It's kinda scary though. Especially the ones who were very much aware of what happened to them. Being made flesh floors and flesh walls made to witness what your species have become is one of the most terrifying things I imagine you could be put through
Tbh probably Gravital. I have a tendency to get drawn into grand narratives & I'm a bit too enthusiastic about the prospect of transhumanism (although I am skeptical as to whether many of the innovations posited by transhumanists are possible).

Seems like a parody of how human paleontologists got some fossils wrong. In another book the author parodied the "skinny dinosaur" trope by applying it to present-day mammals, after all
Her friend: "I bet he just wants sex." Me: "I'm really impressed with those post-humans being able to welcome in the Saurosapients, despite the lack of familiarity."
I mean at that point the similarity between the post-humans is like the similarity between all mammals. Common ancestors become sorta arbitrary after tens of millions of years and a freak bout of extreme genetic engineering
I’m not sure I would say the ending is sad. Sure, it’s melancholy, but all lives must end at some point, and the story of humanity in all tomorrows is the story of life as well. Through all their suffering in twisted humans maintained their drive to expand, connect, and understand. The life of every human told as one. And the fact that another alien race saw the value in that long after humanity was gone from relevance is the lesson. We may amount to dust in an unforeseen amount of time, but our story is still etched into the worlds we lived in.
Actually should humanity ever achieve space flight capable of reaching and terraforming other worlds and star systems then it’s incredibly likely that you wouldn’t see an extinction event for man until the heat death of the universe. For every planetwide massacre, every collapsing star, and so on youd have plenty of humans elsewhere that would be thriving. Think the Imperium of Man from Warhammer. It’s a bit like trying to exterminate every fly with a fly swatted or a flame thrower. Sure you’ll kill many. But you’ll never, ever kill them all.
My favourite part is how the Qu engineered these posthuman monstrosities to be either nonsapient, or sapient and suffering eternally, and in a few million years so many of them were like "WELL GUESS WHO'S BACK MOTHERFUCKERS".
yeah thats the problem the Qu never expected they never though another species COULD be as great as them and master intergalactic travel but when some did what do you know all the neighbouring galaxies had a common enemy they all hated more then any other what better way to create a galactic federation
@@ThatCreeNative1 The Reapers are actually pretty fair. Let life take its course, reset it, and watch it go again anew. Because eventually, one single species would come out on top and enslave/destroy the rest of the known universe. The Reapers are benign gods in the grand scheme of things; something none of the ME species could understand (obviously, no one would just sit and let aliens exterminate them). At least the Reapers never had any hatred or need to be superior; they WERE superior and never wanted anything during the quiet eons, dudes just hibernated until it was time.
Doofenshmirtz: “If I had a nickel for every time the descendants of mankind were used for genetic experimentation and as bioengineered slaves by a powerful, speciest race, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?”
I don’t really understand how people view this as a scary story, i think it’s quite beautiful seeing the indomitable spirt of life, that no matter what it adapts and survives,there is no such thing as the end as something somehow will always exist
@Hideyourmozzarella Yes that is the only part that is scary, and it is terrifying. In fact, using words like scary is so redundant; it has an intellectual requirement, but at its core it is a primal fear. A creature alien to you, whimsically altering your very genes, altering your nature simply because it can, and believing the fact that it can to be sufficient evidence that it has the right to do so. That part of the video disgusted me, literally gave me a slight desire to throw up.
@@yuzurubrijer4556 well the asteromorph are never changed by the qu so they have more time developing their technology whereas the ruin hunter has to evolve first before being able to become the gravital.
This is probably one of the most distressing “dystopian future” works of fiction I’ve ever heard of. It isn’t as simple as “humans nuked each other and they all died the end” it’s way more complex. Humans would survive….maybe too long. Survive to be enslaved, morphed, and tragically would become unrecognizable, physically and mentally.
Isn't it strange that utopian reality is only experienced by a communistic order of modular creatures.... mindless and careless beings. We are doomed.....
i mean when you think about the fact that humans have only been around for like .0001% of the universes existence. it’s crazy to imagine what the 99.9999% had going on
@@jdtv50 I know, it seems farfetched.. but what if I told you about.. People people... Even I myself find it a bit hard to believe, but I swear it's true. People people are people but people.
*shits* translation: Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe and about 27% of its total mass-energy density or about 2.241×10−27 kg/m3. Its presence is implied in a variety of astrophysical observations, including gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless more matter is present than can be seen. For this reason, most experts think that dark matter is abundant in the universe and that it has had a strong influence on its structure and evolution. Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect.
Every other species: “Even with our deformities and handicaps we’ll evolve back to greatness!” Ruin Haunters: “FROM THE MOMENT I WAS BORN I UNDERSTOOD THE WEAKNESS OF MY FLESH.”
@@shgjjj2879 They clearly had both opposable thumbs and the brains to used them, so they Qu gave them enough of a chance.

@@The.Nasty. @miles is fine. They aren't hurting anybody. This is a comment section where people are free to say whatever and interact however they wish.

"Qu, what're you doing?" "Making Mantelopes." "It's 4 o'clock in the morning, why on *Qu homeworld* are you making Mantelopes?" "Because I've lost control of my life."
*Qu, when he had the idea of mantelopes one hour earlier fuelled by existencial crisis, sleep deprivation and a burst of inspiration* : Haha mantelopes go brrrrr
The next day: "Dude, look at this, i make this funky looking four legged creature" "Damn dude, what it can do?" "They're really good at depresion... oh yeah and they can sing too i guess"
really? that’s the message you got? i thought it was persistence of humanity. i mean even in the beginning of the story, humanity were pretty far in the future space faring living life just fine.
The first time I saw the video I thought it was the channel's decision to not describe the battle between the United Galaxies and the Qu, so I went on and read the book to see if there were more details, but the book describes it in the same way. I am still curious about this epic battle.
@@andrestangue my best guess is the qu lost due to shear numbers they had been a stagnant galactic nomad species for billions of years meaning there population was also probablt stagnant so all the galaxies they tormented when given acces to one another with galactic travel would have enough numbers to surrond the qu in every dierection and they could no longer run as there enemies had intergaltic travel just as fast as theres
It's only normal bc it's our normal, also we don't experience most of the f**ked up stuff that actually happens in nature. There's prolly an alien species out there that would look at our world and be completely terrified and think we're all monsters. All about perspective I guess.
"Hey." "Hey, What are you?" "We're interstellar alien gods descended from humans, what are you?" "We're snakes with snakes in our mouths." "Cool fam, let's hang out."
@@ijustlikebees All Tomorrows is weardly both sad and beautiful. The biggest plot twist is that the ending is wholesome yet embraces the idea of nothing last forever and one day we'll be gone and forgotten... But our daily experiencies will live on with ourselfs.
@@ijustlikebees the fact that something like this is completely possible is a terrifying ideology. One day you’re having a picnic with your family the next day you’re a fleshy brick that eats the shit of your opressors.
This is more of a horror story than anything. The fact that god-like aliens can completely change the course of humanity, and turn us into these twisted mindless creatures, is horrifying to me.
I mean, the feasibility of something like that is very low. Kursgesagt has great vids on the emptyness of space, but the chances are never zero, I suppose. But its definitely fantastical dystopian horror sci-fi futurism shit. Really cool video
Who needs aliens when humans do exactly this to animals on earth, we probably seem godlike to them, they have absolutely no chance of fighting back as we twist them into livestock and animals that please us.
This reminds me of how we breed dogs and other living things to look a certain way but it messes with functions like their breathing, physical structure and ability to reproduce.
@@Zenin_Toji123 Given how many of these post-humans managed to develop civilization once more in spite of their new forms, Ghibli could probably create an amazing and heartwarming story about how being "human" doesn't necessarily require you to be human. I admittedly haven't seen it, but isn't _Ponyo_ partially about that as well?
The mantelopes are especially chilling to me, the idea that humanity could lose sentience one day simply because it is no longer necessary for our survival is interesting and also terrifying
I don’t believe this will happen to us. My usual temperament of the future is of humanity being a grand contender of the stars, fuelling envy from other alien life, and watching this kind of stuff always humbles me to realise that we could very very easily be reduced to ash by entities infinitely better than us. But I still refuse to believe it, my hopes for humanity are naively high, I will die countless years before we could rule the galaxy (if it is to occur) so I feel better living my years dreaming of our far descendants as gods rather than slaves 😛
"See, this is the island syndrome, a phenomenon where a species changes it behaviour or pysichal characteristics due to a lack of threats, dodo's lost their wings, and with nobody to bully them, human's create shit like this"
Imagine if the qu actually seen the human history and how human males simps and even hurt themselves for the female humans so they did this on purpose as a joke
Imagine just chilling on a planet living life and a god like being with such advanced technology that you can’t even begin to comprehend it turns you into a fucking fish
Wait those are not those guys , the finger fishers became the boats. The fish became tool breeders aka my house is alive my couch is alive everything is alive
This is one of those videos that will change your whole life. Like I was 16 when I saw this and for 3 whole years I've never been able to get this video out of my mind
Yeah, since they acquired the knowledge of humanity's fate, they must have thought it in their best interest to join. Also can you imagine a coevolution like that. Its kinda wholesome
Koseman: Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name for someone who made glasses or cups, from Hebrew kos 'drinking glass' or Yiddish kos 'goblet', 'cup' + man 'man'.
How dare you assume that they'd have thumbs!? That's quite spiecist of you, assuming that one needs thumbs to be classified as humans. I suggest to change your thumb-centric ways, otherwisely my fellow twitter users will cancel you out of existance.
Imagine how cool it would be if this ended with repopulating earth, the evolving back into modern humans and ending now in modern human history. If this cyclical trajectory of human history had repeated more than once ,the calcium boned creatures found before the qu took over would be explained. Humans expanded and took over the universe more than once.
That would be an amazing alternative. The evolved back into apes and then humans but all traces of this ancient history are lost to the current humans inhabiting earth. Mind blowing
Wow I hate to say it but that would be really trash. The last thing a truly original piece of explorative evolutionary fiction needs is to rely on a trope that's already been done.
This has got to be the weirdest, most out-there story I have ever heard of, the art itself is like what happens if Picasso, Salvador Dali, and Lovecraft get high on mushrooms together and decided to make a story from the insane visions they had over an entire month of vision quest. So thanks Alt Shaft X for showing me how weird Sciifi can be.
Man, that was a whole epic saga, a tale that seemed to be about speculative, existential body-horror on the surface, but is about the resilience of the human spirit at it's core, about how no matter what comes our way humanity will keep evolving and societies will always seek to improve. Great video.
And also 4:32 "They ruled over the human worlds for 40 million years... and then they fucked off to find their next victims." Simultaneously hilarious and chilling.
There's something weirdly uplifting about this story- I just think it's nice that the humans hit several different horrific rock bottoms and still manage to not only persevere, but in many instances, thrive and rediscover happiness.
@@thundersaur1237 Not exactly, he said that they may have ascended to a higher plane (though that may be a hopeful thought LEL) But as he added at the end of the video, it doesn't matter if they did or didn't go extinct, as everyone dies eventually, but that they were able to find their happiness and humanity during their lifetime in spite of the horrible things that happened (at least that is what I admire.)
This proves that if the human sentience remained even in the slightest, the indomitable human spirit always sparked life even in the most atrocious of the conditions
This is legitimately the coolest thing I have ever stumbled upon in my history on youtube. Having no prior knowledge to the work in question I found myself captivated by the terrifying possibilities and narrative that we could face as a species.

@@siregg8528 to give you the rundown of the story, basically all but five of humanity has been wiped out by a supercomputer ai (this predates skynet and other ai overlord shit) the ai extends their lifespans and spends 109 years torturing them, at the end of the story all but one of the humans survive as the only one left mercy killed the others but he couldnt kill himself in time before the ai returned, and when it found out abt what the last human did it was super pissed and turned him into a sentient soft jelly thing who's perception of time has been so fucked up that one word takes 10 months to be said or thought of and it lacks a mouth, the closing words of the story is the title.
The specis that eventually got the universe and it's lifeforms organized were the ones that were able to use their farts in a constructive manner. As I sit digesting my dinner watching my tablet I take comfort Knowing my genes of gastric discharge will steer the universe to it's natural state of balance.
@@Firestar19 Or maybe the contrary. Our species would go mad trying to find extraterrestrial life, our curiosity and ambition are unrivalled after all.
I like how the subspecies all represent the components of what makes up a human. For the hedonists, it’s desire for pleasure. For the bug facers, it’s a fear of the unknown. For the gravitals, it’s the sense of superiority above less Sophisticated beings etc. This was one of the most interesting 40 minutes of my life
They also represent what humanity can do to animals and to the world. How we can warp animals beyond recognition into something we use as a tool or as something to make our lives easier, how we can turn a cow into a chair or a tree into the very frame of our houses

For every planetwide massacre, every collapsing star, and so on youd have plenty of humans elsewhere that would be thriving. Think the Imperium of Man from Warhammer. It’s a bit like trying to exterminate every fly with a fly swatted or a flame thrower. Sure you’ll kill many. But you’ll never, ever kill them all.

translation: Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe and about 27% of its total mass-energy density or about 2.241×10−27 kg/m3. Its presence is implied in a variety of astrophysical observations, including gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless more matter is present than can be seen. For this reason, most experts think that dark matter is abundant in the universe and that it has had a strong influence on its structure and evolution. Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect.

The specis that eventually got the universe and it's lifeforms organized were the ones that were able to use their farts in a constructive manner. As I sit digesting my dinner watching my tablet I take comfort Knowing my genes of gastric discharge will steer the universe to it's natural state of balance.

Wtf, this is like explaining lovecraft ._. Still just as depressing.
"Are we really alone in the universe?" *You better fuckin' hope so.*
If we are, we are the luckiest son's of bitches in the goddamn universe.
@@Firestar19 Or maybe the contrary. Our species would go mad trying to find extraterrestrial life, our curiosity and ambition are unrivalled after all.

Agreed, let's keep our mouths shut and solar Nuke the shit out of anything that talks to us.
Hello fellow jojo fan
I like how the subspecies all represent the components of what makes up a human. For the hedonists, it’s desire for pleasure. For the bug facers, it’s a fear of the unknown. For the gravitals, it’s the sense of superiority above less Sophisticated beings etc. This was one of the most interesting 40 minutes of my life
Also for the temptors they males are simps serving their grotesque queen
Yes...yes, that sums it up...yes, that's about right
What about worms?
They also represent what humanity can do to animals and to the world. How we can warp animals beyond recognition into something we use as a tool or as something to make our lives easier, how we can turn a cow into a chair or a tree into the very frame of our houses
And the Asteromorphs escaped humanity into space and survived everything
This was equal parts horrifying and morbidly fascinating. Your narration was excellent and I quite enjoyed listening to this.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery,but today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
