    We survive because they’re tiny. If my cat were lion-sized, I’d be dead or at least missing an arm or two. It also helps that she’s opposed to firearms … and anti-nuke.

      Possibly not. Unlike the housecat, lions aren’t domesticated. If you took a housecat who already knew and liked you and made it lion-sized, you might be okay…depending on the cat and whether you kept them well-fed.

      If your cat likes roughhousing with you, though, yeah, you might be in trouble.

      I read or saw this so long ago and it just stuck with me, humans are built pretty terribly. Like yes we can get strong but even a pro weightlifter would get annihilated but a gorilla. However we can nuke that gorillas home or shoot it with a rifle cus our strength is intelligence. Also humans pretty much have an infinite stamina glitch so as long as whatever is hunting us isn’t able to catch up we can just kind of keep walking
