Best HFY Reddit Stories: How Did They Make It To Space?

[@YDV669]

Humans should henceforth be only ever called, "small, stubborn, angry monkeys on a tectonically unstable, irradiated ball of dirt".

Humanity: "Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have f**ked with? That's me!"

[@yamatoclassbattlecruiser6410]

That which doesn't kill you has made a tactical error

[@leechowning2712]

You notice the race most well-known for accidentally dissecting people they come across wants nothing to do with provoking the humans? The fact that the rest of the galactic community doesn't know exactly what happened doesn't change the fact that they don't have to.

So 5 near extinction events leading up to the creation of a new species that had death wails powerful enough to put another species near extinction. Stronger latent psychic abilities and most likely God like strength. Now all that is needed is greater technology.

at that point they may as well bent over and beg for it gently cuz no species in that universe is gonna be safe from them if they go murderous

The first 2 we thought were natural, earthquakes and the consequences, and viruses. (3rd) Animals mutating just for killing us, wierd. (4th) Psychic attack, that definitely is not natural. (5th) The attempted attack of Earth and Mars.

[@Vsm426]

I agree!

[@revampedharpy09]

yeah to be fair i feel like any species that went through that would likely be extremely xenophobic (and to be honest, justifiably so, if every single encounter you have with aliens results in them trying to kill you without provocation, youre eventually gonna assume that thats just inherantly what aliens are like, and react accordingly.

[@ndrgaming7344]

Whenever I read any of these stories and it ends with humans just kinda accepting their circumstances I always remind myself that that is one of two scenarios Of course, the other is humans absolutely wiping out the offending species
