Humans Are Weird
So there has been a bit of âwhat if humans were the weird ones?â 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?Â
What if several species (including humans) land on a world and the humans are all âSCORE! Earth like world! Letâs get exploring before we get out competed!â 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.Â
To paraphrase one of my favorite bits of a âhumans are awesomeâ fiction megapost: âyou donât know youâre from a Death World until you leave it.â For a ton of reasons, I really like the idea of Earth being Space Australia.
Earth being Space Australia Words cannot express how much I love these posts
Alien: âIâm sorry, what did you just say your comfortable temperature range is?â
Human:Â âHonestly we can tolerate anywhere from -40 to 50 Celcius, but we prefer the 0 to 30 range.â
Alien: ââŚâŚ. Iâm sorry, did you just list temperatures below freezing?â
Human: âYeah, but most of us prefer to throw on scarves or jackets at those temperatures it can be a bit nippy.âÂ
Other human:Â âNah mate, I knew this guy in college who refused to wear anything past his knees and elbows until it was -20 at least.â
Human:Â âHeh. Yeah everybody knows someone like that.â
Alien: ââŚâŚ. And did you also say 50 Celcius? As in, half way to boiling?â
Human: âEugh. Yes. It sucks, we sweat everywhere, and god help you if you touch a seatbelt buckle, but yes.âÂ
Alien: ââŚâŚ. Weâve got like 50 uninhabitable planets we think you might enjoy.âÂ
âYouâre telling me that you have⌠settlements. On islands with active volcanism?â âWell, yeah. Iâm not about to tell Iceland and Hawaii how to live their lives. Actually, itâs kind of a tourist attraction.â âWhat, the molten rock?â âWell, yeah! Itâs 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 supervolcanoââ âYou ACTIVELY SEEK OUT ACTIVE SUPERVOLCANOES?â âShit, man, we swim in the groundwater near them.â
Sounds like the âDamnedâ trilogy by Alan Dean Foster.
âAnd you say the poles of your world would get as low as negative one hundred with wind chill?âÂ
âYup, with blizzards you cant see through every other day just about.â
âAmazing! when did you manage to send drones that could survive such temperatures?â
â⌠well, actuallyâŚâ
â⌠what?â
ââŚwe kindaâŚâŚ. sentâŚâŚâŚ.. peopleâŚ..â
ââŚâ
ââŚâ
ââŚwhat?â
âwe sent-â
âno yeah I heard you I just- what? You sent⌠HUMANS⌠to a place one hundred degrees below freezing?â
ây-yeahâ
âand they didnât⌠die?â
âWell the first few didâ
âPEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE???!?!?!?â
My new favorite Humans are Weird quote
âPEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE?â
aka The History of Russia
aka Arctic Exploration
aka The History of Alaska
Being from Alaska, this was sort of how I felt going to college in the lower 48â˛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 wouldnât 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, yâknow, youâre 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 wonât freeze to death in the arctic.
âIâm telling you, I donât think we need to worry about territory conflicts with the humans. You know all those deathtrap hell-worlds in the Argoth Cluster?â âThose worthless rocks? Yeah.â â80% of them are considered âresort destinationsâ by those freaky little primates.â
âIâm telling you, they terraform for fun!â âDonât be ridiculousâ âNo, 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 Grilpâs sake, they build elaborate structures out of frozen water AND THEN SLEEP IN THEM.â âDear Thilak. Think we could get them to terraform our moons?â âPsh, theyâd probably pay for the privilege.â
Eventually, it occurs to someone that humans are the perfect terraforming shock troops, as it were. They think itâs fun to be sent to horrible planets! Theyâre 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! Itâs genius.
It only takes one try before the reality of the situation sets in: human definitions of âtamingâ and âhabitableâ are woefully incomplete.
âWhy did you not eliminate the venomous plant life?â Grahsskâti moans, clutching one limb.
âThose?â The human laughs. âWhy bother? Theyâre not that bad. And they eat the mosquitoes.â
Grahsskâti shudders. The âmosquitoesâ are⌠not to be mentioned. Just one swarm of them caused a landing shuttle to crash three planetary daylights ago.
âAnd the acid storms? Why did you not warn us of them?â
âI mean, theyâre annoying,â the human says, shrugging, âbut we figured the cool sunsets made up for it.â
Grahsskâti flails helplessly. âWhat about the ten-meter tall Fanged Death Bringers? They can eliminate an entire settlement in under an hour!â
âTheyâre so cute!â the human says, brightening. âHave you met mine? Her name is Spot!â
Humans are told of some planet or region of space that is considered âcompletely and utterly inhospitable - it would be folly to try and settle there.â
Without fail, a decent number make it a point to settle there because âFuck You Thatâs Why.â It doesnât 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.Â
âThis moon is still forming as such it is primarily soft - by that I mean most of the magma is close to the surface and-â âOH BADASS you mean its like Mustafar right!?!?!?! Iâm totally going to build a castle there.â âWhat. I mean. There is NO fertile ground there whatsoever. No ecosystem. It is molten rock and minerals only.â âWhich will make my castle there look METAL AS FUCK am I RIGHT!?!??! Come on. COME ON. I TAUGHT YOU HOW TO FISTBUMP COME ON.â ââŚ.youâŚ.you are going to die, you know this right?â âIâm getting the feeling you donât want to come to Lava Castle for some reason?â
âListen, lad. Iâve 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 âem. 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. Anâ thatâs what your gonna get, lad â the strongest castle in this solar system.â
âIâm gonna need for you to explain âhurricane partiesâ to me again.  You humans have the technology to track these apocalyptic storms of wind and rain and predict where on the landmass theyâll hit up to a week in advance.  And youâŚhave social gatherings during them?â
âWell yeah, but only up to about Category 3 strength. Â Then itâs time to pack the car and head inland for most people, although a few hardy souls stick around and ride them out.â
âOh good. Â Category 3 is what again? Â Winds up to 75 kilometers per hour?â
âNo no, Category 3 starts at 175 kilometers per hour. Â You left off the one.â

About those 5 pounds you gained over ChristmasâŚ
âŚyour progress DID NOT all go down the drain! Even if the scale doesnât budge for a week it doesnât mean you gained back all the fat you lost.
In the average household around the holidays, thereâs likely to be carbs upon carbs upon carbs. Everything from mashed potatoes to bread to candy and cookies and more. Thatâs all carbs. And carbs ALONE could make your body retain around 1.5 pounds of water. Not to mention additional liquids youâve been consuming, salt intake (which also causes water retention), and of course the food waste that your body hasnât rid itself of yet.
So donât be alarmed if the scale suddenly jumps a few pounds. If you take care to eat a low carb, high fiber diet with lots of water and veggies for a few days afterwards, all of that extra weight will be flushed out and youâll be back to your normal weight. Even if you did gain a pound or two, what is a measly pound to you? Itâs nothing you havenât beat before. Itâs only 3500 calories that you can easily lose by walking an extra mile or two per day, or fasting, or restricting a few more calories than normal.
Take it one day at a time, and in a week or so youâll be back on track.
Note: avoid purging and laxatives! Let your body get rid of the extra weight the natural way. Be patient and you will see results without damaging your body, I promise!
Stay safe yâall, and happy holidays đâ¤ď¸âď¸
hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and itâs less likely to creak
socks are quieter than bare feet on tile/wood and for the love of god donât wear slippers/shoes if you can help it
climbing ON the furniture will disrupt the pattern of your footsteps and make it harder to hear where you are in the house
crawling will do the same and if you get caught crawling you can pretend you fellÂ
the floor near the wall can be really loud if the floorboards/carpet is old and not completely flush to the wall
do NOT attempt to use a rolling chair to travel without footsteps. they are extremely loud and hard to steer
Also. Breath with your mouth and not your nose. Your nose will whistle. Trust me. If you need to get into your fridge, jab your finger into the rubber part that seals the door closed and create a tiny airway. This will prevent the suction noise when you open the door. When drinking liquids (juice mostly), pour out your glass (or chug from the jug) and replace what you drank with water. If it was full enough in the beginning, no one will notice. DO NOT STEAL ALCOHOL. THEY WILL NOTICE IF ITâS WATERED DOWN. Bring a pillowcase for dried foods like cereal and granola. It helps to muffle the sound it makes when it pours.
If your house has snack packs (like gummy bears or crackers or chips), count them every day until you know the rhythm that they get consumed. (This took me a week and a half with my twin brother and sister). Then join the rhythm when you make your nightly visits. It will be that much harder to figure out it was you.
KEEP A TRASH BAG UNDER YOUR BED FOR WRAPPERS AND STUFF BUT DONT FORGET TO THROW IT OUT WHENEVER YOU CAN. BUGS YKNOW. Hope this helped.
I might have some useful info to add.
-a jar of peanut butter is long lasting and easy to hide under a bed or in a dresser drawer. I lived off of jars of peanut butter and boxes of saltine crackers I would buy on grocery trips with my mom.
-two words: Slipper Socks. These are the socks that have rubber designs on the bottom for grip. They make no noise, and also keep you steady on slicker surfaces like tile and wood. You can find them cheap at Walmart. They also keep your feet more protected if youâre outside.
-if youâre secure enough in your room to have a small food stash, make sure youâre not too obvious about it (duh) but also move its location every few days. I kept mine in a shoebox under my bed, then switched it to a backpack in my closet, then wedged between my bookshelf and wall, and I would cycle locations until i moved it permanently to a false-bottomed drawer I installed in my dresser when my father was gone for a weekend. I would NEVER put food directly into my stash after taking it. I would keep it in pockets of my clothes and between books until everyone went to sleep, then Iâd stock and stow my stash for the next few days.
-get a water bottle with a filter in it. I used to be able to reach my bathroom from my bedroom door down the hall using a huge step or minor jump/leap. If I was afraid of being caught at night, Iâd fill up the humidifier tank we kept under our sink while I took a short shower, and would refill my water that way. It might not be the best option, but I kept a small stockade of water under my bed for emergencies.
-if you can, smuggle your garbage out in your backpack or purse. Dispose of it at work/school. I got caught twice by carelessly throwing away packaging.
-if someone knows the situation youâre going through (close friend/partner/etc) see if thereâs a way for them to get food or other supplies to you at school or work or what private time you may get. A hidden first aid kit literally saved parts of my body before and I owe it to a close friend.
-try learning the buildingâs natural rhythm. The house I grew up in would creak and settle heavily every night for 3-5 minutes. That was my shot, and I had to be QUICK. I still got caught a few times, but learning the patterns in our floors and walls, when they creaked, WHERE they creaked, kept me going. Eventually I was sprinting in slipper socks to the kitchen and back in less than 90 seconds.
-if you have stairs, or live upstairs. Sit as you go down them one at a time, or climb up them like an animal. It keeps you low/out of lots of motion sight, and also can reduce noise and creaking by distributing weight over more than 1-2 steps.
-You can use common hand sanitizer to remove the stains certain snack foods leave behind (coughs cheeto fingers) and a dry toothbrush can help scrub the color off your tongue. If you can get powdered toothpaste or toothpaste tabs to keep on hand, it makes a huge difference in sneakiness.
-I donât recommend going for dried foods like granola or cereal unless you can sneak it to a secure place to get it. Itâs too loud, itâs a gamble every time for something with less caloric intake than itâs worth if you get caught. Of course, there are times when thatâs the only option!!
-if youâre taking milk, add water, but be SURE to shake/agitate the bottle to distribute the dairy fat with the water. I got into the habit of shaking milk jugs when I started sneaking it, and explained the habit as something I read in an old comic strip my father showed me. (Back when whole milk had a lot more cream fats and theyâd separate, so shaking it would redistribute the cream.) I still shake milk jugs to this day.
-if your windows open or donât have screens, eat leaning out an open window. Any food mess will be lost in the dirt. I was lucky I had bushes and birds outside that would catch my granola bar crumbs before anyone could notice.
-canned goods are tempting, but not worth it. It requires too many tools (can opener/strained sometimes/utensils/some need heat) stick to thinks like various nut butters (sunflower/peanut/almond), crackers, dried fruit, and easy to conceal food bars (nature valley/nutrigrain/etc.) dried ramen packets are good uncooked if you can stand the texture. Apple sauce and pudding cups are also easier to sneak and stash than one might think, and can be eaten with your fingers. The only canned foods I recommend are condensed soups and precooked pasta (spaghetti-oâs). You can easily mix them with a little bit of hot water from the tap and get something more sustaining than a handful of captain Crunch. The cans are cheap, sometimes recyclable, and drinking soup takes way less time than chewing solid food.
-if you menstruate, attempt to stash pads/tampons in a safe location. Sometimes shit happens. Pads can work as bandages in emergency situations. Sometimes shark week comes unexpectedly. If you can sneak a roll of toilet paper or paper towels, these are also life savers.
-plastic utensils from takeout containers can be hidden inside socks and will be worth their weight in gold when you least expect it. I bought myself a tiny plastic bowl from the dollar store and kept cheap trinkets in it on my desk so it didnât seem like a bowl I was eating out of. You could try this with something like a mason jar, which is also useful for drinking out of or storing water.
-if youâre eating a crunchy or solid food, try soaking it in water. Mushy food can be repulsive in texture, but I could clock the sound of someone eating a nature valley oat bar from like 6 miles away. Dunking it in water (or using a secret bowl+water) can reduce noise, and also eating time since you donât have to chew as much.
-keep a laundry bar or tide pen on you. Laundry bars are super useful, a little hard to find though. I washed a lot of stains out of my clothes with laundry bars in my bathroom sink as a kid. Not proud if it, but it kept me flying under the radar at school.
-clear rubber bands, plain twine or string, paper clips, and thumb tacks. Indescribably useful. I once rigged a system to open tricky cabinets and get objects from inside using two paper clips and a foot of plain string like a mock lasso system.
-if youâre pulling objects from tall cabinets, use your chest or stomach to cushion them. Let them fall into your torso and then into your hands cradled underneath. Not as loud, not as much grabbing, if someone sees it they can mistake it for it falling on you by the body language.
-get a bandana. Or four. Napkins, bandages, tool, and accessory all in one.
-get a tiny sewing kit. Iâm talking 3 needles and a spool of thread tiny. Scissors if you can sneak it. See things into your clothes. Make hidden pockets or compartments. Threadbanger on YouTube did a video a few years ago about sneaking things into music festivals using tiny clothing mods, but they may be useful in sneaking money or medicine.
-on the topic of sneaking money. donât take bills, take change. If your abusers donât meticulously count their nickels and pennies, theyâre an easy(ish) way to build up a tiny savings pool. I found nickels the least noticed coin I took, even more than pennies, and taking two every few nights from where theyâd be tossed on our countertop soon built up to a semi-reliable fund I passed off to someone to get me food for my stash without having to sneak it from the kitchen. As soon as I became âindependentâ in my food storage, I was subjected to much less scrutiny. I managed to build up a solid 1-2 week ration supply after hoarding change.
-you can tape SD cards to the inside of book dust covers(the part that folds inside the actual cover of the book), if you have a sewing kit or zipper on it inside the stuffing of your pillow (trim a corner, stuff it inside, stitch it closed) or (this is final resort) VERY CAREFULLY remove the covering from your outlet and tape it to the wall stud before replacing the casing. I kept mine inside part of my wooden bed frame that I hollowed out using, you guessed it, take out silverware knives and 4 nights without sleep.
-THE FLOOR IS LAVA WAS KEY TRAINING FOR ME AS A CHILD. I learned to take pillows with me, climb on furniture to disrupt my flow of movement, toss a pillow down, and use that to cushion any rattle our living room could give off as I crept to the kitchen from the side entrance so my momâs dog wouldnât bark or alert anyone. I highly suggest crawling around on all fours like some sort of beast to stay out of sight.
-can you run your house blindfolded?? If you canât. Maybe you should try to learn. I suffered some heavy eye traumas growing up and had a collective 3-4 months just IN THE DARK. Eyes bandaged, left alone. It was terrible, but damn if I couldnât navigate the whole place silently, without any visual cues. This helps a lot with the whole moving around in the dark thing, too. Listening is obviously key.
-if your parents start getting suspicious, or youâre suspicious theyâre getting suspicious, watch out for traps. String on the ground that gets shifted when you walk on it. Baby powder or flour left to track footprints or doors opening/closing. My dad was partial to wrapping a bungee cord around my doorknob and attaching it to the closet across the hallway. I wouldnât be able to open my door enough to get out, or if I did, I risked ruining the structural integrity of the wrappings he did, and he would notice.
-learn to tie some knots. Strong ones. Theyâll come in handy at one point or another.
-remember that youâre not totally alone. Thereâs people out there for you. Wanting to make everything better. You donât deserve whatâs happening, it isnât normal, and you will eventually find help. But staying safe is important, and you are important.
It upsets me that people might need to know these but I know it could really help someone by reblogging
ALWAYS REBLOG
Things that have helped me over the years:
â˘Keeping a $10 bill on the inside of my phone case for emergencies. My mother will search my wallet and bags but has not taken my phone case off when she takes my phone as of yet.
â˘stashing loose change I find in the soil of my potted plant. Very quiet hiding place for coins. All bills are quickly confiscated but coins I have managed to hold onto this way
â˘changing food stash locations constantly. A good stash Iâve found is buried in my mice seed mix. Small packages or granola bars can fit in there pretty easily and the wrappers are flushable (I know itâs bad to flush them but my trash is routinely searched)
⢠always deleting online traces in case of phone/computer search. This includes search history, forbidden apps, messages, pictures, notes, games, etc. I donât know how many times I have deleted the tumblr app during the day only to re download it late at night to use it. My phone and computer are constantly confiscated and gone through with a fine tooth comb. I delete anything I might possibly get in trouble for after I use it and re download it when I need it again. Donât delete all your browsing history though, they will notice if itâs suspiciously empty. Fill it with safe and approved stuff and remove anything you might get punished for.
â˘learning what each and every door in the house sounds like so I know who is where at all times without having to leave the room
â˘learning where those âsweet spotsâ are in the house where you can notice anyone coming before they can see you or what you are doing
â˘always having a pre-approved cover. I use books and preaching videos as covers. I can hide a phone in a book or quickly switch apps to the one playing the video if surprised or discovered.
⢠always being aware of âthe trailâ. If I tell a friend something who tells their sibling who tells my sibling who tells my mom I get punished so basically tell no one and it wonât come back to bite you. This includes talking about tv shows/movies that are forbidden, forbidden foods/drinks, activities, apps, games, friends, political views, etc. Express an opinion and itâs bound to reach someone you donât want it to.
â˘never take from your abuserâs personal stash of food or money. The family pantry is fair game to carefully pilfer from and so is loose change but never take from their personal purse/wallet, fridge, pantry, or stash. They WILL find out.
â˘beware of traps and manipulation . My mother will leave money and food unattended and wait for it to disappear. She will also act like she wants to do a good thing and help you out but in the end you will pay for it a hundred times over. Avoid this if at all possible.
⢠NEVER develop a false sense of security. I have made the mistake of not deleting an app (Pinterest) because there had been a few weeks between phone searches and I felt a little safer. I got caught and severely punished. ALWAYS COVER YOUR TRACKS. Donât get too confident in your methods, eventually they will find something. Make sure itâs something minor.
I just want to point out that when deleting apps, make sure to check that the app store you use doesnât record what was recently installed. I know that the Google Play Store does this and allows you to delete things from your history, but I donât know anything about Apple.
this is rlly useful to me tbh,,
nothing to do with my blog, but I wouldâve found this post super helpful when I lived at home, so
It pains me to know some people need this, but it seems very helpful. Iâm sorry if you do need this, and Iâm even more sorry that this is all I can really offer you beside someone to talk to (me) if you need it. Please, stay strong, you can get through this.
