Best HFY story: The Great Filter & Food of the gods | 2536 | r/HFY

[@Tiewaz]

For the first story, it would make me wonder what would happen if a species chose to stick around like humanity for the same reason. The second story is hilarious.

[@tabithachastain6999]

Humans have turned cooking into an art. Both in presentation and in flavor

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Great stories; Excellent narration! 1st story - I would be really surprised if most of humanity wanted to fight the "final battle". 2nd story - wait until Humanity presents them with a "double mocha latte!" LOL!!!

[@commiedeer]

The Great Filter: That ending is such a human answer. Food of the Gods: Knowing our luck, that will be how we ultimately conquer the galaxy if there's anyone else out there.

The Great Coffee Filter.... Those without Coffee/Chocolate/Caffeine Colas are Doomed to never lift off from their home planet.

[@techristopher8077]

Marvelously wonderful stories and presentations

[@windyfarmer.6095]

Nice story, ready for a cup of tea now, best wishes coffee lovers from Britain.

[@jeanannd]

LOL, humans are almost addicted in some cases to these two foods as well.

[@Joshua-fo9zw]

Sugar stimulates the same part of the brain that heroine does. Saliva breaks carbohydrates down into sugar. Humans are "addicted" to way more than they are aware of.

[@Joshua-fo9zw]

I had a reply on the topic but it seems KZbin likes to censor factual data.

[@nela9994]

First story, some of us would pass the great filter, but … enough of us? One wonders. And with all those aliens … I wonder how many of the other stories might come out of that. Second story, wait until they find out about Maple Syrup.

For the first one, I'd definitely go into the machine, I could become a god and visit other people's universes while the guys outside do the hard work protecting us

@@johnnycampbell3422 you got my reference! Yay!

[@victenslaw7064]

Sad that he pretty much gave up that series.

[@nela9994]

@@victenslaw7064 indeed, but he seems to have a short attention span. Many of his series were picked up by other authors as he got distracted. Some of them keep him interested, others, well, not so much. But this is probably not the place for that conversation.

"The caffeine must flow" was the mantra of the navigators guild as every faction veid for power over the desert planet of Earth. For only through caffeine, could the navigators endure their exhausting tasks. And woah unto them who try to take their coffee away. For they shalt be jettisoned out the airlock.

[@conradrolla]

I bet they tried to grow a roasted coffee bean! Lol, even if they were gifted a coffee plant, I bet they still wouldn't know what to do with it!

[@merlinathrawes746]

Given that "GOOD" coffee requires a certain type of soil, water, elevation and other environmental factors it would be hard, not impossible, to replicate.

[@RealArcalian]

Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo Story 1: Wasn't expecting US to be the filter! Story 2: sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

Coffee is OK, but Tea is the thing!!

[@Alex.H.B.1970something]

Bravo Sir Encore! More to follow in the edit of comment. Edit, coffee and chocolate, has anyone introduced them to a Mochacino?

[@leightondoswell453]

True story 😂 I'm an addicted to them both.

1. The great filter is singularity, gravitational and technological. 2. Food becomes a continuation of war by other means.

[@hazelmurdoch6529]

What about the true Food of the Gods? - chocolate covered coffee beans!

[@MarrockV]

Back in my mall rat days there was a candy shop that sold those by the pound... I'm pretty sure I put the shop owner's kid through college.

Digitization equals death no matter how you put it. My body, soul, and consciousness is gone. Digital consciousness my remain but I don't view that as me anymore.

I can imagine people were actually offered Turkish delights to betrays their families :}

Oh, Edmond... not again. 🙄 Remember you missed out on Father Christmas last time.

[@merlinathrawes746]

Okay, but how do you stop the heat death of the universe? The energy to keep it going has to come from somewhere and even on the level of an expanding universe, energy is not infinite. I pity these xenos once they realize that :koffi: can be flavored with :tchokolit:.
