I implore anyone thinking of trying this to consider that the Tyrannosaurus rex measured up to 43 feet long, stood about 12 to 13 feet tall at the hip, and weighed roughly 4 to 9 metric tons. Its skull alone could weigh up to 600 pounds, and it had a bite force estimated at 35,000 to 57,000 newtons.
You would be better off with a TSA-approved blade against a Bengal tiger. There is no amount of strategic planning that can compensate for your being so incredibly outclassed that you’d have a better chance at building the first antigravity spaceship in your invincible hut within that same month.
Anyway, I would still probably try, for $500M.
You would never take it in a straight fight, but there’s a very good reason why humans absolutely dominate every animal on earth - our intelligence. The original post is too light on details, but in basically every scenario there almost certainly is some possible way to win that could be figured out.
Research suggests a T-Rex would need 50-100k kCal/day. Even if it ate a whole cow before starting, it would be hurting a week in.
Maybe it could survive the month, but would probably be severely malnourished at that point.
In any event, there is no mention of what happens if I fail to kill it. Does the experiment just end and I go home empty handed, or does the magic hut disappear and we fight it out to the death?
Can I keep the hut?
A hut, in this economy?
The only reason they can offer 500 million is because of the crypto sponsorship
All right, we’ll keep the sponsorship. I’m fine living in the Cypto.com Arena('s Previously Magic Hut).
Whenever the trex is far from the hut, taunt it into charging me, then run to safety. Do this all day, everyday for a month. Let it exhaust itself. Consider dirtying the knife and planting it blade pointing up outside the hut door as a makeshift infectious caltrop. Either it dies of exhaustion or infection.
no mention of the T Rex being provided food, so
I wait in my tent until it is practically dead of hunger or thirst, then I stab it
The T rex must sleep at some point. Find a big artery close to the skin surface, sever it. Watch it bleed out to death.
Or just stay in the hut and enjoy one month of free food and rent.
Can a t rex live a month without food? If they can, then absolutely not.
Me, having a plan:
Then I slice it open from the inside.
Your torso is gonna be RICH!!!
perfect plan.
fake: trex and humans did not coexist
gay: op is gay
Is all that is in the area: trex, you and the hut? No were else to hide… So it can see me from far away.
I hide in the hut stabbing at its nose, it moves far enough away, I taunt it back, rinse and repeat.
It dies of blood loss, or maybe infection.
Spend the entire time digging a hole and building a cover. Then try to trick it into the hole where hopefully it gets stuck and starves
I mean, could a T-Rex eat a human due to it’s size and mobility issues? You might be able to slowly stab it to death if it doesn’t step on you.
I got curious so I briefly looked into it. Here’s a fun article: https://usefulbs.com/scifi/blog/why-would-a-tyrannosaurus-rex-be-physically-unable-to-outrun-a-human-without-its-own-leg-bones-shattering
This looks like slop
thank you for giving me permission not even to click that
You’re right, but it’s probably based on this: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/tyrannosaur-trex-running-speed
