@@skepticalmagos_101 Had to google that because I'd never heard an Asiatic Black Bear called that before. I thought Baloo was supposed to be a Sloth Bear? Also, I was mostly thinking about Polar Bears as the exception. They literally don't fear humans as a species, instead of just certain individuals like other types of bears.
And why are bears and so many other dangerous animals on Earth scared of humans? Because we spent basically the entirety of our specie's existence hunting and killing for revenge every single predator that killed any human...which means we engaged in an instinctive selective breeding program beyond the scale of even our own comprehension of all the large land predators of the entire planet until we had bread "do not bite humans or they will kill you" into most of them in the same way that they learned to instinctively avoid brightly colored frogs to avoid poison and the buzzing of bees to avoid being stung. And then AFTER that we finally figured out farming. In other words, we are, in a sense, the mammalian version of the hornet: so violently insane and tending to live in groups that even things that can reliably take us 1v1 steer clear of us when possible. It's no wonder cats saw us as a species they could understand and get along with, those adorable fluffy murder balls.

how to instill fear at every meeting with aliens ever. step one; make sure you have the slow turning armchair. step 2; have fluffy cat in lap. step three; hug and give all the attention to house cat and talk in baby voice to it. bonus for cat that purrs loudly enough to hear from a few feet away. step four; profit.
@@UNSCPILOT I think dogs would be more effective. Far larger than a house cat, a loud bark, a threatening growl on command, and a teethy snarl that scares even most humans away. :P Though the image of a house cat striking terror in a meeting with aliens is funnier of course.

"How have humans survived?" Well, while we were in our arboreal phase, we developed binocular vision that allowed us to accurately and instinctively gauge parabolic arcs and trajectories. And our forelimbs stopped being used for locomotion and became intricate graspers we used to hurl ourselves from tree to tree. When we returned to a terrestrial lifestyle, we discovered that our limbs and eyes synergized to become mass drivers. We have siege cannons for arms. This video is not a military drill, it is a game called baseball.
The absurdity of calling our arms "mass drivers" tickles me in the most "technically correct is the best kind of correct" kind of way. Some of these aliens always make me wonder how they survived on anything but their homeworld though. Best I can guess as a superpower is our ability to survive terrifying amounts of damage and not simply succumb to it paired with our exceptional energy efficiency and adaptive immune system. Basically, we're optimized for making mistakes and escaping them.
Imagine; You've lived your entire life thinking a particular animal is a vicious beast capable of tearing you limb from limb. The fear you feel towards this creature keeps you up at night. And then the person sitting next to you in class says they want to "pet the cute little thing" with not a hint of sarcasm.
It must be human bias, but I would think that they're absolutely badass. Wouldn't fear them as long as they're friendly. Who doesn't want a badass friend?
To be fair from some of the other stories i found a lot of these aliens are like tissue paper compared to terrestrial life so a house cat probabaly could kill a lot of them. LOL.

@@anthonygenco5051 and here we have dire-wolves largely solitary hunters that went extinct or devolved into modern day wolves who are some if not the most proficient pack hunters on earth and for context we humans domesticated wolven ancestors as pets, and they are now some of our closest friends and companions both in peace and war.
She should have said that humans survived because they tamed alot of the dangerous and not dangerous creatures and made them allies in the fight to the top. The wolf, hog, horse, ram, bull, bird, and most importantly each other.
Also because our habit of ganging up on things we don't like and murdering the fuck out of them until they stop existing entirely. We used to have Haast's Eagles, which were big enough to just grab people, kids particularly, and fly off with them for lunch. Murdered the fuck out of those bastards. They're dead now. Also there was this thing called smallpox.
Of course, Julie is a little kid, so she wouldn't necessarily know these kinds of details, just the basic mythos about humans being the most dangerous predator on Earth.
Humans rule earth because we can run forever, throw rocks, and poke things with sticks. It helps to do it as a team but you don't NEED to, unless you have to fight humans. Then you need fancy ways of throwing rocks and poking with sticks.
Which ironically is no more dangerous than any other. I know we love the stereotype, I use it all the time when talking to Antipodean friends, but it is not true.

why when you said that did the girls who had to watch a full live birth in school, and the looks on their faces, come into my mind... and why is it at the same age others were getting trauma from that shit i was eating a snack as i was forced to watch that shit and... even pre-intenet.... it just didnt phase me...will outside the part where the doctor took poo the face because they had not cleaned the gal out before starting that time... as i told a female friend... "dont you love it when they do all they can to make it so that girls dont want to ever have children?" she fucking lost it laughing... she delivered her sisters kid at 12 because, the ambulance didnt make it in time and .. sister told her "its just like a calf, just support the head and neck, be very careful/gental/etc.." she had delivered several calfs and lambs over the years so... by the time the emt's showed up, they just checked vitals and offered to take her to the ER if she wanted.. she decided she saw no reason to go to the ER since things had gone so smooth, the old gal who was driving the other 2 EMT's actually did deliver the afterbirth, they stuck around for over an hour then took off when the elderly gal from down the way came up to check and said she would keep an eye on things, she was a midwife for over 40 years so.. good hands.. my friend was so proud of herself and, rightly so.. anyway... in HS and even JR.High that shit didnt phase us like it did so many others.. still... i know a few gals who had to do therapy to get over what tehy saw in jr.high and/or highschool in those classes, scared as hell to risk getting an std or knocked up... even thought hey wanted to get married and have a family.. oh, gods, imagine the presentation covering shit like STD's, then moving up in size and watching the poor foolish xenos reactions LOL...

If you’re looking to get rid of all people who want to control others, say goodbye to the majority of the human population. People who won’t use power to benefit themselves, even if it’s not at the expense of others, are the rule and not the exception.
We rule because our evolutionary processes understood that no matter how much muscle we get, how tough our bones became, how intelligent we turned out to be, nothing could possibly defeat the killing potential of the materials all around us. Nature, is far more deadly, than anything evolution will ever create. And so we threw rocks, sharpened them into knives to stab or javelins to fling, and when the pain of our prey caught up to them, causing them to run, we developed in terms of stamina, not to out run them, no, but to keep right up on their tails until they either bleed out, or their hearts explode.
You want to know something about Persistence Hunting? It does not work in the way you THINK it does. You see, when most people on HFY threads talk about Persistence Hunting they are thinking humans ran animals to exhaustion. They are only PARTIALLY correct. We ran them to HEAT Exhaustion. And the heat in that is VERY important. Fact is Persistence hunting does not work outside hot, dry climates, like the African Savanna. It does not rely on some mythical endurance of humans, it relies on the fact we transfer heat more efficiently than other mammals. Once you get into cooler climates, persistence hunting is a non viable method of hunting, which is why early humans abandoned it pretty quickly. Wild fit humans do have a great deal of endurance, don't get me wrong, but its no greater than say wolves, or moose, or that of many migratory animals on earth. We are not special there, even if we are in the higher end of the bracket.
In the words of the wise Max0r "So imagine you're this big fucking turkey and it's almost time for Thanksgiving. But no matter how much you run, when you turn around _he's still there._ And even worse, *it's wearing your skin."*
Humans are zombies. They never stop coming. You can injure them in ways that would cause most animals to die or go into shock and they still don't stop coming.

Um yeah. I have something to tell you about that. . All living complex mammals reptiles and amphibians all come from a common ancestor. It came out of the water one day in the past and decided that land would be a good place that animal would evolve into the first amphibians which would then branch out into reptires then the rest. It was a fish.. You humans are the descendants of fish.
"Those were the predators, now let's talk about some plant eaters next. Specifically the elephant, hippopotamus, American Bison, and Gorilla." :P (If they thought bears were already big and musclular...heh...)
A good thing to remember, carnivores kill for food. Make it not worth the effort and they will look for easier prey. If an herbivore is trying to kill you, it's because *they want you dead.* Pray you can best them, cause they sure as hell ain't backing down.

He did however, enjoy wrestling and beer, so honestly, not much different from the average soldier.
Humans individually or unprepared aren't all too dangerous compared to everything else out there, but humans are rarely both alone and unprepared. A prepared human is scary, a prepared group of humans is terrifying. But what really put us on the top of the food chain was our ability to tame the dangerous wilds. We tamed the wolves and made them our hounds. We tamed the land and made it grow safe food in plenty. We tamed water and made it turn our grinders. We tamed the air and now soar through it faster than any bird. We tamed lightning and rocks and use them to manage logistics on an impossible level or play games that are simulations of war. We tamed the minerals for better tools too. Yes, our world is dangerous, but we have now caused a lot of it to heel at our command and work wonders beyond what we could alone.
You have to remember all the small organisms. When accounting for that, humans have abilities and senses better than 99.9 percent of all animals. Better speed than most, better eyes than most, better strength than most, and much better endurance than almost all. Now, remember all that. How top of the circle we are. Factor in the brain. The human brain is almost an impossible cheat stat. It's so far and away the best brain in the whole ecosystem that absolutely nothing comes remotely close. Not even in the same galaxy close. Humans are A-class or above for every category. The brain is god class. Remember, you have to count all life. Not just highly specialized outliers. We are a jack of all trades that is an expert at all. Sometimes not the best eyesight, or hearing, or whatever. But man, our arsenal is completely stacked. Then there is the tactical Nuke that is the brain and the graph doesn't just change, it's obliterated.
Ok that was amazing. Also wonder what they would say if you started going into the climate and how the weather changes. Not even things like earthquakes are volcanoes

We survived by being WAY too good at two things: Throwing stuff and being able to pack bond with almost anything... Even inanimate objects. Those skills allowed us to ward off predators and gather enough game and wild plants and berries to hunker down for the winter. Being able to settle allowed for agriculture for making beer and bread... It kinda snowballed from there.
[Alien freaks out about snow] [Me, a Floridian, feeling personally attacked] :P Anyway, this is so nice. Children aren't stuck in their ways like adults are, and so they'd be more able to adapt once they got over the shock of it all.
Should have showed a video of an orca yeeting a seal. Sharks are scary, but orcas are terrifying. Lucky us they probably find us to be more trouble than we’re worth.
Many animals seem to have an instinctual knowledge that if you hurt a human, more are coming and survival is questionable at best. Coyotes are a good example of this. There are stories of packs of coyotes avoiding lone children who would be easy prey because they know what happens when you fall for that trap.
Maybe not. I work with children and they absolutely love videos about predators, books about predators, games involving (imaginary/pretend) predators, seeing predators at a zoo/aquarium/nature center. There’s something very appealing about being scared and safe at the same. They also like to imagine (and sometimes act out) fighting and either killing or taming a dangerous predator-especially the younger kids. Then again, it’s probably instinctive in some way for humans-I’m not sure if it would be the same for a species that evolved on a planet without dangerous predators.
There's slightly more "Terran helps an alien survive after they both crash on a different planet together" stories, usually with the added note that their shipwreck planet is actually less dangerous than primeval Earth
I remember a story with a similar theme: where they were investigating an 'ice' planet, called something like 'Winter's Heart' or something...and then the landing vessels heat fails, and the alien is completely freaking out and thinks death is imminent. Human looks outside and realizes it's like -5 out, and the planet is comically hospitable to (human) life in comparison with the name. The reason though was the aliens who found it were cold-blooded, which is also how the alien ends up living, the human stuffs him into his shirt and uses his body heat to keep him alive for the hours/days it takes a rescue vessel to arrive.
Sheesh! If they freak out at the everyday creature what type of insanity would we deliver with our Fictional Horror stories!! Image the PTSD a intelligent octopus would get when it reads Lovecraft... I'm not cleaning up that inky mess. 😑

Fun fact about hippos, they actually can't swim. Rather they evolved to have such a high body density that they just sink and proceed to just run along the bottom like they would run on land. For perspective, even elephants, though much heavier, still have a low enough body density to swim in some capacity.
this actually makes sense for a change, usually its "ooh those essential things for livr are for some reason toxic" but here everyone just comes from planets with more homogeneous climate and less dangerous wild life... both most likely as a result of there civilisation, weather control and predators going extinct while civilisations forget about those things

Humanity has forgotten its greatest horrors. The hippo can bite and kill anything up to modern cars and are both extremely aggressive and territorial. They could kill every thing made by human hands for almost all of history, including quadremes, which are among most heavily manned ships in human history to this day.

If you add one point to your Deathworld score for each thing that can kill you within your environment, Earth must be around +2000. I tried to make a list like that and was in the 20+ range before I even got to the surface of the planet. Yes, our air is also dangerous.
She didn't even get to the part about sperm whales that repeatedly dive into depths even only the best of our military submarines can reach. And once these apex predators the size of a school bus are down there they hunt other similarly massive apex predators because they're the most efficient food sources for each other.

"How have humans survived?"
Well, while we were in our arboreal phase, we developed binocular vision that allowed us to accurately and instinctively gauge parabolic arcs and trajectories. And our forelimbs stopped being used for locomotion and became intricate graspers we used to hurl ourselves from tree to tree. When we returned to a terrestrial lifestyle, we discovered that our limbs and eyes synergized to become mass drivers. We have siege cannons for arms. This video is not a military drill, it is a game called baseball.

@@morescodesup2087 ugh ugh throw rock , rock hit thing brain very happy it mean tummy happy now have food! ^^
@@Amoth_oth_ras_shash Here, take notched stick. It help you throw Pointy Stick much farther.
Nah we just got lucky
The absurdity of calling our arms "mass drivers" tickles me in the most "technically correct is the best kind of correct" kind of way.
Some of these aliens always make me wonder how they survived on anything but their homeworld though. Best I can guess as a superpower is our ability to survive terrifying amounts of damage and not simply succumb to it paired with our exceptional energy efficiency and adaptive immune system. Basically, we're optimized for making mistakes and escaping them.
Imagine; You've lived your entire life thinking a particular animal is a vicious beast capable of tearing you limb from limb.
The fear you feel towards this creature keeps you up at night.
And then the person sitting next to you in class says they want to "pet the cute little thing" with not a hint of sarcasm.
I would unirronicly probably shit myself or look at them in complete horror and get a solid 10 foot clearing of them
Humans seeing aliens having tamed bears: "oh, nice." And all the other aliens fainting.
It must be human bias, but I would think that they're absolutely badass. Wouldn't fear them as long as they're friendly. Who doesn't want a badass friend?
To be fair from some of the other stories i found a lot of these aliens are like tissue paper compared to terrestrial life so a house cat probabaly could kill a lot of them. LOL.

@@Nyrufa For my ancient history lesson, I wanted to show you all some ancient creatures. This is a Smilodon. Though they are extinct, _our _*_less advanced_*_ ancestors likely hunted them at some point._
We have also found fossils of Machairodus lahayishupup, *which hunted rhinos, and were even bigger than the Smilodon.*
@@anthonygenco5051 and here we have dire-wolves largely solitary hunters that went extinct or devolved into modern day wolves who are some if not the most proficient pack hunters on earth and for context we humans domesticated wolven ancestors as pets, and they are now some of our closest friends and companions both in peace and war.
Hold my beer. Daughter is a shark trainer at SeaWorld Gold Coast.
She should have said that humans survived because they tamed alot of the dangerous and not dangerous creatures and made them allies in the fight to the top. The wolf, hog, horse, ram, bull, bird, and most importantly each other.
Also because our habit of ganging up on things we don't like and murdering the fuck out of them until they stop existing entirely. We used to have Haast's Eagles, which were big enough to just grab people, kids particularly, and fly off with them for lunch. Murdered the fuck out of those bastards. They're dead now. Also there was this thing called smallpox.

Humans rule earth because we can run forever, throw rocks, and poke things with sticks. It helps to do it as a team but you don't NEED to, unless you have to fight humans. Then you need fancy ways of throwing rocks and poking with sticks.

In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories.

I feel especially bad for the teacher. He had good intentions, but very nearly made Julie even more ostracized instead of connecting with the others. If it weren't for the students themselves being kids and extremely curious of dangerous stuff, Julie would've probably devolved into a depressed outcast, and the teacher feeling nothing but crushing guilt over the situation.
An attitude utterly at odds with their reaction to even mild dangers. The instinct to explore and investigate from a position of reasonable safety is a HUMAN survival trait.
@@Ryvaken Of course, what we consider "reasonable safety" might be seen as dangerously close to others as well. Then again, there are a couple of sayings where even we know to be afriad when we hear them.

"Trust me, I know what I am doing and- uh oh."

The alien viruses have evolved to attack different body types, except Humans.
Could the viruses and bacteria mutate to attack humans or aliens later on down the line?
Probably. If the races Coexist for a while. Yeah, Eventually.
When it happens, if it happens, it would likely be a pain in so many butts to create an approximate vaccine, let alone a cure for that specific viral or bacterial strain.

Welcome to that other very human thing, PTSD, class.
why when you said that did the girls who had to watch a full live birth in school, and the looks on their faces, come into my mind...
and why is it at the same age others were getting trauma from that shit i was eating a snack as i was forced to watch that shit and... even pre-intenet.... it just didnt phase me...will outside the part where the doctor took poo the face because they had not cleaned the gal out before starting that time... as i told a female friend... "dont you love it when they do all they can to make it so that girls dont want to ever have children?" she fucking lost it laughing... she delivered her sisters kid at 12 because, the ambulance didnt make it in time and .. sister told her "its just like a calf, just support the head and neck, be very careful/gental/etc.." she had delivered several calfs and lambs over the years so... by the time the emt's showed up, they just checked vitals and offered to take her to the ER if she wanted.. she decided she saw no reason to go to the ER since things had gone so smooth, the old gal who was driving the other 2 EMT's actually did deliver the afterbirth, they stuck around for over an hour then took off when the elderly gal from down the way came up to check and said she would keep an eye on things, she was a midwife for over 40 years so.. good hands.. my friend was so proud of herself and, rightly so.. anyway... in HS and even JR.High that shit didnt phase us like it did so many others..
still... i know a few gals who had to do therapy to get over what tehy saw in jr.high and/or highschool in those classes, scared as hell to risk getting an std or knocked up... even thought hey wanted to get married and have a family..
oh, gods, imagine the presentation covering shit like STD's, then moving up in size and watching the poor foolish xenos reactions LOL... "what has been seen, cannot be unseen"
hell i want to see the reaction to them showing off our pets... hehe.... cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, snakes, lizzards, spiders, scorpions, on and on... humans will make anything we can, into a pet... also part of why we are the most dangerous creatures on the planet overall.. we dont just bond with our own kind, but... form packs with other animals... and somehow get creatures that would normally be predatory/prey, to act like bloody family...
for all of our flaws, humanity has "potential".... if we could just remove all the elite who feel the need to own and control and exploit the rest of us, and focus energy/resources/etc on things that elevate humanity rather then having endless wars for profit, as easy ways to launder money, etc...
show me a war that wasnt started by elites that didnt cost civilian lives....
anyway... PTSD.. is a hell of a thing.. nothing visual can seem to do that to me... but false rape charges sure as fuck did that to me for decades i would wake up in cold sweat, heart pounding, no idea why....just wake up freaking the fuckout.... but hey, im assured no real harm comes from false rape charges or the fallout of them... *EYEROLL*
If you’re looking to get rid of all people who want to control others, say goodbye to the majority of the human population. People who won’t use power to benefit themselves, even if it’s not at the expense of others, are the rule and not the exception.
Exception and not the rule, I mean
We rule because our evolutionary processes understood that no matter how much muscle we get, how tough our bones became, how intelligent we turned out to be, nothing could possibly defeat the killing potential of the materials all around us. Nature, is far more deadly, than anything evolution will ever create. And so we threw rocks, sharpened them into knives to stab or javelins to fling, and when the pain of our prey caught up to them, causing them to run, we developed in terms of stamina, not to out run them, no, but to keep right up on their tails until they either bleed out, or their hearts explode.
Heh -- next thing to teach them is persistence hunting -- that would give half the class nightmares.
You want to know something about Persistence Hunting? It does not work in the way you THINK it does. You see, when most people on HFY threads talk about Persistence Hunting they are thinking humans ran animals to exhaustion. They are only PARTIALLY correct. We ran them to HEAT Exhaustion. And the heat in that is VERY important.
Fact is Persistence hunting does not work outside hot, dry climates, like the African Savanna. It does not rely on some mythical endurance of humans, it relies on the fact we transfer heat more efficiently than other mammals. Once you get into cooler climates, persistence hunting is a non viable method of hunting, which is why early humans abandoned it pretty quickly.
Wild fit humans do have a great deal of endurance, don't get me wrong, but its no greater than say wolves, or moose, or that of many migratory animals on earth. We are not special there, even if we are in the higher end of the bracket.
Or kemodo dragons, one bite and you die days later, with it patiently waiting at a distance the whole time...
So hide and seek or tag? Literally you can take children that have no experience with other children and they can identify those two games.
In the words of the wise Max0r
"So imagine you're this big fucking turkey and it's almost time for Thanksgiving. But no matter how much you run, when you turn around _he's still there._ And even worse, *it's wearing your skin."*
Humans are zombies. They never stop coming. You can injure them in ways that would cause most animals to die or go into shock and they still don't stop coming.
The fishies are true deathworld predators.

Um yeah. I have something to tell you about that. .
All living complex mammals reptiles and amphibians all come from a common ancestor.
It came out of the water one day in the past and decided that land would be a good place that animal would evolve into the first amphibians which would then branch out into reptires then the rest.
It was a fish..
You humans are the descendants of fish.
I thought the instructor was indicating that Julie gets an "A" for surviving the hardest of environments... a school lunchroom... full of kids.
"Those were the predators, now let's talk about some plant eaters next. Specifically the elephant, hippopotamus, American Bison, and Gorilla." :P (If they thought bears were already big and musclular...heh...)
Those are really terrifying
You forgot moose
Zebras are notorious butt holes in the animal kingdom.
And for the Gorilla, "These are our evolutionary cousins".
A good thing to remember, carnivores kill for food. Make it not worth the effort and they will look for easier prey.
If an herbivore is trying to kill you, it's because *they want you dead.* Pray you can best them, cause they sure as hell ain't backing down.
You may think that they are scary but we're the crazy apes they run away from
Taske failed successfully. The teacher wanted the class to make friends with Julie by showing she wasn’t that scary. Class proceeds to make friends when scariness is confirmed.
I could only imagine if chaos that would have been caused if it would have been with something like some pictures with , "This is our dog, he sleeps at the foot my bed, he is always happy to see me giving me big kisses whenever I have been away, now here is a photo of him tearing a rabbit apart cause he got too rough playing with it."

@@Groza_Dallocort Man, THAT bear was awesome! He earned a rank too with his work hauling mortar shells, he was PRIVATE Wojtek.
Edit: Upon looking into it further, seems that the mortar shell hauling is just a legend, they tried but he couldn't figure it out, and the story was born from a joke pulled on the writer of the first book about Wojtek by the soldiers. He did however, enjoy wrestling and beer, so honestly, not much different from the average soldier.

Imagine a presentation on the predators we hunted to extinction during the Stone Age…

I mean you only get one tea time in that chair. How barbaric
The cocktail table must be banned in every civilized galaxy!
Someone get the Spanish Inquisition.
Humans individually or unprepared aren't all too dangerous compared to everything else out there, but humans are rarely both alone and unprepared. A prepared human is scary, a prepared group of humans is terrifying. But what really put us on the top of the food chain was our ability to tame the dangerous wilds. We tamed the wolves and made them our hounds. We tamed the land and made it grow safe food in plenty. We tamed water and made it turn our grinders. We tamed the air and now soar through it faster than any bird. We tamed lightning and rocks and use them to manage logistics on an impossible level or play games that are simulations of war. We tamed the minerals for better tools too. Yes, our world is dangerous, but we have now caused a lot of it to heel at our command and work wonders beyond what we could alone.
You have to remember all the small organisms. When accounting for that, humans have abilities and senses better than 99.9 percent of all animals. Better speed than most, better eyes than most, better strength than most, and much better endurance than almost all. Now, remember all that. How top of the circle we are. Factor in the brain. The human brain is almost an impossible cheat stat. It's so far and away the best brain in the whole ecosystem that absolutely nothing comes remotely close. Not even in the same galaxy close.
Humans are A-class or above for every category. The brain is god class.
Remember, you have to count all life. Not just highly specialized outliers. We are a jack of all trades that is an expert at all. Sometimes not the best eyesight, or hearing, or whatever. But man, our arsenal is completely stacked. Then there is the tactical Nuke that is the brain and the graph doesn't just change, it's obliterated.
Ok that was amazing. Also wonder what they would say if you started going into the climate and how the weather changes. Not even things like earthquakes are volcanoes

arguably the most terrifying part about our fauna, there's eye parasites and flies that lay eggs in you while you're alive and they hatch from your skin. Nasty stuff
There's so much variety of parasitic organisms. Oh the horror, the horror!
And then the viruses that have a higher death count than everything else combined
"How have humans survived!"
Let me introduce you to my friends, Smith and Wesson
lets be honest if aliens are that soft it will not be long before humans rule over them.
God help them if they're made of meat and taste like chicken...
Julie: But it’s not just the predators are dangerous. This is an elephant, the largest land animal on Earth.
Class: Wait . . . what do you mean largest *land* animal?
Julie: Oh, that’s right, I forgot about the whales. I haven’t even gotten to the dinosaurs yet!
Class: *THE WHAT*
We survived by being WAY too good at two things: Throwing stuff and being able to pack bond with almost anything... Even inanimate objects.
Those skills allowed us to ward off predators and gather enough game and wild plants and berries to hunker down for the winter. Being able to settle allowed for agriculture for making beer and bread... It kinda snowballed from there.
[Alien freaks out about snow]
[Me, a Floridian, feeling personally attacked] :P
Anyway, this is so nice. Children aren't stuck in their ways like adults are, and so they'd be more able to adapt once they got over the shock of it all.
Should have showed a video of an orca yeeting a seal. Sharks are scary, but orcas are terrifying. Lucky us they probably find us to be more trouble than we’re worth.
Many animals seem to have an instinctual knowledge that if you hurt a human, more are coming and survival is questionable at best. Coyotes are a good example of this. There are stories of packs of coyotes avoiding lone children who would be easy prey because they know what happens when you fall for that trap.
African lions fear domestic dogs because they know what comes next.
Poor Doojat
Edit: never mind, turns out he's insane
He's in Highschool/College, let's not be redundant.😆
@@TheLastGarou I imagined them as like 5th graders
Maybe not. I work with children and they absolutely love videos about predators, books about predators, games involving (imaginary/pretend) predators, seeing predators at a zoo/aquarium/nature center. There’s something very appealing about being scared and safe at the same. They also like to imagine (and sometimes act out) fighting and either killing or taming a dangerous predator-especially the younger kids. Then again, it’s probably instinctive in some way for humans-I’m not sure if it would be the same for a species that evolved on a planet without dangerous predators.

@@thalaseamyst3934 it's mud and feather
There's slightly more "Terran helps an alien survive after they both crash on a different planet together" stories, usually with the added note that their shipwreck planet is actually less dangerous than primeval Earth
I remember a story with a similar theme: where they were investigating an 'ice' planet, called something like 'Winter's Heart' or something...and then the landing vessels heat fails, and the alien is completely freaking out and thinks death is imminent. Human looks outside and realizes it's like -5 out, and the planet is comically hospitable to (human) life in comparison with the name. The reason though was the aliens who found it were cold-blooded, which is also how the alien ends up living, the human stuffs him into his shirt and uses his body heat to keep him alive for the hours/days it takes a rescue vessel to arrive.
Sheesh!

Teacher: Your assignment is to present the dangers of your homeworld.
Human student: Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
"How did you even survive?"
"We had two powerful friends, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson"
I've listened to about 20 or so of these videos since accidentally coming across them last week. Some short soem really long and a few that left me hanging waiting on the next instalment. Love the narrators voice and the shared universe , lol.
"Here's a seal, it hunts fish
Here's a shark, it hunts seals
Here's an Orca, we're about the only thing it doesn't hunt..."
Task failed successfully.
Just wait till they learn about hippos 0.o
Even as a Human Hippos scare me, nothing that big should move that fast
@@UNSCPILOT What's even scarier is the fact that their bulk is almost entirely muscle. Don't call them fatties, just because they're big and round!
Fun fact about hippos, they actually can't swim. Rather they evolved to have such a high body density that they just sink and proceed to just run along the bottom like they would run on land.
For perspective, even elephants, though much heavier, still have a low enough body density to swim in some capacity.
This is my most favorite of your reading yet, with how you varied the voice of each character, pls do more of this style
this actually makes sense for a change, usually its "ooh those essential things for livr are for some reason toxic" but here everyone just comes from planets with more homogeneous climate and less dangerous wild life... both most likely as a result of there civilisation, weather control and predators going extinct while civilisations forget about those things
This is cute and all but personally I subscribe to the notions the human bullied everyone into liking them.
well, they were all terrified she'd bring a pet cat, bird, or worse a dog in
imagine what a a playful husky or malamute could do to people scared of a cat
lumbering fluffball of joy sees all the aliens and thinks "new friends" before bolting at them at about 25mph

Probably crush them to death accidentally in its excitement then animal control tries to put it down with a hose pipe and watches on in shock as it turns around and tries eating the water from straight out of the nozzle.
Honestly I don't blame him for stopping after seeing a Piranha swarm XD
Its crazy to think how many things can kill us. Heck even our pets can kill us if they get us in the right spot. Even plants can do us in if we aren't treated properly.
A Planet Earth documentary would seem like a horror movie to these guys lol
I’m mad late to the party but this was the most wholesome story ever. Sooo cute, the little girl made friends because our planet keeps trying to kill us and couldn’t
if snow is scary
they would have been terrified learning about hail
This story is sweet as fuck.
Enjoyed the story, but vampire bats don't "rip open your flesh"
They make a small puncture wound, their saliva acting as a numbing agent so you don't feel it as well as an anticoagulant. And then they lick up the blood that dribbles out.
If I remember correctly about two teaspoons is enough to feed one vampire bat a day.
It's a good thing she didn't talk about bacteria and viruses.
Yep. We fckd up polio and smallpox
Imagine if she had talked about our weather.
Tornadoes, hurricanes, and microbursts
Volcanoes, earthquake, and tsunamis
Hail, lightning, freezing rain, and wildfires
...and that's just the stuff common to areas we frequently CHOOSE to live in.
If snow freaked them out imagine trying to explain "diamond dust" to them.
Or just put on a documentary film about one of our many mass extinctions.
What is Diamond Dust? I never heard of that phrase before
@@LTDroz it's a thing that happens when it is cold enough that any moisture in the air goes straight from a gas to a solid, resulting in ultra-fine ice crystals that just hang suspended in the air like fog instead of falling like snow.
Supposedly, this results in a beautiful glittering effect as it catches the light that gives it its name.
Unfortunately this only happens when it is absurdly cold...like "interior of Antarctica" cold.
@@dynamicworlds1 got it, thank you for the explanation. Better to know something new
@@dynamicworlds1 when I first heard the term, I thought the crystals were too cold that they'd remain solid when inhaled and destroy the lungs.
A well written and heart warming story. Awsome narration as always.
How did humans survive? We like to throw things. We also learned how to sharpen sticks.
I’d just explain mosquitoes and how many humans they’ve killed over the years. I’d then pretend that we uplifted them to sentience once and put them on a planet, but we can’t remember which one.
I’d then sit back and watch as mosquitoes become the nightmare fuel of the galaxy.
"How did You survive?"
Easy, we just hunted the really dangerous animals to extinction. *puts on shades*
Eh I would have started with showing the adorable animals and show domestic animals and worked my way to there ancestors then continue with all the animals that don't look deadly
Show them wolves, then how we tamed and changed them into dogs, that might make them dizzy with fear and confusion
* big bad alien aliens attack the planet with the school *
Classmates: "Julie, do something. Go and... idk, eat them or something"
Julie: *lets cat out of her bag* "They don't make metaphors this dangerous anymore"
I enjoy all of Agro Squirrel Narratives videos
*Kitty playing with a "cloth on string" toy* = Most dangerous vicious predator.
Human: "Should I tell them about lions, tigers, leopards and the like?"
It depends what you are used to. I am glad there are no poisonous snakes, spiders… in my area. But I know it’s not that big of a deal if you know how to keep them out of living area.
I worked in areas with rattlesnakes. Which are not that dangerous. Just don’t corner them. Keep them out.
Aliens explaining the dangers of there worlds
Juile going "are you ready!?" As she begins to explain the dangers of earth
couldn’t help but smile at the end
I have 2 cats and 3 parakeets.... Im surrounded by monsters!!!!
Humanity has forgotten its greatest horrors. The hippo can bite and kill anything up to modern cars and are both extremely aggressive and territorial. They could kill every thing made by human hands for almost all of history, including quadremes, which are among most heavily manned ships in human history to this day. We all but exterminated them in the Nile in a comprehensive, organized effort that took almost a thousand years to finish.
They are now an invasive species in Columbia.
A wonderful story! And perfect narration! Hope you're feeling better!
Julie sat back surrounded by all all those curious face and smiled almost mischivously "Let me tell you all about a island nation on my home planet in the southern hemisphere a place called Australia"
when the wildlife documentary becomes a psychological horror film
Watch as a human child gives other child ptsd
... And then there is Australia!
They haven't even gotten to the big cats, are we sure we want to jump that far ahead? XD
@@UNSCPILOT I’m Australian, I just wanted to skip ahead to the good bits.
@@MarkJohnson-ro1ed fair enough, as a Canadian I will admit even I'm scared of Australia
@@MarkJohnson-ro1ed Don't you mean good bites? :)
If you add one point to your Deathworld score for each thing that can kill you within your environment, Earth must be around +2000. I tried to make a list like that and was in the 20+ range before I even got to the surface of the planet. Yes, our air is also dangerous.
This brought real chuckles out, love the story and the narration.
Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil, because I am the meanest S.O.B. in the Valley... 😁
That was my college dorm wall poster 5 decades ago.
Ah, children. Bonding over all the dangerous and deadly critters we like to keep as pets or poke with sticks.
humans basically being the tattooed war veteran/former prison inmate species is kinda funny.
She didn't even get to the part about sperm whales that repeatedly dive into depths even only the best of our military submarines can reach. And once these apex predators the size of a school bus are down there they hunt other similarly massive apex predators because they're the most efficient food sources for each other.
If I was part of the presentation I'd have taked on a short video of me playing with my budgie at the start of the presentation just to add to the freakout.
