Probably dead, be a much easier fight that way

You didn't let the real question even touch you right? πŸ’€

Trump. I have relevant experience.

Careful, known crotch grabber.

Experience destroying Cheetos?

Jesus, just for the bragging rights.

(Many scholars believe him to be a real person, but with a bit overstating and inaccurate literature associated with him)

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

BUT if he was real and actually worked as a carpenter, he may be super jacked, even without any magical powers.

Yeah, have you seen him up on that cross? Dude is shredded.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Going for that Jeeeeesus on the cross look

Tucker Carlson.

Partially because of his extreme Backpfeifengesicht, but mostly for his Backpfeifenpersonality.

He usually went by "Ronald Reagan"

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, that's Mike Tyson.

Anyone living or dead? Definitely dead. I think I could reliably win a fight against a dead guy.

[–] Sheltac@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That’s what they always say, but no one considers the starting conditions.

Imagine you’re fighting a dead fat guy. Sounds easy, right? 300kg of dead weight just waiting for you to bury your fists in it.

But now imagine the fat guy starts next to you, standing. Can you stop 300kg of dead flabby dude from burying you? Didn’t think so. You’re gonna die a gruesome suffocating death under some guy’s quadruple chin because you didn’t consider the implications.

Come on. Be better, people.

How has nobody said Hitler or Stalin? You bunch of Communist Nazis.

[–] OccamsTeapot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lenin. I've seen his body he's a little bitch

Stalin would kick my ass.

Think I'd try wrestling with Kaufman.

Hitler got that crackhead energy from all the drugs he on and is a war veteran too. He gonna be scrappy in a fight. And i dont wanna have to go the rest of my life knowing i lost to a man with one testicle.

[–] akp@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I was wondering the same thing lol. I'll take on Hitler. Maybe use a bat like in that one scene in Inglourious Basterds

Matt Walsh. As much shit as that guy talks about LGBTQ people = groomers, you just know that this gross fucking turd has some interesting "research" saved on his hard drive. Outside of Steven Crowder I've never seen someone project so hard as this creep

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know I probably won't win a fight with most adults, so I'd probably go with Stephen Hawking in his wheelchair just so I can easily win.

Though, if it's him in his prime I'd have to fight, I'd change my answer to just any old random baby that died of SIDS just so I can win and feel good about it.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I’m still holding on to a bit of animosity towards that guy Spez.

Gotta beat Henry Kissinger to death with my bare hands

[–] potterpockets@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Woodrow Wilson. Id probably lose, but as long as i got a solid hit in at least itd feel worth it. Fuck Woodrow Wilson.

Ron DeSantis.

I'm angrier at Rupert Murdoch, but DeSantis would have more of a positive effect.

This also holds the hidden potential for the most-humiliating defeat, though.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

About 75,000 years ago humans almost went extinct. I'd fight whomever their John Conner was.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Their John Connor was you coming back in time to try to save them.

No legal consequences? So I could beat them to death?

Easy. Kissinger. The fact he's still breathing doesn't look good for any religion or spirituality's beliefs.

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just fight? Nobody. Fight to death? Probably Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un or Ali Hosseini Khamenei.

Fucking Abbott. He started the ruining of women's abortion rights after roe v wade was overturned and everyone followed suit. I'd fight Kemp too cause he's also ruining things. My friends are afraid of dying form bot being able to get an abortion and child victims of rape don't have access anymore.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Abraham Lincoln.

Not for any reasons against the man, or the expectation that I have even half a hope of getting a solid strike in, but I've read of the man's fighting and wrestling experience. They like bringing up his long build as an advantage.

Me and Lincoln are going to fight the proper Orang way. On the deck of a ship in open waters, with a single knife each. We can come to an agreement on victory conditions.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

Nice try Tyler. I pick Gandhi.

[–] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Anne Frank, I’m a cautious guy when it comes to fighting

French president Chirac, for laying waste to my home and its members.

Shoving Robert Moses into a locker

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ben Shapiro or Rupert Murdoch.

Can I fight myself? Like a clone, not like Fight Club or Liar Liar.

[–] Skoobie@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Zaslav. You don't get to just take away Batgirl. Honestly, I don't even care about the legal consequences part of this question. I would sucker punch that man at noon on the courthouse steps given the opportunity. And at my hearing for early release, I'd do it again.

Elon Musk, he's taller but I'm fitter and younger. Winner gets all the money.

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Nice try, fbi
