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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Trump. I have relevant experience.

Tucker Carlson.

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

He usually went by "Ronald Reagan"

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately, that's Mike Tyson.

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

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

Stalin would kick my ass.

Think I'd try wrestling with Kaufman.

[–] akp@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years 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

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rupert Murdoch.

I think he has single-handedly done more to screw our generation and planet than anyone else could or would do.

Plus, I'm reasonably confident I would win, which is a big plus.

+1. I don't even wanna fight him - just a single punch to his stupid face would make me feel a lot better.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] Sheltac@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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.

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.

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Mitch McConnell. I'd slap his turtle head right back into it's shell.

Ron DeSantis.

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

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] orangeNgreen@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The actor that played Grandpa Joe.

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

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

Its a twist!

Gotta beat Henry Kissinger to death with my bare hands

[–] Treefox@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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 2 years ago (2 children)

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

Roger stone. Cut that Nixon tattoo right out of his back.

Shoving Robert Moses into a locker

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years 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 6 points 2 years ago

Nice try Tyler. I pick Gandhi.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Ben Shapiro or Rupert Murdoch.

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

"Gandhi" - Narrator

[–] Skoobie@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

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