Jesus, just for the bragging rights.

(Many scholars believe him to be a real person, but with a bit overstating and inaccurate literature associated with him)

BUT if he was real and actually worked as a carpenter, he may be super jacked, even without any magical powers.

[โ€“] Kittenstix 2 points 1 year ago

Idk that anybody from the era of regular famines can qualify as 'jacked'

Unfortunately, that's Mike Tyson.

How has nobody said Hitler or Stalin? You bunch of Communist Nazis.

[โ€“] akp 6 points 1 year ago

I was wondering the same thing lol. I'll take on Hitler. Maybe use a bat like in that one scene in Inglourious Basterds

Anyone living or dead? Definitely dead. I think I could reliably win a fight against a dead guy.

[โ€“] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I know I probably won't win a fight with most adults, so I'd probably go with Stephen Hawking in his wheelchair just so I can easily win.

Though, if it's him in his prime I'd have to fight, I'd change my answer to just any old random baby that died of SIDS just so I can win and feel good about it.

Matt Walsh. As much shit as that guy talks about LGBTQ people = groomers, you just know that this gross fucking turd has some interesting "research" saved on his hard drive. Outside of Steven Crowder I've never seen someone project so hard as this creep

Fucking Abbott. He started the ruining of women's abortion rights after roe v wade was overturned and everyone followed suit. I'd fight Kemp too cause he's also ruining things. My friends are afraid of dying form bot being able to get an abortion and child victims of rape don't have access anymore.

Ron DeSantis.

I'm angrier at Rupert Murdoch, but DeSantis would have more of a positive effect.

Just fight? Nobody. Fight to death? Probably Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un or Ali Hosseini Khamenei.

Roger stone. Cut that Nixon tattoo right out of his back.

[โ€“] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

About 75,000 years ago humans almost went extinct. I'd fight whomever their John Conner was.

[โ€“] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Their John Connor was you coming back in time to try to save them.

Its a twist!

Gandhi. And we'd do it playing Tekken.

[โ€“] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Would you be snuggled up in bed with him?

Gotta beat Henry Kissinger to death with my bare hands

Abraham Lincoln.

Not for any reasons against the man, or the expectation that I have even half a hope of getting a solid strike in, but I've read of the man's fighting and wrestling experience. They like bringing up his long build as an advantage.

Me and Lincoln are going to fight the proper Orang way. On the deck of a ship in open waters, with a single knife each. We can come to an agreement on victory conditions.

Nice try Tyler. I pick Gandhi.

French president Chirac, for laying waste to my home and its members.

[โ€“] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Nice try, fbi

Assuming that I'm allowed to kill, and that the person would historically die at the age I fight them:

  1. Living: Ali Hosseini Khamenei. I believe of all tyrants in the modern world, only his death would be productive, due to the existing societal unrest. Cunts like Putler, Xi and Kim would just get instanly replaced, killing Ali might actually topple or atleast destabilise the regime.

  2. Dead: Hitler. No comment.

Otherwise:

  1. Living: Putin. I hate the petite mouthbreather and whooping his Funko Pop-sized ass is going to feel orgasmic. (besides, he's so old and fragile by now that even if I don't kill him, he might get brain damage or straight up die from the beating later).

  2. Dead: Bruce Lee. No point, but it'd be fun as fuck.

EDIT: Formatting and spelling.

Ben Shapiro or Rupert Murdoch.

[โ€“] Kittenstix 1 points 1 year ago

Idk man, have you seen Benny Boy's guns?

[โ€“] Skoobie@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Zaslav. You don't get to just take away Batgirl. Honestly, I don't even care about the legal consequences part of this question. I would sucker punch that man at noon on the courthouse steps given the opportunity. And at my hearing for early release, I'd do it again.

Anne Frank, Iโ€™m a cautious guy when it comes to fighting

Elon Musk, he's taller but I'm fitter and younger. Winner gets all the money.

[โ€“] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

Can I fight myself? Like a clone, not like Fight Club or Liar Liar.

Shoving Robert Moses into a locker
