Story 1: We may stand up to the reaper any chance we get but not to that extent. Story 2: Your words flatter us for our ablity to throw rocks.

[@avroarchitect1793]

evolution of military tech is basically, swing rock harder and faster, make rock tougher, or throw rock faster and throw heavier rock.

[@mywither7878]

Story 1 I daresay that if given the means, many would go to that extent time and time again.

[@TheAussief1]

First story reminds of one that my uncle (a doctor) told once, he was getting a haircut when a local walking past dropped with a heart attack. He’s raced out with the barbers sheet still around him and started CPR. Broke all the ribs of the guy and saved his life. He couldn’t buy a drink in the pub where that local drank in after that. His money was no good.

[@SapphireBlue117]

Why was his money no good? Was it because he broke all the ribs?

@@SapphireBlue117 the term “his money was no good” meant that his drinks were free. The heart attack guy paid for them.

[@evernewb2073]

to be fair, it actually _is_ slightly up for the debate: that our bodies are developed to treat basically any object we can reasonably lift as a projectile weapon is not disputable, the only fuzzy point is that the trait developed because the first thing we were throwing was ourselves, that "predatory" binocular rangefinding vision and manipulator limbs build is common among arboreal animals on earth whether they catch bugs out of the air or get by mostly on leaves and seeds and presumably some functional equivalent would be common among anything that developed under similar circumstances elsewhere. anyways, my point is that the throwing things predates any other tool use, predates predatory behavior, and accrues a greater degree of refinement and structural devotion in our bodies than running does, it's actually by far the biggest reason that whole persistance predator thing developed at all: we were already doing step 1: "cause a target to flee, preferably injured" every time we were throwing rocks at things to defend ourselves or threaten something else out of a space we wanted to occupy. in short it's not "smart monkey throw rock" it's "rock monkey get smart"

Greetings, Mentlgent! For the Rhythm that is Algo Story 1: Yeah if the accuser uses medical science too, the Necromancy argument has no real weight. Story 2: Again, following logic, our natural weapon is throwing. Not guns.

[@mywither7878]

Throwing guns, m8. Or, think of guns as a good way of throwing small things very fast.

[@sherylcascadden4988]

Throw a rock. Throw a pointy rock attached to a stick for leverage. make something to fling a smaller version of pointy rock on a stick further and faster. And so on. Rocket propelled explody rocks are the best we can do right now, who knows what we will come up with later?

My mother's favorite DnD character Idea was Trauma nurse/doctor so proficient at their job that they accidentally started performing acts of necromancy; an undead kidney here, a heart that scientifically SHOULD NOT be beating there, etc.

[@pipes9878]

I think those thespians deserve a round of applause 👏 such gripping interpretation 🥲 bravo 🎉

[@cgi2002]

It's not that guns are our natural weapons, they are a result of our natural weapon. Humanity evolved as a relatively weak race, with 1 major advantage. Evolution taught us a very important lesson, it taught us to cheat, to bend the world to our will. The first step of that was finding a way to beat the world at its favourite game, trying to kill us, by killing the predators it sent after us, to that end we found the stick and the rock, which we adapted to become better and better weapons over time. Then we merged them together into an even better weapon, follow that path to the modern world and you get the gun, the most effective version we currently have of throwing the rock, and the knife, what happened when we learned to make our own sticks out of rock.

Story number one. I actually want to know more as to why they have banned Necromancy? Maybe a Necrophage almost ruined their Federation eons ago.

[@georgeridden1705]

Maybe because he revived the person without any proper medical equipment. And the aliens doesn't have the perfect understanding of human biology. So they thought he was using magic. The aliens use chemicals and other form of medicines, there is a clear form of science in ther. Who would've thought pressing your hands on someone's chest would bring them back to life?

[@gabrielabatista6016]

Maybe someone tried to bring their loved one back from the dead and it didn't come back quite alright, and they don't want a repeat of that incident. Either that or it's a religious or moral thing.

[@loganshaw4527]

Ya the cryogenic could be a slow necromancy. Because it brings them back at a much later date so the person does not die.

Humanity went from whatever we could fine to bear something to throwing well sized rocks. Then we figured out with the right carving we could throw sharpened branches with more force than we could muster. Into draw strings metal working. The ultimate culmination of human base ingenuity is the armor piercing fin stabilized discord sabot. Though guns are pretty humanly ubiquitous

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

7:29 Fun Fact; there's a FROG that does a successful cryogenic freeze each winter; the innocuously named "Brown Tree Frog" produces an antifreeze compound when the winter cold snap comes by, which keeps its cells from taking any notable damage from the ice crystals. Then, as it's center is about to freeze, around it's heart it produces a compound that, at room temperature, reacts and makes a spark, but doesn't at near freezing, so that when it thaws, it defibrilates itself, because when it freezes its heart stops outright.

#2 is Hillarious!

[@markuhler2664]

I still get a little satisfaction feeling ribs crack under my compressions, just because I'm giving my patient the best chance of surviving. As for the second, let's chock it up to a "certain point if view."

[@peterwall8191]

Story1: Doesn't work that way. The heart actually stops for a few seconds, during the climax of sexual intercourse. -- Not every time , but if you're lucky and practice a lot..-- we call orgasm the little death for a reason. The heart stops ,the brain ceases to function. For a few seconds you are medically dead. Then everything resumes its natural function, usually. Dying is a complicated business. To an extent we are constantly dying. Our cell are constantly dying ,only to be replaced by new ones. An adult human does not have a single cell in their body, of those they left the womb with. CPR actually looks crude, but it is not. It stimulates not the heart, but the mechanism that makes the heart beat and the lungs expand. Talk of necromancy, in an FTL age indeed! Necromancy, is the art of communicating with the dead to learn the future. Raising the dead.. that is beyond even the most capable necromancer. Any apprentice mage can make a corpse move, true resurrection.. that takes a god ,and a very complicated exchange of favours between gods. Yes i know what your fantasy says. I Don't Give A Fart, what some nerd came up with. I'm telling you how things work, not how someone imagined they work. Story 2: Humans have one natural weapon only, their mind. The rest are tools and toys. Anything can be a weapon if the will is there. A hammer is a tool, but hammers have been used as weapons. A fail is a tool , yet that too has been weaponized. There is only one weapon . The human mind and its goals. The rest are tools. Forbid one , it will invent another. If the will is there, the way will be found. Be careful what you forbid, lest the replacement is worse than what you prohibit.

[@medical-cyanide1526]

The “you have no cells that are the same as the womb when you were in the womb.” Is a gross oversimplification. Grey matter, nervous tissue is tissue that doesn’t get replaced.

[@truekurayami]

Necro Divination is the art of communicating with the dead to learn the future. Necromancy is much much broader then that, while yes what is typically seen as necromancy takes the work of Higher(or contextually Lower) being it is still Necromancy. "Last Rites" or Funeral Rites is actually the most commonly practiced form of Necromancy
