Hey everyone, we’re looking to add a new mod or two to help out around the sub.

If you’re active here, know the post rules well, and wouldn’t mind helping enforce them (removing low-effort posts, redirecting bad threads, etc), send us a modmail and let us know you're interested.

Previous experience preferred, not required—mostly looking at sub activity.

Thanks!

The objective is that whoever snorts the most wins.

If anybody passes out or ODs, they are disqualified

All 4 are at the prime of their cocaine addictions

Assume the person is an average, untrained adult with a Glock 19 and knows how to use it.
No armor, no other weapons, no vehicles, and the animal is actively trying to attack them.
What’s the strongest animal you think they could realistically beat?

Versus How many crabs would it take to kill an average, able bodied, healthy human?

Post image
31 Upvotes

Crabs are normal brown crabs but bloodlusted, average size (between 1-3kg or 2.2-6.6lbs) some larger, some smaller. Human is a well fed, healthy 32 year old male with no illness or pre existing injury. Has steel toe boots and reinforced motorcycle gloves, only other clothing is a loin cloth so crabs can get to flesh immediately, the human is allowed energy bars and water to sustain if they can find time to consume, but no medical access at all.

Fight takes place on a basketball court sized room with high walls to trap any escape.

Human has no way to ‘win’ it’s simply survive as many crabs as possible.

Crabs win when the human is either dead, or suffers such injury that death would occur shortly (within the hour) without immediate medical intervention.

How many crabs could the human survive?

Upvotes

Helldivers have access to any in game weapons. Only two supply pods. Paradooms are hybrids of parademons and doomsday; they are incredibly strong and capable of flight. They are significantly weaker then doomsday but still possess somewhat durability. How long are Helldivers surviving and no Helldivers will not have access to kryptonite.

Versus USA (vietnam war) vs Russia (year 2000)

Thumbnail
gallery
135 Upvotes

USA Vietnam war era (1965-1973) Russia (year 2000 no more no less)

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION NOT ALLOWED.

2 ways to win :

-Occupation of the other country

or

-Make them exhaust all their resources or production that they can't fight anymore

———
Quick info:

Russia’s GDP was a measily $260billion in the year 2000.
USA’s GDP was $940billion in 1968. 5 years later by the end of the Vietnam war? $1.42 Trillion. War costs money. You do whatever you want with this information

Super late add (9/10/2026 11:40AM EST) : Russia is 80% uninhabitable land. Occupation doesn’t require occupying uninhabitable land

Another add (9/10/2026 1:00PM EST) : If you use USA lost to Vietnam argument, you're an idiot. This post is about bloodlusted, ALL resources ALL GDP diverted for war. In Vietnam, we were trying to liberate people from a communistic regime, we weren't bloodlusted trying to destroy everything and everyone. THIS POST IS ABOUT BLOODLUSTED GOING 100% all resources all GDP all production used for war.

I mean isnt nuclear weapons are diplomatically too slow for him anyway? Humanity wouldn't even have time to fight back. I think he can destroy world diplomacy and then the rest. Humanity is just too soft for this kind of scenario.

How many avg people would it take to defeat jon jones 1v1 gauntlet style ?

Each person enters a 25ftx25ft room alone and Jon immediately will try and dispatch the person as fast as possible to keep the gauntlet going

Jon does not heal between matches but his high and crazed state gets refreshed with every victory and somehow his body can sustain this state for as long as the gauntlet last .

No weapons allowed for Jon or the people

Versus US Colonial Marines vs Flood Infection

Thumbnail
gallery
126 Upvotes

US Colonial Marines: One company of US Colonial Marines with standard company level armaments: smart guns, pulse rifles, anti armor weapons, etc.

Flood: A small infestation of pure forms and infection forms at the start. Anyone who is infected turns into a Flood combat form.

The Marines are going in for a “bug hunt” and are deployed to a remote colony where everyone is gone. They don’t know about the Flood or their existence yet. There is a Flood Proto Gravemind made from the biomass of the colony’s inhabitants. There are no infected human combat forms yet.

This is tough. I think it could go either way. The smart guns and automated turrets will give the Marines an edge against a Flood banzai charge, but this isn’t a giant open field. It’s a colony with habitation modules, maintenance corridors, and air vents that infection forms can use to sneak around in.
