Not sure who these foolishly brave Americans are who think they can beat an elephant and a grizzly bear bare handed.
I really want to know what they think they’d be doing to the eagle.
Birds have fragile bones. They’re going to fuck you up, but victory is certain.
A horse? Seriously? No way can this guy win against a horse. Have you seen horses? They’re huge.
When people say stuff like this, I assume they never lived much outside of cities, and never had much contact with animals, besides pets. Seriously, a horse? Even smaller animals can be a challenge. Most animals are stronger and/or faster than us, and have fangs, claws, etc.
A horse is just an intense will to die on four legs. You can defeat a horse by feeding it after it runs around for a little while.
Fast too! And have you counted the legs?? DOUBLE the number, I shit you not!
Thank you for not shitting me, that sounds more unpleasant than fighting a horse…
Idunno, some people pay good money for that sort of thing 🤷
Fighting horses right?
That too.
Let me try, let me try:
Lemmings, would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or 1 horse sized duck?
Bring on the horde of duck-sized horses!
On Lemmy, it’s the celebrities who asks lemmings the dumb questions!
Obviously the duck-sized horses, that’s not even a fight. What amounts to pretty much a t-rex, on the other hand…
Nah, ducks have hollow bones, making them pretty crap in physical combat against creatures that don’t. As long as you can avoid the beak, you should be fine.
Duck-sized horses, on the other hand, would still be faster and stronger than humans even if it’s scaled 1:1 relative to horse size vs duck size and there’s a hundred of them! You’d be swarmed in no time!
Are horse legs actually fragile, or does it take a lot of effort to break one?
If fragile, I think people are overcomplicating this. You’ll probably get fucked up in the process, but once the horse is crippled your grim deed is done. If they’re not fragile and you’ll need to seriously wrassle them down to exert enough force, you’re almost certainly dead.
You mean like, fighting a horse by punching it? No that fucker gonna kill you. You might win if you have a spear and you know how to use it. But if it gets to you with it’s hooves you’ve lost.
Now if you can convince the horse you’re a lot scarier than you are, it might do what you want it to.

Only reason why they don’t kill us on sight after all we’ve put them through: for all their amazing physical prowess, they’re also easily spooked idiots 😂
Uh, no. And one kick can kill you
Horses can kick forwards, backwards and sideways. They can rear up to about 12 ft tall and stomp your head.
Plus they weigh about 1200-1600 lbs, although percherons weigh much more.
Does my prep time involve sourcing weapons? I think a sledgehammer would do the trick if I can hide out at the fight zone prior to the horse arriving then sneak attack.
You really have spent no time around horses have you?
Or sledgehammers. Or sneak attacks. 😂
Well stay clear and you’ll be fine. Both horses and sledge hammers are sneaky enough as it is.
Are you sure sledge hammers are the things you’re thinking of? The big heavy things used to smash stuff? 😂
Note, they are actually much larger than the average silicon version of it. The largest I could find was 43 cm long, which is OK to take. But normally, they’re ~1 m when e… oh wait, you mean “take” as in “win against”, nvm.
