The internet can be quite a mixed experience. On one side, it hosts scams, false information, and even online harassment. On the other side, it can act as a positive force—gathering support for local businesses or aiding people in finding romance. Sometimes, though, it just turns utterly absurd.

Take for instance: the latest trending discussion on X (formerly Twitter), where users are passionately debating whether 100 individuals could overpower a gorilla in combat. Yes, you read that right.

This ridiculous scenario has triggered a wave of nostalgia for the internet’s past—think Buzzfeed quizzes and the peak of Weird Twitter—when users often engaged in strange debates purely for enjoyment. These “who would win” discussions have been a long-standing feature of online culture.

The current dialogue started with a tweet from @DreamChasnMike, who posited that it could be feasible for 100 individuals to defeat a gorilla—if, as he expressed, “everybody just gotta be dedicated to the shit.”

From that point onward, the internet did what it excels at: it embraced the concept. Replies flooded in, ranging from comedic to surprisingly thoughtful. Some users with genuine knowledge of primates even contributed, adding a layer of pseudo-scientific credibility to the mayhem.

Even YouTuber MrBeast, famous for his extravagant challenges, jokingly proposed to set up the clash.

So, could 100 unarmed individuals actually take down a gorilla? According to Rolling Stone, which consulted several primate specialists, the answer is… perhaps, but it wouldn’t be a pleasant sight. The general agreement? It would necessitate an alarming degree of dedication and a readiness to incur significant losses. As @DreamChasnMike stated, the sign-up sheet might need to say: “IF U AINT READY TO D I E DONT SIGN UP.”

Fortunately, this remains just a topic of internet discussion. No gorillas—or people—will be harmed in the creation of this meme.
