    When it falls sound asleep I stab it in a foot or it’s neck or it’s eye.

    I think I eventually do enough damage after it’s hobbled so it bleeds out.

    Humans used to hunt mammoths, and these fuckers don’t even have a thick layer of fur armor. We used to hunt mammoths, because we were so fucking good at it we killed every last one of them.

    I’m using my knife and making an atlatl, some spears smeared in shit, and I’m going hunting. Every time this bastard goes to sleep, he’s getting a spear with a side of gangrene lodged in him. Fucker’s missed out on 60 million years of techtree development, and has no reply to ranged strikes.

      It’s always funny when people overestimate their own ability to fight an animal.

      Yeah bro i could fight a gorilla.

      I don’t think i could, honestly, but spears and shit from the hut would be my best guess. Or wait until it sleeps and ram it through the eye with full force and run like a motherfucker. In movies they often spear big animals and they live for a long time and cause havoc, i would assume a spear through the brain isn’t good no matter the size.

      The real problem is we dont know what a live T-Rex looks like. It could have fur or feathers, it could have wings or wild talons on its hands. What are the odds their arms are as useless as we think they are for real?

        I don’t care if is has feathers, or long grabby arms, I’m waiting for it to fall asleep, and chucking a spear at it, and running, every single time until it dies of bloodloss, gangrene, or exhaustion.

        Does the T Rex even understand what I did? Ranged attacks didn’t exist for 65 million years after it went extinct, does something that evolved to hunt slow, armored herbivores have any response to ranged hit and runs? The many species of megafauna humans hunted to extinction before the invention of writing suggests no.

    Do not leave the hut. Eat like an animal and throw your shit from the hut at the T-Rex’s face. Hopefully it will get sick and perish on it’s own from explosive T-Rex diarrhea.

    Scenario didn’t say you had to stay in the hut, or that you couldn’t leave the the arena, or that others couldn’t do the fighting for you with other weapons.

    I would wait and hide, allowing the T-Rex to tire itself out. Then one night, when the T-Rex was especially tired and soundly asleep, I would carefully climb into the T-Rex’s cloaca. There I would stay for the rest of the month.

    That’s it, you can keep the 500 million. I’ve already won.

    I will craft a rudimentary instrument using any materials available in my hut and using my very high charisma I will seduce the beast.

    I think some of the other suggestions are better, but my first thought was burying the knife in its food supply (assumings it’s being given like entire dead cows or something) and hoping it takes a big enough bite to swallow it.

    I imagine that blade going through the digestive track has a good chance to kill it.

        I can’t imagine killing a hippopotamus with a knife. I don’t care if it’s sleeping well after I attempt to attack it. One result, every time.

        Now I’m imagining a far more dangerous monster, several times larger and faster. Yeah, it’s just not a weapon in my mind.

        Meh, the esophagus is certainly tough enough for that but stomach acid can do a number on bones. The story is different for metal depending on stuff I don’t know much about, but I imagine a quality blade would stand a good chance. And intestines should be softer than bone. And depending on how fast they digest, you might get a few tries at least… Idk I think it’s a decent plan really

    Do I get to choose the food and can I use it towards the production of improvised weapons, including chemical and bio weapons? Can I stay in the hut and throw things outside the hut?

    If yes, sure.

    Alternatively: is the t-rex provided food during this time?

      If I can choose the food I’ll eat 120 barrels of ammonium nitrate stored extremely closely together, 1 ton of tnt, percussion caps, enough wire to rig it all and a firing unit that leads into my indestructible bunker.

    Keep feeding the t-rex with my unlimited supply of food. It will overeat and get lazy.

    I’ve seen it happen with birds. If they eat too much you can just walk over and pick them up.
