      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.

          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.

      There is a family legend about an amorous goose. I don’t know it well enough to tell it properly though, I wasn’t there when it happened. But I do not understand the Statesian confidence in goose warfare.

        Our confidence comes from experience. Canada has been sending their worst at us for generations. We fight geese as children.

      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.

      I guess Americans just have more experience in actually fighting those overgrown turkeys. Actually turkeys have spurs so they’re a bit more of a threat to a human adult than geese are. I’d rather tussle with a goose than a wild Tom turkey.

          Their kicks can bruise you but are unlikely to do more than that.

          The big males (known as a bully hah) of certain species can also punch hard enough to potentially knock you out but they aren’t going to bother a boxer.

          I think around 60% of people would probably just get roughed up by a big male kangaroo. Anyone with experience fighting would probably do alright.

      Anyone could easily beat a king cobra in a fight if they’re able bodied, the venom doesn’t effect you instantly

          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…

      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.

      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.
