This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

the Tyrannosaurus rex measured up to 43 feet long, stood about 12 to 13 feet tall at the hip, and weighed roughly 4 to 9 metric tons. Its skull alone could weigh up to 600 pounds, and it had a bite force estimated at 35,000 to 57,000 newtons.

BUT!

our intelligence

I could take it in a fight.

Now imagine the animal is exhausted, injured, hasn't eaten for a month and is asleep, and you're in for a 500 million USD reward. IDK that I'd take the chance, but it seems possible if you're relatively fit and knowledgable about hunting.

I said a straight fight. Meaning just body fighting against body plus a short knife. There's tons of other ways to kill an animal. Poison collected from plants or other animals, starvation, dehydration, traps, pits, fashioning arrows, spears, causing infections, and on and on

Convo about what animals we could fight in a 1 v 1 fight came up, and a buddy chimed in with some solid piece of wisdom on the matter:

"If you think you're gonna lose, then you're gonna lose. Thinking you can win doesn't guarantee a win, but its impossible to win if you don't think you can."
