    The Tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park because first of all, I’m actually pretty sure I’d be fine so long as I can get in my car and drive away at a reasonable pace. Secondly, just think of the absolutely incredible collateral damage. Even if I get killed, it would be one of the most talked-about and confusing incidents in American history for the rest of time.

    I wanted to say Freddy, because 24 hours without sleep would be easy-peasy. …then I realized Im not a teenageer anymore and would probably take a nap anyways.

      This would work with a small investment in hard drugs before hand. Depends on how much prep time and street cred you have.

        I’m an old boring dude, but if I got off caffeine for a week before hand, I’d have no trouble stay awake after my second cup that day.

      Yeah it’s early afternoon here and I just realized that I someone told me I had to stay awake for the next 24 hours, I wouldn’t make it.

              Actually physically addicted? Probably not. And you’d only need one, maybe two hits (assuming oral consumption, not smoked or IV) spread out over your 24 hours to get through it. However, the euphoric rush from the Meth would be pretty intense (the dopamine release is 5x-10x that of Adderall) and most of the dangers are from chronic use, so if you’re the kind of person who’s prone to risk-taking, it’s possible you could wind up rationalizing the risks away and continuing to use it, and wind up truly addicted down the road. This is basically the route most addicts take. There aren’t any substances that are so addictive that one use gets you physically hooked.

              It might be especially easy to fall down this path if you’re now a multi-billionaire and no longer have a need to work and thus need to find something new to occupy your time.

                Just buy three pills of Adderall XR. I’m sure you would be able to get someone to sell you three pills in exchange for $1,000,000-$10,000,000 the day after tomorrow.

    Chucky just to prove to yall how easy it would be to defeat that doll. Shit, with $3b I’d pay Messi to kick him in a furnace on PPV and probably come out with even more money just off subs alone

      Wasn’t one of his big things that he was supernaturally strong and resilient? It wasn’t just a doll; It was a doll that was possessed by the ghost of a serial killer. So there was some supernatural aspect to it that made it harder to destroy than most people would expect.

        If you go by the early versions he is limited by his physical doll-form. He can’t fly, teleport, drive, etc. and he’s not really that strong, or fast.

        If you knew about him and that he was coming after you, it shouldn’t be that difficult.

            Naww, don’t you remember those few scenes with Chucky running past the camera? He can at least do 10 miles an hour on foot. Also he does know how to operate vehicles. He’s a serial killer stuck in a doll, not a magical doll with few human skills.

    The predator does not kill children or pregnant women. Predator 2 showed that. A kid with a toy UZI spotted the predator with his light bending and as a precaution the predator armed his shoulder cannon, but upon sensing it was not a real gun he disarmed it.

    Also the subway showed he found a fetus developing in a woman and immediately released her.

        That all looks like just more thermal imaging? Though it’s been yeaaaaars since I’ve seen Pred 2 so I have no memory of what it’s supposed to be story wise.

            Ahh, so presumably, while the literal footage is just more thermal imagery, story wise it was more than that? Thanks for confirming.

              Yeah, not sure if the imagery is all just the same thing in different colors or not, but the full scene’s in this clip. He sees their flashlight beams in the last view mode used.

    The Refregirator (yeah, it’s a thing: https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt0102767/), It’s a haunted / gate of hell fridge attacking a couple who just moved in a shitty appartment. Even if you unplug it, it still tries to eat you or send his minions (toaster, blender…) so I’ll surely die horribly but I’m all for fighting against electric appliances.

      they seem to ignore the camera crew, that’s kind of them…

      fuck it, we need a BBC mockumentary about then filming the predator like a nature documentary.

            You must be young?

            So… I’m no history major but as I recall, Nicaragua had a socialist government called the FMLN… Reagan hated socialism and hired Oliver North to arm and train El Salvadoran troops… it’s wasn’t very secret. We had military boots on the ground. Even now I believe that we have a base in Panama to train soldiers… it’s connected to West Point somehow.

            But yeah, if shit’s going on places, we’re there.

            I do not know how Predator explained our soldiers down there but it didn’t have to.
