Podcast is Called : ASN Humans Are Space Orcs , HFY and other stories
--------------
This Story is Classified as HFY or Humanity Feck, Yea , but what does the Mean?
-------------
HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
-------------
Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity Feck Yea , these don't always put a positive spin on humans\humanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

"How did you know where to send your fleets, what maneuvers to execute?" "Experience." "Against each other?" "Pretty much."

[@danijelandroid]

He should have answered; "Pretty much and war games/exercises."

[@Kualinar]

Pretty much, and a lot of simulations against a very large variety of imaginary opponents.

[@zambekiller]

Fleet commander - Actually Hans flipped a coin. Hans - I CALLED HEADS!!!!!! Fleet commander - God damnit he's going to be riding that for awhile.

[@NyxtoX6]

They should've told her about the past wars namely WW1, WW2, Vietnam War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Ukraine-Russian War, and the Israel-Palestinian wars

[@xessq1]

I love that so many of us live this quote.. "It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war" .. Xeno's beware

[@Manu-ct9uz]

Samwise Gamgee: "Am I a joke to you?"

everyone fighting in the ruined gardens of the imperial palace during the final days of the horus heresy: "YOU THINK?!????!?!"

"Why do you have so many soldiers and guns?" Humans stare uncomprehendingly.

[@YDV669]

"Wait, do you not?"

[@brianjuergensmeyer8809]

This very much reminds me of a quote I remember hearing. Not sure who said it first, but "You cannot truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of great violence. If you aren’t capable of violence, you aren’t peaceful. You’re harmless."

[@quinnhasse9170]

i think it was another hfy story from this channel don't ask for the name, i don't remember either

[@alganhar1]

@@quinnhasse9170 No, it was not, its a saying attributed to a Jocko Willink, a retired US Navy SEAL who went on to become a Podcaster and motivational speaker among other things. He is quite well known amongst certain circles. Any HFY author claiming to have come up with it is lying, unless they are Willink themselves, which is doubtful

[@ombrepourpre7562]

Japan start to remember of it lately. And stop to wait for the help of USA for protection, understanding they NEED to be able to protect themself if they want to remain peaceful (tough US people really need to remember this was them, who have forced Japan to add that to their Constitution 🙄 And ask them if revise and change their own as worked lately 😂)

[@atanaciogarza7176]

Wasn't it Dr. Jordan Peterson?

[@albertnonymous9759]

​@@atanaciogarza7176 Peterson derives a variant that expresses the same idea from a Bible verse, Matthew 5:5, "the meek shall inherit the Earth" more properly (at least according to him, anyway, it's dubious, and I personally believe the common "meek" is more correct) translated as something like "those who carry swords but choose not to use them shall inherit the Earth". It's a universal idea you can see reflected across cultures, time and space, only variation in the wording all expressing the same idea. Like "As above, so below", an ancient Egyptian precursor to alchemy, mirroring the Chinese concept or Yin and Yang, and having some similarities to the Christian "As it is in Heaven, so it shall be on Earth". Universal ideas, invented in cultures worlds apart.

[@Ibian666]

A king asked the Oracle how the war would turn out if he attacked his enemy. She said there would be a great victory. And there was. For the other side.

[@janet6421]

I thought she told him a great kingdom would fall. It was his.

[@brentmartin6833]

@janet6421 I always wondered if when she said *Great* Kingdom if she put the "Great" in air quotes? Of course, the King would have *no idea* what air quotes would mean, so he just assumed it was some Oracle thing.

[@FedralBI]

"It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war"... unless your name is Sam Gamgee, then you become the true hero of LOTR.

[@daemonflayer]

We can't see the future, so we just plan for all possibilities we can conceive of, then throw in some additional countermeasures as a "just in case".

[@yomogami4561]

and watch some scifi series and read a few book series

[@shanerooney7288]

And have half a dozen competing systems working against each other, ready to fill the vacuum when another system slips up.

[@lumberluc]

We can predict the future, but it's all Trance-like states, predictive algorithms, and pattern recognitions. Heck, we predicted "Facetime" in the 80s, and look were we are now.

[@GabrielArchon]

"What if...?"

[@Whisper555]

Someone needs to tell the Xibellian's that on a class 14 death world you don't plan for things to go right, you plan for everything to go wrong and after that, everything takes care of itself.

[@janet6421]

How did you know to prepare for war? Murphy's Law of Engineering. "Anything that can go wrong eventually will. Prepare accordingly."

[@monicaclark8453]

Murphy's More General Law: "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way." Humanity lives and dies by the understanding that Murphy's Law is as absolute as the Laws of Thermodynamics. We are prepared for war at all times because the worst way anything can go wrong is for it to spiral into a war that you aren't prepared for.

[@GabrielArchon]

@@monicaclark8453 Mostly because it has not been proven wrong... So far.

[@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233]

@@GabrielArchon It can't be, because proving Murphy's Law Wrong falls under the paradigm of anything that can go wrong eventually will. So it's either a paradox or a recursion.

[@austinharris2961]

I FUCKING LOVE THE "HUMANS ARE JUST TECHNO BARBARIAN APES IN SPACE" PLOT POINTS

[@markuhler2664]

I do love that quote, as well as "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum", (If you want peace, prepare for war).

[@daddyleon]

Predicted where the speech would take palce. Hilarious

[@PocoToro]

And with humans the warrior can be a gardener

[@bloodhunter07]

There was a tribe in the Arabian peninsula back at the time of the Islamic expansion named "Bani Hellal"( Bani= sons of / Hellal= Crescent Moon and is also the name of a person) wich I'm a decent of . They were nomadic in nature going form oasis to oasis raising their camels and sheep during most of the year and selling wool and milk in the winter and summer caravans . Their way of live blessed them with excellent physics that helped them fight well because the desert if full of dangerous predators and they made excellent soldiers. As when an new campaign would come they would always participate and win decisive victory's in important battles

[@jeredmelendez6184]

Yay time for squirrels

[@MidnightSmoke]

I know we are primitive, but calling us imbeciles is a bit harsh. Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, and get you the recognition you deserve.

[@Sanquinity]

I mean...when a species sees being able to predict the future as a form of higher intellect, of course a species completely devoid of this ability would be seen as imbeciles.

[@reduande]

A truth hurts. A human is smart. But as a race we are imbeciles...

[@akmon3490]

Yet they can't learn from the past and rely only on future sight😅

[@Sanquinity]

@@akmon3490 Really though...if you could look, let's say, up to 10 years into the future. Why would you need to learn from the past? You can just look into the future and see if what you're planning on doing will have a bad outcome or not. Us humans HAVE to learn from the past, because we have no way to see what the future will hold.

[@reduande]

@@Sanquinity problem is, it's pretty obvious if you think about it a little. But doing what you should isn't often what you wish to do...

[@j.j.663]

For The Narrator, For the Algorithm! Wonderful story of an alien race of prophets and seers mistaking our over-the-top thorough-ness for future sight. Don't need to see the future if you know about everything that can lead to it!

[@tehrankizaki9627]

Wow, lots of yall waiting an hour and a half early. Agro you got some dedicated fans

[@bunnybootsink9258]

The city is on day 3 of shut down because of ice storms. I can't do much.

[@tehrankizaki9627]

Fair enough

[@brentmartin6833]

How did you know to send such a large fleet? Oh. Shrug... *everyone* wanted target practice. Well then, how did you know you're planet would be safe? Oh, well you see, the *larger* fleet stayed home. However, they did call *dibs* for the next one.

[@akmon3490]

That was the only thing missing from this story 😂😂

[@I3igI3adW0lf]

The walking nightmare that is humanity proving once again why it is a walking nightmare. A millennia of killing each other would be bound to create some predictable patterns to follow.

[@Sanquinity]

Not being able to predict the future means you learn to make plans for every possible outcome you can think of. :P

[@nickschaefer9320]

I feel like I've heard this one before. But then again Agro has done so many stories he could get away with a re-deux every so often.

[@DavidJohnsonFromSeattle]

I love the Delphi and Delhi misunderstanding.

[@MrSirwolf2001]

For the algorithm, for the squirrel, for the disembodied voice.

[@InternetGravedigger]

Humans are not seers (in general) we're planners. Now I personally have had dreams that came true, but they're rare, erratic, random, about nothing useful, and generally not something I remember until it happens and as such is useless.

[@ssu7653]

If it was not for all those dreams that dont come true, and the uncertain timeframe for those that do. It would be very usefull ;)

[@peterbonucci9661]

Yes, they predict it perfectly, but it's just you talking to friends. They're not actually useful.

[@InternetGravedigger]

@@peterbonucci9661 Or something I read, or just a short snippet of normal life...

Desja Fo

[@WorldWalker128]

I call them 'Snapshot visions'. They only last about 60 seconds, and it's NEVER anything useful. Half a conversation I'm going to have, a page or two from a book I'm going to read, a frustrating puzzle from a video game I haven't played yet, how many envelopes will be in the mailbox the next time I check it, what the first song that plays on the radio I'll hear the next day....but though it's mildly entertaining, it's not helpful. Once in a blue moon I'll see something dramatic such as a BAD car accident or someone getting assaulted in one way or another....but so far those turn out a few years later to be scenes from movies or TV shows even if the people involved have familiar faces at the time.

[@alfredsutton4412]

Great entertainment. Thanks to the creative author and double thanks to the talented voice actor. All praise to the algorithm that controls all.

[@mattbrown5511]

The past can often give predictors of the future. Those that do not learn from past mistakes are doomed to repeat those mistakes again. Also, there is no such thing as "over-kill", just preparedness or defeat.

[@edwyrdkarn963]

For the writer, for the narrator, for the algorithm!😁

[@yomogami4561]

oh i loved the story. for a minute i thought she was a grey when she said we've met before thanks for the narration

[@robertchabot5625]

Being the warrior in a garden means you're better prepared for what may come.

[@storbokki371]

I like to think somewhere out in the universe an alien translator is listening to your stories and is scared shitless of humans. lol

[@GuukanKitsune]

It's not future sight. It's just foresight and hindsight meeting. That's all. We've basically pulled every imaginable trick on each other, and had every imaginable oversight happen, and every time a new trick got pulled or an inexpected thing happened, it got noted and a way to counter or prepare for it was thought up and put in readiness to prevent it from happening again.

[@JRRodriguez-nu7po]

Anyone can write anything, but I assert the following is true. Both my wife and I are immortal seers. The irritating thing being everyone I know that claims this is either mistaken ir lying other than us. When you state to within 15 min when someone will die 2 weeksvin advance, and have never, ever, been wrong about a prediction, come talk to me. However, it's not something we control. It happens, often years go by before one of us sees or speaks the future. Being immortal is not required for this, but it is comforting.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

Humans don't know ahead of time if things go wrong, or when things go wrong, but we have a pretty good idea of how things go wrong, and we make the effort to not do those things. Though, it wouldn't surprise me if, in a universe with divination, our luck was more than just random chance. We simply never realized how lucky we were, because we were always pitted against people just as lucky as us, so we had to put in the leg work to prepare better. We might have the same level of intuition as any other species, but that doesn't matter if both sides in a conflict have the same level of intuition, and are actively working to subvert the other side.

[@jessoliver2955]

Not so. I am a gardener. I can effectively use just about any weapon you can feed a bullet into. I achieved #1 contender at state level mma. I’m trained to knife fight. Also hatchet, sword, staff/spear, and lethal hand to hand technique. In the garden. The gardener IS the warrior

There's a saying that the best never fears the second-best. The best fears the worst, because there's no way to know what those idiots will do!

[@Sanquinity]

This might kinda apply to my younger brother. For like 8 years he was addicted to StarCraft 2. He got to the point where pros would sometimes practice against him to test out new strategies. But not because he was that good. He was really good, no doubt. (won some "amateur" tournaments) But the reason they wanted to practice against him was because of his unpredictable but effective tactics. :P

[@DarkSyster]

I enjoyed this one. For the algorithm.

[@swardinc]
