There was a 32 minute period from initial text to the first response, and then the whole thing was over by minute 3.
That certainly didn't kill an hour. That's like 35 minutes. Something's not right.
I'd go so far as to say OP is a liar. I bald faced full lipped green eyed strong jawed curly haired liar who broke my heart and will do so again.
I noticed that too but I think the meme is constructed by juxtaposing a twitter post making the claim about how much time it would kill onto a text of someone testing the claim on their friend, so the twitter person turns out to be wrong but no fault should be applied to the text convo.
Screenshot of a text convo in the screenshot of a Twitter post in a post on Lemmy- I'm holding you to account reallykindasorta. This rests solely on your broad, muscular shoulders. Quite frankly there's no way to wash your rugged yet tender hands of this mess, and I for one won't stand for it.
They told me the devil would be beautiful.
I really have no idea what you're on about, but I like your vibes 🤙
one of my favourite graphs ever dunno if it's real but eh it's funny
love the difference on geese
personally I'd say rat house cat and medium dog are my definite I'd win not even that difficult maybe maybe the big dog but I dunno the dog could win any of the others are a hard no I'd die
American male: I'm confident up to, but excluding the large dog. Now I'm sure there's a good chance I could win against a large dog, but it's not a big enough chance to call it "confident" and that's the first animal on the list where I can see things going very poorly for me if I don't handle the situation just right.
With the eagle, I'd probably get hurt (badly) and regret it, but what's the chance I'd lose the fight? I mean, their bones are fragile and once a wing is broken, it's game over for them.
Geese? We have Canada geese, amongst other species. They have a well-deserved reputation for their disagreeable personalities (especially when protecting their offspring). They can make you hurt if they wanted to, but an otherwise healthy adult human male can easily win in a fight with them as long as the human doesn't lose his nerve.
their bones are fragile and once a wing is broken, it's game over for them.
Your eyes are also very fragile and once they're gone it's over for you, and big birds are very well equipped for that.
And geese can bite your nuts.
I am not confident enough about both of those.
Large dog will fuck up most of humans 9 times out of 10.
we also have canada geese in the UK they're very common here terrifying beasts can break an arm
I'd rather take on a goose than a cat/rat. Geese at least you can get a hold of easily.
bahahahahaha no
Ahh I love this graph, true to the stereotypes as an American male I have spent way too long thinking about the different matchups. I think I could beat a chimpanzee, maybe... I'd have a huge weight advantage and that's not to be laughed at. Although I think they are very strong for their weight... but humans have better endurance probably. I think once I see red and my killer instincts activate I'd wipe the floor with him.
a chimp would kill you and make it look easy
Sorry, might be a problem for other people but I'm built different
"Everyone has a plan until they ~~get punched in the face~~ get inch long teeth embedded in their forehead"
Don't google chimpanzee attack.
Anyone could easily beat a king cobra in a fight if they're able bodied, the venom doesn't effect you instantly
More of a stalemate, then
i don't even think it's a stalemate most of the time, it's very easy to avoid getting bitten honestly, i think an able bodied human could win outright like 6/10 times if they're extremely careful and have a stick.
And the other 4/10 times are stalemates so...
1/3 of British people:
Only a holy hand grenade could defeat a creature so vile
Have you ever tried to bathe a house cat?
This is great. I would never fuck with a goose! Although I think if you know how to grab it by the neck you'll be OK.
Do you have the source of the graph by the way? I would love to share it.
I'm team "All animals must receive a pet"
I wouldn't fight a goose, but only lord knows how much would I fight to give the goose my headpats and to have it really tame around me.
I would bring my A-Game and armed to the teeth with peanuts, grapes, banana and pellets!
And this fight will be legendary taking many day and nights (actually, scratch the idea of taking nights. A healthy goose must have a healthy and undisturbed sleep)
sorry no source I just googled brits vs americans fight animals or something and a couple of graphs like that came up just this one had numbers so I picked this image as I said I'm not even certain it's real but it's low stakes and funny
edit: I had a look apparently yougov is the source

Thank you!!
Have Americans even seen what a goose does?
You’d have a hand around its neck, doing twirls for a shotput throw, and yeah, the goose goes like twenty-five meters back into the lake, and that’s fine.
But with a sinking realization as the goose fucks off, it stole your wallet.
Americans are also some of the loudest, over-confident, self-absorbed, entitled people on the planet. Of course they believe they can take on any animal.
My apologies go out to the dozen other Americans who are cool.
Please divulge your location so I can talk shit about your country in turn
No problem, there's plenty shit about Germans too! Bunch of conservative assholes that are afraid of change and are fucking weird in general. Especially the people in East Germany and Bavaria. Bunch of cunts is what they are. Except for the dozen of people that are cool of course.
Fair enough :)
I could totally take a T-Rex, and if you don't believe me bring one here and I'll fight it!
We'll spare no expense!
The idea that a horse could prepare is kinda whack. What is it gonna do? Get to an open field?
Suit up!
mine has diamond armor >:3
