The internet is buzzing over a revived hypothetical: could 100 men defeat a gorilla in a fight? First posed in 2020 on Reddit’s r/whowouldwin, the question reemerged on X in April 2024 and quickly spread to TikTok, Facebook, and beyond.
While most agree the gorilla would easily win—citing its raw strength, speed, and durability—some users argue that with enough coordination and determination, the men might stand a chance.
The debate has become more about entertainment than realism, with many embracing it as peak internet humor and a throwback to the chaotic, unserious spirit of old Twitter.
