Why does Poe's Law have to exist? Why can't the universe just be filled with that many idiots?

Why on earth would you want more idiots in the world?

That's a rather racist remark. Idiots are people to.

How disappointing that this person was not dangerously ill with carbon monoxide poisoning. It would have been so amusing if they were.

I could have sworn there was a thread somewhere for assorted charts, graphs and infographics, but none of those words in the search bar gave me a thread so I guess I was wrong. Anyway, which animals do you think you could beat in a fight?

It really reveals a lot about human nature. You'd think 0% of people would fancy their chances against an elephant and 100% of people would take on a rat, but that seemingly is not true. Also, fascinatingly, more women than men think they could beat up a lion.

I would stop at large dog (and even then, I'm not 100% confident). I have heard cheetahs are weak for a big cat, so that might be my stretch goal or something.

Can king cobras bite through jeans? I assume most people who get bitten are wearing shorts at the time, so even though I'm unarmed, I might be able to take on a cobra if I'm wearing my usual clothes.

Also, I am not in the 24% of men who would lose to a rat, assuming I am wearing shoes. It is very important to me that I don't fight these animals naked.

How big is the crocodile, because I know the theory on tackling crocodiles, and while a big one would probably just throw me off no problem, if you can get the drop on a moderately sized one, it doesn't take much physical strength to disable their primary weapon.

I think they can run a lot faster than they usually do when you see them on TV. I could definitely sit on one and defeat it that way, but I'd have to start from a position of basically straddling it already. If a crocodile can run right at me, my chances would go down considerably.

Those rankings are wrong. I'm pretty sure I could take on an eagle, but a goose is a whole nother story.

Some other remarks:
  • I could probably take on a mid-sized dog if I stood my ground, but I'm kind of afraid of dogs.
  • Weirdly, I'm not all that afraid of wolves and I think I could probably take on a single wolf, though I'd likely come out of it with substantial injuries.
  • What kind of kangaroo? I could probably take one of the smaller wallabies or a tree kangaroo, but a red kangaroo is a very different story.
  • Like Carrie says, taking on a crocodile would depend on the context. It's extremely easy to hold the jaws of even the largest crocodilians shut, but depending on the species and context, it might or might not be reasonable to get close enough to pull that off. I like my chance with a Morelets crocodile on land, but a Nile crocodile in the river means I'm toast.
  • I want a comparison between Australians and non Australians in terms of who thinks they can take on an emu.

Ah but the real question is... Can a caveman take on a spaceman?
