See, when a domestic animal’s caretaker dies and there’s no one else around to feed them, and the body is just *there,* they may resort to some…unsavory drastic measures to avoid starvation. But they won’t kill people! Well..mostly. It depends on the dog and how well it’s been trained and socialized to not be feral.

Fun Fact: The "10% of the brain" claim is based on a presentation about the study of Neuroscience. The original presentation was about our understanding of our brains and how at the time we knew "what 10% of our brain does." Like we knew that the frontal cortex was responsible for inhibitions, fears, and conformity. This was misinterpreted as "we know what the brain does but only 10% of it is on.". Additional fun fact: The reason we know so little about what the different parts of a brain does is because we learned what the parts do by what happens when humans lose those parts of the brain. For instance we know what the frontal cortex does because a man took a railway spike to the face and damaged his frontal cortex. He then lost all inhibitions, becoming increasingly blunt in conversation and frequently leaving his house half-dressed or nude. So we couldn't ethically carve out pieces of some dudes brain and then see how he acts which limited how well we can study what parts of the brain did.
Also, corpus callostomy is interesting in its pros and cons; it's one of the options for children with seizures and brain tumors. Leads to the condition of "split brain," which has some peculiar side effects after removing the section connecting the left and right hemispheres.
Also it's an old study on the human brain. Recent studies have show that we actually use actually use all of our brain just not all at once. Even when sleeping we use more than 10 percent. If we were to use only 10 percent of our brain then we would medically be considered brain dead as that would just about be the brain running the autonomous tasks just to keep itself alive.
Likewise, using 100% of your brain at once is also known as a "grand mal seizure". That term is deprecated from a medical standpoint but the fact that we ever called it a variation of "really bad" should be all you need to know.
Also note that the brain can be adaptable - so sometimes, especially when the person in question is young, they can loose a part of their brain (like the speech centre) and it gets redeveloped somwhere else ... Also the reason mental declining seemingly happens so fast - the brain keeps compensating for the loss of brain functionality until it is at a breaking point where it basically collapses and the symptomos start coming out and worsing rapidly.
See, my whole problem with this trope is that a species as risk-averse as these hypothetical aliens would never even ATTEMPT space travel. They would take one look at the radioactive death void outside of their planet's atmosphere and go "screw that, we're staying home."

I know the reason you stopped doing this series is because it paints humans in a very dumb light and you prefer to see things more optimistically, which is the entire purpose of Cyana and Cosmic Wonders, but I really like the funny voices and reactions you do with these posts (and i like the genuine heartfelt skits even more) so I'm glad its back after all this time; even if it's just a one time thing.
2:20 Me eating peanut butter toast for breakfast and enjoying the *cronch:* >_>" also I missed this series, this and God Creates Things is what got me into this channel in the first place ...god I'm been following Seymour for at least 5 years, wtf is time
"Human why is there a warning on this peanut butter saying that it contains peanuts?" This entire exchange makes me so incredibly angry. How are we, as a species, so stupid that it's been deemed necessary to label PEANUT BUTTER as containing PEANUT? How come our medicine supply chain is controlled by people so greedy that epipens aren't easily affordable? How is it even CLOSE to OK that someone who'd be dumb enough to eat PEANUT BUTTER despite having life-threatening peanut allergy could end up fine but only if they're rich enough? And on the inverse - someone allergic who's exposed to peanuts by accident could go eat shit because they're "too poor"? I can't even, what kind of natural selection is that?!
On peanut butter: Whenever you see an incredibly stupid-seeming warning like that, it's because someone has gotten hurt and/or died because of it...and almost certainly pressed a lawsuit.
The one I find even stupider is that a can of almonds has "Allergy warning: contains almonds". AT LEAST WITH THE PEANUT BUTTER ONE THERE'S THE LEGITIMATE POSSIBILITY THAT IT'S JUST PEANUT FLAVORED Gah.
These tend to bring out my inner teacher, attempting to explain things better. Also at the last one the human is either visiting a grave or just found an exceptionally round stone.
YEAH SPACE ORCS! I found out about Space orcs some time after you decided "space orcs" wasn't a thing you'd be doing anymore. It's actually how I got introduced to your content.

It can be quite creepy.

2:03 idea on why money is so valuable: it’s basically certain goods services provided by working at a job given physical form that can be exchanged for other goods and services.
I just wanted to say, thanks for bringing this back. This series definitely was one of the things i listened to whenever I was down and depressed. It reminded me that humans despite having their misunderstandings and shenanigans, their strength and kindness is what truly makes them whole. Thank you for giving me hope and the strength to remember that being human means being vulnerable but also having endless possibilities for merely existing. It really is an uplifting series.
Humans are Space Orcs is one of my most favourite genres Anyone interested: Read the "Empyrian Iris Story Collection" from Charlie Starr. Good stuff with a lot of it, like a real whole lot
Hastar (the king in yellow) wasn’t created by H.P.lovecraft, but was a Erdrich god from the book “the king in yellow” by Robert W. Chambers. H.P.lovecraft was a fan of the book and made references to it in his own works. The book was written in 1895 but takes place in the 1920’s and the on the first page (on my copy at least) it mentions a war with Germany that had recently ended.
I was fully expecting, for the one about money, when asked "what do you use money for?" For the human to respond like Homer's brain "Money can be exchanged for goods and services!" And maybe then going into a short description of how paper and coin money is legal placeholder trinkets in a really elaborate IOU, where what's actually being traded is currency that physically isn't real.
Oh, people want to care, just no one feels like they can. There is such a divide between the people who make the laws and those who have to follow them that distracting ourselves with trivial nonsense becomes the only way we feel connected at all . . .
Banknotes were originally valuable because they were a sort of "IOU" (I owe you) or a promise saying if you want to turn this in to the bank they'll give you a certain amount of gold for it. It became a placeholder for carrying gold (a valuable, rare, and shiny mineral) because it was easier to carry and lighter. Eventually people just started using them instead of carrying heavy and clunky coins, but the treasury of whatever country still kept gold on hand because that's what the value of the currency was based on. Cut to today, now money is mostly symbolic of time in the digital age. It is ostensibly still based on the so called "gold standard", but to most people it represents a given amount of time invested in a job.
I got one! Alien: What are you watching? Human: Well I’m watching a video relating to this show called “The Amazing Digital Circus” A: What is “The Amazing Digital Circus” about? H: It’s about a human who put on a VR headset which transported them to a digital circus where they forgot their identity and have to go through crazy adventures. A: So what is this video about? H: Well it’s a short animation of Caine (the ringmaster) telling Pomni (the newcomer) about the success of the first episode. A: That does seem pretty interesting, but what are those blurred images he’s showing her? H: It’s just R34 some of the fans made. A: What is R34? H: Well… *a while of explanation later* A: What the fuck is wrong with these people. H: I know, right!?
A: Humans have been able to create artificial intelligence? That's incredible! H: Uh huh.. A: Imagine the possibilities! Humans could solve climate change, travel the cosmos, and discover the mysteries of life! H: .... Yes... That is what it is being used for.
1:03 untrue, we do not in fact use only 10% of our brains, but merely only know WHAT we use 10% of our brains for, we do use the rest, we just don't know what for
No doctor, scientist or anyone in a similar field has ever claimed we only use 10% of our brains. We use our entire brain; maybe not every single part at every single second, but we use the whole thing.

A: radioactive? The same stuff that kills everything in the galaxy?

YOOO SPACE ORCS!!! BACK JUST IN TIME FOR MY HYPERFIXATION!!!!
Thats a *_nice_* amount of likes
Dude, I literally just found this series, this is a neurodivergent hyperfixation _blessing!_
“What are you doing?”
“Algebra homework.”
“Oh. Is that some sort of language?”
“What, no. It’s-it’s math.”
“As in mathematics?”
“Yeah.”
“But…there’s letters.”
“Those are variables, numbers I don’t know the value of.”
“Why would you do math where you do not know numbers? 2+2=4, so I suppose a²+b²=c² as well!”
“That’s the Pythagorean theorem.”
“Fu-“
I'm just mostly curious about how the aliens are doing space travel without having invented algebra lol
And why are there shapes?!
@@Hubcat_ not every person (or alien in that case) needs to know everything, maybe the alien in question was simply the best choice for conversing with humans due to their common sense, diplomacy and linguistic skills.
basically focusing on singular strengths instead of a shotgun approach, skimming every subject.
Edit: it's either that, or they already possess an innate understanding of the universe, conservation and conversion of energy.
If you think about it math IS a language, it's a pidgin language we invented/discovered in order to interpret the underlying logic of the universe.
@@user-yd2ye2uh2cmost of our plans for actually potentially communicating with aliens involve using math to establish a common ground. If we encountered an alien species, our first conversations would be between mathematicians.
The last one has the same energy as it’s a terrible day for rain
Why were they crying over a round rock?

Round stone is actually “demon core” from past
Alien: Human, I have a question?
Human: sure, go ahead.
Alien: So, I've been doing some research here and there, and I keep coming across mentions of... Neanderthals? What are they?
Human: oh, those guys... so, uh, picture a human
Alien: ok
Human: now add more muscle and hair
Alien: ok...
Human: and then picture them living in smaller groups than you've seen humans living in, all the while being shorter than us too.
Alien: ok...
Human: and that's practically it. They were a essentially another intelligent species before going extinct.
Alien: *sighs* let me guess, you humans wiped them out with your aggressive nature?
Human: actually, there's been some evidence that they and humanity interbred with each other... becoming one species instead of two.
Alien: how is that even possible if the two species were separate species plus the lack of technology to allow such hybrids to occur?
Human: well, remember how I said Neanderthals were basically smaller and hairyer humans?
Alien: yes
Human: that's because humans and Neanderthals were very closely related to each other to be able to have children that were able to make more children of their own.
Alien: fascinating...
Human: what was that part about technology allowing 2 separate species to have children with each other?
Alien: ...
Human:...
Alien: I don't think that'd be a wise decision on my part, human
That definitely would not be wise. Good God. The monstrosities we would create for the heck of it. 😆
PM, your videos are the reason I got into humansarespaceorcs and HFY in general, I've become a part of the community there and it's not a stretch to say that you're a big reason for why I started writing and posting my stories, thank you!
R/hfy (short for "Humans, fuck yeah!") will sate your space orc needs while waiting for the next video, and Aggro Squirrell narrates many of the stories there here on YT with a very old-fashioned radio broadcaster type of voice
I do personally prefer Net Narrator, but Argo is pretty good himself, and between the 2 of them the sheer amount they have covered is enormous... though P.M. is how I got to hfy.
So glad someone else here is an ASN fan... HFY is such a wonderful place to explore!
SPACE ORCS!!!!!! I got so hype seeing the title of this video. ❤️❤️❤️
No way! We are so back
I know the reason you stopped doing this series is because it paints humans in a very dumb light and you prefer to see things more optimistically, which is the entire purpose of Cyana and Cosmic Wonders, but I really like the funny voices and reactions you do with these posts (and i like the genuine heartfelt skits even more) so I'm glad its back after all this time; even if it's just a one time thing.
As someone who regularly posts there, it more frequently paints the aliens as not terribly bright by human standards.
It's a fun place.

"Human why is there a warning on this peanut butter saying that it contains peanuts?"
This entire exchange makes me so incredibly angry. How are we, as a species, so stupid that it's been deemed necessary to label PEANUT BUTTER as containing PEANUT? How come our medicine supply chain is controlled by people so greedy that epipens aren't easily affordable? How is it even CLOSE to OK that someone who'd be dumb enough to eat PEANUT BUTTER despite having life-threatening peanut allergy could end up fine but only if they're rich enough? And on the inverse - someone allergic who's exposed to peanuts by accident could go eat shit because they're "too poor"? I can't even, what kind of natural selection is that?!
On peanut butter: Whenever you see an incredibly stupid-seeming warning like that, it's because someone has gotten hurt and/or died because of it...and almost certainly pressed a lawsuit.
The one I find even stupider is that a can of almonds has "Allergy warning: contains almonds".
AT LEAST WITH THE PEANUT BUTTER ONE THERE'S THE LEGITIMATE POSSIBILITY THAT IT'S JUST PEANUT FLAVORED
Gah.
@@aprildenham5376 Jars of peanuts have a similar warning. Hint: That one's not warning about almonds.
Because if it wasn't a warning, someone would get sued. 😆
...It's back... it'S BACK!
WOOOOOO! MORE SPACE ORCS! WOOOOOOOOOOO!
Welcome back Nerva... We've missed you.
These tend to bring out my inner teacher, attempting to explain things better.
Also at the last one the human is either visiting a grave or just found an exceptionally round stone.
NERVA!!!!! aos Pm.. the space orcs tumblr is soo much more than it use tobe I'm glad your taking another dive into it.
IM SO HAPPY RN!!!!
0:03 YES!!!!!! (I still like your other stuff but I _LOVE_ space Orks!) ... on with the video, and also FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!
YEAH SPACE ORCS!
I found out about Space orcs some time after you decided "space orcs" wasn't a thing you'd be doing anymore. It's actually how I got introduced to your content. I found the way you dubbed them entertaining, then stuck for the chaotic tumblrs, but always wondered about Space Orcs. Pleaseeeeeee bring it back for good!
Same story here. I Faldo looked into r/HFY and I found quite a few gems. I could understand you you stopped the series tho.
I almost forgot you did this, but I am so hyped that it's back!
3:13
I mean, if you don't watch Shed 13 then Shed 17 won't make any sense(It's a trip, and it got a sequel in Project G1)
WHAT THE FUCK IS SHED 13?
i can't find shed 13. I think it's supposed to be shed 17
@@crowickedone4037 It's actually Shed 17, the comment in the video was wrong, and it's a...parody I think is the right term? It's a creepy reimagining of Thomas the Tank Engine, redoing them from cute trains with faces, into people who have been warped and twisted INTO trains via a process called Bio-Fusion. It can be quite creepy.
@@cakeisthebestintheworld Indeed.
I came in running - IT'S BACK!!!!
3:17 A Warehouse 13 reference in 2024? Now THAT'S a surprise :D
You would think it is a Warehouse 13 reference, but according to other comments it is almost certainly along rule 34 cursed stuff and the number is apparently supposed to be 17... either way I am not looking for it. I want to watch Warehouse 13 and Eureka again.
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 Thanks for letting me know! I learned something new today! I'm definitely gonna rematch Warehouse 13 as well :D (Eureka too, if its still on amazon prime)
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 shed 17 is a horror video, not rule 34
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 I don't believe it was rule 34, pretty sure it was a pair of creepypasta, horror type films posted to youtube.
I read a post on the topic of space orcs stories recently, and now I can't read half of these... space orcs stories tend to infantilize aliens, making the reader wonder how they survived long enough to reach space with how fragile they are.
3:21 That doesn't narrow it down.
2:03 money is valuable because we all agree it is :) hope that helps
3:50 SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE BACK OF THE CLASS 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh the Thomas the Tank Engine one had me rolling. Yeah the writer and animator for Shed 17 needs a hug. Thomas fan fiction is either really well written that feels like part of the lore. Or you find yourself asking the writer who hurt you. There is no in between.
Prays be to the humans are space orcs....a blessing, a blessing form the lord (p.m.) lord be prays
To be fair, using all of our brains is like pouring water into your computer. It just doesnt work that way
2:03 idea on why money is so valuable: it’s basically certain goods services provided by working at a job given physical form that can be exchanged for other goods and services.
I just wanted to say, thanks for bringing this back. This series definitely was one of the things i listened to whenever I was down and depressed. It reminded me that humans despite having their misunderstandings and shenanigans, their strength and kindness is what truly makes them whole.
Thank you for giving me hope and the strength to remember that being human means being vulnerable but also having endless possibilities for merely existing. It really is an uplifting series.
WOOOOO I MISSED THIS SO MUCH
HELL YEAH, I MISSED THE SPACE ORCS
2019...was 5 YEARS AGO. GOD DAMN. MORE SPACE ORCS PLEASE I CANNOT HABDLE TIMEE
well that went from silly to sad real quick
This series is how I found you in the first place. Glad you see you back on it
HELL YEAH!!! ITS BACK!!!
Humans are Space Orcs is one of my most favourite genres
Anyone interested: Read the "Empyrian Iris Story Collection" from Charlie Starr. Good stuff with a lot of it, like a real whole lot
A GIFT! A GIFT HAS BEEN BESTOWED UPON US!!! THANK YOU FATHER!!!!
"And this medicine is available cheaply right?" In civilised countries, yes.
I AM SO GLAD for the return of the Space Orcs!!!

Always a treat to see a PMSeymour video about aliens.
Hastar (the king in yellow) wasn’t created by H.P.lovecraft, but was a Erdrich god from the book “the king in yellow” by Robert W. Chambers. H.P.lovecraft was a fan of the book and made references to it in his own works.
The book was written in 1895 but takes place in the 1920’s and the on the first page (on my copy at least) it mentions a war with Germany that had recently ended.
*concentrated and unbridled excitement*
WE have missed you Mr. Alien voice man!
I was fully expecting, for the one about money, when asked "what do you use money for?" For the human to respond like Homer's brain "Money can be exchanged for goods and services!"
And maybe then going into a short description of how paper and coin money is legal placeholder trinkets in a really elaborate IOU, where what's actually being traded is currency that physically isn't real.
I MISSED THIS SO MUUUUUUUCH
Oh, people want to care, just no one feels like they can. There is such a divide between the people who make the laws and those who have to follow them that distracting ourselves with trivial nonsense becomes the only way we feel connected at all . . .
Banknotes were originally valuable because they were a sort of "IOU" (I owe you) or a promise saying if you want to turn this in to the bank they'll give you a certain amount of gold for it. It became a placeholder for carrying gold (a valuable, rare, and shiny mineral) because it was easier to carry and lighter. Eventually people just started using them instead of carrying heavy and clunky coins, but the treasury of whatever country still kept gold on hand because that's what the value of the currency was based on. Cut to today, now money is mostly symbolic of time in the digital age. It is ostensibly still based on the so called "gold standard", but to most people it represents a given amount of time invested in a job.

Yeah baby! Space Orcs! Wooo!

Alien: What are you watching?
Human: Well I’m watching a video relating to this show called “The Amazing Digital Circus”
A: What is “The Amazing Digital Circus” about?
H: It’s about a human who put on a VR headset which transported them to a digital circus where they forgot their identity and have to go through crazy adventures.
A: So what is this video about?
H: Well it’s a short animation of Caine (the ringmaster) telling Pomni (the newcomer) about the success of the first episode.
A: That does seem pretty interesting, but what are those blurred images he’s showing her?
H: It’s just R34 some of the fans made.
A: What is R34?
H: Well…
*a while of explanation later*
A: What the fuck is wrong with these people.
H: I know, right!?
Oh the grave at the last one...
A: Humans have been able to create artificial intelligence? That's incredible!
H: Uh huh..
A: Imagine the possibilities! Humans could solve climate change, travel the cosmos, and discover the mysteries of life!
H: .... Yes... That is what it is being used for.

1:03 untrue, we do not in fact use only 10% of our brains, but merely only know WHAT we use 10% of our brains for, we do use the rest, we just don't know what for

No doctor, scientist or anyone in a similar field has ever claimed we only use 10% of our brains. We use our entire brain; maybe not every single part at every single second, but we use the whole thing.
