Will the T-Rex be provided food? Because I could just wait it out. But if it's provided food I'd just make sure it swallows the hunting knife with its meal and in theory it should cause some gastrointestinal leakage...
The T-rex will probably die eventually from starvation... Which means I could lose my roof and free food. Biggest challenge will be trying to keep the T-rex alive...
As long as I'm getting food and the T-Rex isn't, just sit in the hut and wait.
T-Rex will pass out of hunger and thirst. Once it stops moving I wait a day or two then finish the job with the knife.
I know it's green text but come on. Even T-Rex sleep. Wait for that, poke its eyes out, cut its tendons and then just go death by a thousand cuts on that big lizard.
I would take 1 week and observe the T-Rex from inside the hut. Make small, but safe, movements.
After determining that I will be unable to kill the T-Rex I will inform the person running the game that I can not kill the T-Rex and would like to forfeit.
The person running the game would protest, but eventually realize I am not going on provide any further entertainment.
They'd bring in the professionals to corral the T-Rex and contain him.
Those professionals? A secret team I've hired. My forfeit? I had my fingers crossed.
With the T-Rex contained and drugged, I stab the T-Rex.
I don't think he would last long with our current oxygen levels, there is a reason why such giant creatures don't exist anymore.
On top of that like comments said if we just waited out he would starve to dead, even if we were not provided food.
*Edit
Well looks like I was wrong, thx for clarifying that out.
Really though the reason for big animals not being as prevelant anymore was really the oxygen levels Idk where I got that from.
But then it is really weird how the evolution meta didn't evolve back to the huge beasts we see on books, someone said in the comments that it was due to the mammals success, if so it puts things really into perspective.
Well there you go, the food is the answer. Lots of things humans eat are toxic to animals so all you got to do is order like a bunch of coffee, chocolate, avacados, onions, garlic, maybe some potatoes you leave in the sun awhile... Get some turkey or other meat and stuff it with all the potentially toxic treats and hope something sticks.
No way I can afford to pay 500 million to hunt a t rex. That seems like a fair price though given the trouble of bringing back an extinct animal, some billionaire would probably do it.
I would memorize its attack patterns and stab its legs between attacks, dodging every time it rears back for another stomp. Eventually, with enough stabs, I'd kill it.
That's a LOT of money. Can I use a stick to tie the 10-inch knife to? Then encourage him to hang around the INDESTRUCTIBLE hut while he dies of a thousand wounds?
Poop on the knife, stand right outside the hut and wait for him to get close, throw the knife at him and grt inside, if it doesn't land just start over once he walks away.
All I need is one poopy stab and the infection would kill him.
Rot the food, poison the T-Rex. Order whole cooked animals, cooked bones are horrible for animals because they don't bend like uncooked but rather...shatter. Creating lots of little potential daggers & knives to perforate the T-Rex's digestive tract. Also might be tougher to poop out. Poison, and internally wreck, the T-Rex.
Agitate the animal as much as possible & keep it alert. If able to time it right & the T-Rex never gets rest, it will eventually have to fall sometime out of sheer brain-dead exhaustion. As others have said, stab it in its guts with a poopy, poisoned knife.
Idk it would be difficult & arduous but I don't think it's impossible.
1: Keister some fentanyl in, poison the food with fentanyl, set food outside hut.
Depending on the dosage it will either die or be very weak for a while.
2: refuse knife, demand shovel. Dig giant holes to trap it. Possibly fill holes with sharp sticks so it's impaled or at least fucks up a foot or two. Bonus points for digging smaller holes all around the Hut then piss it off and watch it break it's legs.
3: depending on how intelligent it really is, you could possibly get it to do it's self great bodily harm. I caught an angry squirrel in a cage once. The squirrel just headbutted the cage over, and over and over. By the time I'd gotten to it it'd already busted it's head open pretty horribly, like it hurt to watch. Didn't stop it though, just kept headbutting that cage in a.. rage? Not even "normal" headbutts, these were full body jumps from one side of the cage to the other. It was trying to use it's head as a battering ram I guess. So maybe provoke the rex and run to your indestructible hut. Maybe it knocks itself senseless trying to get to you. Personally I wouldn't bet my life on that but eh, you do you.
4: just.. traps. Summon your inner Hunter. "What would kill this thing and how to I make that happen? Deep hole strategy again, collect some vines, scale a tree, hoist down with the vines above the hole and now you're bait.
Idk
As was pointed out I guess I'd have to dig the holes close(r) to the indestructible hut.
Wait for it to sleep climb on top its head. Whats it gonna do, flail at me with its puny arms? Stretch its leg up to swat at me standing on one foot? Drop and roll over crushing me om its ba- oooooh wait a min.
Hmm. Maybe I find a way to tie its feet first and stab it and run immediatly before it crushes me.
I used to play a game called Tokyo Jungle, in it you can play various animals in a humanless version of Tokyo. The main goal of the game is to explore the city and survive as long as you can while eating plants or animals your animal likes. This game taught me that larger animals need more calories to survive, as my runs with the alligator would end the quickest, where with the smaller animals I could play for longer. I just fact checked myself and elephants eat about 330-375 pounds of food per day, and this makes sense, the larger the biology, the more cells they have, the more cells they have, the more energy they need to keep those cells alive.
Since a t-rex is much bigger than an elephant, I'd imagine they would need an insane amount of calories per day to survive. In a starvation contest, a human would win. All you would have to do is wait for the lethargy of starvation to set in, and then when it falls asleep try to puncture an artery or slice tendons to immobilize the dino. The idea is that it would be so starved that even if it woke up, it wouldn't have the coordination to immediately eat you, you may even have a comfortable window of time to seek shelter in the case that things go sideways. Or if you wanted to play it safe you could just wait for the t-rex to expire from starvation, but you'd most likely be feeling like shit by the end of that.
