Research suggests a T-Rex would need 50-100k kCal/day. Even if it ate a whole cow before starting, it would be hurting a week in.

Maybe it could survive the month, but would probably be severely malnourished at that point.

In any event, there is no mention of what happens if I fail to kill it. Does the experiment just end and I go home empty handed, or does the magic hut disappear and we fight it out to the death?

Surely the T-Rex also gets food and a hut

"Yes, Richard, you can keep the hut."

I also immediately thought of ayoade on taskmaster when I read that comment. I see you prole.

A hut, in this economy?

The only reason they can offer 500 million is because of the crypto sponsorship

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

All right, we'll keep the sponsorship. I'm fine living in the Cypto.com Arena('s Previously Magic Hut).

Only the knife.

Seems like a reasonable assumption is that it gets 90-95% of its BMR per day; that is, its fed enough to stay alive for a long while, but it us on a duet and chronically hungry.

If you fail to kill it and survive, yeah seems like going home empty handed is the safe assumption.

That's assuming it doesn't have the capability to go into torpor.

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah that was my thought, just let it starve.
