Humans used to hunt mammoths, and these fuckers don't even have a thick layer of fur armor. We used to hunt mammoths, because we were so fucking good at it we killed every last one of them.

I'm using my knife and making an atlatl, some spears smeared in shit, and I'm going hunting. Every time this bastard goes to sleep, he's getting a spear with a side of gangrene lodged in him. Fucker's missed out on 60 million years of techtree development, and has no reply to ranged strikes.

    It's always funny when people overestimate their own ability to fight an animal.

    Yeah bro i could fight a gorilla.

    I don't think i could, honestly, but spears and shit from the hut would be my best guess. Or wait until it sleeps and ram it through the eye with full force and run like a motherfucker. In movies they often spear big animals and they live for a long time and cause havoc, i would assume a spear through the brain isn't good no matter the size.

    The real problem is we dont know what a live T-Rex looks like. It could have fur or feathers, it could have wings or wild talons on its hands. What are the odds their arms are as useless as we think they are for real?

    I don't care if is has feathers, or long grabby arms, I'm waiting for it to fall asleep, and chucking a spear at it, and running, every single time until it dies of bloodloss, gangrene, or exhaustion.

    Does the T Rex even understand what I did? Ranged attacks didn't exist for 65 million years after it went extinct, does something that evolved to hunt slow, armored herbivores have any response to ranged hit and runs? The many species of megafauna humans hunted to extinction before the invention of writing suggests no.

    Do not leave the hut. Eat like an animal and throw your shit from the hut at the T-Rex's face. Hopefully it will get sick and perish on it's own from explosive T-Rex diarrhea.

    T-Rex were believed to be fast for their size, but they couldn't take sharp turns.

    That T-Rex is missing its feathers

    Scenario didn't say you had to stay in the hut, or that you couldn't leave the the arena, or that others couldn't do the fighting for you with other weapons.

    I'll just show up with a flu.

    Wait can a T-Rex go an entire month without food? Are they feeding the thing while I am in there?

    I would wait and hide, allowing the T-Rex to tire itself out. Then one night, when the T-Rex was especially tired and soundly asleep, I would carefully climb into the T-Rex’s cloaca. There I would stay for the rest of the month.

    That’s it, you can keep the 500 million. I’ve already won.

    I will craft a rudimentary instrument using any materials available in my hut and using my very high charisma I will seduce the beast.

    I think some of the other suggestions are better, but my first thought was burying the knife in its food supply (assumings it's being given like entire dead cows or something) and hoping it takes a big enough bite to swallow it.

    I imagine that blade going through the digestive track has a good chance to kill it.

    Decent plan. However, you are giving up your only weapon so you better hope it's enough.

    I can't imagine killing a hippopotamus with a knife. I don't care if it's sleeping well after I attempt to attack it. One result, every time.

    Now I'm imagining a far more dangerous monster, several times larger and faster. Yeah, it's just not a weapon in my mind.

    Honestly, if it eats entire raw bones, I don't think a little knife would do much.

    Meh, the esophagus is certainly tough enough for that but stomach acid can do a number on bones. The story is different for metal depending on stuff I don't know much about, but I imagine a quality blade would stand a good chance. And intestines should be softer than bone. And depending on how fast they digest, you might get a few tries at least... Idk I think it's a decent plan really

    Do I get to choose the food and can I use it towards the production of improvised weapons, including chemical and bio weapons? Can I stay in the hut and throw things outside the hut?

    If yes, sure.

    Alternatively: is the t-rex provided food during this time?

    Keep feeding the t-rex with my unlimited supply of food. It will overeat and get lazy.

    I've seen it happen with birds. If they eat too much you can just walk over and pick them up.

    lol, I think within the last week here on Lemmy there was a story from someone working at an animal rescue about a hawk that got too fat to fly. It had been nomming on some local free-range chickens and someone found the too-fat-to-fly hawk and called the rescue.

    The T rex must sleep at some point. Find a big artery close to the skin surface, sever it. Watch it bleed out to death.

    Or just stay in the hut and enjoy one month of free food and rent.

    I would be very surprised if a T-Rex had any major artery close enough to its skin to get pierced by a standard hunting knife. That would've been a major evolutionary flaw considering the other animals they were up against.

    Have you seen a headless chicken freaking out and running around before bleeding out and dying? Now imagine that, except the chicken is 12 m tall, weighs 8 metric tonnes, still has its head, and that head is full of teeth the size of a kitchen knife.
