Discussion Which would you rather fight: five duck-sized lions or one lion-sized duck?

[.............]

I usually see outlandish numbers for the smaller-sized animals, so let's lessen it.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

The lion-sized duck is a single, easier-to-hit target than five tinier, agile predators.

Would taste better too.

 

[OctoberDusk]

I'll go with the big duck. A billowing quack would be more amusing than tiny roars as the last thing I hear.

 

[Al_stargate]

Giant duck would be extremely scary while five small baby lions would just be a cuddle, no danger whatsoever.

 

[Alex6216]

Animals are gigantic pussies, both would be very easy to deal with but duck-sized lions would be the easier option. Duck-sized lions are basically house-cats and house-cats are really easy to scare

 

[Al Cappella]

Give me five ankle-biters any day…

 

[Cathy Ames]

Girl, you made me literally LOL, and that isn't easy to do right now! I truly love you.

 

[MellowAvenue]

I'll fight the kittens. Ain't no way I'm fucking with a big version of this beast…

 

[Quiet Desperation]

Can I bring a loaf of bread or is this Naked and Afraid style?

 

[Banshee]

So, pretty much 5 house cats lol

 

[rationaltake]

I'd love five duck-sized lions. Or even one.

 

[stygal]

I would definitely be scared of either of these creatures.

I keep my distance from wild flying animals since I was attacked by geese, a swan and ducks as a child.

Cats at the vet are also pretty vicious.

But ultimately I chose the one lion-sized duck because I might get away with slaying a singular animal.

 

[narval]

Give me a stick. I'll beat that giant duck or die in the fight. win-win situation
Because smack kittens is a BIG NO

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

As a lion-sized duck, I think a lot of you have some serious balls. That's not a good thing. I'll kick your asses.

[Someone123]

I'd rather be friends with either of them.

 

[Feeding Pigeons]

I'd rather be friends with either of them.

Totally agree.

You guys who are saying the big duck are out of your minds though. That duck is gonna have a field day with you.

 

[Suicidebydeath]

My gaming senses say that I would have a better chance against the duck-sized lions if they have bad AI and I can just jump onto an elevated surface to avoid their attacks. I've been playing too much (not enough?) Dark and Darker.

Also my first thought is how much a lion-sized duck beak is going to hurt.

Wait this is May 26th, how did I get here?

 

[Forever Sleep]

Think ducks usually eat pond weed, insects and some crustaceans- so- I'd go with the duck I reckon. Even little lions could put on a coordinated attack...

Still, I'd likely die of a heart attack brought on by shock and trying to run away (backwards in the case of the lions- you never turn your back and run from a big cat- or, 5 little big cats) so- I'd likely end up dead either way... Great post though- thanks.

 

[CowsAgainstCapitali]

I could absolutely kick a lion sized duck, but duck sized lions? My housecats? Nah, I could never harm them. Objectively though, fighting g the tiny lions would be easy. A giant duck would kill you in a not at all peaceful way.

 

[Cathy Ames]

Awwwww... I have really missed @suicidol (apparently now @............. ?). I hope she is okay.

 

[wait.what]

Duck-sized lions are basically house-cats and house-cats are really easy to scare

I dunno, a freaked-out housecat slashed my wrist once. The scar lasted months, and totally looked like a failed attempt to ctb. ("Remember kids, it's down the road, not across the street!") I'm sure there were people who assumed I was lying about how I got the cut, and fair enough, given my chronic suicidality. But that time it really was the goddamn cat.

Give me the giant duck any day.
