Humans are differwnt to most predators. Most are ambush predators, they attack from hiding to deal significant damage. Us humans are endurance hunters. We wear down our opponents.
Yes and no. We've also been ambush predators. We just didn't used to be able to reliably 1shot prey and we could outrun a slightly wounded prey animal over a distance.
@@lulzywizard7576 Trained humans can still outrun any prey if and when necessary. Humans aren't the fastest species on land, but (trained) humans have the greatest endurance. Humans can run horses and wolves into the ground. Every time that horse or wolf is tired and starts to lie down, that same damned human is approaching again.
@@apveening @lulzywizard7576 Wolves are an especially bad example since they're also endurance hunters. Not much will get away from a pack of wolves. That said, if we survive the initial attack, we are capable of outlasting them, assuming that we're in good enough condition
@@lulzywizard7576 Horses are good for slightly less than 180 km per day, trained humans can do over 200. Wolves can do about the same distance per day as humans but can't keep it up for multiple days.
We have all these horror movies of terrifying aliens killing humans like we’re nothing more than bugs. It would be funny to find out we’re the ones that terrify the aliens.
Finally. A story that kind of grasps the concepts of humsnity and presents it in a way that offers something other than war. I liked this story. If war is necessary than fight but to teach something without brute force should be the goal.
Pretty good as it is not just this human is the ultimate weapon but a survivor species. Has a lot of Star Trek humans vs Klingon vibes. Klingons with their weapons and power through honor and strength. Humans as allies um hey would you like to work on making those faster and stronger. Also try not to get hit by everything fired at you.
Ya I like them more..cause some the descriptions of the races in other story's show clearly show certain beings far physically superior like one was a rock people like 8 feet tall and have been fighting wars longer than us yet the story was written just having us handle them like we was punting kids .I'm like no bro gotta be a real slog fighting something like that.we ain't just pimp slapping them and walking away all easy.

I've been trying to cook up a portal fantasy using spelunking, and it's actually low-key hard. I keep falling into the trap of wanting to replicate a relatively accurate cave biome, so I get stuck on Wikipedia reading about cave lice n shit lol
@@MechbossBoogie Yeah I've been following a few myself. Definitely helpful. I'm thinking of trying a story where a serial killer tosses his victims into a flooded subterranean cave system. Every once in a while, he finds an unearthly item left in the cave after an offering, so he keeps at it for selling off the loot. Eventually, the brother of one victim confronts the serial killer while hiring him as a cave guide. They throw hands, both fall into the submerged cave system, and end up in an expansive subterranean ecosystem. I figure there'll be some good drama with some surviving victims, wild cave monsters, and reclusive intelligent life hanging around.
These stories are fun to think about, but overall if a species is advanced enough to be in the same room as other species from different worlds, that are tens of thousands of light years away then chances are that they have seen and studied many planets and creatures similar to ours. Right now we are probably getting studied like how we study new creatures, just mostly through scans, visuals, audio, and they probably collect data like atmospheric pressure, compression, wind speeds, weather patterns, jet streams, rotation speed, orbital path, scans to show what the composition of our core is, and every once in a while take a sample/subject for some medical tests to find out the history of said subjects DNA and to find out behavioral patterns and how they live. Sorry for taking this really seriously, but if you disagree with what i said, please, just be respectful about it.
Pressed like but it didn't register. Human wisdom. Martial art makes the opponent self defeated. Resilience is better than rigidity. The willow bends to survive the storm wind that breaks the oak.
The big problem with these "aint we humans so totally effin awesome" stories is that the aliens are humanoid and obviously much tougher-looking. If the aliens are so much less than humans, at least make it visually believable that they are.
Generally, a deathworld is one that the galactic community believes to be one that is impossible to survive on, let alone thrive. The idea is that aliens are most likely to have evolved on planets with less natural threats than Earth, so they wouldn't have evolved any natural responses to those kind of threats.
I'd encourage you to look up some of the older HFY genre videos for more context, though in the Case of death worlds it's not entirely consistent. The idea is that certain worlds hold characteristics that challenge life, such as "intense gravity" or the storms and oceans such as in this video, these worlds cause evolutionary pathing to be competitive, with ongoing Biological arms races constant. The other class of world is a Garden planet, one where conditions are stable and supportive of life, where life evolved without competitive conditions, so the resultant Fauna and Flora are much less hardy and prone to damage, as their genetics/ evolution have zero to limited reason to defend against planetary conditions or other lifeforms. Other way to put it is Deathworld=Strong immune system. Garden World=no need for an immune system.
Bruh, you want me to believe that a space-faring people, no matter how "warlike", don't understand that a lot of people working together is a good thing? They've accomplished interstellar travel and they don't seem to be immortal so they have to have some sort of school program to build up the knowledge needed for that over time, and they brought enough of themselves together to actually build the things. They shouldn't be getting all flabbergasted at the idea of collective strength. A couple years ago HFY was actually dope, and humans were triumphing against real threats, not lobotomites. All of these AI channels have diluted the genre into actual brainrot mush.
@@tiffanyrivette7677 The whole premise was their council was being visited by a human. Their COUNCIL, a group institution, presumably to decide policy for the people under them. Why would they invent the concept of councils for themselves if they didn't understand the importance of collective strength and differing viewpoints? And even if they did steal the space tech, they would still need to work together to use it, let alone establish the infrastructure to support a space age society. They have people mining raw resources, so that some other people can refine those resources, so that some other OTHER people can conquer the stars, and by doing that all of them can flourish. There's no way they don't understand basic cooperation, the whole premise falls apart with even a modicum of thought.
I don't think the concept of working together was unfathomable to them. It was a somewhat redundant response to asking the human why they weren't conquerors. The "death planet" meeting is a show of diplomacy and allegiance for sure but just because they meet doesn't mean they get along. We have things like the UN here with nations that actively want to or are presently trying to kill each other so in a similar fashion we don't really know the purpose of this meeting, and outside of this meeting many of these species may be actively at war. So the concept of a species that believes themselves superior to others not being conquerors could be a foreign concept at least the species that believes themselves to be the strongest. In star trek klingons while not dumbfounded by the concept of allies were a war mongering species for a number of reasons, clinged to honor, and thought humans puny and frail in much the same way, but eventually came to hate fighting them and their alliance of species.
Personal opinion here, obviously, so don't grill me 🙏 I think there's a whole lotta telling and not showing. I like to write a bit myself, and I've realized AI can "tell" a story as good as the next guy if not a bit better structured. Our advantage as meat-bag authors is that we can do better than a 2-dimensional conversation and exposition dump. The exchange of exposition between aliens regarding humans, only to be surprised with surprised alien-pikachu face over and over just doesn't do it for me. Create the circumstances to show the changes of perception towards humans in a more organic, believable way. Sorry for preaching, it's something I'm practicing myself with mixed success😅
dont worry its fine, after going throught the entire video also felt a bit.. stiff, like, for every action, we see the direct reaction, but it never allows it self to have unspoken values or meanings, like, at the start, whit the aliens going craazy at how a random dude is surviving in such a harsh climate whit no evolutionary advantages, the message would been better translated if they didnt go off criticiting so much, instead of simply pointing out what their find unnusual and tipping at how they think, leaving us whit some time to think about the kind of culture they have and how diferent their situation is from ours, instead we get continuos rambling whit out any value post face value.
I agree. Just keep in mind this AI program wasn't even capable of doing something as complex as this a handful of years before. Give it two years and see how it'll improve
This human ambassador is like a prime Anderson Silva, what the Carthox don't realize is half of us are obese and can't walk a flight of stair without gasping for air 😆

Earth being a death world is kinda true and kinda fascinating because of it. Like... merely giving birth was a risk in itself.

If war is necessary than fight but to teach something without brute force should be the goal.
Now explain this principle to the Tyranids after defeating one of them in a fist fight.
I rationalize this hypothetical situation in the same manner that I rationalize my decision to engage in combat with a hungry polar bear. I’d win.
