scariest animal you could probably kill in a fight
Hand to hand life or death I think I could survive fighting one (1) wolf. If I have a suitable fixed blade buck knife I think I could actually win. Hell, with a good knife I'd have a fighting chance against a North American black bear. Anything bigger than that I'm toast. Mountain lions I dunno. They aren't much more in terms of raw muscle and bite power but they're more maneuverable and twisty. It'd be like trying to wrangle a cat into a cat carrier but the cat weighs like 120 pounds and is trying to eat your organs.
It's all about how aggressive you are, I think. You gotta charge in first not wait for them to rush you.
A mountain lion or bear is going to fuck a new asshole into your face man are you crazy
This thread reminds me of that poll where like 80% of the men surveyed thought they could score a single point against Serena Williams.
Do I have a gun? I could kill most animals in a fight if I had a gun. If it's bare hands then maybe a raccoon, I wouldn't even take a real swing at a fox, I think people are massively overestimating themselves and underestimating how much of your ass most wild animals could kick.
Foxes are pretty cowardly though so I think I could stomp one to death if I had to. Raccoons will definitely hold their own more than a fox.
Animals that size I worry the most about are birds. Geese and Swans are nasty fuckers and will totally kick your ass. I've seen Swans attack people on jet skis and it was horrifying.
Fox and raccoons that actually want to fight probably have rabies so you're fucked later.

That’s dipshit men underestimating the skill and athleticism women athletes possess and subsequently overestimating their own
While I know a large predator very likely fucks me up, I also know that I’m the product of evolution of a species that can and does and will kill every other thing on the planet. Without rules, I can kill any animal. No animal can say the same.

I am insane yes and that is why I would win against a black bear if I had a knife.

To be 100% clear I would pick fighting a bear every single time rather than play tennis against Serena Williams.
She would launch a tennis ball through my skull like a fucking Navy Seal sniper killing me instantly.

A few months ago I watched a video of a guy being stalked by mountain lion that he scared away with a warning shot. The cat's reaction was so quick that its plausible it would have dodged the bullet if he were aiming at it. No fucking way any human is quick enough to get the upper hand on a mountain lion.
Black bears are a different story. They can definitely fuck you up, but they are not on the same level aggression-wise as their big brown cousins which are far more powerful and much faster.
So we'll just go ahead and add "killed by a bear" to the "and that's the last time anyone saw ol' Juggs" board, I reckon somewhere between "searching for the perfect blackberries" and "lost faith in fellow man"

Black bears are chill fucking goofballs who just want to eat your garbage, compared to their brown/grizzly cousins who are one of nature’s most effective murder machines.
A brown bear can get up to 9 feet tall, almost 900 pounds, can run 35 miles an hour, have 4-inch claws, and have never once felt fear.
I am confident about anything up to German shepherd sized dogs. My great Dane is 170 lbs of pure muscle and he drug me behind him like a fucking looney tunes cartoon. He was chasing a chicken and when he hit the end of the leash i had attached to his body harness he didn't even slow down and i am 180 lbs. I knew he was strong but that's the first time he ever really just completely ignored me and it made me realize that every other time i have taken him for a walk and pulled him away from an interesting smell he let me do it. He can pick up and carry 28lbs cinder blocks. A large dog would absolutely kill most people even with a knife. Also, as someone who has done a bit of knife training, most people would just immediately stab themselves anyways. So i guess in keeping with the spirit of the question i would put my odds at 50/50 against Cujo.

id ask you to read the op for the rules but it's clear to me that you did and decided to break every single one
the animal has turned on you, there is no escape, and under Farg's rules you have only the sweat of your brow and the jorts you arrived in as your tools to deal with it
you can kill a staggering amount of things with a spear or sword
but like, just a knife? I could take a wolf but I would 100% also be crippled or killed in the process
If all I have is a knife the first thing I'm doing is using it to turn a long stick into a long sharp stick.
You have a knife and a stick, but cords of any kind are prohibited. What now, Bear Grylls?
climate appropriate clothing, you've got a knife, you can make some strips of fabric and get yourself a fastening there. my concern is the likelihood of finding a proper spear-worthy stick.

... you sharpen the stick with the knife is the idea fellas.
Wasn’t the whole point of StarCraft that the terrans were the real Zerg threat
The 2 idea is there are cosmic cycles of sentient species developing on multiple planets, a species with Puroty of Essence and a species with Purity of Form would interact and create a new cosmic being to ascend to a sort of Godhood. One of these beings decides to mess with the process creating the Zerg and Protoss. Turns out species involved in the setting that fulfill the criteria without meddling by Corruption are Primal Zerg and Terrans.

Oh, I could definitely kill myself faster than the animal could.
Stuff wearing jorts.

I think the really scary part of this scenario is imagining animals who wouldn't ordinarily attack a human just going all-out to kill you. Like I don't think I would lose to a berserker squirrel encountered at eye level, but the first phase of the fight is going to be an extremely bad time for me.

So humans are uncorrupted Protoss
Wait, that's the story of StarCraft 2? Fuck man, Blizzard just can't write.

Yeah it culminates in Kerrigan becoming, basically God, and just solving All Of The Problems and then fucking off forever.

I wouldn’t know anything about overthinking these types of questions

Wait really? That's pretty cool, off to StarCraft Wikipedia for me
Also I'd never seen that tennis thing, 10/10 tweet
ursine?
'cause I know I can take at least two regular bears

this is why the best i'm doing is dying alongside a king cobra
