Is the humans-are-weird thing still around? Cause I'm newish to Tumblr but want to tribute so:
Humans are all rounders. Like we are so used to all these different things we can do to at least a basic level because usually someone else is better at it. But you can still do it, and so can everyone else. Say you can't sprint race very well; your better at long distance jogging. But hey you can still run fast to some degree. So like:
[ship has been surprise attacked by enemies and two technicians are found by an enemy]
Alien: frick frick frick what do we do? (I only met these humans recently but I can tell the other one is the warrior of the two. Me and this human aren't fighters. We're thinkers instead. I can't fight)
Human: Chill out dude this guy clearly doesn't know what he's doing. *blocks punch then kicks the enemy in the back of the shin making him fall over*
Alien: ........ wtf. How did you do that?!
Human: His stance was awful. Seems like the impact of the fall knocked him out too. That's useful.
Alien: No I mean... I though you where the smart one? Since you work in here and the other human is a fighter?
Human: Well yeah I was a straight A student but me and Jake did judo club together for several years. And he's plenty smart too, just a bit of a jock.
Alien: (kinda intimidated by the revelation that humans can be good multiple, very different things) O-okay.
Human being shown around a base: what's that room then?
Alien: oh you probably don't care but that's the pool. For the more water based lifeforms around, ya know.
Human: omg no way we have a pool? I love swimming!
Alien: wait I though you live on land on your planet.
Alien: Then why do you need to know how to swim if you don't need to go in water that deep.
Human: Lots of reasons. Exercise, relaxing, mostly for fun though.
Alien who's whole race never figured out swimming and therefore hates deep water: Did you just say you swim for fun?????
