hold the gorilla down but even then, it'd be an almighty task to co-ordinate what every guy should be doing to give the most damage/survive.
 
Gorillas aren't monster movie creatures. They die of common ailments in the wild. 30 people pile on it and 20 go for snapping its ankles. You'd still have 50 more to swap in and do the same to it's wrists. Why would you go at it one at a time letting it maul everyone until it's your turn?

100 hunter garthers would definitely win. 100 retards from modern day would get slaughtered.
 
Its a stupid argument because the Gorilla voters will ban the humans from doing any of the obvious human things they would do to win easily with zero casualties.

The thesis is based on hand-to-hand with this question.

Obviously one man with a high powered rifle at 300 yards can Harambe a gorilla.
 
I hate how easy the answer to this is for how much debate it gets, but neither poll option allows the explanation

If you teleported 100 average men in front of a silverback gorilla, he's going to have zero issue breaking 200 arms and maybe as many ribs, ripping through bamboo and vegetation all day

However, give the men even in a jungle 3 days of prep time for traps and simple force multiplying weapons like spears and bows, the men win almost always, because that's how men have always won everything, planning and team work
 
A Gorila is not a magical creature that can fight for hours like some kind of movie super hero.

A Gorila vs 100 men strength wise is the same as a very big and strong man vs 100 very angry 5 year olds. The gorila is going to get overhelmed fast

It would take less than a few seconds for the gorilla to disable one man or a man to disable one 5 year old, * 100, not hours

And with bare hands there's not much damage the last few men are going to do once it's tiring down anyways

But add planning and simple weapons? Men take it easily. So this all depends on the setup of the fight. Like, teleport 100 random men into a ring with an angry Silverback? They're going to die. Allow some planning? They probably take it even with simple tools they could make in a forest.

100 is a huge amount even unarmed.

In a realistic scenario, it'll be a draw with neither side wanting to attack or the 100 man wins cause even a Silverback Gorilla would retreat from seeing that many people.

Now if the Gorilla is angry and bloodlusted than it's only fair to make all the man angry and bloodlust too. In this case the 100 man wins but with a lot of casualties although they could be able to get the job done with losing less 50/half of the 100 man team.
 
I can't even see how this is a debate, but then again, what is the definition of a win here? If the condition is that at least 1 human or the 1 gorilla surviving determines the winner, then I'm having trouble figuring out how anyone could think a gorilla could possibly win this. Gorillas are frighteningly strrong, but this isn't King Kong. Even if each human cowered and barely put up a fight, the gorilla would be gassed by the time its death toll hit double digits.

If you're willing to throw the idea of minimizing human casualties out the window, that's like 7-10 tons of people. They could just dogpile and crush/suffocate it. There are a lot of variables that determine how it would play out, but I'm having trouble finding any sort of scenario (outside of some bizarre condition, like the humans are all babies) where the gorilla stands a chance.

Yep the only chance the Gorilla has is if this scenario is making the Gorilla anger and bloodlust while making the 100 guys some of the most cowardly, selfish, and weak guys out there. But in any other scenario it's going to be the humans winning either by the gorilla trying to retreat, both sides being bloodlusted and angry or forcing the humans to fight or they die in some sick gameshow.
