Who'd win in a fight: lion, polar bear, orca, giant squid, 3 komodo dragons, African elephant, 400 cats, 10 gorillas w/ baseball bats, 1 kg of Asian giant hornets, 20 kg of fire ants, or a big tree?

  • Since no arena is specified I assume it to be the only logical place.

    In space! (the winner is brought back to their natural habitat)

    Everything else would be unfair to at least one of the parties.

    I think the ants would outlast all the animals and insects. They might freeze solid and (some) might survive the unfreezing after the figh. Or they could form a giant ball where the ones in the middle survive. And who cares if 19kg die.

    On the other hand, the oak would probalby last weeks and could sprout new leaves and roots again if given proper treatment back on earth.

    So ... GO TREE!

  • They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics.

    I said, I had a theoretical degree in physics.

    • dictatorship(in good hands) > democracy > dictatorship(in bad hands)

    Jump

  • Who defines "good hands"?

    How do you assure the dictator stays good (corruption, dementia, general personality shift)?

    What happens if the dictator is no longer good (died, see above, the world has changed and the dictator can not adapt)?

    Sure the dictator can assign ministers for topics outside of their skillset and similar and a head physician to determine when a replacement is needed due to health reasons etc, but a dictatorship is always unnacountable. What if the physician coludes with the vice-dictator to declare the dictator unfit? What if the dictator is actually unfit but accuses the physician of colusion? It has no safety checks against its rulers other than revolution and coup.

    Democracy has flaws but so does dictatorship and they are not limited to "what if dictator evil"
