Humans Are Weird

So there has been a bit of “what if humans were the weird ones?” going around tumblr at the moment and Earth Day got me thinking. Earth is a wonky place, the axis tilts, the orbit wobbles, and the ground spews molten rock for goodness sakes. What if what makes humans weird is just our capacity to survive? What if all the other life bearing planets are these mild, Mediterranean climates with no seasons, no tectonic plates, and no intense weather? 

What if several species (including humans) land on a world and the humans are all “SCORE! Earth like world! Let’s get exploring before we get out competed!” And the planet starts offing the other aliens right and left, electric storms, hypothermia, tornadoes and the humans are just … there… counting seconds between flashes, having snowball fights, and just surviving. 

[arafaelkestra]

To paraphrase one of my favorite bits of a ‘humans are awesome’ fiction megapost: “you don’t know you’re from a Death World until you leave it.” For a ton of reasons, I really like the idea of Earth being Space Australia.

[radioactivepeasant]

Earth being Space Australia Words cannot express how much I love these posts

[crazy-pages]

Alien: “I’m sorry, what did you just say your comfortable temperature range is?”

Human: “Honestly we can tolerate anywhere from -40 to 50 Celcius, but we prefer the 0 to 30 range.”

Alien: “……. I’m sorry, did you just list temperatures below freezing?”

Human: “Yeah, but most of us prefer to throw on scarves or jackets at those temperatures it can be a bit nippy.” 

Other human: “Nah mate, I knew this guy in college who refused to wear anything past his knees and elbows until it was -20 at least.”

Human: “Heh. Yeah everybody knows someone like that.”

Alien: “……. And did you also say 50 Celcius? As in, half way to boiling?”

Human: “Eugh. Yes. It sucks, we sweat everywhere, and god help you if you touch a seatbelt buckle, but yes.” 

Alien: “……. We’ve got like 50 uninhabitable planets we think you might enjoy.” 

[val-ritz]

“You’re telling me that you have… settlements. On islands with active volcanism?” “Well, yeah. I’m not about to tell Iceland and Hawaii how to live their lives. Actually, it’s kind of a tourist attraction.” “What, the molten rock?” “Well, yeah! It’s not every day you see a mountain spew out liquid rocks! The best one is Yellowstone, though. All these hot springs and geysers from the supervolcano–” “You ACTIVELY SEEK OUT ACTIVE SUPERVOLCANOES?” “Shit, man, we swim in the groundwater near them.”

[wuestenratte]

Sounds like the “Damned” trilogy by Alan Dean Foster.

[networkentertainment-offici-blog]

“And you say the poles of your world would get as low as negative one hundred with wind chill?” 

“Yup, with blizzards you cant see through every other day just about.”

“Amazing! when did you manage to send drones that could survive such temperatures?”

“… well, actually…”

“… what?”

“…we kinda……. sent……….. people…..”

“…”

“…”

“…what?”

“we sent-”

“no yeah I heard you I just- what? You sent… HUMANS… to a place one hundred degrees below freezing?”

“y-yeah”

“and they didn’t… die?”

“Well the first few did”

“PEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE???!?!?!?”

[arcticfoxbear]

My new favorite Humans are Weird quote

“PEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE?”

aka The History of Russia

aka Arctic Exploration

aka The History of Alaska

[unicornempire]

Being from Alaska, this was sort of how I felt going to college in the lower 48′s and learned that no one else had been put through a literal survival camp as a regular part of their school curriculum, including but not limited to:

1. Learning to recognize all forms of animal tracks in the wild so you can avoid bears and moose and search out rabbits and other small animals to eat.

2. Extensive swimming and climbing on glacial pieces with competitions to see who could last the longest, followed by a group sit in the sauna so we wouldn’t get hypothermia (no, not kidding, I really did this many times as a kid!)

3. How to navigate using the stars to get back to civilization.

4. How to select the right type of moss from the trees to start a fire with damp wood (because, y’know, you’re in a field of snow. Nothing is dry.)

5. How to carve out a small igloo-like space to sleep in the snow to preserve body heat and reduce the windchill so you won’t freeze to death in the arctic.

[reformed-roark]

“I’m telling you, I don’t think we need to worry about territory conflicts with the humans. You know all those deathtrap hell-worlds in the Argoth Cluster?” “Those worthless rocks? Yeah.” “80% of them are considered ‘resort destinations’ by those freaky little primates.”

[down-sizing-deactivated20180211]

“I’m telling you, they terraform for fun!” “Don’t be ridiculous” “No, seriously. Some of their most celebrated cultural loci are built on swamps. They have an entire city that is literally in a body of water. Not, like, an artificial pontoon city, they literally sunk the foundations into water. For Grilp’s sake, they build elaborate structures out of frozen water AND THEN SLEEP IN THEM.” “Dear Thilak. Think we could get them to terraform our moons?” “Psh, they’d probably pay for the privilege.”

[galaxystew]

Eventually, it occurs to someone that humans are the perfect terraforming shock troops, as it were. They think it’s fun to be sent to horrible planets! They’re really good at surviving and then taming them! All you have to do is sit back and wait until the planet is habitable, and then move there yourself! It’s genius.

It only takes one try before the reality of the situation sets in: human definitions of ‘taming’ and ‘habitable’ are woefully incomplete.

“Why did you not eliminate the venomous plant life?” Grahssk’ti moans, clutching one limb.

“Those?” The human laughs. “Why bother? They’re not that bad. And they eat the mosquitoes.”

Grahssk’ti shudders. The ‘mosquitoes’ are… not to be mentioned. Just one swarm of them caused a landing shuttle to crash three planetary daylights ago.

“And the acid storms? Why did you not warn us of them?”

“I mean, they’re annoying,” the human says, shrugging, “but we figured the cool sunsets made up for it.”

Grahssk’ti flails helplessly. “What about the ten-meter tall Fanged Death Bringers? They can eliminate an entire settlement in under an hour!”

“They’re so cute!” the human says, brightening. “Have you met mine? Her name is Spot!”

[exvind]

Humans are told of some planet or region of space that is considered “completely and utterly inhospitable - it would be folly to try and settle there.”

Without fail, a decent number make it a point to settle there because “Fuck You That’s Why.” It doesn’t matter how uneconomical it is, how difficult the conditions are, how utterly ridiculous it may seem, there will be at least one human who will attempt to do it only because someone else regardless of species says it is improbable or WORSE impossible. 

“This moon is still forming as such it is primarily soft - by that I mean most of the magma is close to the surface and-” ‘OH BADASS you mean its like Mustafar right!?!?!?! I’m totally going to build a castle there.’ “What. I mean. There is NO fertile ground there whatsoever. No ecosystem. It is molten rock and minerals only.” ‘Which will make my castle there look METAL AS FUCK am I RIGHT!?!??! Come on. COME ON. I TAUGHT YOU HOW TO FISTBUMP COME ON.’ “….you….you are going to die, you know this right?” ‘I’m getting the feeling you don’t want to come to Lava Castle for some reason?’

[strangenewclassrooms]

“Listen, lad. I’ve built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was molten magma. All those aliens said I was daft to build a castle on a molten planet, but I built it all the same, just to show ‘em. It sank into the magma. So, I built a second one. That sank into the magma. So I built a third one. That spontaneously combusted, turned to ash, then sank into the magma. But the fourth one stayed up. An’ that’s what your gonna get, lad – the strongest castle in this solar system.”

[lochtayboatsong]

“I’m gonna need for you to explain ‘hurricane parties’ to me again.  You humans have the technology to track these apocalyptic storms of wind and rain and predict where on the landmass they’ll hit up to a week in advance.  And you…have social gatherings during them?”

“Well yeah, but only up to about Category 3 strength.  Then it’s time to pack the car and head inland for most people, although a few hardy souls stick around and ride them out.”

“Oh good.  Category 3 is what again?  Winds up to 75 kilometers per hour?”

“No no, Category 3 starts at 175 kilometers per hour.  You left off the one.”

[onnastik]

I’m sure I’ve reblogged some version of this before, but I needed the STRONGEST CASTLE IN THIS SOLAR SYSTEM on my blog.

[antigonesghosts]

“This planet is so cool!”

“It’s a planet completely made of ice.”

“Yeah! Let’s send some scientists! Or I could be the youngest person there!”

“You’d die, it’s below freezing level!”

“But the blizzards are so pretty!”

“The storms of dEATH ARE NOT PRETTY!”

[darker-than-darkstorm]

“PEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE???!?!?!?”

“No, of course not.  Nobody ‘sent’ anyone, they just went up there on their own.”

“They WHAT?”

[mythicamagic]

Do you have any favorite SessKag headcanon?

This is a very old ask lol, forgive me:

After Inu/kag break up but stay best friends, Kagome dates other boys. They're never quite right and she stops after a little while, deciding to focus on herself for now.

She learns a lot about priestess duties from Kaede, along with medical knowledge, herbs and such. She doesn't wear the miko garb.

During this time, when Sess visits the village, they have passing talks. It's when they come across each other in the forest while Kagome is practicing archery that they have their first proper conversation. Both are snarky, and curious about the others perceived oddities, yet not intrusive for information. They realise they don't actually mind each others company.

It takes several months of friendship that turns into mutual pining before anything happens between them. Sesshoumaru goes through the mental process of 'catching feelings' and assessing if pursing her is really the wisest decision. It's not. He does it anyway bc she's powerful, amiable and her presence has become quietly addicting.

Once they're together Kagome's boldness and bruised ego is nurtured. She becomes confident in the bedroom, something v appreciated by Sess.

Sesshoumaru plays the koto, something he learned from his mother. Its an indulgence he only partakes in at his home. Kagome loves to listen to him play.

Sesshoumaru and Shippo bond because of his involvement with Kagome. He teaches the fox different techniques with his energy. Later on it becomes fairly common to find Shippo resting somewhere in mokomokos fur. Kagome says nothing, but knows it must remind him of his own father's fur.

Likewise Rin and Kagome grow closer. They have a natural bond over both being Kaede’s pupils and Kagome learns useful foraging techniques from Rin. Meanwhile Rin is taught how to read and write by Kagome.

Inukimi and Kagome get on splendidly bc they bond over teasing Sess.

Rin is not the first child Sesshoumaru has ever spoken to, as evidenced by his display of patience with her and the line 'you don't have to tell me if you don't want to' gave me vibes he's been around them before at the Western Lands. Not super close or anything but enough, possibly having passing interactions with servant's or noble's children. He's a good father once Sesskag have children.

Kagome gifts him with books from her time, which he always finds an engaging read.

Kagome often styles his hair at the start of the day or while he's doing paperwork, answering scrolls and such. It's not unusual for the demons at the Western Stronghold to witness their Lord walking around with a French plait, Dutch braid, waterfall braid or Viking mohawk braid.

When they have a hanyou child Sesshoumaru doesn't assess everything he's said or done to Inuyasha yet. His belief system has changed slightly to accept humans and hanyous that are deemed 'his.' His prideful mindset isn't fully shattered until his own kid experiences prejudice and Sess feels a gut punch of warring emotions, wanting to kill the person who slighted his own and yet recognising that the person very much resembled himself a few years ago. It's then that he approaches Inuyasha. He 'apologises' in his own way by acknowledging that he was wrong. Inuyasha gruffly accepts it but takes every opportunity to mess with him about having a hanyou kid.

Sesskag adopt a lot of kids.

[taki-roflcaykes]

You had me at "plays the koto"!

[taki-roflcaykes]

You always hear when your grandparent has high blood pressure and how they can hurt themselves if they get worked up and you never think that's anything you ever need to consider.

Today after work I was stage 1 hypertension and my mother couldn't believe how high it was after such a stressful day.

Yes stress can harm you. It's real and I'm not even 35. Please take that heart racing dizziness seriously.

I feel like this is pretty important to realize: the cops are becoming exhausted, and there’s a limited supply of them. NYPD has every cop on duty working full days every day. We have an unlimited capacity to rotate in fresh fighters that they simply do not have. We can take shifts. They can’t.

[taki-roflcaykes]

While this started on a funny note, I will continue more seriously: Protest until the injustice is dealt with. No more contracts that dismiss disciplinary actions. No more military weapons and gear. The police are not a military. We are not a military state. Federal investigation into brutality for impartial decisions. No paid administrative leave for questionable deaths. Do not reward this behavior with leniency. They take oaths to protect and serve, not to be harmful and bigoted.

As for white nationalist groups- if we had done the RIGHT thing and made racist superiority illegal and continued Germany's example when they reformed for the future, these groups would not have the bite and teeth in their maw today.

It's our problem NOW and you must urge your representatives to push this issue- police brutality must be dealt with, but so must this racist, bigoted notion of superiority that caused millions of deaths in WWII. We must outlaw and do away with this notion. This is not freedom of speech, this is HATE. A Hate that will consume us amd destroy us the longer it fosters and survives.

God bless you anonymous soul who refilled the community bathroom tampon pile. Thank you for saving my panties for KNOWN unprepared procrastinating butt that didn't refill her own stash.

[hadeerofthesea]

not to be That Bitch but it really is insidious that the construction of the concept of “granny panties” has made women self conscious about their freaking underwear of all things (meant to be worn underneath your clothes and not be seen most of the time!!!) to the point where women sacrifice comfort to wear a gstring or cheeky hipster or whatever crap the industry comes up with all so that women can be constantly maintaining not just a pleasing outward appearance but a ~sexy~ state of mind

[nonbinary-zelda]

i would love to add if i may. perhaps the creepiest part of this phenomenon is that Children. underage girls. are included in this. i remember being made fun of for “granny panties” as young as 14 years old and many girls face it from much younger. WHAT THE FUCK. why are we making tween/teen girls feel bad for being “unsexy”?????? children should not be sexy!!!!! young girls should never have to be sexy!!!!!!!! fuck everyone who perpetuates this disgusting and pedophilic bullshit

[taki-roflcaykes]

I'm just gonna say I like my white, no panty line briefs and so does my partner. He actually doesn't give two shits about lingerie so I stopped wasting money on it.

Besides, cheeksters literally have elastic going halfway through your cheek. That is NOT comfy.

[officialdamonalbarn]

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

[officialdamonalbarn]

THANK YOU

[hickeywiththegoodhair]

somebody please explain

[dykemisspiggy]

Someone once told me it’s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.

[iwilltrytobereasonable]

…I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle

[caecilius-est-pater]

There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) that’s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think that’s what’s going on here.

[crtter]

In case anyone’s curious, here’s what it looks like when you walk past it irl:

It does have a 3D effect to it! It’s pretty neat, guess it would be even more impressive to people from the 14th century.

[midnightvoyager]

honestly, people just looking at the skull are missing the real deal here

You can read any implied text you see in this thing, even the book, that’s how detailed it is. Look at the painting on those letters!

jesus christ you’re just showing off now, Hans!

HANS OH MY GOD

anyway, the skull apparently had some meaning about the transcendence of death, you can only see it clearly when you can’t see the world clearly and vice versa, but man, I’m all about the detail in this guy’s shit

[queen-sammie]

No, I think you’re missing the real deal here

[anais-ninja-bitch]

as an art historian, i think this is the best post on tumblr

[taki-roflcaykes]

I mean, there was a reason Henry VIII chose him for his portraiture (another artist promoted by Anne). If Anne hadn't met such an awful end, imo, she would have managed to heavily influence the arts to the degree that her daughter (you know, Elizabeth I) ended up doing.

[destinytomoon-deactivated202006]

Fat isn't a bad word, people need to stop acting like it is!

And also ppl should stop believe fat means only one type of body type. When fat people have different bodytypes. Like people do love tell "this character isnt fat is just chubby!!!" When like the character indeed is fat but not as big as other fat bodies lol

[destinytomoon-deactivated202006]

Im sorry did a miss a memo where small and average people are constantly discriminated and hated for their body types?

[licoricemeat]

Well i know if you’re underweight you also get shamed. Hasnt happened to me because im a 3XL but my sister is skinny af so yea

[destinytomoon-deactivated202006]

It says "average" not underweight. And people attacking skinny people is not as systematical as fatphobia.

[licoricemeat]

It says for “small and average” so i took small meant thin. Like i love your post and agree that the commenter should have made their own post but how about just dont hate anyone for any body type ya know?

[destinytomoon-deactivated202006]

Show me exactly where i say "i hate other bodytypes" i hate how im talking about fatphobia a systemacial oppresion and hate against fat people in almost everysingle angle including medicine. And people want to turn that about another thing and act that discrimination against skinny/thin bodies is the same as fatphobia when is fucking not.

[taki-roflcaykes]

When you get vitriolic screaming in your face to eat a god damn cheeseburger and that you're anorexic, and ANYONE who's larger than you talks down to you like you're a child because you can't fucking gain weight, don't you dare fucking tell me there isn't systematic skinny/thin/small shaming when it's literally in fucking songs about "skinny bitches" and once again, "eat a god damn cheeseburger" like eating the fattiest, unhealthiest item will magically fix my own issues and make me socially acceptable to anyone who weighs more than I do.

It's not fucking rocket science to simply NOT SHAME ANY SIZE just because you "have it worse." IBS- If I eat the wrong thing and it's random, I will loose several pounds I can't afford to loose and have immense pain and no appetite for days. PCOS got you down? WELL WHOOP DE DOO SISTER because it fucks with my life too. It's not just a "big girl" problem.

Showing compassion to everyone isn't going to destroy your life because your precious misconceptions about society are limited to your own issues. Just because you don't experience it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

God forbid I voice any complaint of my own, because silence is the only thing you want to hear out of me.
