Was talking about this with my partner while on a hike, they think they couldn’t take ni more than 8 While I said I thought i could take at least 30. No weapons, just you and the squirrels.
A straight fight when I am out hiking? Yeah 30 sounds reasonable out of a mob before you wear down, but I would definitely run away to get better tools for the squirrelpocalypse
I would use my human strengths and lure them out in waves by speed walking/jogging into middle of fields or similar open areas. regardless I would get them away from trees or other things they could use to jump down onto me. once I level their attacks to the ground, there I would kick and stomp my way to an endurant victory as they’d surely use some energy to escape where hopeful other predators are there to claim there symbiotic prize.
This strategy would likely work against 10-20 at a time. a few waves of them before I am cut down. guessing / hoping for 100 but probably only make it to 50.
if I really got into a squirrel stomping rhythm I bet I could get triple digits.
ok I’ve now given too much thought to this today. edit: now I’m picturing listening to slayer’s war ensemble and just thrashing squirrels around like a mosh pit of guts and chaos.
Your move, Blizzard and Bethesda. This is the boss fight we need.
So basically you’d kite the squirrel mobs
And you said getting blisters from geometry wars was a sign I had a problem. Well who wasted their youth now mom!?
My God, I hope I never find out
No weapons for me or the squirrels?
Both
No weapons
I could probably take down two, but when the third enters the picture I’m toast
I checked with hubs too and he thinks he could handle forty while wearing jeans and good boots
How much time do I have to prepare for the fight?
2, but only if they’re thinking of divorcing each other.
No weapons, just you and the squirrels.
My teeth are terrifying weapons, chrrrr!!
😄
In a fight to death, my only problem would be that I get tired from the fighting, sooner or later. And then they could do some real harm.
On the other hand, I assume that they are not smart enough to apply any special tactics that make use of this, or of their large number (coordinated action etc.)
So I would trust myself against maybe 50 of them.
While I’m pretty good with animals, I think I could only convince maybe two of them to come with me in a fight to the death. But I think that’d be enough of a surprise against the other guy.
1 if they’re rabid, no more than 6 if they’re not.
Zero. I call my husband the squirrel whisperer. He makes a sound that draws the squirrels to him. If we’re in a park and he sits down, i have to walk away - within a few minutes a dozen squirrels will start creeping him and it’s terrifying!
Lie on the ground, tuck head into arms protect face and vitals, aggressively log roll back and forth.
Takes away their extreme agility advantage and uses my mass as a weapon… I think 100 would probably be a pretty fair number.
Everyone who thinks they could take a huge number of squirrels should consider what the jaws of a squirrel look like, how they were made for cracking open hard nuts, and what they could do to you if even one had it in its head to really hurt you:
I don’t think I could take more than a couple at a time, even if they weren’t coordinated in any way.
Ok im scared now.
Wow, never would have guessed that a squirrel can just chomp through my bones
Are they evil attack squirrels of death? If so, one should be plenty.
