@@bookworm3696 True, but Krill makes it sound like it was a while before the captain started reacting at all, and since his estimate of "a few days" was unqualified, I'd guess the captain slept at least a couple times before it started to get to him.
This is humanity's superpower and curse. Give a human a few hours with no entertainment and they go insane and start climbing walls. Give them a few days of no entertainment and they develop web shooting abilities to swing from building to building. I've researched it thoroughly.
True, but meditation is not sleeping. Also humans can be very quiet when we want to be, especially the insane ones! So ipso facso Oreo Columbo, one can not keep tabs on a human 24/7. And believe me, we have tried, ask any law enforcement personal or mental health care aides.
Less sleep, more like meditation. Prolly the closest earth comparison to how Krill and Humans rest would prolly be like comparing a Bear hibernating or a Humming Bird's torpor to a Human sleeping... well, in relation to how "deep" you go.
Humanity in a nutshell. I was bored so I mutilated myself and painted the room in my own blood. But now you’re awake, let’s go back to you teaching me your language as if everything is normal. Because it is.
I would like to point out that such a cell is considered torture by us humans and it’s pretty high on the scaling of how bad it is. Most people who had such an experience never recovered and became Insane.
Depends on how long it lasts. I was watching tv one night, and found this reality show that would put people alone in a room for 2 weeks. They did have pencils, markers and paper, though.
It's called "white room torture" and yes... it's horrible. everything is white, the room, the food, the tray, it comes on, the clothes, the sheets, even the lights. all of it is white. if you try to change anything the people who are keeping you there will simply make it white again. it's earned its classification as a torture, and yes. it's still in use. this video is scarily accurate to how some people react to this kind of situation.
The world's quietest room has been known to be able to cause hallucinations after 30 minutes alone in one, and the longest anyone has ever lasted inside was around 45 minutes. It's a room so quiet, you can hear your own blood circulating and your organs functioning.
While working on my Bachelors of Science in Psychology, i volunteered for a therapy service, working with patients. One of my patients, who has continued to call me, and keep in contact with me, because i have given permission in cases where he has...issues...is a Vietnam Veteran. They put him in a box, just big enough to turn around in, with a hole in the bottom for him to relive himself, buried the box with a pit under it for the leavings to drop into, leaving only a hole with a hollow tube, possibly bamboo, where they would pour a thin broth to keep him alive, and allow air into the box. He was in the box for 3 weeks. To this day, his fingernails dont grow back. Not because the nail beds were damaged. But because long after he worked the digits down to the nail bed, he kept digging the inside of the box. He lacks finger tips, having clawed at the sides of his prison until he wore the digits to the first joint. He also clawed out one of his own eyes, and managed to pull several of his own teeth with no tools. Guy has serious issues, but is better with medication. He just cant be left alone, ever, and who ever is with him, needs to monitor him while he sleeps because sometimes he wakes up in terror and tries to harm himself. Side Note: He was pulled from the box once, during those three weeks to see an American 'Emissary'. The 'Emissary' went back to the states and said our troops were treated well. That 'Emissary' was Jane Fonda.
Fun fact: given choice humans will choose pain over boredom. There was an experiment during which they a put subject in a cell with nothing to do. In the room there was only a chair and a table with a button attached to it. If the subject pressed the button they would be shocked by current. Sooner or later every participant pressed it even tho they all knew the consequences
Jeez, I wrack my brain trying to think of things alien species would find weird about humans, but this is flawless. We always take for granted how dangerous *true* boredom is to us, so I never thought about it like that.
He could have made a weapon out of his leg, and if he went out of his cell in a state of insanity like this... we humans can get very creative when it comes to inflicting pain. And especially creative when bored.
While micro-boredom is important to the creative process, true, long-term boredom can literally cause insanity. All studies on this eventually ended prematurely because of how much the subject was affected in just a fraction of the originally intended time.
and because humans have to be so contradictory, all stimulating tasks presented to them will be ignored for the equivalent of sitting in the box it came in. Except the touch screen doodle pad. Nobody can resist a doodle pad.

Yeah isolation without something to do is legit torture. In jail even in isolation they HAD to give me the option to leave the cell for an hour to shower, watch the TV, hit up the book cart, etc.
As somebody who experienced solitary confinement I can tell you it's the worst experience I can imagine and this is family friendly part of how bad it gets.
I have ADHD and honestly, a lot of places feel at least a little like that room to me. In a classroom, my mind would latch onto the whir of air through the vents and the blue of the sky through the window like a drowning man holding onto a rope. In the workplace, the sound of my coworkers keyboards clicking constantly draws my attention like a loaf of bread for a starving man. Our brains need a certain level of stimulation of properly function, even thinking about such a room made me antsy. This might be my favorite humans are space orcs story now.
this.. is scarily accurate on how we go insane and just start walking around when bored... but if we have something interesting... we can focus on it insanely hard
I was gonna think of how rude someone would find the "humans despise manuals and following any formal instructions" bit but then remembered that I almost clicked off at the start of the video because it was framed as a manual
I can’t remember most of the specifics, but I remember hearing about an experiment about leaving people in bland and boring rooms for several hours. They were given a small table with a little device on it that would shock you if you touched it. Not seriously of course, but certainly unpleasant. Most people touched the device in the first few minutes then left it alone, but after a few hours of boredom nearly all the participants eventually went back to the device and started shocking themselves on purpose just to pass the time. Humans really are space orcs
Admit it. The second you realized this was talking about keeping Humans as pets, the hair on the back of your neck bristled and your gut said "You fokkin' WOT, M8?!" We're Space Orcs. We literally refuse to be tamed, and will look for ANY opportunity to slit our master's throats as they sleep. AVE HUMANITAS.
"I thought those people were my ennemies, but they offered me this cute human pet ! So nice of them !" "Yes, sure, great gift... now free him and ask for forgiveness"
I actually didn't think about it too much but I will say this young traveler. Beware the humans for they shall either cleave you in two, or get you too much food.
First thought for me was after “Everyone knows humans don’t bother reading instructional material” (every human author of said instructional material, as well as every human that _does_ read it): Look, you don’t speak for everyone, but when you’re right, you’re right.
I can’t wait for more, May I suggest an episode on human exercise? We tear out bodies apart to make them stronger, micro-fractures in our bones make them bigger and stronger, small scale damage of muscle tissue causes it to over-repair, making the muscle group large and more powerful. We push our bodies to the point where we approach death, not only to improve our physical fitness, but for FUN! (Best example I have is intense exercise until the point of vomiting). Also something on our food, seeing as how much energy we need apparently, we would consume an outrageous volume. And not only that, but we can eat ‘just about anything organic’ due to our symbiosis with trillions of bacteria. Piggybacking off that, you could do one where humans intentionally give themselves alien deseases under supervision so they can gain immunities, maybe even experimental trials where they add alien microorganisms (like bacteria) into our digestive system, so that we can expand what we can eat even more, and become easier to quarter as soldiers. (I imagine humans would make great mercenaries, as they are so alien to the aliens)
For this current series of stories, these have all been written by one author a while ago (and the author is still writing them). There are hundreds of them at this point, and while I can't remember if there is one, I'm pretty positive there will be one on human exercise. However, I can definitely take these ideas and adapt them into my own mini stories I'm writing for they are incredibly interesting.
@@diamondwillow1191 if you are writing your own mini stories to read on your channel, might I suggest the human propensity for intoxication and intentionally triggering the adrenal glands? Basically, we mildly poison ourselves and jump off of bridges for fun. Or maybe something about the human story telling tradition. How a good human storyteller will adapt their voice and mannerisms to certain characters, embellish achievements, draw the audience in. It would be interesting to see how a species that maybe doesn't have a verbal story telling tradition responds to that. Or visual storytelling
Can confirm, resting just before dying/passing out due to exhaustion is one of the best feelings in the world. Everything seems so calm and soothing, one could watch people fight to death and find peace at it.
Oh I'd certainly start painting the walls, I'm an artist, it would be one of the first things my mind goes to. Also exercise and, if i had a companion, talking as much as possible and potentially... well, let's just not say what might happen if i was stuck in such a cell with another person.
"we know that hymans have a odd hatred for following concrete instructions, and usually do not read users or construction guide" yup, this is the humanity i remember XD
The human brain is designed to function while the body is in motion, and the brain is used to fractals in our environment. We need a little chaos, a little inconsistency, or our wires start to get a little crossed.
I was thinking you could do one on hysterical strength. Hysterical strength is an amazing thing. When your brain truly believes it or someone else will die if you don't act, it can release the necessary chemicals and adrenaline to use the full strength of your muscles. There are lots of stories of people lifting cars off of themselves or others. What's more impressive, I think, is the story of a man who went hiking with a friend in an unstable area of cliffs and nearly paid the price. He placed a hand against the rock face to brace himself, but when he pulled it away the entire wall came away with his hand. He ended up on his back sliding towards a cliff below him, with a large flat boulder on his stomach weighing over a ton and a half. His brain activated every muscle in his arms and he threw the boulder off of himself before reaching the cliff. He had succeeded in lifting more than three times the world record in bench press, and in the process tore nearly every muscle in his arms.
Would really like a video going over phobias and fears like arachnophobia. Explaining to your alien crew mate why you have a primordial fear of this tiny, eight legged creature fills me with glee
I know this is a bit of an old comment and you probably don’t care anymore, but... This scenario, even with Krill, probably left the captain with claustrophobia or something. That feels more in-character to me, at least.
yeah, to be fair, even without adhd human already have focusing trouble and short attention span, now i wonder, what if ppl with adhd got trapped in that room
@@hasanmuttaqin464 it would be hell for us with adhd if we didn't have anything to distract ourselves we would go crazy way sooner or we would have first fights with our shadows
@@ale6530 ngl, i too, would get close to the wall and challabge it to a fight, when i get out, i'd have a fucking martial arts capable of Genocide a whole species
Man for some reason this reminded me of going bonkers back when I went to church as a kid. Three hours of me losing my mind once a week. Then 8 hours at school 5 days a week for years. This story is great.
one video idea might be hysterical strength or adrenaline, when a human gets shocked by electricity and flies across a room it is their own muscles supplying the strength combine adrenaline with hysterical strength and you can get a berserker rage in some humans.
Hey can we get one on how krill finds out about music, if the aliens don’t use music and if the aliens have music talk about how it is different from human music.
There's a reality show that locks people alone in a room for 2 weeks, with nothing but paper, pencils and markers. I don't know the name, it was in a foreign language (maybe Hungarian).
I literally locked myself in a small studio apartment alone for a month and it was great despite not having internet. I spent most of the time just staring blankly at the ceiling to let my thoughts sort themselves out.
There are two kinds of people going insane. The one who gets crazier and the one who gets calmer, although it sounds contradictory, the calmer one is way more dangerous than the crazy one.
Literally the only other channel I found that narrated "Humans are Space Orcs" was PM Seymour (maybe I wasn't looking hard enough) but I cannot express how HAPPY I am to have found your channel. Also on Tumblr, an account called I think "llamagoddessofficial" has done something called "human meets an actual space orc" (or something along those lines) and I think it would be so cool to hear you narrate it.
Several other YT channels narrate content they categorize as "HFY" (humans f*** yeah) that usually, but not always, overlaps with content in the style of Humans are Space Orcs. From what I have seen, HFY content is more prominent on reddit or some -chan, where Humans are Space Orcs seems to be more prominent on tumblr. Digital-Regional Variations, you might call them, on similar themes.
Same though. Like I love imagining I would be like an orc to a galaxy full of life. I frequently feel frail by comparison to others on this planet. But what I have survived shows otherwise.
The captain is me in a nutshell , but instead of getting agitated I do bloody violent art and stab things! (Old pillows , my old art , bad cringe oc's , NOT myself) Edit: spelling
Aliens: Just stick them in the white room until we figure it out. We're nice enough people, we're not going to make them suffer. Humans: Sensory deprivation is a literal torture technique.
Somehow the algorithm recommended this video to me, and after giving this and other videos a listen, I've decided to subscribe. I legit like your narration! I hope you'll find more fun stuff to narrate!
Ok. So what did you give the human to make him stop trying to kill its cellmate? I... I dont know What do you mean you dont know? I mean I dont know! I put him in there and... wait. Wears my notepad.
@@hugsandchaos9554 I'd say either something that's rather mental about us, or something dope haha. I'd say music would probably be at least a bit likely to be one of the next few though.
this is similar to a form of torture that has been developed in parts of the world called "white room torture". the subject is tossed in a room in which everything is white, their clothes, their beds, their bathrooms and even their food can consist of only white rice. these rooms are so effective there are many who have considered the rooms cruel and unusual punishment
I ran into this channel thanks to the midnight youtube algorithm, I went to asleep and found out the channel grew 1k ish subs. Your voice is something I like to listen too while contemplating how weird we humans are.
The entire time I was just like "dam, I would not last that long." Honestly I'm pretty sure I'd start drawing on my arms with my nails or start thinking up different fanfiction ideas until that got boring too 😭
Well as a species we need constant, emotional, mental, physical, stimulation to function, Hell we’re such a social species we can’t go long periods of time without being near a living thing there have been cases where people have lost their minds because they don’t have enough plants in their environments.
There was a study on boredom, during which people would voluntarily self-administer painful electric shocks to alleviate boredom, as well showed increased willingness to perform unethical actions such as animal abuse and cruelty toward other humans if it meant avoiding boredom. In other words, boredom is scientifically proven to be hell on earth and we can only handle it for short spans of time with varying tolerances depending on the individual.
Just finished watching all of your other videos, I'm in love with this series thing / 'documentation reading' of humans in a fantastical science fiction setting, very excited for more :)
Just wait till the aliens learn about ADHD. In nature as hunter gatherers, fucking amazing. Absolute chads. Doing tasks and keeping an eye out for danger all at once. In a room alone for more than 5 minutes, absolute trainwreck
As far as I can tell all of the species encountered our distinctly non-human or vaguely humanoid, it would be interesting for a chapter covering human sex drive when the crew encounters a species very human-like.
I've been left home alone for a couple of weeks at a time while my parents went on vacations, and of course, this was during the pandemic, so there wasn't a reason to leave the house much anyway. I'd find myself talking and singing to the air or whistling, sometimes at full volume, and notice that the words coming out of my mouth were sometimes nearly complete nonsense. I'd be in the basement and see what looked like a dark silhouette ducking around a corner in my peripheral vision, and every subtle shift in the house causing it to creak or crack would snap me to high alert. And that's with my dog in the house with me the whole time keeping me company. I wonder how I would react to complete isolation for two or more weeks, only leaving the house once or twice per-week.

They were given a small table with a little device on it that would shock you if you touched it. Not seriously of course, but certainly unpleasant. Most people touched the device in the first few minutes then left it alone, but after a few hours of boredom nearly all the participants eventually went back to the device and started shocking themselves on purpose just to pass the time.
Humans really are space orcs
Shocky shocky :D
Admit it. The second you realized this was talking about keeping Humans as pets, the hair on the back of your neck bristled and your gut said "You fokkin' WOT, M8?!"
We're Space Orcs. We literally refuse to be tamed, and will look for ANY opportunity to slit our master's throats as they sleep. AVE HUMANITAS.
"I thought those people were my ennemies, but they offered me this cute human pet ! So nice of them !"
"Yes, sure, great gift... now free him and ask for forgiveness"
I actually didn't think about it too much but I will say this young traveler. Beware the humans for they shall either cleave you in two, or get you too much food.
First thought for me was after “Everyone knows humans don’t bother reading instructional material”
(every human author of said instructional material, as well as every human that _does_ read it): Look, you don’t speak for everyone, but when you’re right, you’re right.
I can’t wait for more, May I suggest an episode on human exercise?
We tear out bodies apart to make them stronger, micro-fractures in our bones make them bigger and stronger, small scale damage of muscle tissue causes it to over-repair, making the muscle group large and more powerful. We push our bodies to the point where we approach death, not only to improve our physical fitness, but for FUN! (Best example I have is intense exercise until the point of vomiting).
Also something on our food, seeing as how much energy we need apparently, we would consume an outrageous volume. And not only that, but we can eat ‘just about anything organic’ due to our symbiosis with trillions of bacteria.
Piggybacking off that, you could do one where humans intentionally give themselves alien deseases under supervision so they can gain immunities, maybe even experimental trials where they add alien microorganisms (like bacteria) into our digestive system, so that we can expand what we can eat even more, and become easier to quarter as soldiers.
(I imagine humans would make great mercenaries, as they are so alien to the aliens)
For this current series of stories, these have all been written by one author a while ago (and the author is still writing them). There are hundreds of them at this point, and while I can't remember if there is one, I'm pretty positive there will be one on human exercise. However, I can definitely take these ideas and adapt them into my own mini stories I'm writing for they are incredibly interesting.
@@diamondwillow1191 if you are writing your own mini stories to read on your channel, might I suggest the human propensity for intoxication and intentionally triggering the adrenal glands?
Basically, we mildly poison ourselves and jump off of bridges for fun.
Or maybe something about the human story telling tradition. How a good human storyteller will adapt their voice and mannerisms to certain characters, embellish achievements, draw the audience in. It would be interesting to see how a species that maybe doesn't have a verbal story telling tradition responds to that. Or visual storytelling
Can confirm, resting just before dying/passing out due to exhaustion is one of the best feelings in the world. Everything seems so calm and soothing, one could watch people fight to death and find peace at it.
Not sure if I would paint the walls with my blood, but after awhile I would certainly start hurting myself just for stimulation.
Oh I'd certainly start painting the walls, I'm an artist, it would be one of the first things my mind goes to.
Also exercise and, if i had a companion, talking as much as possible and potentially... well, let's just not say what might happen if i was stuck in such a cell with another person.
Be creative. You have at least two colors to paint with!
@@jbblades2835 you don't even need to use feces, you can just dirty blood via mixing ground up hair in it and it'll be a far less abhorrent paint.
@@tylermech66
Haven't thought of that. Neat
@@tylermech66 so you mean 3 colours?
"we know that hymans have a odd hatred for following concrete instructions, and usually do not read users or construction guide" yup, this is the humanity i remember XD
The human brain is designed to function while the body is in motion, and the brain is used to fractals in our environment. We need a little chaos, a little inconsistency, or our wires start to get a little crossed.
I’d like to see the non-human species talk to a human psychologist or physician.
I was thinking you could do one on hysterical strength.
Hysterical strength is an amazing thing. When your brain truly believes it or someone else will die if you don't act, it can release the necessary chemicals and adrenaline to use the full strength of your muscles.
There are lots of stories of people lifting cars off of themselves or others. What's more impressive, I think, is the story of a man who went hiking with a friend in an unstable area of cliffs and nearly paid the price.
He placed a hand against the rock face to brace himself, but when he pulled it away the entire wall came away with his hand. He ended up on his back sliding towards a cliff below him, with a large flat boulder on his stomach weighing over a ton and a half. His brain activated every muscle in his arms and he threw the boulder off of himself before reaching the cliff. He had succeeded in lifting more than three times the world record in bench press, and in the process tore nearly every muscle in his arms.
I just feel so bad for Krill coming out of meditation to see a wall covered in blood
I never realized how dangerous a bored human could actually be until now
Would really like a video going over phobias and fears like arachnophobia. Explaining to your alien crew mate why you have a primordial fear of this tiny, eight legged creature fills me with glee
I know this is a bit of an old comment and you probably don’t care anymore, but... This scenario, even with Krill, probably left the captain with claustrophobia or something. That feels more in-character to me, at least.
I'd just keep running in circles eternally, might as well feel pain from exercising than to be in boring nothingness
You do not want an engineer to get bored
especially around anything important
Me with adhd: if krill was locked in there with me krill wouldn't last a whole day
Same here.
yeah, to be fair, even without adhd human already have focusing trouble and short attention span, now i wonder, what if ppl with adhd got trapped in that room
@@hasanmuttaqin464 it would be hell for us with adhd if we didn't have anything to distract ourselves we would go crazy way sooner or we would have first fights with our shadows
@@ale6530 ngl, i too, would get close to the wall and challabge it to a fight, when i get out, i'd have a fucking martial arts capable of Genocide a whole species
@@hasanmuttaqin464 yeah and peope with adhd all have on thing in common we know how to turn everything into a weapon
Man for some reason this reminded me of going bonkers back when I went to church as a kid. Three hours of me losing my mind once a week. Then 8 hours at school 5 days a week for years. This story is great.
LOVE THE VIDEO, I know how the human captain feels, when your stuck in the middle of nowhere, you can INDEED go insane from boredom lol.
one video idea might be hysterical strength or adrenaline, when a human gets shocked by electricity and flies across a room it is their own muscles supplying the strength combine adrenaline with hysterical strength and you can get a berserker rage in some humans.
Imagine him stomping his foot on the ground and singing "cruel Wars" by the dreadnoughts
Look it up, that songs awesome and it fits this guy perfectly
We humans need things to do. Having us locked inside a room with nothing only ends with us going mad.
Hey can we get one on how krill finds out about music, if the aliens don’t use music and if the aliens have music talk about how it is different from human music.
I do believe there is a future story centered around music :) by then another main character will be introduced
I guess it's gonna involve different wavelengths like seeing colors of those pink aliens that were invisible to the heat seeking devices and organs
@@diamondwillow1191 an idea, a human with synthesia bonding with a species that communicates through the same symptoms.
i can just imagine an alien prison with a bunch of child toys for the humans
According to V-sauce, three days of sensory deprivation is where brain damage can begin.
There's a reality show that locks people alone in a room for 2 weeks, with nothing but paper, pencils and markers.
I don't know the name, it was in a foreign language (maybe Hungarian).
I literally locked myself in a small studio apartment alone for a month and it was great despite not having internet. I spent most of the time just staring blankly at the ceiling to let my thoughts sort themselves out.
There are two kinds of people going insane. The one who gets crazier and the one who gets calmer, although it sounds contradictory, the calmer one is way more dangerous than the crazy one.
Literally the only other channel I found that narrated "Humans are Space Orcs" was PM Seymour (maybe I wasn't looking hard enough) but I cannot express how HAPPY I am to have found your channel. Also on Tumblr, an account called I think "llamagoddessofficial" has done something called "human meets an actual space orc" (or something along those lines) and I think it would be so cool to hear you narrate it.
Oo that sounds interesting, I'll look into it, thank you!
Several other YT channels narrate content they categorize as "HFY" (humans f*** yeah) that usually, but not always, overlaps with content in the style of Humans are Space Orcs. From what I have seen, HFY content is more prominent on reddit or some -chan, where Humans are Space Orcs seems to be more prominent on tumblr. Digital-Regional Variations, you might call them, on similar themes.
@@BardedWyrm is the content same? or is it "human number one!"?
@@basrengangetch.2042 It is ... variable. "90% of everything is crap" and all that.
But there're some gems out there, too.
At the risk of sounding crazed, this series is gold. I want... MOAR
Just binged the entire playlist. Its 5 am. And I need more XD
Same though. Like I love imagining I would be like an orc to a galaxy full of life. I frequently feel frail by comparison to others on this planet. But what I have survived shows otherwise.
I love how this entire storyline is just a way to show how terrifying humans really are.
Your voice is very nice and I hope to see you grow.
The captain was lucky to have someone to talk to most hours he wasn't asleep. He still kept it together beautifully though.
The captain is me in a nutshell , but instead of getting agitated I do bloody violent art and stab things! (Old pillows , my old art , bad cringe oc's , NOT myself)
Edit: spelling
Just wait until the hear the stort of the guy that cut his own arm off after getting stuck in the grand canyon
Aliens: Just stick them in the white room until we figure it out. We're nice enough people, we're not going to make them suffer.
Humans: Sensory deprivation is a literal torture technique.
I like how boredom is such a destructive feeling for us that they had to create a law to prevent us from getting bored in prison
At least he had someone to keep him from going fully crazy
Someone should send this to the orcs plotting Universal Basic Income.
Well alien prison/jail is insane room for human
Ah yes, another video. Excellent.
Totally divorced from reality in a way that makes sense and is fun it’s like 1000miles away and 2 inches away
Somehow the algorithm recommended this video to me, and after giving this and other videos a listen, I've decided to subscribe. I legit like your narration! I hope you'll find more fun stuff to narrate!
I cant tell you how much I adore these stories
I need more on the prison system. What tasks do they have that they feel would be good for humans. Pretty please 🙏
Ok. So what did you give the human to make him stop trying to kill its cellmate?
I... I dont know
What do you mean you dont know?
I mean I dont know! I put him in there and... wait. Wears my notepad.
This was great! I’m already excited to see the next one.
Anyone think the next one would be about humans singing for fun or maybe another “human manual”?
@@hugsandchaos9554 I'd say either something that's rather mental about us, or something dope haha. I'd say music would probably be at least a bit likely to be one of the next few though.
@@toxicflame2894 Or maybe us having multiple languages!
Humans are space orks, is one of the best series i've (probably) ever found on youtube
Beautiful just beautiful, make more please!
Poor Krill not being able to fathom the absolute torture the Captain is going through
I would like to point out these short stories are brilliant cognitive exercises and I am delighted to not be bored
Due to my slothful nature, I would just sleep the entire time.
That is actually a type of torture called sensory deprivation. Two weeks in a place like that can absolutely drive someone to insanity.
amazeing performince!
heck now im bored, i need more humans are weird. love your narration
this is similar to a form of torture that has been developed in parts of the world called "white room torture". the subject is tossed in a room in which everything is white, their clothes, their beds, their bathrooms and even their food can consist of only white rice. these rooms are so effective there are many who have considered the rooms cruel and unusual punishment
I ran into this channel thanks to the midnight youtube algorithm, I went to asleep and found out the channel grew 1k ish subs. Your voice is something I like to listen too while contemplating how weird we humans are.
The entire time I was just like "dam, I would not last that long."
Honestly I'm pretty sure I'd start drawing on my arms with my nails or start thinking up different fanfiction ideas until that got boring too 😭
Thank you for providing cognitive stimulation that forestalled my descent into toil-induced insanity.
Well as a species we need constant, emotional, mental, physical, stimulation to function, Hell we’re such a social species we can’t go long periods of time without being near a living thing there have been cases where people have lost their minds because they don’t have enough plants in their environments.
These videos sometimes even stagger myself.
But then again, it’s true.
There was a study on boredom, during which people would voluntarily self-administer painful electric shocks to alleviate boredom, as well showed increased willingness to perform unethical actions such as animal abuse and cruelty toward other humans if it meant avoiding boredom.
In other words, boredom is scientifically proven to be hell on earth and we can only handle it for short spans of time with varying tolerances depending on the individual.
Just finished watching all of your other videos, I'm in love with this series thing / 'documentation reading' of humans in a fantastical science fiction setting, very excited for more :)
I watched the entire series so far and i think ill stay a little longer sub earned
the algorithm randomly brought me here and then I binge listened to all of these in a row and cant wait for more!
Just wait till the aliens learn about ADHD. In nature as hunter gatherers, fucking amazing. Absolute chads. Doing tasks and keeping an eye out for danger all at once.
In a room alone for more than 5 minutes, absolute trainwreck
Absolutely fantastic, i can already feel the mania growing as i await your next video!
Captain must love Krill to activaly ignore the most simulant thing he would do in that situation
HUNT
A cell whitout any stimulus is actually considered torture.
i really like finding good hfy channels
As far as I can tell all of the species encountered our distinctly non-human or vaguely humanoid, it would be interesting for a chapter covering human sex drive when the crew encounters a species very human-like.
The biggest peeve is learning something you already know. just Ugh.
Weekly humans are space orcs? You just earned my subscription
I've been left home alone for a couple of weeks at a time while my parents went on vacations, and of course, this was during the pandemic, so there wasn't a reason to leave the house much anyway. I'd find myself talking and singing to the air or whistling, sometimes at full volume, and notice that the words coming out of my mouth were sometimes nearly complete nonsense. I'd be in the basement and see what looked like a dark silhouette ducking around a corner in my peripheral vision, and every subtle shift in the house causing it to creak or crack would snap me to high alert. And that's with my dog in the house with me the whole time keeping me company. I wonder how I would react to complete isolation for two or more weeks, only leaving the house once or twice per-week.
That had to be one of your more compelling stories. Thank you!
They accidentally subjected him to the White Room torture.
I was without internet for 4 days, I was almost going crazy, this would legitimately make me homicidal
