What is your opinion on lime scooters or similar
they need to burn
they need some improvements but are overall fine
i have no opinion
they are great
I am making a rant about them and i want opinions.
If you could tell me why i would love to know
Me encanta hacerme sufrir
Just because I like angst. English is not my first language, I'm not that good at it, but i'll try my best.
Are you still there?
The death of humans is cruel at times, because they slowly begin to lose the abilities that characterize them.
They slowly die in the dark.
...
Xeno was a hairy alien, his body was heavy and thick enough not to freeze to death on this planet where he and the human Javi were stranded.
They both walked in their suits, until the human couldn't walk anymore, he fell in the snow, with a heavy breath. Xeno tried some many things to help him, but in the end, he could only make it to a cave to hide from the wind.
The peripheral vessels of his body were contracting from the cold, Xeno tried to cling to him and warm him, but his body was not enough to save the human.
They had spent hours in that position, Javi had gone from a shaky state to being drugged with his own hormones and endorphins, his blood and heartbeat slowing as his body desperately tried to keep his vital organs working.
Soon his temperature would drop to over eighty degrees, his breathing short, but he still hugged his furry companion to find some warmth.
Maybe because he couldn't move his arms anymore.
"Xeno..." The human barely spoke to him now, the hairy alien couldn't bear to see him like this, he tried a thousand ways to contact the ship, but every attempt was unsuccessful, he didn't know what to do, he could only hug the human like he taught him and try to keep him alive until his companions find them. "Human Javi, you are one of those immortal humans! Don't die like this! Please, I don't want to be alone... I won't let you go!"
Xeno tried to get attached, but after a few minutes, the human only had his eyes open and was looking in a random direction. "Xeno... I can't... see you, are you still there?"
The human's eyes failed and he just stood in the dark.
"I'm here!" Xeno tried to talk to him, but the human's body had frozen. "I'm here..."
The little alien could only add a simple sentence to the rumors of the humans.
Humans really are space orcs, they have the most horrible way to die.
... They die in the dark.
"You can have X and still feel empathy!" True, but the people who DON'T experience empathy don't deserve to get thrown under the bus either
"Having X doesn't mean you can't be smart!" True, but the people you WOULDN'T consider smart don't deserve to get thrown under the bus either
"Having X doesn't mean you're violent!" True, but the people who have been violent don't deserve to get thrown under the bus either
"You can have X and still take care of yourself!" True, but the people who genuinely can't don't deserve to get thrown under the bus either
"You can have X and still act normal!" True, but can you guess what I have to add about the people who CAN'T act normal?
Because if your activism is all about trying to separate your personal self from ableist dehumanization instead of actually challenging said dehumanization, your activism really sucks!
Hello tumblr I heard you like changeling stories
Reblog to give a person with conflicting sexual and romantic labels their favourite meal.
Eat up, friends!
Could you reblog this if you enjoy seeing your writer friends ramble about their wips on your dash?
PLEASE GOD
the entire reason I am on writeblr. I may not follow everything my moots say, but I want to be surrounded by passionate people nonetheless.
I have 3 questions:
1. Who is manufacturing tents?
2. What are they on?
3. Can I have some?
Cause every tent is like:
"This fits 8.... small for their age 12 year olds with no luggage. Lets call them full grown men."
"This bag fits this tent. If you know our 7 secert rituals passed down by the ancients. Don't forget to say the hocus pucus words."
It was once explained to me that they can't just make the tents water proof because that would be heavy.
How in the actual fuck is having a separate fly lighter?!
It’s funny how science fiction universes so often treat humans as a boring, default everyman species or even the weakest and dumbest.
I want to see a sci fi universe where we’re actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.
How do we know our saliva and skin oils wouldn’t be ultra-corrosive to most other sapient races? What if we actually have the strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill the inhabitants of other worlds just by screaming at them? What if most sentient life in the universe turns out to be vegetable-like and lives in fear of us rare “animal” races who can move so quickly and chew shit up with our teeth?
Like that old story “they’re made of meat,” only we’re scarier.
HOLY SHIT THEY EAT CAPSAICIN FOR FUN
YOU GUYS I HEARD A HUMAN ONCE ATE AN AIRPLANE.
A HUMAN CAN KEEP FIGHTING FOR HOURS EVEN AFTER YOU SHOOT IT
humans are a proud warrior race with a pantheon of bloody gods: Ram-Bo, Schwarzenegger, etc.
REMOVING A LIMB WILL NOT FATALLY INCAPACITATE HUMANS: ALWAYS DESTROY THE HEAD.
WARNING: HUMANS CAN DETECT YOU EVEN AT NIGHT BY TRACKING VIBRATIONS THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE
WARNING: HUMANS CAN REPRODUCE AT A RATE OF 1 PER SPACEYEAR. DESTROY INFESTATIONS IMMEDIATELY
THE HUMAN MOUTH HAS OVER THIRTY OUTCROPS OF BONE AND POWERFUL JAW MUSCLES.
HUMAN BITES CAN BE FATALLY INFECTIOUS EVEN TO OTHER HUMANS
WARNING: HUMANS CAN AND WILL USE IMPROVISED WEAPONS. SEE CLASSIFIED DATA LABELED J. CHAN.
HUMANS CAN PROJECT BIOWEAPONS FROM ALMOST EVERY ORIFICE ON THEIR BODY. DO NOT INHALE
OH GOD THE HUMANS FIGURED OUT DOOR HANDLES OH GOD OH GOD
More seriously, humans do have a number of advantages even among Terrestrial life. Our endurance, shock resistance, and ability to recover from injury is absurdly high compared to almost any other animal. We often use the phrase “healthy as a horse” to connote heartiness - but compared to a human, a horse is as fragile as spun glass. There’s mounting evidence that our primitive ancestors would hunt large prey simply by following it at a walking pace, without sleep or rest, until it died of exhaustion; it’s called pursuit predation. Basically, we’re the Terminator.
(The only other animal that can sort of keep up with us? Dogs. That’s why we use them for hunting. And even then, it’s only “sort of”.)
Now extrapolate that to a galaxy in which most sapient life did not evolve from hyper-specialised pursuit predators:
Our strength and speed is nothing to write home about, but we don’t need to overpower or outrun you. We just need to outlast you - and by any other species’ standards, we just plain don’t get tired.
Where a simple broken leg will cause most species to go into shock and die, we can recover from virtually any injury that’s not immediately fatal. Even traumatic dismemberment isn’t necessarily a career-ending injury for a human.
We heal from injuries with extreme rapidity, recovering in weeks from wounds that would take others months or years to heal. The results aren’t pretty - humans have hyperactive scar tissue, among our other survival-oriented traits - but they’re highly functional.
Speaking of scarring, look at our medical science. We developed surgery centuries before developing even the most rudimentary anesthetics or life support. In extermis, humans have been known to perform surgery on themselves - and survive. Thanks to our extreme heartiness, we regard as routine medical procedures what most other species would regard as inventive forms of murder. We even perform radical surgery on ourselves for purely cosmetic reasons.
In essence, we’d be Space Orcs.
Our jaws have too many TEETH in them, so we developed a way to WELD METAL TO OUR TEETH and FORCE THE BONES IN OUR JAW to restructure over the course of years to fit them back into shape, and then we continue to wear metal in out mouths to keep them in place.
We formed cohabitative relationships with tiny mammals and insects we keep at bay from bothering us by death, often using little analouge traps.
And by god, we will eat anything.
We use borderline toxic peppers to season our food.
We expose ourselves to potentially lethal solar radiation in the pursuit of darkening our skin.
We risk hearing loss for the opportunity to see our favorite musicians live.
We have a game where two people get into an enclosed area and hit each other until time runs out/one of them pass out
We willingly jump out of planes with only a flimsy piece of cloth to prevent us from splattering against the ground.
Our response to natural disasters is to just rebuild our buildings in the exact same places.
We climb mountains and risk freezing to death for bragging rights
We invented dogs. We took our one time predators and completely domesticated them.
On a planet full of lions, tigers and bears, we managed to advance further and faster than any other species on the planet.
Klingons and Krogan and Orcs ain’t got shit on us
We drink ethanol (in concentrations high enough to be used as an effective as microbicide or a solvent!) for the express purpose of achieving blood toxicity and disrupting normal brain function… AS A RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY!
On the same subject, we also deliberately incinerate assorted substances and then inhale the particulate-heavy smoke and vapor resulting for the same effect. EVEN IN THE FACE OF SAID SUBSTANCES BEING CARCINOGENIC, BECAUSE WE JUST DON’T GIVE A FUCK.
Humans do not have biological castes. Kill their commander and another will take its place. Soldiers left alone on a planet will start farming and manufacturing to survive. Farmers and manufacturers will take up arms and kill you if pressed. Just because two humans look different doesn’t mean they cannot do each other’s jobs.
Breeding does not kill them. A single human can mate dozens or hundreds of times in a lifetime. They often do so as recreation. Xenobiology team six believes they do not have a mating season but this is too strange to be true.
Their appendages are not designed for hitting, so they developed special training to make them very good at hitting anyhow.
The proteins making up their bodies are toxic and cause prion disease. Do not touch anything humans have touched. Do not consume earth foods. Fire does not adequately remove this contamination.
Humans perceive sixteen times the colors we do. Do not hide in bushes or vines from humans. They can distinguish your pelt from the foliage with ease.
We tried venting waste gas into the tunnels to kill the humans when they attacked. Turns out they breathe it.
Everything on their planet came from a single biological strain. They developed comprehensive genetics BEFORE they developed space travel.
They lack radio receptors and cannot be brought into compliance with right-thought simply by broadcasting to them. Even after we learned how to translate it into sound-waves one of their hatchlings drove the Great Authority mad by responding to every demand with a single question: “Why?”
#an individual human being is actually a microbiome in its own right—you are dealing with a legion each time you approach them #they carry pathological agents inside their deep tissues and this is advantageous to their health #one of the most widespread and resilient viruses on their planet is treated as mildly hazardous—even though it causes #massive disruption to the body’s homeostasis #(their young offspring endure multiple rhinovirus infections EACH YEAR yet they seem unperturbed by this) #they have developed such long lifespans that now their primary threat is their own body’s degeneration #humanity has literally figured out how to survive so long that their body gives out under them #and they are not satisfied with that #stupid willful vengeful survivalists who treat mortality like a challenge
I am speechless
We are the real terror to the aliens. That’s why they don’t come around
