There is a story by a author called Snekguy, it’s called Brokering Trust it is about human meeting a squid/cephalopod girl where they try to find out if the thing the squid people created was a true AI.

@@Sujad Maybe they used the hydrothermal vents? They're a good source of thermal energy and some plants even use them for photosynthesis. Some have been known to shape and melt metal.

No but the vibrations might be felt. The movements of everyone else around it though would work. When they were recording early instruments (late 1800s), in order to be recorded they had to change the kind of wires used in pianos so the devices could pick them up.

No offense, but after that one guy stopped narrating it seems to have gone downhill. To be fair, I am a bit pickier due to listening to a lot of creepy pastas and such things.
Which part of a Human body do you think Aliens would find the most bizarre?
The tongue probably, it's just a slap of muscle that flails around in the mouth that can make noises sound different.
The appendix, tailbone and wisdom teeth. They're evolutionary leftovers that do nothing to help us and more often hinder us.
If stories of abductions are anything to go by, they seem really fascinated with the digestive process, particularly the latter stages
Skin and teeth,
Well skin because we have no insulation and it's pathetic for protection!
Teeth...Well what terrible design, started Well and then said get rid of the good stuff.

Don't judge a monkeys ability to swim or a fish ability to climb a tree.
Or to throw
Who knew that flirting cephalopods would be so adorable.
Indeed. I actually smiled at the end.

I might be falling in love with this narrator. Beautiful face, beautiful voice!!
Genuinely the first aliens ive seen besides nature of predators and some other niche stories that made sense biologically.
Until you think about learning to control simple forms of energy. IE, fire.
@@Sujad That's just it, you have to think they didnt start with fire because they are water based.
@@yourdemiseishere What did they substitute for fire then?
@@Sujad Assumedly crystals or thermals from thermal vents or so. There's plenty of heat and energy under water especially if it's alien, they dont need the exact path we do too because they got to space way faster so clearly it wasn't the same.

Excellent stuff! Very well done, I really enjoyed it.
Perhaps a harp might be easier for tentacled creatures to use.
I am curious how all these sea creatures managed to get ships full of water into space without much ability to create and use tools.
From what I gathered, they don't need to exist in water, or even air. They wouldn't need any sort of life support. They could just use some hunk of outer wilds garbage.
Uplift plus advanced technology. Underwater construction is possible once you have the tools and methodology worked out.
@@StrangeUncle01 Uplift would do it, but it ought to be possible to exploit less intelligent marine life to get the parts for basic machinery going.

Bravo to all!!!
She has got a lovely voice.
@@dtz1000......INDEED!!!
The Cravals Fucked Around, and Found Out!
They thought they were going to prey on helpless cephalopods. They also, just like the cephalopods, underestimate the humans.
They tried procreating, and learned something new.
Starbound has the best rating of ALL of these channels... best stories most of the time as well.. and NOT read by some text to speech software...
Looking forward to a part two for that alien class on humans and earth if at all its in the making and thanks for another great story!
Excellent. Encountering such an alien race and exploring their point of view is fascinating.
Finally Early. But id picture earth being a death world for our friends. Especially our shark filled oceans
Colossal squid eat sharks all the time .
You don't build a civilization without opposable thumbs...
Or at least some kind of manipulatory appendage. These guys apparently used tentacles well enough for that.
Or fire.

I hope this author writes more in this universe. I really liked this.

Done!
I'd love to see these specific aliens return. It was adorable how inquisitive they were!
Great story! Well written and well read.
About 4 months ago the pulsing imagery was discontinued, bringing it back is a bad idea.
As a diver I'd love to see more stories like this.
Love the new narrator
just wait until the bri'ish find out about habitable planets other than earth, gonna have a field day with that
So would the Spanish, the Mongols, the Romans, and the Americans.
This one was great. thank you.
well read and good story thank you very much
STALKS 😂😂😂
Part 2 please. That was a great story. I like this reader, she is very good.
This is actually really cute.
How did they develop interstellar travel without developing fire, and thereby metallurgy?
I find it funny the thumbnail is an alien... with thumbs!
haha true!
Alien: “Human, with all the creatures with deadly venom, razor sharp claws, and massive fangs, how did you all become the dominant species of this planet with no such advantages?”
Human: “That’s easy. We used pointy sticks… and patience.”
Alien: “You became the apex predator by poking your competitors with pointy sticks?”
Human: “The pointy stick technology got… really advanced…”
great story. i like it. something new.
Predator Defense Sacrifice, I finally get why his rank and title was translated that way 😂
Another great story, novel and engaging, in contrast to the many overused tropes and outright plagiarization on other sites.👍🏅🏅🏅🖖
Human fingers are the most dangerous thing in creation
How does one create metallurgy under water ?
Thermal vents maybe?
@@sunshinecarnivores1919They only get to about 300 degrees Celsius. So it's not hot enough.

Probably because it is synonymous with activate.
Oh shit they can open doors!
I haven't listened to video. Im going off the cover picture. But that ailen had a thumb.... why is that different?
Generic AI image that has almost nothing to do with the story.
Can a guitar sound underwater?
