t-rex isn’t exactly known for being able to take things
I mean, in defense of the t-rex, it’s not it’s it’s arms that are grabbing whatever it is, it’s their maw. Try resisting a t-rex trying to get something off your hands with it’s teethy mouth you’re not gonna have arms left to resist.
But then you could, in this hypothetical scenario, argue that it’d be more equal then. Neither of you would have useful arms to fight with.
I’m betting on the t-rex in a mouth-combat match.
Even with a bunch of guns, I bet a t-rex could sustain more bullets than a human could sustain one nibble from a t-rex mouf.
E: and I bet you could teach a t-rex to shoot a firearm even if it couldn’t aim that well. So an armed t-rex would definitely win.
Betcha a T-Rex is just like an alligator or crocodile. Dangerous with their mouth open, but a 12 year old could hold it shut. So with one or two lassos and a pointy stick, T-Rex loses.
I’ll take that bet. Alligators, as “small” as they are still manage to rip of arms, heads and other appendages from humans, other alligators and other animals all the time. I’d bet a t-rex is more deadly than an alligator though, even if a 12-year-old could hold it’s mouth shut, that’s if the 12-year-old still has it’s arms after trying to pry a t-rexes mouth shut. Not even going into handling a lasso, but that’s the kind of territory of whether the t-rex can handle a gun.
Now I hope we can, sometime in the near future, bring these kinds of imaginary fights to life with the help of AI. Like celebrity death match, but with whatever people want to see the most. “Who would win, a 100 10-year olds or a t-rex”. I’d watch that.
“How many toddlers would it take to beat Mike Tyson? Find out in the next Ultimate Fight!”
I was assuming that the human/humans were doing the human thing of not fighting fair, and setting traps for the T-Rex. Also you would use the lassos at a distance so that they are the only thing the T-Rex can bite. You’re totally ignoring the one thing that makes humans dangerous. Our brains.
True true. But I think you’re also totally ignoring or at least underestimating human stupidity and arrogance.
It really depends on the situation. A random t-rex vs a random 12-year old or the apex of t-rexes and the smartest, combat-ready 12-year old? Because I’d bet the average joe, whether a 12-year old or not, especially if a 12-year old, does not know how to handle a lasso or make a trap efficient enough not to get killed by a t-rex.
See this is what we need AI for. The important questions. To go through all the variations.
