Casper weighted 85 lbs. The average coyote is ±35 lbs.

Imagine fighting off 11 Baboons and killing 8 with your bare hands in a single night. Because that's the equivalent.

arent non-human primates like insanely strong? its more like killing eight 7th graders with your bare hands

It's easier if you don't like sand.

Oi! Can we get an admin over here? r/PrequelMemes is leaking again!

[-] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah. If we think of gorillas as the T-Rex of the primate world, then on paper baboons are pretty much the velociraptors. About half the weight of a human, really fast, and packing 6 inch canines.

[-] ngdev@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago

so if gorillas are t-rexes and baboons are the velociraptors, what would humans be? or, say, rhesus monkeys?

I was 6' tall in 7th grade, and no, I wasn't held back. I'm still 6' tall now. I didn't do any vertical growing after the summer between 6th/7th grades.

still nowhere near strong enough to take on a fully grown adult human male im sure lol

[-] deltapi@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

Good question. I didn't have occasion to test it. If we assume a good herd dog is roughly equivalent to Joe Rogan in his prime, I likely would have died though, yeah.

If we assume a good herd dog is roughly equivalent to Joe Rogan in his prime

...wait, are we rewriting Rogan into a top fighter, now? He didn't even compete after his teenage years, did he?

Not saying I could get as close as even touching the man, to be clear, but let's not act like he fought professionally for years

[-] deltapi@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Lol, no. But Rogan in his prime is still way more capable than the average adult.

wtf, really? I always remember him being close in size to contestants on fear factor. Was that all trickery, or did I just never notice?

[-] ngdev@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago

its a meme but also yeah pretty much. camera angles help a lot. he was on some sasquatch show and it was comical how small he looked compared to the other ppl. but mostly its a meme to say he's literally 5'3"

[-] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah but most 11 year olds aren't anywhere near 6'

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I don't think we he was arguing that it wasn't impressive insomuch as the pictured animals are wolves and he absolutely would have lost that fight.

Disclaimer: I'm not actually what the one on the right is, but the one on the left is definitely a wolf.
