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.

I saw a man come out of of fridge, dance, and sing. I control characters that fight demons, monsters, and dragons. I live in a country that has a cave full of dairy products known as the cave of cheese with a military that used bats for bombs. I am a living biome for millions of nightmarish creatures that I can't live without. I'm mostly empty space. I'm typing on a piece of melted sand over some silicon with metal jammed into it and lightning running through it. What part sounds insane?

It's why you do not use neural interface, that can upload information into your brain. Aliens disregarded basic rules of IT security - all unsafe data should be read only.

[@mechadrake]

exploits for the brain enviroment are the scariest

[@Eboreg2]

That whole thing of inventing FTL communication to prevent lag reminds of a story I'm writing that involves aliens setting up multiple FTL network nodes around Earth in preparation for first contact and end up accidentally improving Australia's internet so much that it threatens to give away the secret.

[@benjamintherogue2421]

The Therian interrogator encountered the monsters lurking in the darkest corners of the human’s imagination and met Freddy Kruger

[@sweetsleeperagent]

This story was a slow burn but absolutely worth it. The moment the 'prisoner' mentioned that the Therians were limited by the speed of light, I started hollering for this mad lad! Same thing when he mentioned the time difference. It was 12 Therian years but 46 human years... That is a 3.83 multiplication rate. Also loved how the human quickly refutes the notion of 'noble' aliens. Sure, humans are monsters, but they acknowledge that. Therians consider themselves superior, but also decided to commit genocide on a species that met 18*3.83= 68.94 hours later. Hope they get what is coming to them.

[@Kareszkoma]

Of course FTL communication was invented to reduce lag.

[@burnerheinz]

considdering that paired particles used for quantum computing seem to react to each other at the same time regardless of the distance between them wouldn't be too hard to use that as a lagfree datalink.

[@Kareszkoma]

@@burnerheinz Ye. Or a network of such things. Sounds a bit too good to be true. Even light takes seconds to travel to other planets.

[@burnerheinz]

@@Kareszkoma which is why we are now questioning whether or not FTL is actually physically possible because there has to be someway those particles communicate, right?

[@Kareszkoma]

​@@burnerheinz True. That's where the warp and hyper space theories come from. But that's even a more complicated matter. Not understanding it perfectly, but if things taken apart, space, is a construct of things, that are only for us. It's just dimensions, layers having a cross-cut at many joining places, creating attributes that make up the foundation of our world. Like how colors are, or how if electrons are cut than they are radiation. Many things that make travelling, is just a curve in space, created by gravitation. Which is created by other values having that crosses, making up matter. But if you take those things apart, it just becomes like a 1D dimension, a layer, not like a pipe in which you can travel. Those matters can be using this to communicate, both using the same thing as foundation for their behavior, which is good for communication, but no necessarily for travel.

[@109Rage]

@@Kareszkoma It probably is too good to be true. Iirc, we can't seem to coerce entangled particles to be observed a certain way, so it doesn't appear that we can actually send a message thru this method.

[@michaelyoung7261]

Ah, there’s the punchline. We achieved ftl communication because entertainment

The Thermians then encountered the wildlife of Terra and a few captured humans actually felt the torture was the equivalent of “getting kinky!”

[@nirmiak9906]

The human mind is one of the most peaceful and terrifying things at the same time, when a system where whatever a human can think of becomes reality, you have a race that none can stop

[@markuhler2664]

There is nothing anyone, human or alien, could take into my mind that is worse than what I've imagined. I do think I would enjoy a game of who would scream first.

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

First thing is first. Misery loves company so share all you can with them. That would be a fun game of chicken to see who breaks first. One of the well known human ways to play a game where the results are. . . everybody loses.

[@ianharrison5758]

Yeah if an alien wants to try to link brains with me or some other fucky mind shit, I’ll just let them. I got a list of mental illnesses longer than a CVS receipt, and my nervous system operates like I’m always being hunted for sport. Not to flex or anything but you could make a great shoenen anime with my childhood and teen years as the MCs backstory and the main complaint would be that it the backstory is too dark and feels forced. If they wanna experience that and whatever else my failing malfunctioning flesh mech is dealing with then all I can say is good luck

[@bethanysmith5856]

I once had the creepiest dream back in high school. So if need be I can dig up some very very dark things if something was to dig into my mind

"Swore only intended for mining." Sounds to me like, if you heat up a projetile in space enough, to make it start to melt, it'll just pancake against real armor and not do much at all save burn the paint.

[@TheDurid1]

Why do I get the impression that these aliens are very stuck up and isolated, and can't really deal with reality outside of themselves.

[@catdust]

i know right? they sound really stupid. engineers can't watch their machines in action, declaring war on a race that "THRIVES" in war, making their torturer go back into the mind of a prisoner that they had to be ejected from just the other day. and that thing about never initiating contact with other species first.

[@deathshot11z55]

Because they are. They call themselves pacifists yet have massive armies that are full of robots. They’re just cushy and automated all the dirty jobs.

glad you enjoyed

[@kimudo]

I hate to say it, but I do love the fall of the oppressor type stories... especially the ones with an assured win that crumbles to dust from a weak, inferior, foe. There's just something cathartic about the victim being able to calmly sit there and explain just how wrong they are... how peace wasn't just an option, but the intended.... the hoped for... outcome. That through nothing more than callous hubris, the oppressor has dedicated itself to destruction. Ahhhhh..... I do loves me some god-mode vr.

[@dranorcat44]

one of my favs if i'm to be honest

[@Cadiangrunt99]

These aliens are going to get some serious humble pie.

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

This tale takes me back to an old story called The Blood Red Game written by Michael Moorcock, although that part was only a relatively small episode in the novel's longer story-line. At one point in the longer story, Humanity has to leave not just our world, nor even our galaxy, but our entire reality since it's collapsing into nothingness. They arrive in a new reality very similar to ours but the dominant species there decides on a unique style of war with Humanity for control of all of that reality. They conduct the war as a techno-psychological war-game where the rules aren't really clear (but it's hinted that the idea is to drive as many of the other side's players insane as you can through mental imagery). The most effective alien attack is accompanied by the mental impression of a blood red shade over everything, hence the name. Humanity nearly loses but at the last moment comes up with imagery which the aliens find so unnerving that Humanity quickly wins the game. (Yes, the remaining aliens do concede defeat. They don't seem to even have the concepts of trying again or of betrayal. They lost; the humans won; there's nothing else that matters; the matter is permanently ended.)

I once had an extremely odd feverish headache. It was nothing I ever experienced. I felt like my brain was being overloaded with activity as if someone forcing information in my head. The pain comes in waves as I was stuck in a cycle of fainting in pain, dreaming bizarre nightmare, waking up in extreme pain, try to endure the pain like a person with something in their head, fell asleep, bizarre nightmare, and waking up in pain. I can't remember what was the dream as I immediately tried my hardest to endure the agony. It continues for 2 days. And then I was back to normal.
