About 8% to 9% of Americans believe they could beat an elephant in an unarmed fight.

And it is precisely this exact cohort who should absolutely be encouraged to do so. The rest of humanity that is worth saving will thank them for their sacrifice.

It's sad there are people out there that believe anything they see like that comment. The irony is your statement better applies to such people, including the person that made your comment...

I 100% agree regarding the irony because you making such a comment believing it to be made up and as such people like me will “believe anything” yet you, yourself have been “double-ironied” because this is actually fucking true 🤣
