What percentage of people will deliberately choose the most ridiculous option in a survey to mess with the survey people though?
What’s weird is that I would have guessed way higher than 8%
I suspect the 8% is only before the lion jumps over the fence 😂 once it charges you it’s 0% across the board https://youtu.be/T0kzdu_wTM0 https://youtu.be/U-WdLv8Es6g
Fistfight, sure, maybe. But what about a claw-and-fang fight?
I was gonna say, lions don’t have fists. Checkmate.
Lion would just have to stand there and take it, or the ref would dq him. EZ win.
Don’t they? My housecat has been known to curl his insanely large paws up into fists when he hits people. I’ve tried to teach him the ways of peace, but he is a cat, and also it is sort of funny when someone comes to me and says “um, so your cat just punched me”
Well, I stand corrected
When you bring fists to a claw and fangs fight.
The fraction is probably higher. But only because Lions are absolutely abysmal boxers.
I think the reason is that very few people have ever run into a lion in the wild. I think one encounter would probably change the a lot of people’s mind in that regard. Considering what a pitbull can do to a human being, imagine what 750 lbs of pure muscle and teeth will do?
Sure, if the lion fights lion-style we stand little chance barehanded.
I agree 😵
Seeing one in a zoo was enough for me.
Mom had mountain lions rescued as cubs. When I was 20-something, and much more badass than now 😅, I decided to fight Tasha on the living room floor.
That 90lb., declawed girl opened a 55-gallon drum of whoop ass on me. I’d tell you about, but I didn’t see it. All I got was a tawny blur and I was on my back getting my hat forcibly removed, along with a healthy hank of long hair. (She hated men’s hats, no one ever found out why. Not men. Just men’s hats on a man’s head.)
I no longer have any illusions about fighting a rabid 'possum.
Naw, dudes be hyping themselves up. Acting like they can take Tyson in his prime and shit. Because it’s gay to know your limits or something.
In a fist fight of course, lions don’t have fists, but good luck telling them the rules
Exactly. That mother fucker would be disqualified immediately… but you’d be dead.
We sure can! A lion does not have any fists, he can’t legally attack me!
True but then again, lions don’t care that much about rules
So they’d be disqualified and I’d win
Concrats and good luck telling people that!
Lions don’t have fists, checkmate.
yeah it’ll be an easy win by disqualification
If an animal was trying to kill me, I wouldn’t mess with anything larger than a chicken. Even then their feet knives have a good chance of sending me to the emergency room.
I can take a dead fish on land, max.
I saw a lion at the local zoo a few years ago. I made the mistake of looking at his eyes. He got mad and slammed against the glass. I’m confident I could not win in a fight against a lion.
About 6 years ago I took one of my kids to the zoo and we were at the lion enclosure, all the lions just chilling and right as we started walking away one of them stood up and roared. Holy fuck are they loud, like a concert speaker just as loud and could feel it on my insides. My son absolutely shit himself and just laid down on the ground crying.
Why is percent written out as 2 words? It’s infuriating…
Apparently both are correct, but writing as 2 separate words is more common if you’re British or Canadian than if you’re from the US.
I know I see “per cent” in lots of old books.
Well I’ll be damned. Good to know, thanks for the info.
AP style for publishing has different rules for all sorts of things, but headlines get even more specialized rules.
Let them try. Would make amazing TV.
how old/mature is the lion? I think I could take a 2-month old cub bare knuckle. An adult? No I cannot win a fistfight with a 500 pound cat.
You are in the 92%
Are they scoring by boxing rules? I don’t think a lion would fight by the rules.
