An HFY Story : Humans are Hungry & The Humans have become our buffer state | 2440~ Deathworld, War

[@RevokFarthis]

The Nature of Predators: "We don't eat people!" The rest of HFY: "Oooh, simmered in a butter reduction you say?"

[@rewater]

There are better humans to make diplomats out of... you know that techno-sphere that want EVERY part of their life to be electronical? One, they won't run out of rations as flippantly and two they view death less favorably. Although most humans can act extremely cordial under stupid urges and won't make a fool of themselves such as in the story.

[@pheonixblue01]

There’s a story called Cute and Cuddly about space crabs attacking baby space otters. The human teenagers took offense and their parents ships brought the butter.

[@Kualinar]

@@pheonixblue01 And they found that those slaver crabs where absolutely delicious... Especially with some butter and garlic.

[@Norbrookc]

Story 1: Not only are we dragons, I can see that humans would probably protect the heck out of a race that can produce butter and cheese. So many tasty aliens, so little butter...

[@vonkug]

I'm sure there's some bovine-adjacent xeno that can provide.

[@artyd42]

So humans are space dragons... not entirely unfounded.

[@elaniarkady7351]

I like that we're dragons. For the squirrel!

[@merlinathrawes746]

Given they taste like shrimp, wouldn't cocktail sauce be a better choice than ketchup? Don't mess with the Poles. They've gotten pretty tired of being kicked around and will kick back.

[@sysbofh]

No, no. Fried with garlic! Now I'm hungry.

[@duanesamuelson2256]

The kicking around was in the 20th century and not common before or after. Poland spent centuries in intermittent war and on multiple occasions was a significant threat to Russia.

[@markfergerson2145]

Shrimp is good in many ways. Besides, cocktail sauce is fairly close to ketchup, and if that’s all you have available it’s close enough. The line is stolen from the Dungeons and Dragons community: “ Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup” And yeah, Poland is not to be trifled with either particularly these days with Russia in the third year of its planned three-day conquest of Ukraine and talking smack about Poland (and Latvia, Lithuania and a few others in the region).

[@deathpyre42]

True, one of the major reasons Haiti gained its independence is that the Polish mercenaries the French hired turned on them.

[@michaellewis3226]

Tartar sauce would be a good choice as well.

[@theshadyprotector8412]

To quote Habitual Linecrosser, "Little European Texas is a speed bump, with teeth."

[@stefanstefanowski5505]

Poland mentioned! Let's gooo!

[@vonkug]

Nobody's gonna fuck with Space Poland, though would their Hussars still have wings if they aren't in atmo?

[@szymonanonim7214]

Yes. Their spaceship would have wing like moss farms outside

[@JohnDoe-yu4je]

Yes, as the Hussars were Calvary and used wings as part of their uniform.

[@scp2539]

most things are good with ketchup, it helps hide the taste of what you're eating.

[@Inufan2005]

Can confirm: Am Hungry.

[@Atemnûra_KrünZorûk4.5]

Not human but can concur: I hunger for more

[@HummelJaeger]

That rings a bell. The final line of the first story was a meme about 30 years ago, IIRC. I used to see in the Tolkein usenet groups something similar to "Do not anger a dragon, for you are crunchy and tasty with ketchup." It probably has an origin far further back.

[@AndreasNicklasson]

It appears to have grown out of a Tolkien quote from The Fellowship of the Ring, "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." By 1989, this version of the quote was found on usenet, "Do Not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for you are crunchy and go well with catsup". Wouldn't be much of leap from there to dragons.

I'll take the first story in the spirit it was presented...tongue in cheek. (OTOH, I would hope that Human Culture would _not_ devolve to the point that dining on sapients was considered, OK.)

[@vicenteabalosdominguez5257]

I have no doubt in my mind that some modern cultures would have no problem with eating non-human sapients.

A small subset of humans even eat other humans. I wonder if Culinary Sociology accidentally tailored their recruiting to those individuals.

Perfect follow-up for the first of these: Humans Are Omnivores (it's even a 2-parter so you can do an entire vid on it).

Not our fault those xenos are so delicious. They dont want to be eaten, then they better figure out how to make themselves taste bad.

Coz they are tasty. Besides its not like she killed that alien. Also eating other humans is only bad because of kuru if we found some tasty aliens (that ware not sexy enough to y know) we would definitely eat them.

[@asahearts1]

Gdańsk seems like kind of a strange example to use for this sort of thing if you really look into the history, especially the things the people did in the leadup to fighting the... Germans. But I suppose every country has at least a few battles they see through rose tinted glasses for the sake of national spirit.

[@dalemorgan8263]

Stop eating people. 'S rude.

[@xxXXRAPXXxx]

Maybe they want to be eaten? (hilariously enough there was a german that wanted to be eaten and found a cannibal but if i remember correctly you cannot consent to being eaten so the cannibal still got jailed i think). Anyway i rather be rude than hungry.

[@TheForbiddenHeaven]

Great narration but i did not like that first story.

[@Maeshalanadae]

We don’t eat sapient creatures.

[@darthragnarok1066]

correction, You don't eat sapient creatures... I would absolutely be willing to try it at least once.

[@RevokFarthis]

Oh, yes we absolutely do. Don't let Nature of Predators lie to you, they don't know what they're talking about. See, "Sentience" is simply the capacity to feel, to be aware. Most complex organisms are sentient. "Sapience" is the capacity for wisdom. The ability to learn over time, and the ability to apply that knowledge. Dogs, cats, elephants, whales, dolphins, parrots, octopi, etc, if it can learn it's sapient. (And you try saying we don't eat anything on that list) "Sophonce" is the capacity to reason. It is the definition of human level, or greater, intelligence. We don't eat _sophont_ creatures, (unless you count occasional cannibalism...) but I'm willing to bet that is mostly because we just haven't encountered any yet.

[@monkeyboimehoimenoi8395]

I don't really care either way, But people routinely eat octopus which depending on who ask are actually smart enough to be considered sapient. Like I said idc Either way but you should at least know that. people also routinely eat apes, gorillas and monkeys which again depending on what scientists you ask is also considered to be intelligent enough to be considered sapient. Pretty much anything and everything that can potentially be eaten can and will be eaten by someone brave enough.

[@satibel]

​@@RevokFarthisif they're dead they're not thinking, so they're fair game. Their first mistake was dying, their second being edible and tasty. In quite a few cultures a mother eating the placenta is common. Also in a few eating the dead is common, either eating a wise grandfather or an enemy who fought well to gain their wisdom or strength. Though eating human regularly isn't great for your health as it can cause quite a few diseases (e.g. prion disease)
