Bear, poisoned slowly over the preceding month, and then grab the geese by their necks and swing their bodies in a circle to snap their vertebrae. Done. Easiest 10.2 mil.

Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make!

Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

geese
Geese for sure. They're made of bird and thus have hollow bones that easily breaks when kicked. Hell, give me 10 geese at the same time
What kind of bear are we talking? If it's a sun bear sure, anything other no.
Brown bear
They can run about 60 km/h so even if I get a bow they'd fuck me up in an instant. Geese it is
I guess this is probably stretching the definition of a weapon but I have to imagine there's some sort of snare or net trap that I could learn to set up effectively in a month. From there either the bear starves or injures itself in such a way that it's not a big risk to me
That's an innovative idea.
In my mind you both were released into an arena so its funny imagining rushing to set up a net in a hurry
Crossbow was invented in the BC's. Or a solid spear really.
No ranged weapons
Ah ah, no modifying the terms after the initial statement.
Besides, @Stern@lemmy.world 's early prototype crossbow won't do them much good unless they have the upper body strength to draw it, which basically required lifelong training to do effectively.
Same goes for the spear - not much good if you don't have the strength to push it through the ribcage into the heart. Anything else is just going to make the bear angrier.
Bear spears are usually used in a way that you just plant it in the ground and let the bear run into it, hopefully piercing its heart! Or else you have a pissed of bear about a metre from your face lmao So a bear spear is viable if you are brave, dumb, steady and knows where to aim it
'You poked my heart'
Good thing I can still pick a spear then.
Personally I'd be fucked vs a bear, even with a spear
I feel like a month of spear training you'd have a decent chance. Not as high as against the geese where you just grab by the neck and smash, but not infinetesimal either.
I'll take both, set the bear on the geese and reap the rewards. The bear gets to live too, and gets lunch!
Eh, that's still a wide range of weaponry there.
Not gonna fuck with a bear at my age and health level though. Geese all blood raged would be doable at least. Not easy, but at least when a goose lands a hit, it isn't going to leave you crippled and fucked.
Yeah geese are much easier to fuck up
Just give me the geese
I will take the bear and spend the month digging a pit which the bear must cross to reach me, and filling that pit with a mixture of sulfur, pitch and oil which will stick to the bear and catch fire quickly.
I'm imagining you both being released into a gladiator style arena
Oh, well even easier then. The Colosseum's floor is already hollow, and at one point in its history they removed the floor panels and filled it up with water to re-enact naval battles. All I need to do is prep a line across it as a moat, fill it with the flammable mixture, then chuck a torch into it.
