  Depends on the dinosaur. A Spinosaurus would just eat me, but I could beat up a velociraptor.

      A movie one, no. A real one, yes. They were about 40 pounds.

        I definitely wouldn’t be happy about it if I were unarmed, but it’s basically a particularly ferocious goose. A baseball bat would be enough to give me a decent chance at leaving more or less unscathed.

        You think you have defeated it. But then the attack comes. Not from the front, from the sides.

      Real velociraptor was basically a turkey. The movie ones are closer to Utah raptor.

        Yeah, but like a four foot turkey with sharp teeth and talons. I’m not sure I win that fight.

        Like, I’m pretty sure I could beat up a 10 year old kid. That’s about the size (if not the strength) of a velociraptor. But if that kid is all coked up, has kitchen knives in each hand and a football helmet with razors on the face mask, I’m not nearly as confident. Then if there’s a second one waiting to attack from the flank, then fuck that.

      1 maybe. They traveled in gaggles though.

  Anyone could very easily defeat a dinosaur. You can even go and do it today, many of them are weak as fuck with hollow bones.
