This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I have this theory that with proper technique, you can beat anything you can lift in a fight. That being said, Gorillas are too heavy to lift. Conversely, you'll likely have extreme difficulty fighting anything that's too heavy for you to lift. Anything with natural weapons, like sharp teeth, this rule of thumb likely also doesn't apply to. Anything larger than a cat should be considered dangerous by default.

Lots of creatures within the realm of benchable weight often have specialized defenses that could constitute a 1-hit KO if you fuck up in the slightest.

A chimp could rip your arms off. A kangaroo could crack all your ribs with a kick.

If you consider these "natural weapons" then sure, I guess that just limits you to fighting juvenile cows or something, at which point I'll give it to you, I could probably take a newborn calf in a fight.

If you attack a calf, their mother will fuck you up, though. I suppose the lesson here is that humans should use weapons to fight animals.

Or just set up a trap so the target will fall on it while you're running away. Don't fuck up
