Best HFY story: The humans red button | 2595 | r/HFY

[@Norbrookc]

Paraphrasing a certain Time Lord: "Good species don't need rules. Today is the day you find out why we have so many."

[@tarrantwolf]

Well, it's better than the "strange matter" button. We only use that one for posthumous revenge.

[@nuru666]

Oh that's just spiteful. I like it.

Welcome to the Geneva Checklist!

[@mackenziedrake]

That's tragic, not just for those destroyed, but for those come to such desperate ends. Your telling is exactly right to bring it to life. Many thanks.

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Great story; Excellent narration! This story sounds like a retelling of the end of World War II (Pacific theater).

[@robertstoneking7916]

I wonder if the aliens understood the relation between lethality and ornamentation, and just how scary a weapon we don't bother to put on a show with is before we used it.

[@MarrockV]

Don't try to be the bigger monster, the humans have been at it longer and are much better at it than you could ever hope to be.

[@brianmeadows1137]

Half proud and sad that this is true.

[@Tiewaz]

The difference is when one looks at themselves and sees a monster. Do they try to be better or do they revel in it? The former one can respect, especially as odds are good they will try to avoid being a monster once they put remorseless monsters down. The latter is why the former exists.

A red button. The kind of button that looked like it wanted to be pressed.

[@MarrockV]

Do you mean the beautiful, shiny button? The jolly, candy-like button? That one?

[@Ibian666]

@@MarrockV That one. Yes. The one that says Do Not Push.

[@nuru666]

@@Ibian666 Maybe just a little push?

I simply love your narrations. Nuff said!

[@warhorse03826]

the red button releases Harvey Cthulhu. everyone knows this.

[@Shinobubu]

There's actually two red buttons. Delete Evil Species. and Convert Evil Species into Evil Catgirls.

[@mattbrown5511]

A serious lesson in FAFO.

As my grandfather use to always say, 'Speaker softly and carry a large Antimatter bomb in your back pocket' ;)

[@chrisreadwells]

I read or listened to this one sometime in the last month. Nice for it to reach the Squirrel.

The be pedantic, Oppenheimer's CORRECT full quote is "“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Missed a couple of words there.

[@IceFiction404]

Love it!

[@billcook7285]

Another good one

Gives a person someting to think about doesn't. WITH ENERGY!!

[@anathardayaldar]

Looks like he found the cheat code to delete a faction. Like in Medieval2TotalWar. I use it only very sparingly of course. Like when an ally in the rear declares war on me.
