Is it wild that some people really believe 100 unarmed men could beat a silverback gorilla?

Saw this trending online people arguing whether 100 unarmed men could take down a gorilla.
Some folks truly think it’s possible.

Is this about ego? Internet bravado? Or just meme culture going too far?

    100 people would win, you are just vastly underestimating the power of a human, especially in a life-or-death situation. A gorilla isn’t King Kong, 588 lbs isn’t that much compared to 1750 lbs (approximately what 100 people would weigh). Think about a hundred people together, it’s too much. That gorilla wouldn’t have the necessary energy

    My only question is what is the endurance of a gorilla? Pile on the mass and it may be questionable.

    Because the gorilla would lose lol. They have abysmal stamina. Yes, probably about 40-50 guys will die, but the humans will win off sheer strength of numbers (we’re assuming no one runs away after the first dozen or so guys get ripped apart).
