What was that story where alien scientists where giving a study to military people about using adrenaline for their troops and after the ruckus after saying it was a perfect failure the scientists shout “It does not work because we are already operating at our limits. The Humans are NOT!”
Adrenaline does not make us stronger that’s a misconception it’s a signal that tells the body to release more glycogen into the bloodstream and to stop limiting our muscles so it doesn’t damage us
Technically it does, as it allows us to damage our muscles, which under normal condition is prevented. It removes safeties, so to speak. Same condition can be observed in brain - you can push your brain to operate at higher speeds, but it tends to cause overheating and death of neurons.
@@msmaria5039 eyup. A sort of "feck it, if we're going down anyway, no reason to worry about silly things like safety parameters". If you used all your muscles to their fullest at all times you'd be dead within a couple days from your body ripping and snapping itself into pieces internally, not to mention the injuries that would accrue due to not feeling pain if *that* stays suppressed too. Jaw muscles at max plus lack of pain means you'll almost definitely be losing bits of your tongue, and you'll be walking around for hours before you realize you're walking funny because you tore something in your knee or ankle. If you imagine how bad it would be to keep the accelerator pressed all the way down when your car is in neutral then shifting into gear and how bad that is for the machine, you'll get a feel for why our bodies have self-imposed limits, even if we do have a "fuck it, may as well" chemical to get past them.
For every story where we spook the aliens with our last stand capacity, we need a story like "humans die slow" where it shows just what happens to a last stand human, the cost of breaking those limits. That a properly bonded human WILL do the thing and save the ship... but then you don't have one anymore.
The thing about adrenaline is it doesn't boost the body's abilities, it removes the mental blockers on them. The human body functions at reduced capacity as the amount of energy required and heat produced for your mental processes would be far too much for prolong experience, leading to rapid exhaustion. Human muscle also works at a reduced capacity as human muscle working at full potential would tear itself from the anchor points and fracture bone. Adrenaline is the human body saying "Ok, it doesn't matter how much damage the body sustains here as long as we can make it through this" as it's better to be injured than it is to be dead.
Yeah everybody talks about adrenaline and people lifting cars when under the influence of it but nobody talks about how once it wears off you feel all of the torn muscles in your body that you didn't notice separating from your bones lol
@@jaredflynn3750 Yup, the pain suppression is a part of that as well, pain is your body warning you that you may want to stop whatever it is you're doing thats causing pain, adrenaline reduces pain so it won't be a distraction and you can use the full potential of your abilities.
@@jaredflynn3750 actualy just the event of having adrenaline surge in your bloodstream is dangerous in itself, you acn activate just by breathing faster and repeatedly punching your chest near the heart. if your stomach start to hurt or burn congrats you wasted adrenalinine to prve my point
yhee..i sort of hade a little tick at that to.. sure , flood the blood stream with adrenaline and you bairly 'feel' your arm breaks as you push your muscles to the point they rip of the ligaments..but it wont magicly make your bones any stronger or muscles any thicker or nerve impulses any faster then they already are ..just removes all ' hardware safe operation speed ' fuses ...so at least the part about 'last ditch/stand' thing where semi correct as its better to be wounded by alive then a spotless corpse i guess ;)
In the Marines, one of the things you had to learn and train (incessantly) for, is that adrenaline removes your fine muscle control. Which could cause you to shoot at someone and miss. While to err is human, and forgiveness is divine, it isn't Marine Corps policy.
It's interesting to know that the Marines haven't figured out how to use adrenaline in the same way that professional dancers have for centuries. We train to use a pre-show adrenaline boost to actually improve our performance and fine motor control, and often do far better onstage than we do in training or in rehearsals. I personally even managed to use the combination of adrenaline and endorphins to complete a particularly important ballet exam on a hip that I had no idea that I'd fractured while practicing the day before. It was a career ending injury, (at least professionally) but I still passed an advanced ballet exam on a broken hip, with otherwise near perfect technique, and only a couple of Tylenol 2's. I wonder where the differences in adrenaline usage come in?
@@neuralmute It is a different environment for Marines. The Army brings structure and control, to the battle space, and win wars. Marines bring chaos. The iron discipline holding, the borderline sociopaths, of the worlds worst death cult, has been removed. They will wreck, or kill everything in front of them, that isn't a Marine, for 90 hours straight on nothing but adrenaline, water and cigarettes. Every Marine you meet, has already decided the best way to kill you. They can't help it. They were chosen for what is wrong in their heads, by the Marines at the Recruit Depot, then trained. Adrenaline is the drug that allows them to be what they are. Whiskey allows them to forget.
@@neuralmuteWhere do you think the stories of the viking Beserkers comes from? They used a mix of psychedelics and amping themselves up to get the adrenaline pumping, now what your body puts out when you are actively psyching yourself up is barely a drip feed compared to when you are in a life threatening situation. On average we use about 12% of our full strength but it can go up towards 20% with training. When that last ditch adrenaline kicks in it takes off all the chains. We can snap our own bones and rip the tendons right off of them (and I'm not talking small bones you can fracture your femur and tibia in that state), so yes fine motor control goes out the window when you suddenly have the ability to flip cars.
I found an article about it, and you're definitely correct. I'm torn between making a mental note to never even think of FOOF, and finding that company they mentioned at least claimed to supply it, ordering some, and then keeping an eye on the news for the probable exploding cargo plane.
@@morschmellowz8748 It is named FOOF for the sound it makes when coming in contact with just about any other substance/material. It tends to just not want to exist and makes that perfectly clear at first opportunity with extreme prejudice aka KABOOM. It is one of the most unstable and violently reactive substances we know. And pretty much any chemist with any amount of survival instinct will absolutely refuse to work with that stuff. Nitroglycerin is a tame and stable angel of a chemical in comparison. XD
I remember a video a few weeks back where they were talking about the stomach acid of a human yet alcohol was on the menu, made me think that it was highly probable that the species digestive system ran on alcohol as their primary system since the hydrochloric acid was toxic. Any other potential substitute digestive fluids y'all able to think up? Vinegar and alcohol being a strange but plausible substitute if their body doesn't mind being extremely slow.
I see lots of comments along the lines of "adrenaline doesn't increase your abilities, it just removes your limiters." Well, if you're driving, you _limit_ your speed to something safe for the situation (if you're not a dingus). You might be going 30mph or 45mph or 65mph, whatever. But, if it's necessary, you can floor it and go as fast as the car is capable; you remove the imposed _limit_ on the car's speed. But, apparently, based on the logic applied to adrenaline, flooring it isn't "actually" making the car faster because it's top speed is still the same, you're just allowing it to use the speed it already has. So, as you can plainly see, officer, I definitely *wasn't* speeding.
Adrenaline not only kicks in for stress and anger, but also fear. It's part of why it's called a fight or flight response. So what happened to the Auratel??? I suspect his "micro wormhole" took the ship a lot further than planned. Like halfway across the galaxy instead of halfway across the system. Well our storyteller seems to have learned a few hard lessons. At least he's a good sport about it.
Adrenaline, the bodies signal to stop riding the clutch and let the gears fully engage because almost is for tosing horse shoes, survival is a binary situation.
The spelling errors in the first story were distracting and a little cringey. I'm not judging harshly, as I think that English is not the author's first language and they may have been using Google Translate or something similar.

Ah, the heady rush of adrenaline. The wildcard element - "How strong *is* the Human?"
We've artificially made some aweful stuff as well, look up FOOF sometime.
It is equal parts hilarious, and _absolutely terrifying_

Love the stories. Never thought I would enjoy Audio books but this is nice.
The third story sounds cool, as if humans were super strong sex machines that drink alcohol like it's nothing.
Dangerous but hot

so i'm guessing that they _weren't_ glad they hired a human
That's the curse of being human sometimes they get the math wrong and killed everyone.
That last story was adorable

I kinda wounder If all Human Base Aliens would get the same reactiions
