Could 100 Men Really Beat A Gorilla? The Internet Chimes In

A healthy debate is taking place online on the subject

An online debate has gone viral asking if 100 men can defeat one gorilla.

According to NBC News, the post started by Michael Sherrills, who uses the handle DreamChasnMike on X, formerly known as Twitter, garnered over 290 million views. For whatever reason he started the post, it caught the attention of so many people that, although it was placed online on April 25, people are still discussing and giving their opinion on it.

“i think 100 n**gas could beat 1 gorilla everybody just gotta be dedicated to the sh**”

People immediately started to respond and made predictions on who would win. Yet, you had many who stated they’d volunteer, but they’d have to be closer to the 100th person to have a chance to survive against the gorilla. Most of those who felt this way are banking on the gorilla being so fatigued that the person would have a better opportunity to emerge victorious against the animal.

You also had some people posting about the aftermath of the potential gathering to see if 100 men can beat one gorilla.

One poster did some research to determine that one gorilla would win based on what he discovered about the force of a gorilla’s hit. He was seemingly predicting that the fight wouldn’t last that long.

However, an inquiry from X’s A.I. model, Grok 3, provided a more realistic response that potential volunteers should look at before committing to such a futile attempt.

Even Mr. Beast, who boasted 32.5 million X followers, joined in when he stated he was looking for men to join his crusade to actually find 100 guys to embark on this journey with him.

Even Aldi had an opinion about the debate.

The media outlet spoke to the 25-year-old Sherrills to find out what sparked the conversation.

“The thing people love the most is things that probably won’t ever happen because you can debate about it,” Sherrills said. “It’s like tasting a dream, you know what I’m saying? And I think people love to feel it out.”

Although he posed the statement after viewing a TikTok video about a gorilla, Sherills admits that with all the responses posted, he has learned a lot more about them than he could ever imagine.
