      He didnt say forest. He said Forrest, as in Gump. Maybe Forrest gets smaller as he gets old.

        We should do the opposite of Noah’s arc where we put 2 of every animal, including humans, in the Houston Astrodome and have them fight to the death until one emerges.

          Do we all get prep time. And can animals who are capable of making them get tools, or do we have to make tools ourselves

    I’d pick wolf. They generally leave you alone and don’t want anything to do with you. I don’t know shit about gorillas

      Gorillas will tear off your face and testicles AFAIK. Just imagine the depraved shit a human would do to you assuming they could get away with it without repercussion.

      They wouldn’t hesitate to fuck you up.

        Gorillas are WAY more chill than chimpanzees. Just dint make eye contact and be respectful to the gorilla and it will leave you alone. They know that they are capable of fucking you up, and they know you know.

    This takes me back to “gorilla, man, gun,” which was basically the baptist youth camp version of rock, paper, scissors. (It probably exists outside of that context, that’s just where I always played it shrug)

      How does that work? Gorilla kills man? Gun kills Gorilla? but what’s the man/gun outcome? Because gun also kills man

        He already mentioned it was a religious thing, so chances are slim that the game is grounded in anything approaching logic.

          oh please rock paper scissors is also not very logical. so what if paper wraps a rock what does that accomplish?

            If you’re the kid that lived behind me in my childhood, you wrap the rocks in paper, light them on fire, then try to them at the BBQ pit in my backyard. If anything, the rock and paper combine into a more powerful weapon.

          Yeah, but there needs to be an answer, whether grounded in logic or not. Is it man uses gun? Is it gun kills man, and they don’t understand the game?

            Gorilla kills man, because obvious Man wins against gun because it’s an inanimate object Gun shoots gorilla because it doesn’t understand what it is and accidentally shoots itself.

    Wolf. Wolves are naturally shy of humans, and while gorillas are also, gorillas are also much bigger and stronger. If one decides it’s mad at you it will pull your limbs off. Or worse. A wolf will try to rip you apart and tear your throat out if it’s mad at you, but since it’s in a different weight class you might actually stand a chance if you curl up in the fetal position or whack it in the face with a rock.

    Wolf. Not only do I think my chances are better, I’d also feel less bad about trying to fuck up a wolf if I had to

      Considering there’s basically no chance of fucking up the gorilla, I don’t think you’d have to worry about the ethics of the situation.

    Definitely wolf. If I get trapped with a gorilla and some shots it to save me, humanity get will get so much negative karma on top of what we are still paying from 2016 and I won’t be able to live with the guilt.
