Not an allegory for something else. Actual rat.

80 years ago, 19 year olds were flying and commanding bombers in the biggest war in history. Now,...

Strong women can't even pass the Army strength test, yet 6% believe they can beat a grizzly?

Sexist that they ordered the graph by responses from men instead of responses from women.

ETA:
In all seriousness, I just realized that the only place where men and women differ, at least in ranking, is for the cobra. Just hints at how much snake predation has shaped our evolutionary history.

Also apparently women like their chances against lions better than men do.

That's probably accurate since most people are NPCs and have 1d4 hit points.

Rats bite for 1 hp damage and force a Con save versus disease...


So that seems accurate...now, a giant rat or aurumvorax or the like would rend a normie limb from limb

Chimpanzee would be last on my list I’d rather fight.

Not that I would have more of a chance against several of those but the chimp may make it take a long time to die.

They seem to like to rip the face off then fingers and toes first.

Unarmed vs King Corba,

I choose not to fight, walk away is viable here.

I’d like to have a beer with the baws(and bawettes) who feel they could take out the animals on the top of the chart

I've whipped the shite out of some geese and large dogs before out of defensive necessity in the past, but no human alive could take on a chimpanzee, elephant, gorilla or lion in unarmed combat.

How can 68% of women think they can beat a rat when 90% of women are terrified of a common lizard?

As a teen growing up in New Iberia I often saw alligators lying on the road to Avery Island. They look dead but they are sunning themselves. I got out and walked up within 3 feet of a big one I thought was dead. He didn't open his jaws or lift his head. He just emitted a very low tone bass moan. It was like James Earl Jones saying 'Beat it, I'm resting.'
I got back in the car and drove off.

Is this armed or unarmed?

Because if this is unarmed we have a bunch of idiot people out there that would get killed by things.

I find it hard to believe that those numbers are correct either way.

Many people wouldn't want to best a rat in unarmed fight because many wouldn't want the risk of disease.

Anyone thinking they could best a grizzly bear in unarmed fight is crazy.
