    It doesn’t say fist fight it says fight. An mg42 some ammo a and a bit of distance are going to win against almost any animal hence the whole multiple extinction events directly caused by predation by humanity.

      It’s right there on the top of the graph.

      “Which of the following animals, if any, do you think you could beat in a fight if you were unarmed?”

        It would be difficult to fight anything without arms. I guess you could just do roundhouse kicks but arms would be much more useful.

          Thats why the brits have an advantage, all that.soccer helps their kick attacks.

          Americans obviously overrate themselves by what ever percent they think they can beat an elephant, bear, or gorrila.

          Correct, my whole point is it’s vague enough to take advantage of so it’s not actually indicative of much aside from malicious compliance.

              “if you were unarmed”

              I’m unarmed, the fellas i hire may not be but that isn’t the question.

                  This isn’t the playground, I’m not sure your point. Ask an inane questions I’m going to give you absurdist but logical answers.

                  That said, I haven’t met a single person who has said that who doesn’t themselves seem insufferable.

        Gotta play the grey. I could beat them in a fight by hiring a mercenary or team of mercenaries.

        I’m still unarmed, I could even be involved in the fight and still not be armed and win the fight.

        Similarly the definition of unarmed varies wildly by culture and language so first let’s define unarmed and then we can decide how and where to play the language of the question.

        Yeah that doesn’t say I can’t hire someone who is not does it say I can’t get 30000 unarmed dudes to help. It’s vague so why not play the game I’m fairly sure that’s likely why the answers look so weird.

        They lost the emu war was lost because of incompetence. They had a machine gun they didn’t know how to use which jammed and they couldnt figure out how to clear it and then they just gave up until the next incompetent attempt.
