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.

    Also, most apex predators are heavy sleepers because they have absolutely nothing to be scared of when they're asleep. As an example, male lions sleep for 18-20 hours a day.

    Well, it sure as fuck will wake up if you stab its eye out. If I had to bet I still would pick the one-eyed angry T-Rex.

    Recent studies have shown their top speed is about the same as humans. You could:

    1. wait for him to sleep
    2. poke an eye out
    3. run to safety
    4. Repeat steps 1 2 3
    5. Finish him after you take advantage of the rest of the month of free food and accomodations.

    I love how you have a plan that gets you $500 million, but you just have to have to take advantage of that free rent in a shack before time runs out.

    I imagine you’d walk up to an eyelid that’s thicker than your arm, luckily still wedge the knife between the eye, get absolutely deafened as it screams out in pain, and either trampled or catapulted as it flails about, or just plain nommed on as it sees you with the remaining good eye.

    How exactly did you plan on getting over to the other eye before getting crunched, anyways? They’re not exactly tiny heads.

    Tie the knife to a long stick then wait for sleepy time.. still idk how you'd go about getting away

    If you could craft a shovel you could dig a deep hole and trap it maybe, then stick-knife it's eyes out. Or a bunch of relatively small holes so it breaks a leg, maybe sprains an ankle and is weakened..

    I'm imagining there being some trees and whatnot, which may be in err but also being on a blank football field doesn't seem very fair

    Like in my mind I assumed you'd be in a sort of jungle atmosphere or something but admit that's probably just from watching Jurassic park a few too many times.

    Nevertheless the prompt doesn't really elaborate on the exact environment it would be, just the size so I feel sort of justified with assuming it would be an "in theme" environment and not just.. you vs. T-Rex on a random football field because that just seems idk, wrong.. like you have a T-Rex, we've watched Jurassic park and everyone knows this is supposed to happen in a jungle /s

    Edit: island with jungle-like trees and foliage...

    We don't know if they ever slept. We don't even know if they had fur or not.

    I just had to stop me from going down a whole rabbit hole about sleeping sharks. So I'm just going to make this point:

    Chickens and crocodiles sleep, and they are basically dinosaurs so: Checkmate.

    Seriously though, sharks are pretty interesting creatures! https://animalhype.com/fish/do-sharks-sleep/
