dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

this debate would be a lot more fun after 2 beers. pretend i'm sitting next to two empty pint glasses here

I don't think the comparison to a child is that bad. The muscle strength estimate is incomparable too, the general estimate for how much a Silverback can bench is 1800lbs. They're THAT fucking strong. The average bench for a man is like 160-210lbs.

fuckin train me a gorilla that can bench press a motorcycle and prove it then

I'm surprised no zoos have put a rudimentary pulldown machine in with them. Eventually a gorilla's gonna use the pulldown mechanism and you'd get an idea of what they can pull from that. Can't find video though.

There's a few videos of them climbing and flipping their body around like it's nothing though, and that's 450lbs of weight they just carry and flip around from branch to branch on a single arm like nothing. https://youtu.be/JaZ6-2X406k
