@@battlesheep2552Hey! No warning the xenos about that, let them find out. But this reminds me of an old HFY in which the Galactic councill lists various utilitarian and considired harmless things that humanity weaponized and are now war crimes if used again.
@battlesheep2552 The Geneva convention isn't a list of war crimes. The Geneva convention is a list of war crimes that have already been done. P.S., it isn't a war crime if you're the first one to do it.

1st Story: You DO NOT mess with the big lady that keeps us alive in the vacuum of space. That incurrs a death sentence. 2nd Story: For us those are "natural disasters" and we have lived with them for thousands of years. Are you sure you want to fight us?
Xenos fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war on a death world. But only slightly less well known is this. Never insult a ship to it's chief engineer and engineering crew. Doubly so if the engineer is a Scott.
Story 2. Why would you EVER give humans the home field advantage? Location 1: Florida during a hurricane... ( no humans they claimed, but i BET there were a few Floridians out an about, even then 😂) Location 2: the Arctic during the cold season. Just feck off already. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Location 3: Australia, even by human standards, that place is a Deathworld Good luck 🤣🤪😜😁
As a Floridian, I can confirm a bunch of us would've been around. Hurricanes don't scare us much unless they get above a 3, and besides that, we've got all these pretty rifles and easy access to swamps.
@@Maddog3060 Pretty much what I've heard from one of my best friends, who grew up in Puerto Rico and Florida, before deciding on a different sort of extreme weather and moving to Canada. The hurricane stories are incredible.
@@MythicFool The irony here is Aussies are tough. (you have to be in a place where everything is trying to kill you) And they STILL couldn't win. Still, this is the ultimate biloogical weapon. If we are ever fighting aliens who we can't quite dislodge, the admiral turns too his number two and says gravely "Computer, weapon unlock, 001007E, let loose the Emus of war."
@@Wastelandman7000 if they dont peck you to death , you will die laughing at the way they run around like giant headless chickens , to say without a clue of where their feet are going and the head is looking.
This time it's not about a devastating war or something along those lines, but just a friendly bar brawl and a human crew that saw itself forced to defend their ship's honor. I really liked this one. Just throw a couple of Tribbles into the mess for good measure next time. :D
1st story: Reminds me of the Star Trek episode where Klingon's insulted the Enterprise. Story 2: Oh come on, the spiders in Australia are not that big. Guess the species trying to make war is small.
Also 2nd story. They land in space ship troop transport. Any space vehicle should be able to shield the occupants from extreme heath and cold and a hurricane has nothing on a orbital descent. Losing 10k troops in 24h is unrealistic, except for the Australia invasion.
As soon as the said "large pennensula" i started laughing. There are only 2 pennisulas big enough to be called "large" in that context and Italy is to old and historically valuable to wage war there. And Florida... Florida's reputation speaks for itself 😂.
You guys are all technically correct, but there is only one peninsula on this death world that you want aliens to invade, and that would be the one with the alligators, pythons, snapping turtles, bull sharks, hurricanes, and of course deep, southern fried rednecks.
1st story: there was a stripper bar in South Korea in the 1980s that we hung out at where the chairs were bolted to the floor, during the "Team Spirit" exercise when the USMC showed up from Okinawa and decided that it was a great idea to grab a bunch of the dancers off the stage those bolts didn't stop us from removing them from the floor to educate the crayon eaters on their manors.
I remember they made a similar joke on Xenonion about a lithoid species having their ambassador be an inanimate rock and it took 2 years for anyone to realize
@@WorldWalker128 Tiktokers? Hell redditors might do it for a few upvotes. I've seen some lightly deprived shit there. And if not there the deep web has some fun fun places that might do it just for a few bucks.
So in other words, the aliens in the second story gained the second most powerful position in the galaxy by losing a war to and then becoming friends with the current 1st place.
H: "we will be fighting INSIDE a black hole." A: "...WTF do you mean, 'inside a black hole', no one can survive inside a black hole!!!" H: "thats where the fight is so you have to show up"
And I strongly suspect that there were humans in the Artic herding the polar bears as well as a few in Australia herding the emu's. They just weren't seen. I just hope none of the critters were poisoned by alien biology.
Story 1: Basically Trouble with Tribbles, minus the tribbles. Nothing wrong with that, though, I thought it was a fun retelling. Especially since the alien maintenance crew were being a bunch of D-bags. Story 2: Being a Floridian, I have to say that I don't think their entire force would be wiped out. I mean, sure, the hurricane would kill a bunch and a bunch more would be shot by our well-armed population if they tried pushing their invasion acts, and a lot more would die to alligators and cottonmouths and the skeeters sucking their blood dry and the mold and the brain-eating amoeba (hurricanes imply this is the summer seasons when it's warm enough for that evil amoeba to be active in the water) but I think once the horrors of the situation sank in the smart aliens would just kinda give up, and we'd just go collect them and stick them in a building somewhere until the war was over. We're crazy, not cruel down here. Unless you want us to be.
That first one sounds like it was written by a Naval sailor getting details like the NJP (non judicial punishment)and a likely out of NJP for a brawl that had to be broken up by both shore patrol and local law enforcement. (If it's just shore patrol you might slide under the radar but once it is outside of the command, well you done fucked up.) As a surprise bonus Agro pronounced Boatswain correctly (bos'un) and of course more points for the Trekkies.
Anyone noted that the galactic time is PI to the fourth decimal... Landing in Florida, just when a hurricane come crashing the party... In a land of alligators, leaches and other pleasantries... Then, in the middle of the Arctic winter ? Those troops are now pop-cycles. Finally, the scalding dry Australian's Outback Summer.
Insulting ship story: Really??? The author lifted heavily from the original TOS Star Trek series episode, The Trouble with Tribbles. Not to mention giving TNG's Lt. Reg Barclay a demotion and transfer. Not a bad story, but WAY too similar to stand on its own. Deathworld war story: Hmmm... the galaxy must be filled with low gravity Eden planets.
Australian Funnel Webs and Emus? Yeah, that's nightmare fuel until you've watched a South American Bird Spider eating a parrot or seen what happens when something falls into a puddle full of Electric Eels. Then of course you have the "joy" of the open ocean. If you're world isn't at LEAST as deadly as South America, you shouldn't even try coming to Earth.
Up here it's not the beasts that'll kill you most of the time (Wolves and Bull Moose during mating season are exceptions). It's the cold and ice. Greetings from the US!
Loved both stories. The boldness of humanity in the second one is mind-blowing to me. They must have known the enemy ahead of time. Otherwise, unless the troops were just that hidden, there is no way that anyone would bet the entire planet on the weakness of a species that holds a multiplanetary empire. I personally could never take that risk no matter how confident I was that they wouldn't survive. But it is hilarious and has a heartwarming end.
I would assume there where humans in gillie suits all over the place and or attack airboats/planes ready if needed in the Florida encounter. In the Arctic the Polar Bears might have had a snack, along with multiple snipers. (If they landed in the Antarctica by accident they were squished by the cute penguins/ or there environmental suits accustomed to space couldn't keep up with the heat generated by the flightless birds) and survivors taken by sniper. The outback the humans probably just stampeded Emus, Kangaroos and bunnies over them. The spiders and other critters were just happenstance. My guess is most xeno's called it quits quickly and were "casualties" by way of POW. If the timing was right the poor xeno's could have come to the place called Crack a Toe 'eh? Xeno: what a funny name. Xeno 2: ow! I just stubbed my lower appendage. Rumble Xeno: why is no one around for 230's of zamms? KaBoom!
The defender get to choose the time and area of battle. That is no a slight advantage but a significant one. Humans use mines and other traps as well as fortifications.
Besides, why would we want to miss the fun of giving these xenos a warm Florida Man welcome. Every redneck would be out looking for them with beer and plate carriers covered in ammo as soon as the wind dropped below 60mph. If not before.
Whenever one of these stories starts with the words "Incident Report" I know I'm gonna be given a more than likely humorous example of a Xeno's sense of self-preservation or rather the lack there of
You can insult a sailors looks, manhood, ability, even his mother and grandmother, he will just laugh it off, but even THINK about insulting the ship upon which he serves and a battlefield will look like a safe zone.
I had to show this to my boss after he heard me cackling like a maniac yesterday, we both lost it when we heard The Emus. Aliens losing war against the wildlife and weather of our litte planet.
As an Australian I resent that we only lost one war against the Emu's (Pronounced EE-M -You. EE-moo is the sound you hear when a cow steps on someone's foot)
This reminds me of an episode on the original Star..... Where is Scotty is trying to explain to Captain Kirk on why there was a bar fight..... The aliens insulted the crew, the insulted Captain Kirk, but when the insulted the Enterprise by calling her a garbage scow, the gloves hit the floor.......
Never fight a battle in Florida amidst a hurricane. Depending on the Waffle House Index you may deal with the weather & the Floridians(bless their hearts) or a hurricane so bad that the Floridians just decide to board up and have a hurricane party either way they'll be having fun.😁 PS: Don't attack the Waffle House, somehow that has become a relief center and a metric for rating weather severity.
So an unknowing alien observer would think that the Waffle House is either some sort of religious centre, or maybe some sort of disaster relief agency, with a specialty in meteorology? That was just my takeaway.
@@jacobhuff3748 Well yes, that's what it is to the locals, but I can easily imagine xenos experiencing their first Deathworld hurricane, seeing a full Waffle House and thinking that it was something far, far more important, possibly even sacred! For what it's worth, we use Tim Horton's in about the same way around here. ;)
Second story: I began celebrating victory upon hearing the word "Florida". The Everglades will make even Class 9 Deathworld megafauna pause. Me? I'd be setting up a concession stand on the edge of the field. Also a betting pool, in partnership with the Seminole tribal casino, a paid parking lot, and a souvenir stand with 3D printers to make figures of the combatants as they fight. Oh, and accident insurance for spectators. I'm American, after all. Oh, and also hire several licensed alligator hunters, and tell them to bring their friends, to help rescue the invaders.
Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo Story 1: Clearly TOS Trek inspired, not that I'm complaining! Story 2: Planet Earth FY. Or Terra FY, if you will.
Ah yes the Australian enviroment and animals never under estimate it or as you see you will lose, 3 seperate forces destroyed in bad weather/animal attacks cannot help but laugh, Thankfully we humans were given choice of were to fight so as to use the planet to fight without a loss for us and now we are greatest allies to them. Great stories and as always love to listen to your way of telling them.
As soon as I heard the sentence “they called the area Florida” I snorted and started laughing while going “oh no!” Florida is my home and I love it here but I know those Xenos will hate it… swarms of mosquitos so large they look like clouds of smog… crocodiles… crazy Floridamen… venomous snakes… swamps… absolutely 0 natural cover in the form of hills and such, and plenty of hurricanes and rainstorms
The First Great Emu War emerged as a legendary tale, marked by diplomatic blunders, whimsical warfare, and the unexpected heroism of humans. The conflict began at the United Nations of Avian Species, where the emus, always immaculately dressed in feathered suits, proposed to widen sidewalks for their long strides. This suggestion sparked outrage among the shorter-legged penguins, who saw it as a blatant disregard for their needs. Tensions escalated when a delegation of penguins, in their natural tuxedo markings, slid belly-first into an emu congress meeting, disrupting the proceedings and igniting the war. However, this was no ordinary war. It was fought with whipped cream cannons and rubber fish, a testament to its intention to embarrass rather than harm. Battlefields were comedic scenes of chaos, with emus strategically dodging whipped cream while penguins expertly wielded rubber fish. In this avian-dominated world, humans, perceived as quaint beasts of burden, played a crucial role. They were the oversized message carriers, traversing the treacherous terrains of the emu plains and penguin ice lands, often outpaced by the casually strolling emu diplomats. Despite their menial status, humans displayed remarkable resilience and determination, always completing their tasks regardless of the odds or danger. Their bravery shone in instances like navigating through a storm of whipped cream bombs dropped by cockatoos or crossing rivers swarming with pelicans. These acts of human courage and ingenuity were so inspiring that they momentarily paused the battles, with birds from both sides watching in awe. As the war progressed, the avian world watched with a mix of amusement and apprehension. Parrots flew overhead with news reports, owls convened for strategy meetings, and neutral ducks provided medical aid for whipped cream burns and rubber fish bruises. The human involvement in the war led to an unexpected development. Their unwavering commitment and bravery earned them a newfound respect among the avian nations. Stories of their daring deeds spread, and they were soon seen not just as bearers of burdens but as valiant and resourceful allies. This shift in perception played a crucial role in the resolution of the war. The birds began to value human input and perspective in their diplomatic discussions. The final peace treaty, a symbol of interspecies cooperation, was signed not only by emu and penguin leaders but also by human representatives, marking a new era of mutual respect and collaboration. The First Great Emu War, with its whimsy and absurdity, ended with a profound lesson in unity and the recognition of the indomitable human spirit. It became a story told to fledglings in nests, a reminder that in the grand aviary of life, every bird, no matter their stride or leg length, and every human, regardless of their role, had a place and value in the world. It was a tale of how differences can lead to conflict, but also how humor, understanding, and unexpected heroism can restore peace and foster harmony among the most unlikely of allies.
Addendum 1: Always try to avoid offending Humans. Addendum 2: If the Humans in question hail from an area on their home planet called 'Scotland' never, ever, in any circumstance, offend them, we do not want a repeat of what happened in the Tigris51 sector, or what's left of it.
Story 1: Never insult a vehicle in front of its crew and/or maintenance personnel. Pain comes in many flavors, would you like to experience them all? Story 2: For all the battles, I suspect the humans were there, just that the aliens were unable to see them due to the weather conditions. Florida: they were standing just out of the aliens visual range in their shorts and t-shirts and waving while the aliens were blown away by the winds, crushed by debris, or drowned to flooding. Eaten by local snakes or alligators is also a possibility. Arctic: Depending on which region would dictate which arctic group (Inuit, Finns, Russians, etc.) were hidden in the snow watching them freeze to death. Australia: You just know that the Aussies were throwing a bar-b-que and watching the festivities. The aliens just claimed the humans weren't there to try and retain SOME sense of dignity, and the humans let them because it doesn't hurt them.
Story 1 - drunks being drunks and humans being humans Story 2 - Aliens: We want your planet! Humans: Before you get ahead of yourself, let's see if you can *survive* the planet. Aliens: Survive the planet and win? Ha! Easy victory! Planet Earth in all her glory: Are you sure about that? FtA!

Hell, as soon as the party was over every redneck with an AR (and we all have one) would be out looking to welcome our visitors.
Sonia must have been glad to catch up on her technical Manuals after that.
Whenever one of these stories starts with the words "Incident Report" I know I'm gonna be given a more than likely humorous example of a Xeno's sense of self-preservation or rather the lack there of
Ha! Nice "Trouble with Tribbles" reference!
For the algorithm!
For the Bodied voice!
For the author!
Fantastic as always! You make the stories come alive.
They just needed friendship and bug spray
Another great couple of stories Agro!!
You can insult a sailors looks, manhood, ability, even his mother and grandmother, he will just laugh it off, but even THINK about insulting the ship upon which he serves and a battlefield will look like a safe zone.
I had to show this to my boss after he heard me cackling like a maniac yesterday, we both lost it when we heard The Emus. Aliens losing war against the wildlife and weather of our litte planet.
Famous last words: "Oh, come on, it's just a bad weather..."
Here is your like and comment as a thank you for the stories and to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve.
Very good stories.
For the algorithm!
2nd story: "You want to dance? Come to our playground "
Oh, dear God, Australia! I knew the aliens' geese were cooked when the battle was scheduled there.
thanks for the stories and narration
I was waiting for tribbles in the first story.
First one: “Welp, that’s an incident report.”
OMFG those damned emus, lol! I'm surprised Brazil wasn't chosen as one of the battlefield. :D
Arctic? The Arctic isn't so bad, even in winter. Look at Yakutsk. I think he meant to say Antarctica. That place is a death sentence even in summer.
"No enemy in a hundred worlds is more fearsome than 5 kilometers of unknown train"
Don't trust unknown trains... Only trust the ones that have Union Pacific and other company logos.
As an Australian I resent that we only lost one war against the Emu's (Pronounced EE-M -You. EE-moo is the sound you hear when a cow steps on someone's foot)
Florida during a little blow, the arctic during winter and the Outback. Those poor idiots never stood a chance.
1:58 Scotty would be proud.
First story: Scotty approves this message..
Second story: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
LOL!!! Great stories; excellent narration!
Keep it going Agro. For the algorithm.
This was a bit for Star Trek TOC where Scotty and Chekhov had to be “nice” to the Klingons. All went well until they insulted the Enterprise.
Amazing video
Ahh the trouble with tribbles.
This reminds me of an episode on the original Star..... Where is Scotty is trying to explain to Captain Kirk on why there was a bar fight..... The aliens insulted the crew, the insulted Captain Kirk, but when the insulted the Enterprise by calling her a garbage scow, the gloves hit the floor.......
Good storys and great narration!
I kept seeing Scotty from TOS during that 1st story.
Story 1: Cheif Engineer Scotty threw the first punch. I seen it as a kid, Yes I'm old
When Australia and its critters was mentioned, I started laughing.
Never fight a battle in Florida amidst a hurricane. Depending on the Waffle House Index you may deal with the weather & the Floridians(bless their hearts) or a hurricane so bad that the Floridians just decide to board up and have a hurricane party either way they'll be having fun.😁
PS: Don't attack the Waffle House, somehow that has become a relief center and a metric for rating weather severity.
So an unknowing alien observer would think that the Waffle House is either some sort of religious centre, or maybe some sort of disaster relief agency, with a specialty in meteorology?
That was just my takeaway.
@@thing_under_the_stairs more of an informal indicator for the severity of the storm & ease of local economic recovery.
@@jacobhuff3748 Well yes, that's what it is to the locals, but I can easily imagine xenos experiencing their first Deathworld hurricane, seeing a full Waffle House and thinking that it was something far, far more important, possibly even sacred!
For what it's worth, we use Tim Horton's in about the same way around here. ;)
@@jacobhuff3748it is not informal.
Well Done
Second story: I began celebrating victory upon hearing the word "Florida". The Everglades will make even Class 9 Deathworld megafauna pause. Me? I'd be setting up a concession stand on the edge of the field. Also a betting pool, in partnership with the Seminole tribal casino, a paid parking lot, and a souvenir stand with 3D printers to make figures of the combatants as they fight. Oh, and accident insurance for spectators. I'm American, after all. Oh, and also hire several licensed alligator hunters, and tell them to bring their friends, to help rescue the invaders.
The Emus!!! Truly a savage biological weapon… never did these aliens stand a chance against such monsters.
The first story bears a mild resemblance to a certain Star Trek (TOS) episode...not that I mind it. 😉
Greetings, Mentlegent!
For the Rhyhtm that is Algo
Story 1: Clearly TOS Trek inspired, not that I'm complaining!
Story 2: Planet Earth FY. Or Terra FY, if you will.
Ah yes the Australian enviroment and animals never under estimate it or as you see you will lose, 3 seperate forces destroyed in bad weather/animal attacks cannot help but laugh, Thankfully we humans were given choice of were to fight so as to use the planet to fight without a loss for us and now we are greatest allies to them. Great stories and as always love to listen to your way of telling them.
wow great story
While Earth is a Deathword, Australia is a class above that. Emus. My God, Emus.
As soon as I heard the sentence “they called the area Florida” I snorted and started laughing while going “oh no!”
Florida is my home and I love it here but I know those Xenos will hate it… swarms of mosquitos so large they look like clouds of smog… crocodiles… crazy Floridamen… venomous snakes… swamps… absolutely 0 natural cover in the form of hills and such, and plenty of hurricanes and rainstorms
Your our friend now, we’re having soft taco’s later!
This would be the first war ever won where the soldiers on one side did nothing but watch the action on video and eat popcorn.
Only 30000 lost in the war? That's adorable !
Congrats. 800 likes in 2 hours! Also what i.e.m.s are you using?
Ahhh, no place like home.
Aliens race starting a war with emues, may God have mercy on their souls.
The First Great Emu War emerged as a legendary tale, marked by diplomatic blunders, whimsical warfare, and the unexpected heroism of humans.
The conflict began at the United Nations of Avian Species, where the emus, always immaculately dressed in feathered suits, proposed to widen sidewalks for their long strides. This suggestion sparked outrage among the shorter-legged penguins, who saw it as a blatant disregard for their needs. Tensions escalated when a delegation of penguins, in their natural tuxedo markings, slid belly-first into an emu congress meeting, disrupting the proceedings and igniting the war.
However, this was no ordinary war. It was fought with whipped cream cannons and rubber fish, a testament to its intention to embarrass rather than harm. Battlefields were comedic scenes of chaos, with emus strategically dodging whipped cream while penguins expertly wielded rubber fish.
In this avian-dominated world, humans, perceived as quaint beasts of burden, played a crucial role. They were the oversized message carriers, traversing the treacherous terrains of the emu plains and penguin ice lands, often outpaced by the casually strolling emu diplomats. Despite their menial status, humans displayed remarkable resilience and determination, always completing their tasks regardless of the odds or danger.
Their bravery shone in instances like navigating through a storm of whipped cream bombs dropped by cockatoos or crossing rivers swarming with pelicans. These acts of human courage and ingenuity were so inspiring that they momentarily paused the battles, with birds from both sides watching in awe.
As the war progressed, the avian world watched with a mix of amusement and apprehension. Parrots flew overhead with news reports, owls convened for strategy meetings, and neutral ducks provided medical aid for whipped cream burns and rubber fish bruises.
The human involvement in the war led to an unexpected development. Their unwavering commitment and bravery earned them a newfound respect among the avian nations. Stories of their daring deeds spread, and they were soon seen not just as bearers of burdens but as valiant and resourceful allies.
This shift in perception played a crucial role in the resolution of the war. The birds began to value human input and perspective in their diplomatic discussions. The final peace treaty, a symbol of interspecies cooperation, was signed not only by emu and penguin leaders but also by human representatives, marking a new era of mutual respect and collaboration.
The First Great Emu War, with its whimsy and absurdity, ended with a profound lesson in unity and the recognition of the indomitable human spirit. It became a story told to fledglings in nests, a reminder that in the grand aviary of life, every bird, no matter their stride or leg length, and every human, regardless of their role, had a place and value in the world. It was a tale of how differences can lead to conflict, but also how humor, understanding, and unexpected heroism can restore peace and foster harmony among the most unlikely of allies.
They offered blood to the blood gods and was blessed.
Addendum 1: Always try to avoid offending Humans.
Addendum 2: If the Humans in question hail from an area on their home planet called 'Scotland' never, ever, in any circumstance, offend them, we do not want a repeat of what happened in the Tigris51 sector, or what's left of it.
How is this different from shore leave in Liverpool?
It isn't. They'd have got their clock cleaned in Liverpool too I suspect.
For the Emus, the squirrel, and the algorithm…. Burn the spiders😂
For the band known as the Al Gore Rhythms.
The first was just a re-write of a star trek scene, from the trouble with tribbles.
Never underestimate a long legged bird. Lol
Story one. "BELIEVE IT OR NOT OUR SHIPS ARE FAMILY. FECK YOU!"
Story 2: "Good luck betch!"
Story 1: Never insult a vehicle in front of its crew and/or maintenance personnel. Pain comes in many flavors, would you like to experience them all?
Story 2: For all the battles, I suspect the humans were there, just that the aliens were unable to see them due to the weather conditions.
Florida: they were standing just out of the aliens visual range in their shorts and t-shirts and waving while the aliens were blown away by the winds, crushed by debris, or drowned to flooding. Eaten by local snakes or alligators is also a possibility.
Arctic: Depending on which region would dictate which arctic group (Inuit, Finns, Russians, etc.) were hidden in the snow watching them freeze to death.
Australia: You just know that the Aussies were throwing a bar-b-que and watching the festivities.
The aliens just claimed the humans weren't there to try and retain SOME sense of dignity, and the humans let them because it doesn't hurt them.
❤it keep them coming! Jeers!!😅
We love you Catfish21
Nice.
The humans kick alien butt and make alien alliances after😂😂😂❤❤❤
Story 1 - drunks being drunks and humans being humans
Story 2 - Aliens: We want your planet!
Humans: Before you get ahead of yourself, let's see if you can *survive* the planet.
Aliens: Survive the planet and win? Ha! Easy victory!
Planet Earth in all her glory: Are you sure about that?
FtA!
