This Story is Classified as HFY , 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.
-------------
Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
This is also a Science Fiction story ,What is Science Fiction?
-------------
Science fiction (sometimes shortened o sci-fi or SF) is a genre of speculative fiction that typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. It has been called the "literature of ideas", and often explores the potential consequences of scientific, social, and technological innovations.
Science fiction, whose roots go back to ancient times, is related to fantasy, horror, and superhero fiction, and contains many subgenres. However its exact definition has long been disputed among authors, critics, and scholars.

What he doesn’t realize it seems is that humans are individual because we each have unique dna. But that doesn’t mean we don’t also utilize other species in a colony like fashion.

[@aj_the_infamous1013]

Oh and don't forget about the specialization of cells and mutations that can occur.... (wait till they learn of cancer)

[@Crazylom]

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

@@aj_the_infamous1013 hehehe.... i suspect when they discover that they change ther idea about how 'easy' it be to kill a human 'colony'.. and consider the risk that if a colony loses sapience it revert into a rapidly chancing blob that will consume anything it can 'hook' into ^^

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

@@Crazylom considering the sample sizes humans have of 'planet make ups' ...unless there is a lot of planet systems out there that goess agenst what the data suggests so far.... there likely be far more 'spots' for silica or other compounds based self replicating creatures to form then the Ra-3 Carbon and HO2 dependent ones... so ,why not ? right ? ^^

[@Heidao623]

They think we're mobile colonies of lifeforms, they're technically right but then they'd probably lump us in with the hive mind section of the galactic community. Though that would be funny if Borg-like aliens and actual hiveminds think so too

[@neosildrake]

Then the aliens come to the conclusion that each human is an unique hive mind. Now the aliens have to open diplomatic relations and decissions with each single one.

[@Ezghoul1]

​@neosildrake haha I had that same thought also

[@ashleycroydon9743]

Wait what....... did he just grow a micro city using the appendix 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👍👍

[@sammarino7357]

I think he grew a baby. So the man just didn’t know how to react when you give someone a child version of yourself

[@SiegeTF]

I thinkmthe odds are equal of either if his species can fend for themselves after being born.

i was looking forward to him cloning an old human dude and ended up making many of it it takes over the planet.... but the blob thing is fine he will get there sometime.

[@noppornwongrassamee8941]

Heh. If cloning a human was as easy as just culturing a random batch of cells, we would have done it already.

[@mcarrowtime7095]

My guy, we can clone humans, it’s just considered unethical. He likely just ended up growing a random bacteria mix

[@sherylcascadden4988]

I knew when he got the appendix he didn't know enough to clone it properly. It would probably be unethical to suggest he start with a fetus, as that has the built-in instructions for making a complete human, but he said he knew what he was doing and we took him at his word. They will learn eventually. I hope there are more stories in this setting to follow.

[@alganhar1]

The DNA is the blueprint, but it does NOT control the development of the Foetus, only what the end result SHOULD be. You see Mammalian foetal development is a specialised form of Phenotypic Plasticity often called ontological plasticity. So what is this? Phenotypic plasticity is defined as a non genetic change in an organisms phenotype in response to the environment. To further explain, non genetic means just that, it is a non genetic response. This can generally be defined as a change within an organisms lifetime as almost no genetic changes express in the individual that undergoes them unless it affects a trigger. The Phenotype is the organism AS A WHOLE. Not just the physiology but also its sociology and behaviour. Response to the environment could be anything, predator/prey interactions, inter or intra specific competition, or some direct environmental effect such as temperature, wave energy etc etc. This response can be reversible, or non reversible. Tanning in humans is a very good example of reversible phenotypic plasticity. The development of the foetus in the womb is controlled ENTIRELY by the chemical balance of the womb, it is dependant on the presence or lack thereof of certain hormones, their levels and so on. This is why certain drugs, habits like smoking, and some pollutants can cause serious birth defects. In other words, even starting with a viable foetus the cloner would have to absolutely understand the required chemical, temperature and nutrient regime in the womb at every stage in order to successfully grow that foetus into a living child. Something we do not yet understand which is the very reason WHY we use surrogate mothers for cloning experiments. So no, you are in fact wrong. The foetus does not have the inbuilt instructions for making a complete human baby, the WOMB does. EDIT: Hell, there is even extremely strong evidence, very convincing evidence, that the developing foetus listens to the sounds around it, including the mothers heartbeat and her voice. Which means those may well be important facets in the development in and of themselves (though this is less clear to my knowledge). What is known is that a baby knows the sound of its mothers voice before he or she is even born.....

[@chrissieadams1578]

It is a good story, one which could be expanded, to make a longer version.

[@AgroSquerril]

Annnnnd this is how 'The Thing' was born.

[@HexenkoeniginVonAngmar]

07:09 That's not entirely true. Destilled water can be dangerous to consume in larger quantities since it sucks all important minerals towards itself (kinda like the opposite of salt water which sucks the water out). If I remember that wrong, feel free to correct me. In the water we consume there's always some amount of minerals.

[@TheMonkey747]

And bacteria, iron oxide bacteria is everywhere and quite harmless. It might even be beneficial in some capacity. More Iron means stronger blood, to a point. Edit punctuation.

[@biohazardousBiker]

@hex, correct that process is called osmosis.

[@Speed001]

You are correct, pure H2O will absorb bits of its surroundings. "Universal Solvent" is more than just a name.

[@briancatoni7000]

Just wait until he finds out about babies

[@SiegeTF]

He mightve made one without realizing it. Humans (and I suppose predators in general now that I think about it) are one of a very small number of creatures who can't fend for themselves after being born.

[@briancatoni7000]

@@SiegeTF well now I'm imagining the poor guy who handed off an organ and got back in infant, would it be their genetic child or clone? Regardless it's probably not how he expected things to go when he got up that day

Inside, outside, inbetween, low, midle, high, front, back, side, top, below. And then we arrive at the r34 side of the list. In another being, "in" another being, on another being, through another being (both the "fun" and not fun way), another being in the tentacle. Repeat the list for number of beings in every configuration you might tink of or wonder about. Should cover about what you are wondering about. You might also think tentacles are not wrong, in that case the list may become a checklist.

Fun story. Trying to figure out if the pseudo-facts it cited were intentional or if the author did what we all do: take for granted what we were taught is accurate. The appendix when from being a vestigial organ to something we're slowly starting to comprehend during my lifetime. ;)

How many times would this guy facepalm when he sufficiently learns human physiology and realizes he didn't grow a human from an appendix, but actually just a blob of microbes and bacteria. Though if he did manage to create a baby out of it, human scientists would probably be all over it.

Going by the dialogue, the typical alien is a single celled being, but grown to a macro-scale that humans can see and interact with without needing tools. This is why the aliens think of humans as collections of microscale lifeforms.

[@pandablair4226]

The non human cells to human cells is wrong. There are more bacteria but it’s not that extreme in numbers. A 2016 study at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel found that our total cell count is 56 per cent bacteria (compared with earlier estimates of 90 per cent). do your research before writing a story my friend.
