It's night and you're home alone. A group of neanderthals are coming to hunt you for food. They have spears, natural NVG's and their superior strenght. What is the best weapon you have or can get against them and not end up as neanderthal poop?

You can just throw a rock overhand. It's that easy.

Not that it matters, but highly doubtful. It's hard to overstate how big a deal modern nutrition, weight training and even minimal careful use of anabolic steroids (inb4 noooo that's cheating) has been. I'm absolutely fucking nothing by serious standards but can still bench an ok 265 lbs. The current olympic record in unequipped bench is 783 lbs. For reference, the initial 1898 Olympic record was just 362 lbs, that only went to 364 in 1916, a record which then stood for over 30 years until 1950 when Hepburn became the first man ever to bench 400, followed pretty quickly by hitting 450 and then 500. Records just kept falling ever after that.

My recollection is that sure, neanderthals may have been somewhat genetically stronger. But they weren't multiple times more, and are subject to the exact same nutritional and practical considerations that we are. Weight training is taken for granted now but it's really modern, and it's also a luxury of a society where most of us don't even have to think about sufficient calories and micronutrients, it's trivial. A rando group of primitives transported into our time and coming for my house is going to get squished by much of the population on a physical level.

More importantly even if I as a slow weak fatass, my AI security system would alert me long ahead of time, and I'd just fucking shoot them if they broke in (doubtful, I've got security doors and window bars) before the police showed up.

Explain how chimps are so much stronger than humans then?
Some primates have night vision.

>Explain how chimps are so much stronger than humans then?
They aren't anon. Or rather, you're getting confused on your definitions of "strength". It's true that, nature to nature and pound to pound, chimp muscles are estimated to have somewhere between 35-50% more strength capability due to a higher ratio of fast twitch fibers (whereas human muscles are more optimized to also have long running endurance). But humans outmass chimps and again, they are subject to nature in a way we no longer are. Chimps don't, and can't, optimize their protein intake and utilize synthetically mass manufactured hormones and other drugs to focus on gains.
>Some primates have night vision.
There are no primates that have "night vision" in any way like what /k/ means when it's talking about night vision goggles or even cheap digital NV with IR flood. It's also irrelevant in a world full of massive amounts of cheap artificial lighting. We're in our homes, which, this being /k/, most of us have put some thought into the defense of. Including (particularly) at night, when a lot of the most concerning home invasions might happen. We have at least simple security systems and WMLs, which to an animal or primitive human or neanderthal might as well be fucking wizard magic. The WMLs are attached to magical death wands that can accurately kill from ludicrous (by nature standards) distances.

To add more fundamentally: there is a very serious reason that real wrestling, martial arts and so on unarmed competitions have weight classes. Assuming men of even vaguely equal skill and training (again, without weapons), the heavier man will win nearly every time. It's a stupendous advantage. Relative strength and "efficiency" isn't the same as absolute capability, but absolute is what matters in a fight.

But this is all a pointless aside because modern humanity didn't conquer the entire planet, including more primitive humanity, by having sharper claws or stronger muscles, we did it with our technology and planning and superior society/organization. It wouldn't matter if neanderthals really were 3x our strength on an absolute level, bears are stronger then we are too, but we hunt them not the other way around. And could exterminate them at will, except that'd be retarded because they aren't any serious threat and having cool nature stuff and functional ecosystems is based.

Americans don't have well built houses. European houses are brick, stone and concrete.

OP is a faggot 100% of the time same as always, but it is worth mentioning that not just on /k/ but all over the net in gun forums the basics of physical home security get too easily ignored. I personally know dudes with 5-6 figures in guns with shitty doors that could be kicked in in like, 15 seconds, zero alarms, no real safes, nada. Firearms are a very important second line of defense, but not the first.

Human muscles are attached in a manner optimized for fine motor control (and overhand throwing), which makes us relatively weak for our size.

Nigger I'm American, do you think we somehow are legally prevented from building proper houses or something? Just because most normgroids don't give a shit doesn't mean that you can't literally just go to a hardware store and buy a security door, or pay extra to get your house built properly instead of chink tier load bearing drywall shitboxes.

And I've seen photos of those awesome European house after a tiny tornado gets too close. You houses are not built for strength.

This was in the Czech republic. keep in mind that euro tornados tend to be FAR weaker than American ones, and yet somehow they did this much damage.

So can they. They can throw long, pointy, high-SD rocks overhand as well.

Answer: literally any gun > a spear. The sound of the gunshot might even scare them off.
