I'm way more confident in my ability to take a goose than a cat. Geese are mean and can hurt, but push come to shove I could tank that with adrenaline.

Cats will claw your eyes out.

I'm always more concerned by the 30% of humans that don't think they could take a rat more than the delusional people myself.

They might be assuming you get weapons or whatever, but 30% of people don't even have to self confidence to just flop around on the ground for a bit.

Why do 5-10% of Americans think they can beat a Gorilla Lion Elephant or Grizzly Bear? Note beat in a fight as in engage successfully in combat. What do they think you are even going to do vs the Grizzly or elephant again?

Also chimps should be way further down on that list. You'd have a better chance against the wolf.

I'm good down to Eagle, and then it's straight losses.

Eagles can be huge, fly and have fuckin razor sharp meat hooks for fingers.

Hand to hand? Up to and including a large dog. Only one animal at a time, mind you. And the dog would likely tear me up good.

Armed with whatever I can get at home? Maybe up to crocodile depending on the range.

For anything else, I’m going to need to buy larger guns, or try to kill the animals with a vehicle. Depends on which vehicle and which animal. Not that I would willingly hurt anything on the list.

(The post said fight, it didn’t say “unarmed”)

It did in fact exactly say “unarmed”, assuming the image is accurate.

How do people think they can defeat a goose? They're one of the meanest animals on the planet. They're up there with wolverines and opossums.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

It's easy. Grab the neck behind the head, spin, and throw. The goose figures out not to attack the 150+ pound ape after that. Not all the apes though, just the one that threw the thing.

Common and Virginia possums are timid and will hiss or faint if they're confronted and can't run away.

What kind of possum is mean?

Geese are mean and scary, but that doesn't make them deadly. Unless they get a super lucky shot on a major artery they can't kill you. You might end up with some deep scratches but I don't think a goose could even break anything more than your hand. If it's a fight to the death at the end of the day you can just run at the goose and tackle it, sacrificing your face and legs and arms to some really bad scratches.

Now we know why life expectancy is lower in the US…

I'm gonna go ahead and claim defeat over the possible fight with anything. Hell I lost a fight with hair curlers once.

One of those big white ducks with the red gullet things once trapped my son and I in a bathroom at a zoo. We were heading there anyway and my son stopped to look at it, then it start following us a little too fast so we booked it. We did our business and I forgot about the duck until I open the door and it tried charging in. I ended up throwing a roll of toilet paper behind him and while he was distracted we snuck by.

All in all 9/10 zoo day. My son still talks about the time I outsmarted a duck.
