Best SciFi Storytime 1558 - Humans Are... & An Old Debt | HFY | Humans Are Space Orcs

[@vdsora32]

Story 1: You gave us kindness, let us show you our fury. Story 2: It really was the friends we made along the way.

[@merlinathrawes746]

Humans have two great abilities. The ability for friendship and an ability for vengeance. Seek the former and avoid the latter.

[@kashkara_8943]

Humans are an enigma wrapped in a mystery peppered with enough hate to remind people that "don't poke it"

[@Nyghtking]

Humans also want to copulate with aliens.

[@barelyasurvivor1257]

But they always do poke the Humans, don't they ?

[@gmailquinn]

Yes, and one becomes an example

[@____________838]

Unless it wants to be poked. Again, humans are strange…

[@calvingreene90]

Humans are warriors that dream of peace, wrath that dreams of justice, and destroyers that dream of creation.

[@Azurath100]

And in doing so, create a hellscape for themselves with nothing left but to call for aide from an empty hope that someone somewhere will care.

[@MaximusOverhead]

@oppai-sama Wraths are ghost fueled by vengeance in fantasy settings

[@colinayre2109]

That word is WRAITH, wrath is anger that is made manifest through violence

[@TheMonkey747]

Another pair of emotionally moving stories! Ooh-rah!!

[@micahdeck9553]

I love the reference at the end to Alexander the Great, giving his speech to his Roman troops who wanted to return home with the wounded.

[@tray1598]

I noticed the same thing

[@wildwikedwanderer1208]

Story 1: I think you’ve done this one your first year of reading I’d have to go through and try to find it. Still a great one Story 2: chills, goosebumps, tear in my eye bravo your voice acting always great

[@bountyhuntermaster2896]

Can confirm it has been read previously but i feel like others have too, I like to think of it as he is remastering the content, or maybe it had to be deleted due to youtube nonsense, nope not deleted here is a link tho kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z17VoJ9jhKiSjKs neat trick is to put the HFY reddit link into the YT search and it comes right up

[@miguelcolon5701]

the second story reminds me of Alexander's the great speech at the opis mutiny

[@Pizza_Pepperoni0]

and you are absolutely right about it

[@shrimpboat7565]

It literally is

[@tray1598]

yep indeed

[@Pizza_Pepperoni0]

the second stories speech is Alexander the Great Opus Mutiny

[@continentaltuber8610]

People of Soctonia ! The long war with the nanite swarms are over, the destruction of alter-1 was the final blow to these infernal machines. We liberated countless planets from their tyranny and we recovered all those lost socks. And so we will turn to exploration of the galaxy we call home. With this I am glad to announce the formation of the Socktonian imperium ! All hail the Socktonian imperium all hail those heroes that came before !

[@MrWoodsy420]

I could definitely see that Alexander’s speech to his men inspired the second story

[@anathardayaldar]

12:02 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Borg... The Ents go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah... Praise the Lord, and pass the dakka dakka... King George commands and we obey, over the stars and far away...

2nd Story: Ah yes Alexander the Great if he was in space

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

About the ending of the first story; Don't worry, even if you cross us we'll be just and honorable, perhaps even limiting the unpleasantries to rivalry-like tech races or lessened trade. Crossing us isn't what lights that fire; _Slaughtering_ and _invading_ us is what lights that initial flame.

[@DEMONOFLOVEANDDEATH]

Bless the Squerril Bless the Author

[@Dmaster2k]

I realize that while reading you can get ahead of yourself and misspeak, but I've noticed that you sometimes omit entire phrases that completely change the context or add words that aren't there. For example, in the second story at 8:30 you said 'experimented on' when in the text just read 'exterminated'. I would just suggest maybe slowing down just a bit to process what you read before orating.

[@lonewoof79]

I think that was a deliberate edit to avoid demonetisation.

[@TheMonkey747]

@@lonewoof79 That is possible, yt sensitivity can be questionable.

Lovely fish cam channel. That background audio is quite engaging too.

Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhythm that is Algo Story 1: Humans are Vengeance. But also Grateful. Story 2: Thanks for being grateful to us in turn.

[@yomogami4561]

two enjoyable stories and narration thanks

[@defendedshadow9664]

The second one seems to be based on the speech Alexander the Great gave that stopped his army from rebelling against him by reminding them all he had done for them.

[@gta2281]

Could be the speech inspired the author. The captain seemed a student of galactic history and a big fan of humanity. I'd like to think he looked into ancient human history, read that speech at some point and adopted it for this moment in the story. At least that's what I'd say if I was the author and asked.

[@mrtodddelaroderie]

Thanks Agro. Great stories.

Humans would probably focus on rebuilding earth for the next thousand years with the first story

[@adphoenix600]

So in that time humans actually created Depleted uranium ammunition or some kind like that maybe it’s common to have depleted uranium in that time maybe that is powerful and cancerous I know that comes in like only tanks right now but put it into actual rifles and stuff like what

Humans are a contradiction. There is not a single trait you can attribute to them that they do not display the opposite in equal measure.

[@beingsneaky]

Hey now.. your a rock star... but ah seriuoly Hey now... i think humanity would have sone sort of contingency place in place fir almost anything.. i think gray goo would be one of our most feared threats up there with rouge AI.. and not to have a 0lsn in place for either of those?? Sad sad humans..

How would we work out alien relationships. By earth standards of a year I'm 27 but by mercury standards I'm 111. By the same standards someone from mercury would be 18 but on earth they'd be 4.
