This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
This is easy.
We're locked in the arena. I'm safe in my indestructible hut. I also get food. So all I have to do is sit there and wait for the t-rex to starve to death and/or die of dehydration.
With literally zero expenditure of effort I'll make the $500mm in like two weeks.
If you're fed, it's highly likely the T Rex is also fed.
A predator like that probably won't starve in a month. Its a bit hard to say, you could compare with a crocodile (larger ones can fast for 2 - 3 years) but they are cold blooded which is a huge metabolic advantage here.
Lions can go 2 weeks without eating, and are far smaller which means there's less of them to waste away before they perish. A massive predator like a rex would having huge amounts of mass to lose before it died.
Chances are they probably only ate every 1 to 2 weeks by default. A month is not much of a stretch for it, so you likely fail.

What did they even do all day then?
Probably smoked weed and played Fortnite, they were likely a bunch of wankers.
your hut is in the middle. the food delivery is at one end or the other because you ~~don't~~ can't tip enough (weren't given any money) for the dashers to risk their lives delivering a sack of soggy tacos.
The correct answer is to befriend the t-rex and then team up to kill the multi millionaires caging up people and extinct animals for violent entertainment.
Poop on the knife, stab it anywhere I can reach when it is inevitably near the hut trying to get me. Repeat until infection does its work.
Is that what a poop knife is?
Sadly no
Apparently T-Rex can live up to a couple weeks without food.
So I would spend most of that time pestering it, throwing rocks and stuff just to keep it awake and agitated. Ideally get it to chase me back into my indestructible hut.
After week 3, if it isn't dead, it will be so lethargic and ill that I could hack away at it's tail until enough bleeding finishes the job. It says I have food, it does not say he has food.
Whole bunch of dead nerds in these comments.
Somewhat related comment. Is it possible to kill a human with a thumbtack?
You could totally rip open a neck artery with a thumbtack.
I imagine an infection would be the most likely killer. Maybe eventual bloodloss? Though that would take quite some time.
When was the last time it ate before going into the arena?
I'll just stay inside the hut thanks. An animal that big will starve to death without anything substantial to eat. And by substantial I mean like elephants and shit. These animals needed a lot, and I mean a LOT, of calories to keep going. One month should be plenty of time for attrition to get the job done. If I have to actively participate in its death though, I'll just wait until starvation/illness weaken it to the point where it can barely move, make some spears by sharpening stone sticks, and stab it through the eyes until it stops breathing.
I was about to post that there was also more oxygen in the atmosphere during dinosaur times hence why they were so big, but I did a search to make sure and it turns out to be a debunked myth. There was a high oxygen era, but not during dinosaurs. TIL
One month free vacation with food and I go home after?
small indestructible hut is too much of an advantage, no fair to T-Rex
PREMISE REJECTED
If DND has taught me anything, it's that there has to be some way to use the hut to kill the t rex.
D&D has taught me never give your players anything infinite, endless, or indestructible.
Wait a month in the hut, if it dies on its own I win, if not I live anyway.
And you got a month of free room and board!
I used to have a recurring adventure dream/nightmare like this when I was a kid. Except the hut was NOT indestructible.
Wait until it falls asleep infront of the hut, slit it's throat and run back inside
You're not gonna get through it's hide fast enough lol
If I'm allowed to have alcohol then I molotov the T-Rex. I rinse and repeat until it collapses from exhaustion, stab it in the eyes, then set it on fire again.
If I can get a molotov in its mouth, even better.
I would be so down. I would die, but it would be awesome.
Sneeze on it. Ancient animals aren't immune to modern bacteria.
Can I use the knife to mug a Special Forces sniper team for their Barrett 50 cal?
Hell yeah! Just dig a nice deep hole next to the hut and hide inside whenever it gets close. Then lure it in once the hole is deep enough after covering it in sticks and leaves. Now, I'm not talking a T-rex sized hole. Just enough for 1 foot. Once it steps on it and its weight breaks its leg you wait for it to die inside the hut.
