humans are scary as screw
it' s runny now science fiction universes so
often treat humans as a mung. default
everyman species or even the weakest and
dumbest
I want to see a set it universe where were
actually considered one of the more hideous
and terrifying species
How do we know our saliva and skin oils
wouldn' t be to most other
sapient rates? What it we actually have the
strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill
the inhabitants of other worlds lust
screaming at them‘? What " most sentient the in
the universe toms out to be and
lives in fear or us rare "animal" races who can
moire so quickly and chew shit up with our
teeth?
Like that old story "theate made of meat." only
we' re scarier.

More when sly. humans do have a number of
advantages even among Terrestrial the Our endurance-
shock resistance- and ability to recover from injury is
absurdly high compared to almost any other animal. We
often use the phrase "healthy as a horse" to cahoots
ma moms - but compared to a human. a horse is as
fragile as spun glass There' s mounting evidence that
our ancestors would hunt large prey simply by
following it at a walking pace. without sleep or rest. until
it died of exhaustion: it' s called pursuit predation.
Basically. we' re the Denominator.
The only other animal that can sort or keep up with us’?
Dogs Thats why we use them for hunting. And even
Now extrapolate that to a galaxy in which most sapient
the did not evolve front tanned pursuit
predators;
o {tor strength and speed is nothing to write home
abate. but we don' t need ta overpower or outran
you. We just need to outlast you - and by any
other species‘ standards. we gust plain don' t get
tired
o Where a simple broken leg will ca use most
species to go into shoot: and cite. we can recover
froth virtually any injury that' s not immediately
fatal. Even train' katic isn' t
necessarily a injury fora human.
o we heal hem injuries with extreme rapidity.
recovering in weeks from wounds that would take
others tradition or years to heat. The results aren' t
pretty - humans have hyperactive scar tissue.
among our other traits - but
they' re highly .
I Speaking of scarring. look at our medical science.
we developed surgery centuries before
developing even the most
anesthetics or life support in , humans
have been known to cartoon surgery on
themselves - and survive. Thanks to our
extreme heartiness. we regard as routine medical
procedures what most other species would regard
as inventive terms or murder We even perform
radical surgery on ourselves for purely cosmetic
reasons-
in essence, we' d be Space (tics.
I do nope you realize l' m going to be pic king up this stud and
running with it right?
Outlaws have too many TEETH in mem, so we developed a way
to METAL TO OUR TEETH and FORCE THE BONES Bl
OUR JAW to restructure over the course at years to I' ll them back
into shape. and then we continue to wear metal in out mouths to
keep them in place.
We romeo relationships with tiny mammals and
Insects we keep at tray from bothering us try death. often using
lithe analog traps.
And god. we will eat anything
o We use borderline toxic peppers to season our food.
ii We expose ourselves to potentially lethal solar radiation in the
pursuit of darkening our skin
or We risk hearing was tor the opporunity to see tyur favorite
musicians live.
o We have a game where two people get into an enclosed area
and hit each other until time mos out/ one or them pass out
in We willingly jump out M planes with only a piece of cloth
to prever Us from against the ground.
o ear response to natural disasters is to just rebuild our buildings
in the exact same places.
We climb mountains and risk freezing to death for bragging
rights
or We invented dogs. We took our one time predators and
completely domestic and them
o On a planet toll of lions. tigers and bears. we managed to
advance Mther and taster than any other species on the
planet.
k. ll: and Hogan and ores ain' t got shit on us
can we talk about new pursuit predation is fucking terrifying
it' s one thing to face down a cheetah. which will slam into you at so mph
and break your neck
it' s another thing to run very quickly to getaway from a thing. only to have
it just kind of
show up
to have it be intelligent enough to figure out where you are by the for and
feather you' tell behind. your footprints and piss and shit. and then you
think you' lost it and you bed down for the night but THERE IT s
WAITING
WHEN YOU WAKE UP
and you split! again! but it keeps following you. always in the comer or
your eye. until you just
die
we are scary motherfuc kers
