Not a very big tiger compared to the goose. I think tigers get a lot bigger than that one.

True, but might still not have mattered. The best defense a goose or even us have against something we have zero chance against is if we’re the first of our species it’s ever seen, it has no idea what we are capable of (or not capable of). So it’s our best and only chance to scare it off

could 100 gorillas beat 1 goose?

Lol

Could one Khabib beat one gorilla?

From my FB feed (I really want to live in an era where AI could simulate this fight perfectly):

On December 22nd 1968 after completing their mission team 1C3 was waiting to be heli-lifted from the area. Bad weather conditions had prevented immediate pickup and the team had posted a two man radio watch while the others settled in to get some shuteye.

The tiger struck silently and swiftly. It had jumped onto and was attacking Sgt. Goolden. It then jumped into a bomb crater still holding Sgt. Goolden. The rest of the team pursued the tiger to the crater where they opened fire and killed it. Sgt. Goolden then staggered out of the crater and was given first aid treatment and a medical evacuation helicopter was called for. Shortly thereafter a Marine CH-46 picked up Sgt. Goolden, the rest of the team and the dead tiger. Sgt. Goolden was taken to 3rd Medical BN. hospital suffering lacerations and bites on the neck.

The team and tiger went to 3rd Recon Bn. Hdqtrs. where the tiger was placed on display from a 10ft. scaffold outside of Charlie Company’s administration office. It measured 9 feet and weighed 400 pounds. MajGen. Raymond G. Davis, Commanding General, 3rd Marine Division, and Assistant Division Commander, BrigGen. Robert B. Carney, Jr., examined the huge beast and congratulated Team 1C3 for killing the animal.

Graphic warning

These are the photos of when they got to base.

Trust me it helps with girls as well, but moreso if you go from out of shape to in shape. Just going from average to in shape won’t be as big of a benefit in the dating department

I think so

Healthy body healthy mind.

It is meant to be a wellbeing mantra, but I suppose it is also a flex - a healthy body likely demonstrates a healthy mind.

Yes! Exactly

All that matters is the mind, the body is just a downstream byproduct. And luckily, the mind is probably far more malleable than the body!

Always felt like there was something going on with my stomach near my belly button, for years now. My abs never looked quite right

Well, finally got the nerve to see a Dr who ordered an ultrasound for me. And turns out, I was right: I’m pregnant

With a small little hernia. I decided to name him Hermie. He’s just a widdle guy, and he’s shy, you can’t see him at all, nor does my belly button protrude or anything

Right now, he’s less than 1 cubic cm. But like any baby boy, he’s going to get bigger. Sometimes when I’m bent over at an angle picking up a 45lb plate at the gym or somethin, I can feel him move and kick a little. He’s going to grow up to be a soccer player boy I think, my little Hermie

Hernias are incredibly common in the fitness community when doing heavy lifting; your abdominal wall is always going to be extremely thin compared to other muscles. What frustrates me is I actually train abs consistently, unlike fitness influencers like Greg Doucette who says he doesn’t feel he needs to train abs because they are used in so many dynamic lifts like deadlifts and squats (which I also do). But regularly training abs didn’t save me. I think it actually happened due to some bad coughing fits I had years ago tbh

My uncle has had a hernia for like two decades now. With baby boy Hermie’s size, a lot of guys just ignore them. My issue is that I’m about them aesthetics, and carrying Hermie around is fucking with that. It pushes my stomach out very slightly, making me look a tiny bit fatter than I really am. Which is annoying, because I go through a lot to keep my fat down to a certain low amount, mostly for the looks

So I might get that surgery where they do the mesh net. But I can’t get it done before I go to SD for a week at the end of this month. So I’m going to still get as aesthetic as I can before then, and maybe get the surgery sometime after I get back. Sucks to have to take a month off to recover. But lost muscle is very easily regained. The RP fitness channel did a video on muscle memory, and lost muscle can be re-grown at up to 10x the rate of original growth

So I might still do a progress pic in less than 2 weeks before the trip. But for now, here’s the ultrasound summary. And who said men can’t get pregnant? Of course there’s no father, so I guess I must be the male version of mother Mary [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
