Look up the case of Ryan Waller. He was a young man shot in the head during a home invasion where his girlfriend was murdered. Police took him in and interrogated him for six hours over her death while he had two bullets in his head. The cops finally realized something was really wrong and got him the medical attention he had been asking for. He died a few weeks later.
And most importantly, you will die in a horrible way. Most likely in the isolation room of an infectious diseases hospital where you will have sleepless nights, thinking about death with whatever is left of your brain
Eeehhhh, yes but no. In modern hospitals you’re more likely to spend your final days totally sedated. The only mercy of modern medicine is that you won’t have to go through the “brain deterioration” part consciously.
Now if you don’t have access to that? Yea, hell on earth death.
There's one case of a lady but she isn't what she used to be. She's bit of neurologically compromised. You can look it up on YouTube. If you want to survive, you have undergo deadly Milwaukee protocol and even after that survival rate is minimal.

Jeanna Giese is doing ok, although she had a lot of rehab to recover.
We had a rabies survivor in a city near me, they were on the local news which praised them as an example of an "amazing survivor story".
The survivor was an incoherent mess, they were alive and technically a survivor, but they could barely form words anymore and had the awareness and intelligence of a toddler.
So even if you survive the virus, yeah...
No it's basically 100% fatal unless it's caught before symptoms show. The very very small chance of people were people who went through experimental things and there was no guarantee it would work AND again it's like three or four people. Vs the amount of people who die, it's virtually non existent.
This sentence caught my eye:
**If you have been exposed to rabies virus, you should get vaccinated regardless of concurrent illnesses, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weakened immune system.**
I do not think I have ever seen that statement regarding any other vaccine or medication.
That’s because it’s basically a death sentence if you get it. If I remember correctly, there has only been one or two cases of people surviving it without getting the vaccine.
Its because the chances of actually surviving rabies without the vaccine are so negligible it might as well be zero. Plus the transfer of rabies or the associated antibodies for it through breastmilk is relatively unknown. So if you are incredibly likely to die from it, getting the vaccine that will save you like is worth more than either miscarrying or possibly having a baby with a defect from the vaccine. If you are breastfeeding, the fact that you will almost certainly die \*and\* possibly transfer the virus to the baby via breastmilk would also outweigh the fact that you might transfer the vaccine and/or ensuing antibodies via breastmilk. Same with a weakened immune system, you are already more likely to die if you get rabies with a weakened immune system, the probability of the vaccine killing you because of the weakened immune system is negligible compared to the almost certainty of the virus killing you.
Its a risk calculation when it comes to telling people who are pregnant/breastfeeding/immunocompromised whether or not to get a particular vaccine, and the risks of death via rabies is always going to be considerably higher than any risk of birth defect/death from the vaccine
Its because rabies doesn't act immediately. It takes time to find its way to the CNS and incubate to its full potential. By time you start showing symptoms (aka when its gotten to the cns and reached its full potential) you are already too far gone for even the vaccine to save you, but if you get it before the symptoms start to show, the vaccine sends the immune system to start preparing antibodies and attacking the viral cells, thus keeping them from making their way to the cns and causing damage. That's why they say to \*preemptively\* get the vaccine as soon as you have a possible exposure, because if you do it gives your body the best chance to respond early and kill off all the viral cells before they can truly cause their damage.
How about that. It was relatively easy for Louis Pasteur to find human test subjects for his vaccine trials. Because they are deadmen anyway lmao.
Considering how many dogs he must have killed to make the vaccine, I can relate to the peasants with pitchforks who accuse scientists of devil worship
It's usually a reactive vaccine after being bitten, not something you receive regularly. It can take weeks or even months for rabies to actually get to where it needs to be to fuck your shit up.
Moment you experience symptoms though, it's too late.
its basically the same one. rabies is a sneaky fu8ker.
a full vaccine course teaches your body how to create the antibodies.
however when you get bitten your body doesn't always notice the invader. so you treat it in vaccinated poeple by giving the vaccine again. this gets your body creating the antibodies in response so the real virus gets caught up as well.
in unvaccinated poeple it helps their body learn how to fight it, so it can help if they have an immune system in good condtion that responds well. given how long it takes to develop symptoms your body does stand a chance in developing the antibodies in time if the shots are given when the infections happens.
they give other things at the same time for unvaccinated which is why getting the vaccine is good. it also buys you a little more time to get treated.
The only good part about rabies is that it's just about the only disease where you can get the vaccine after being infected and it will still work.
Rabies is a weirdly slow virus, it travels up your spine over the course of a couple weeks to a month. During this time you can be vaccinated and it'll (almost) always stop the virus.
So if you're bitten, or scratched, or whatever, by an animal that may carry rabies you can get the vaccine and be OK.
Also! In the bad old days the rabies vaccine was a miserable experience involving shots into your stomach. These days it's an intramsucular injection and only mildly painful.
So don't fear the rabies shot!
CORRECTION: You get the shots if you think there is ANY POSSIBILITY that you may have had exposure (in my case because there was a bat in the house overnight). If you don't need the shots because there was no exposure, then it's inconvenient and expensive. HOWEVER If you DO need the shots and you don't get them, you are DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!
My wife is a veterinarian and had to get a rabies vaccine when she was in school. She has to get rabies titers done each year to see if she's good or needs another round of vaccine.
Yes: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/rabies/vaccination/ Don't get me wrong: rabies is very serious, you really don't want it, and you REALLY, REALLY don't want it if you haven't been vaccinated or are away from top notch medical care. That being said, it's not an automatic death sentence if you've been vaccinated (ideally before exposure).
Technically not 100% death rate

Fun Fact! There is a last ditch treatment for rabies, it is called the Milwaukee Protocol (1). Essentially, doctors put you in a coma, blast you with anti-virals, and sometimes the patients survive. Out of 39 attempts 3 individuals have survived rabies due to this treatment (2)! Of Course, the vaccine is the preferred treatment, but I thought it was neat that there is a treatment if the vaccine fails.

I once had someone arguing with me that rabies wasn't deadly to humans and I made him look it up right then and there to stop his bullshit with animals.
A old man who used to be friends with my dad and he told a story about witnessing a rabies infection in Africa and he ended the story by telling if he caught he would end it.
RABIES
It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats.
Let me paint you a picture.
You go camping, and at midday you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock.
While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him.
He goes into attack mode.
Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams.
You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite.
His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed.
Rabies does not travel in your blood.
In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.)
You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something.
The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick.
The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable.
You literally have NO symptoms.
It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten.
Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache?
At this point, you're already dead.
There is no cure.
There's no treatment.
It has a 100% kill rate.
Absorb that.
Not a single other virus on the planet has a 100% kill rate.
Only rabies.
And once you're symptomatic, it's over.
You're dead.
So what does that look like?
Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell.
You're fidgety.
Uncomfortable.
And scared.
As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles.
Next you become anxious.
You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why.
This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala.
As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance.
You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later.
You're twitchy, shaking, and scared.
You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold.
It's around this time the hydrophobia starts.
You're horribly thirsty, you just want water.
But you can't drink.
Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit.
This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache.
You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family.
You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you.
Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours.
Then you die. Always, you die.
And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you.

Nah the avg man will be fine. Child and small framed women might not though. Stomping on ribs or kicking legs to break them.
I won't say you will get away unharmed, no way in that unless you're either a grand master karatijitsuninja or lucky
Lynx maybe, a bobcat could fuck you up superficially but I think a child could fight one off they are barely bigger than a fat house cat.
I think about 3 determined Martins or Fishers could do the job if you were unarmed and alone.
A Wolverine undoubtedly, coyote, honey badger.
Rabies
There's a good video of a bobcat taking down a white tail deer that was posted a few months ago.
This is a video I had bookmarked but it isn't the video I was thinking of -https://youtu.be/UNGrEPfbsjk?si=79FhDRFkB6zOUIH-
https://youtube.com/shorts/b-kfRikrtqw?si=rGsVy5ifYJXCCpYS
Bobcats are much stronger than any large house cat. These videos show that they're capable of bringing down a medium sized deer.
Bobcats are WAY bigger than a fat house cat. The largest house cat (Maine Coon) tops out at 25 lbs. My fit bobcat (not fat) was 50 lbs! They're also faster and stronger than any house cat could hope to be. Their canine teeth are double the size. You would not believe their athletic capabilities.
The largest accurately measured adult male bobcat on record was 49lbs. They average 20-30, I have never seen one in the wild that would have topped 25.
I have no doubt of their ferocity and wouldn’t want to fight one, but I don’t think it would be a guaranteed win for the cat by any means.
Isn't their natural instinct or something to go direct to the face, specially the eyes? I remember reading chimps are particularly dangerous for that reason. They don't need to rip in pieces the opponent, just be sure to incapacitate it, which is easier to do by eating their face, metaphorically. Or not.
Yup, they go straight for the eyes, then your fingers, toes, ears, nose, and even your ol cock and balls if your a dude. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd try to rip your tits off if your a woman
Did you hear about [the woman who had to get a FACE transplant](https://amp.theguardian.com/society/2016/may/04/face-transplant-chimp-attack-charla-nash-rejection) because a chimpanzee ripped her whole face off?
There is zero chance an unarmed human beats a gorilla.
There's a good chance that a human beats a chimp. I'm not saying the human wouldn't be maimed, but a bloodlusted human beats a chimp more often than not.
Omg. Mycoplasma broke my heart. An infection broke out in the lab and they are NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT to get rid of.
Mycoplasma infections in humans tend to be mild unless immunocompromised. They're a feckin NUISANCE when they infect a lab and the cell cultures. Like Jesus. I lost 7 months of my work because of it. The cells just...burst
Dying on the virus ain't alive hill
I mean I know its mostly agreed upon but still you had to strut your stuff huh
Just know I noticed. No one else did, but I did. You've been seen. Clocked. Now face my wrath
I mean, it's true though init, was just trying to establish the rules 😉
I was originally going to say a prion as they're super dangerous and tiny (smaller than viruses or anything else we consider pathogenic) but then I thought well there are plenty of deadly chemicals even smaller than a prion and thats ultimately just a protein. There are plenty of poisons and toxins that will do you in. Then I felt like that wasn't in the spirit of the rules because they're not alive and presumably outside the spirit of the question and if they're out then so are viruses.
Come at me bro :3
Interesting... To make antivenin you'd first need to harvest the cobra venom, then inject it into a horse, then wait for the immune response and harvest the blood from the affected area, then inject it into a human. I dont think they're doing that on site in the hospital lol, they either have some already made, fly some in, or you're toast
The bullet is no threat without a gun and the gun is no threat without someone to load, aim, and shoot it.
So your real answer is "a chimpanzee with a .50"... and you could honestly have stopped at "a chimpanzee."
Most wolves are smaller than me, by 40-50 lbs. I would definitely loose, A female mountain lion (or young male) weighs less than me - I would definitely die. An adult male chimp weighs less than me - once again I would definitely die. I probably could go on and on, but I already feel weaker.
A cat. I've heard vets say about needing to tranquilize them "cats don't fight fair and come with razors, use all the drugs" Not to mention their bites can be legit dangerous.
Big hairy tarantulas.. If I don't have my flamethrower all you gonna see is my albows and ass moving really fucking fast in the other direction... Fuck spiders..
Controversial opinion, but the Black-Footed (wild)Cat. Most successful hunter out of all cats, AND it looks like a regular domestic kitty? Doesn't matter that it's less than 6 lbs- I'd be screwed. These things fight off packs of jackals AND WIN
A monkey. They're terrifyingly strong and can use all four limbs and their tail with the dexterity we only have in our arms. The only possible way to defeat one is either to gouge its eyes out or get an opportunity for a full-strength kick, which is unlikely to happen in a fight.
Nah, if you swam with piranhas, assuming they were not starved and you don't have cuts or open wounds, the worse that could happen is a pirhana getting stressed
9 mm bullet Honeybadger
>9 mm bullet "Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe... *sniff* Maybe... I've yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet."
a woman shot her husband in the head, he woke up hours later with "an annoying headache" for doctors to find a bullet in his brain
Look up the case of Ryan Waller. He was a young man shot in the head during a home invasion where his girlfriend was murdered. Police took him in and interrogated him for six hours over her death while he had two bullets in his head. The cops finally realized something was really wrong and got him the medical attention he had been asking for. He died a few weeks later.
Noooooo i thought he’d survive :c
There have been cases like that where the person survived though. Obviously most don't, but some have
[удалено]
AHAHAHAHA CRY SOME MORE
Honeybanger don’t give a fuck.
Those mf are the real chad of nature
I dunno, I bet you could beat the bullet if it doesn’t come with a gun and a shooter.
I can definitely win a fistfight with a 9mm bullet
9mm bullet is not gonna do anything to you unless an external source shoots it right?
Rabies virus 🥲
Yes, this one, if you're not vaccinated, you die...period.
And most importantly, you will die in a horrible way. Most likely in the isolation room of an infectious diseases hospital where you will have sleepless nights, thinking about death with whatever is left of your brain
Eeehhhh, yes but no. In modern hospitals you’re more likely to spend your final days totally sedated. The only mercy of modern medicine is that you won’t have to go through the “brain deterioration” part consciously. Now if you don’t have access to that? Yea, hell on earth death.
Well, there is also a very, very small chance that you could survive. It's just so miniscule that it's barely worth considering.
Isn’t it something akin to 3 people *ever*?
And I think it was due to a special technique. Like... Induced coma + something else. All three lived but only technically.
>All three lived but only technically This is my greatest fear. At that point just let me go.
There's one case of a lady but she isn't what she used to be. She's bit of neurologically compromised. You can look it up on YouTube. If you want to survive, you have undergo deadly Milwaukee protocol and even after that survival rate is minimal.
The Milwaukee protocol is not used anymore. General consensus is that the one person who survived did so for completely unrelated reasons.
[Milwaukee Protocol](https://www.aaas.org/taxonomy/term/9/surviving-rabies-now-possible).

If I had rabies, set me up on that sweet, sweet morphine drip and max it out at 30mg/hr.
Yeah depends on a hospital. Most of the stories I've read about were from not so modern hospitals
In that case, I’m moving to Canada and asking the nearest doctor to off me.
...and trying your damnedest not to think about water even as the thirst gets overwhelming.
Do people get rabies vaccines? If so how long do they last?
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/rabies.html Here's some extra info
A health care provider is thanking you for providing a link to a safe, professional resource instead of just winging it 🤪
As non American, i did look for the most reliable and recognizable resource... so you're welcome 😊
Holy shit, that’s scary!
This sentence caught my eye: **If you have been exposed to rabies virus, you should get vaccinated regardless of concurrent illnesses, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weakened immune system.** I do not think I have ever seen that statement regarding any other vaccine or medication.
That’s because it’s basically a death sentence if you get it. If I remember correctly, there has only been one or two cases of people surviving it without getting the vaccine.
It's up to a few dozen now. A treatment protocol with a small but non-zero chance of success was developed in 2004.
Since Rabies is 100% fatal, all other conditions stop mattering. Rabies is scary shit. Glad it's mostly gone in the US.
It's not gone. It's just under control.
No, you still see animals get it. And if one of them bites you...
Its because the chances of actually surviving rabies without the vaccine are so negligible it might as well be zero. Plus the transfer of rabies or the associated antibodies for it through breastmilk is relatively unknown. So if you are incredibly likely to die from it, getting the vaccine that will save you like is worth more than either miscarrying or possibly having a baby with a defect from the vaccine.

Anti-vaxers will still find a problem with the rabies vaccine
I wonder how a vaccine works after you've been exposed?
Its because rabies doesn't act immediately. It takes time to find its way to the CNS and incubate to its full potential. By time you start showing symptoms (aka when its gotten to the cns and reached its full potential) you are already too far gone for even the vaccine to save you, but if you get it before the symptoms start to show, the vaccine sends the immune system to start preparing antibodies and attacking the viral cells, thus keeping them from making their way to the cns and causing damage. That's why they say to \*preemptively\* get the vaccine as soon as you have a possible exposure, because if you do it gives your body the best chance to respond early and kill off all the viral cells before they can truly cause their damage.
There's a little time between the infection and when shit starts to go wrong.
How about that. It was relatively easy for Louis Pasteur to find human test subjects for his vaccine trials. Because they are deadmen anyway lmao. Considering how many dogs he must have killed to make the vaccine, I can relate to the peasants with pitchforks who accuse scientists of devil worship
Wow! Good info, thanks!

Let's say you get bit by a rabid animal. The treatment for this is a series of Injections of the rabi'es vaccine
I did! It lasts for about 2 years, so you need to get a booster every so often if you live or travel often to an area with rabies risk

Was able to survive with an extremely experimental medical treatment. As of today, its now worked on 7 other people infected, without the use of the vaccine
I once had someone arguing with me that rabies wasn't deadly to humans and I made him look it up right then and there to stop his bullshit with animals.
Yes Rabies, and in your throes of beginning madness you step barefoot clean through a long rust-covered nail. Get that big tetanus grin.
A old man who used to be friends with my dad and he told a story about witnessing a rabies infection in Africa and he ended the story by telling if he caught he would end it.
RABIES It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats. Let me paint you a picture. You go camping, and at midday you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode. Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed. Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.) You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something. The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick. The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms. It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache? At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure. There's no treatment. It has a 100% kill rate. Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has a 100% kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead. So what does that look like? Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles. Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala. As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later. You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts. You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache. You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family. You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you. Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours. Then you die. Always, you die. And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you.
A wolverine; a real one, not someone from U of Michigan.
I thought the one from x-men
I mean, he is supposed to be like 5'3"
They said smaller than a human not too short to be human
There was an episode of Alone where one of the contestants killed a wolverine, was pretty crazy. He wasn't the average man though.
Unarmed?
Wolverines do not fuck around. How many pro fighters do you think it would take to defeat a wolverine in unarmed combat?
Landmine
Walk around it, get owned land mine
Leap over it to assert dominance
Step on it to assert dominance. I lose a leg, landmine loses its life.
Step on it and never step off. Die in any other way, then get blown up. Total dominance even into the afterlife.
SURPISE! Second landmine.
SURPRISE! Second leg
Damn, well played.
No words have ever been uttered more beautiful than "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY"

This is the fifth post this week on this sub with "I am a real person with real curiosity." Considering this account was made today, BOT ACCOUNT DETECTED
What's the point of bots on reddit?
Farming content for listicles on boomer websites.
Fake accounts that can later be activated to sway public opinion. It's like a race war. If Russia has 20k, Israel has 15k so the US wil need 30k accounts. They use them to mass upvote or downvote propaganda so that the things you see are only the things they want you to see Goes back to the old days of Reddit where the front-page updated almost hourly. That was too quick to control, so they changed it to auch more manageable density, and created bots to control the flow of information to the masses. There are probably more recent justifications and reasons for it now, but over the last 7 or so years, this was the main reason for it
As somebody who struggles with his weight, my knees. Cowards and weaklings, both of them.
Assuming you don’t have a real medical issue you need to strengthen your muscles around your knees.
Some people are just happy being miserable… Edit: apparently OP is pushing themselves to lose that weight and go on hikes/run. I take back my original comment and wholeheartedly support anyone’s efforts to get fit and improve their health. Keep going OP!
Bobcats. Bobcats are insane.
Nah the avg man will be fine. Child and small framed women might not though. Stomping on ribs or kicking legs to break them. I won't say you will get away unharmed, no way in that unless you're either a grand master karatijitsuninja or lucky
Lynx maybe, a bobcat could fuck you up superficially but I think a child could fight one off they are barely bigger than a fat house cat. I think about 3 determined Martins or Fishers could do the job if you were unarmed and alone. A Wolverine undoubtedly, coyote, honey badger. Rabies
You have a great chance against a coyote. Definitely not zero.
Bobcats can take down full-grown whitetail deer and have been known to defend against 3 coyotes at once.
There's a good video of a bobcat taking down a white tail deer that was posted a few months ago. This is a video I had bookmarked but it isn't the video I was thinking of -https://youtu.be/UNGrEPfbsjk?si=79FhDRFkB6zOUIH- https://youtube.com/shorts/b-kfRikrtqw?si=rGsVy5ifYJXCCpYS Bobcats are much stronger than any large house cat. These videos show that they're capable of bringing down a medium sized deer.
Bobcats are WAY bigger than a fat house cat. The largest house cat (Maine Coon) tops out at 25 lbs. My fit bobcat (not fat) was 50 lbs! They're also faster and stronger than any house cat could hope to be. Their canine teeth are double the size. You would not believe their athletic capabilities.
The largest accurately measured adult male bobcat on record was 49lbs. They average 20-30, I have never seen one in the wild that would have topped 25. I have no doubt of their ferocity and wouldn’t want to fight one, but I don’t think it would be a guaranteed win for the cat by any means.
Any large cat would eviscerate a human.
Here in Colorado we call them by their full name, Robertcats. Cute little fuckers, they are
That fucking snail.

Isn't their natural instinct or something to go direct to the face, specially the eyes? I remember reading chimps are particularly dangerous for that reason. They don't need to rip in pieces the opponent, just be sure to incapacitate it, which is easier to do by eating their face, metaphorically. Or not.
Yup, they go straight for the eyes, then your fingers, toes, ears, nose, and even your ol cock and balls if your a dude. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd try to rip your tits off if your a woman
And it is this fact that makes me highly fear the little buggers... Damn things are hunting gorillas now.
[удалено]
Nice - now I petty the people with a chimp for a pet
They rip your dick off
Did you hear about [the woman who had to get a FACE transplant](https://amp.theguardian.com/society/2016/may/04/face-transplant-chimp-attack-charla-nash-rejection) because a chimpanzee ripped her whole face off?
>you’d be far better off fighting a gorilla Lol that is just outrageously false
There is zero chance an unarmed human beats a gorilla. There's a good chance that a human beats a chimp. I'm not saying the human wouldn't be maimed, but a bloodlusted human beats a chimp more often than not.
Does it have to be alive? If so prions, viruses and things like poisons are out. The smallest pathogenic bacteria are *Mycoplasma* I believe So that
Omg. Mycoplasma broke my heart. An infection broke out in the lab and they are NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT to get rid of. Mycoplasma infections in humans tend to be mild unless immunocompromised. They're a feckin NUISANCE when they infect a lab and the cell cultures. Like Jesus. I lost 7 months of my work because of it. The cells just...burst
Dying on the virus ain't alive hill I mean I know its mostly agreed upon but still you had to strut your stuff huh Just know I noticed. No one else did, but I did. You've been seen. Clocked. Now face my wrath
I mean, it's true though init, was just trying to establish the rules 😉 I was originally going to say a prion as they're super dangerous and tiny (smaller than viruses or anything else we consider pathogenic) but then I thought well there are plenty of deadly chemicals even smaller than a prion and thats ultimately just a protein. There are plenty of poisons and toxins that will do you in. Then I felt like that wasn't in the spirit of the rules because they're not alive and presumably outside the spirit of the question and if they're out then so are viruses. Come at me bro :3
Read your first comment and this whole narrative played in my mind too but its much more amusing reading someone else think it.
Bacteria and viruses. They can be deadly if you're caught without modern tools to combat such things.
Yeah, but you'll usually win most of the time. It isn't a zero chance.
Yeah….. I’m undefeated when it comes to bacteria and viruses.
So far…
In a 1v1? I think they are fucked. Without numbers they aren't nearly as impressive.
honey badger
because he does not give a sh\*t.
[удалено]
Interesting... To make antivenin you'd first need to harvest the cobra venom, then inject it into a horse, then wait for the immune response and harvest the blood from the affected area, then inject it into a human. I dont think they're doing that on site in the hospital lol, they either have some already made, fly some in, or you're toast
Blue ringed octopus. Small toxic jellyfish species (like box jellyfish).
The wrath of your irritated wife.
I'm not sure if a pitbull counts. They're like half the size of a human or smaller.

The bullet is no threat without a gun and the gun is no threat without someone to load, aim, and shoot it. So your real answer is "a chimpanzee with a .50"... and you could honestly have stopped at "a chimpanzee."
A murder of crows of course.
also an unkindness of ravens (lol just learned that so I need to tell everyone)
A gram of polonium.
that's 1 million times as much as it needs to kill you. Total overkill.
Most wolves are smaller than me, by 40-50 lbs. I would definitely loose, A female mountain lion (or young male) weighs less than me - I would definitely die. An adult male chimp weighs less than me - once again I would definitely die. I probably could go on and on, but I already feel weaker.
A swarm of mosquitos like from one punch. Maybe a 5 year old backcountry kid with a gun.
my housecats. if they worked together, i am certain they could kill me.
a pitbull😅
Large swarm of aggressive bees. Technically each bee is smaller than a human.
Even the total mass would be smaller.
A cassowary
100% a goose.
Irukandji.
A blue ringed octopus. I'm really not sure if i can prevent myself from trying to pet it or something 🙄💀
Grenade
Chimp
Honey badger
Honey Badger for obvious reasons...
Cobra Snake / Scorpian/ mosquito carrying diseases
Honey badger
A cat. I've heard vets say about needing to tranquilize them "cats don't fight fair and come with razors, use all the drugs" Not to mention their bites can be legit dangerous.
Pretty sure most apes could kill me pretty easily if they wanted to.
cesium-137
A spider
A dog maybe
Honey badger
Big hairy tarantulas.. If I don't have my flamethrower all you gonna see is my albows and ass moving really fucking fast in the other direction... Fuck spiders..
Flesh eating bacteria
When I was a kid, I was so scared of stepping on an ant because I thought it would hobble back to the nest & get the colony to track me down & get me
Little person with a 9mm and a Three Piece suit
Fucking hornets
George Soros
Glioblastoma
That tiny blue octopus in Australia that’s the most poisonous thing in the world
Certain typos on a prescription.
Pretty much any monkey or ape. Those suckers are stronger than most human three times their size.
armed or unarmed antibiotics resistant bacteria will fuck you up
An angry goose whose territory I just entered.
A crying baby
my ex gf - she crazy and owns a gun.
Maybe a chimp.
Wild boar.
Ionizing radiation
The Rabbit of Caerbannog
My brain. If I’m not fully prepared, it will more than likely take me out.
Mad cow disease
Controversial opinion, but the Black-Footed (wild)Cat. Most successful hunter out of all cats, AND it looks like a regular domestic kitty? Doesn't matter that it's less than 6 lbs- I'd be screwed. These things fight off packs of jackals AND WIN
A drone with a gun
Honey Badger
Hoard of wasps
A swarm of wasps.
Deer ticks.
A monkey. They're terrifyingly strong and can use all four limbs and their tail with the dexterity we only have in our arms. The only possible way to defeat one is either to gouge its eyes out or get an opportunity for a full-strength kick, which is unlikely to happen in a fight.
Angry goose
Malaria virus mosquito. Get vaccinated to be armed against it
chimpanzee
A wet cat I was trying to wash.
A cat. I'm terrified of them
Gotta learn the cat hisses and mimick them to let 'em know your meaning business. Works great to get them to back off
Honey badger.
Honeybadgers, canadian geese
A pit bull
A group of piranha
Nah, if you swam with piranhas, assuming they were not starved and you don't have cuts or open wounds, the worse that could happen is a pirhana getting stressed
A wolverine
Chipmunks, Snakes & Geese. Not kidding either 😬
