    I saw it in the news and it reminded me of that huge one that exploded over Russia in 2013. Could you imagine if the Russia one happened now instead of back then?

    It was expected by NASA, and it happened over Niagara Falls. Lake Ontario has a funny habit for fireballs.

    It's tedious and feels like magic. I understand why for the process but recipes vary in the steps. I feel like I have to re learn it every time.

    I have a fuckton of tomato sauce. Id normally be lazy and just freeze it but I'm running out of freezer space. Not buying a new deep freezer since we might move.

    Makes sense.

    I have to say my new standup freezer I got from Costco last year on some major sale was so worth it... between that, and the 250 plastic freezer soup containers I bought from some restaurant supply store, means that so much of what I do now gets frozen and saved for later.

    Where do you all stand on this list?

    I say no to chimpanzee and everything below kangaroo. I think I could beat 'some' kangaroo, not all, but I say yes anyway.

    I say no to chimp and lower. Straight up. Most of them are a "fuck no", even.

    Not going to happen.

    People are deluded, yo.

    I think you underestimate yourself with the Cobra and Kangaroo. I feel like we've all seen enough of their behaviors on animal planet to put up a fight against them.

    You got this, dude!

    I commend you for preparing your wedding toast in advance and not just winging it.

    no to large dog and lower. I hesitate even with the medium sized dog and cat, because those bites are not something I wanna fuck around with. The talons on eagles are also especially nasty, but if this were a fight to the death, I'm pretty sure I could use whatever was in my environment to knock that fucker out of the sky, then once it's on the ground the beast with legs wins. Kangaroos fight by attempting to castrate their opponents with their kicks -- fuck that.

    Kangaroo would fuck me up. I'd rather fight the King Cobra than an Eagle. Have you seen an Eagle up close? Those talons will ruin your day.

    I think the guy below got off easy in that fight. With Kangaroo, it's all about the reach. Stay far enough away so they can't reach you, or close enough that they can't get you with a full power kick.

    I feel like chimps are underestimated. If the only question is who wins, a lot of animals can be baited into latching onto one of your arms, and then you just crush their throat with your remaining three limbs. You may take heavy damage, but you're winning. Chimp feels like one of the few that are too smart for that gambit. To be scarier than a chimp, you need to get up into the animals that are just so big it doesn't matter how dumb they are, like lions and bears.

    Crocs are an interesting case. In the water you're 100% fucked, but on land they don't have terribly great agility or endurance stats. It'd be really difficult for them to prevent you from taking their back. What you do once you've got it, I have no idea, but there are plenty of videos of people wrestling crocs and gators.

    Kangaroo you square up and punch that bitch in the mouth:

    I don't want to fight any ape-like creature larger than Ross's pet monkey on Friends.

    I like your style with the Croc, but it's another one I don't ever want to face off against. Chance of death is way too high if you fuck it up.

    Chimps are fucking scary. Stronger than any person, big teeth, and smart. No thanks.

    I think I draw my line above the big dog. I think with some preparation and choice hand weapons I could take down a big dog but I would get totally fucked up in the process. It would have to be a life or death choice to choose to engage an aggressive big dog.

    Like you say about distracting with your arm -- there was an old retired Vietnam vet who hung out at the air hangar with hub's grandpa. There was a big pit bull that was aggressively roaming, and had already attacked at least one person. Mr Complete Fucking Badass allowed it to latch onto his arm and sliced its throat under his arm quickly. Done.

    Also, Brits seem to smartly appreciate the ferocity that is goose way more than their American counterparts.

    Geese are assholes, but against an apex primate 20 times their size, they don't stand a chance. Even Gam-gam can 1:1 a goose without taking damage:
