I remember as a kid, watching a news broadcast about a woman in a VW bug who was involved in an accident. When she came to on the side of the road, she began asking about her baby. People informed her that her baby was trapped under the car, and that police and firetrucks were on their way. She tried to get to her baby, but several of the men said no no no don’t! And tried to keep her away, she shoved them, three or four full grown men, out of the way, rushed to the car, lifted and rolled it to the side to get to her baby, who was just fine!

[@superfetus795]

"regardless of species" Yeah my first instinct when seeing even a little delivery robot get attacked was "HELP HIM" this is probably true. Wonder if caring for the young of any species or anything we ascribe those emotions to is because of our dependence on animals we've domesticated. Possibly not a common thing in the galaxy

[@slademmxii8759]

A combination of self preservation, empathy, attachment due to pack bonding, and our uncanny obsession with cute things, leads to us viewing anything weaker, smaller, or just pretty to look at, as something that must be defended. Just like how people will tie themselves to trees in the name of protection, we also will throw hands with God himself if a baby of any species is threatened with harm or death in our presence.

[@ninjag-o-g3150]

Humans babies are by far one of the most helpless infants on earth. Most animals can walk shortly after infancy. A human baby only has one survival instinct from the start and that is “make a noise summon help” because of this we are typically sympathetic to things that are cute and small

[@polkka7797]

40 years ago, my friend and I were camping in The Lake District, in England. We decided to take 'a shortcut' back to our campsite through an empty field. We did not see the bull. It charged. We both legged it towards a hedge and leapt over, into the adjoining field. That hedge was at least six feet high and four feet wide and we hardly grazed the top of it. We couldn't have done it again for a million pounds.

[@daleeasternbrat816]

Developing on a planet with cave lions, dire wolves, crocodiles and other incredible perdators and becoming the apex predator above even the most powerful and fierce of them probably has something to do with that. I watched a vid of a Mama Elephant Stomping a Crocodile to Death. You could hardly tell what it was when she was done. Harming the young of any species on Earth risks a gruesome and quick death. Some species will eat you afterwards. But not humans or elephants.

[@dotnet97]

yeah, it's a fun little thing, most mammals are instinctually able to recognize the young of even other species and know to be wary even though a defenseless baby would otherwise make for an easy meal since it often means that an aggressive mother is nearby.

[@Senok13]

Well, any creatures hailed from Earth has this quality on some degree - maybe the insectoid ones less, as they has enough kids, and they will be mostly drones, but any bird or mammal species, and even most of the reptiles do care of their youngs. And on Earth, there is no species, who has absolutely no predators, even if for some the said predator is also a prey species. Which also explains, why we doesn't back down so easily, when we are threatened...

If he had included how incarcerated criminals that had been harmed as juveniles sometimes kill their fellow criminals if they become aware of their past actions, and though not encouraged by their justice system, they do act as if it were foreseeable outcome, that would have also demonstrated the depth of the instinct.

[@Nempo13]

@@kingmasterlord This wasn't overboard at all. I have witnessed an 80lb waif woman lift the back half of an F-250 up so her child that was stuck under it could get out. By the time those of us nearby recognized what was going on and running over she dropped it down and collapsed. She cracked more than a few vertebrae and tore several of her muscles. I heard it took her almost a year to recover. Do not test a humans ability to ignore the body's self imposed restrictions to accomplish the impossible. It isn't just adrenaline, though that is a component of it. Our body has dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins that allow us to reach the peak of our restrictions. What lets you push past even that? When you are rushing to help another. Every time we see someone pushing past what should even be physically possible for them, it is ALWAYS when they are focused for another. Those able to access this for self survival are very rare, and this usually only happens when extreme anger is present. Humans are incredibly insane when it comes to what they can accomplish when they are protecting something. With guns being a thing this doesn't seem to help so much, but once you get into a melee? Oh it most certainly does.

Those of other species, get your copy of the encyclopedia on humans and their lives. In that set you will learn very little about what really pisses off humans. You will learn about their religions, what they will eat, what and why they wear certain clothing, their political structure, their history, wars, and a plethora of other seemingly interesting information. What you won't find, but must experience, is what happens to the one trying to hurt, or hurting, a child of any species. One you have seen what happens, you will then want to find a councelor so you can deal with the carnage you witnessed against the one who tried to hurt, or hurt, a child of any species. Then, make sure to hire a human to take care of your children!

There was a documentary about autism years ago i watched. It showed different people with different levels ofautism for a lack of a better description. One guy was able to remember every single word of every book he ever read and he could tell you if you asked him the page and the number of the word. He was the inspiration of the charcter "rain man" of the movie of the same name. But he wasn't able to put on his cloth by himself. There was also a young boy who was flown over a city in a helicopter that afterwards drew a foto like picture in detail of what he had seen. And there was a guy who seemed completely normal, but was able to learn fluent icelandic in less than a week. At the end the most fitting explanation was: people with that sort of autism seem to be able to use parts of the brain to store data, that we "normalos" use for different purposes. Hence their ability to do things we can't, and vice versa. And then there are people who have a "condition" i don't remember the name, but some of them can "see numbers and calculations" before their eyes like projections. They have an easy time calculating things we not just need pen and paper for but need time and effort.

[@RAPTOR948]

This is true. A woman who gives in to her maternal side is capable of becoming super-human in terms of strength. The most common example is that she'll suddenly become strong enough to lift a car off of her child for the purpose of saving them! Humans have this natural berserker state where we become vastly more capable in combat than our training in any field can press. Even a frail weakling can become an unstoppable torrent of murder and death, showing enemies in the viscera of their kin! Adults will protect their offspring to the death, and will be the greatest nightmare of all things if provoked! Humans are capable of great feats if for the sake of the children. Pedophiles however are the opposite. They are eternally weak and lack a berserker state, they are cowardly and prey on children. Their natural enemy is the parents. Parents can be seen as apex predators, protecting their kin. Despite the fact we are seen as omnivores by our general diets. If you were an alien species and you need someone to care for your younglings because your species is more or less considered frail, a human with parental instincts will be your greatest bet. Though with a lifespan of roughly 100 years we're not the longest-living of species. Remember the difference though in humans. Well developed humans will have some level of parental instincts, and become a nightmare for anyone who threatens the children! In pedophiles however, expect your children to become victims! A parent is the greatest threat to a pedophile, because the parent will not hesitate to murder a pedophile as if the child-raping scum had committed a war crime of the worst kind that could only be punishable by an on the spot field execution! Because parents view pedophiles as traitors to their entire species, the vast majority of humans despise the pedophile.

And that small woman then rushed in, grabbed that manhole, threw it away like it was made out of cardboard and jumped right into the hole to get the kid out. And I must remind you that such manholes are mostly made out of gray cast iron and are freaking heavy. I am a big guy and I am not sure if I could just grab one to lift it, especially that most dont even have a handle to grab on and are designed to be moved with a crowbar, not to mention to just yeet it away like it was nothing.

Thanks for the laughs! As usual, I added this to my finished audiobook file, for listening to again in the future. I also added it to my humor file, so I can listen when I am just in the mood for funny stories. I'd like to point out that though it's very funny, there is also a lot of truth to this. I never had kids because I never wanted my own, but I don't hate kids. A few times I have managed to quiet crying babies while out shopping by saying hi and other friendly things to them in a friendly voice. Having a stranger do that to them confuses them, so they stop crying while they try to figure it out.😄 On one occasion, I was grocery shopping and a very young boy hopped on in front of me on the electric shopping cart I was using. I took him for a short ride and then returned him to his mother. All 3 of us were happy that day. That happened almost 20 years ago, but it still amuses me, and still makes me happy. In spite of my choosing a childless life, and also, in spite of my health issues and disabilities, I would do whatever I could to protect endangered children from harm.

having evolved the way we did, we're held back by our own safety mechanisms. our bodies are capable of much more than they are capable of withstanding; and so we normally cant access that capability lest we damage ourselves (and what evolutionary line would let someone without highly tuned regenerative characteristics knowlingly harm themselves?). however, we also have chemicals in our bodies that allow us to turn off those safety mechanisms in times of danger. Being highly social, we have the ability to percieve danger to others in the same way we would danger to ourselves. if you cant feel pain, you cant tell you're going too hard, so you dont stop going. avoiding or removing the danger is worth whatever injury you get from the over exertion

I'd like to think if we ever meet aliens they'll look at us the way we see chimpanzees. Terrifyingly strong psychotic apes that can rip your face off and use your own arm to beat you to death; but kinda cute when they're happy.

He forgot to research that SHE is 10x more dangerous because when motherly instincts kicks in, there is no words/methods that can be used to reason with them.

I love this story so much, I’ve listened to it more than twice!

[@eunomiac]

Oh God I just discovered these videos. I'm gonna be here for a long, long while, aren't I?

[@ShadowDemon_4]

Yes, yes you are.

[@samsignorelli]

A rabbit hole? HAH! Try a black hole!

[@greenmarin3]

Humorous in a dark way. Plenty of chuckles. Thoroughly enjoyed it

[@Jedidiah_Martin_2]

3:34 Oh, no, friend.....you have an incredibly dangerous and nigh-unstoppable enemy *_AS_*_ your incredibly powerful ally._ ✊🏻

Mama bears have my deepest admiration, and my most fearful respect.

[@ShotJon]

I always knew why I made sure to not piss off the cleaning lady, whether school or my workplace. You don't mess wit the janitors.

[@gomezfriesen]

I was told by our doctor that my wife and I couldn't have children. 17 years later, after some health changes, my wife gave birth to my son. The pain and suffering I would, without question, inflict on anyone who would harm him, I'm sure would land me in multiple life sentences if it ever came down to it.

Paul Harvey (remember him?) had a story about a grandma watching her granddaughter play as she was peeling potatoes while sitting on the porch. A bear came out of the woods and grabbed the girl. Grandma jumped the bear and used her paring knife to carve out its heart.

[@jamesmbutler]

Thank-you for this!! I had to repeat a few parts - I was laughing too hard.

[@Ugapiku]

Children are the future...

[@metalheadmike3333]

I genuinely had tears in my eyes listening to this. Well done!

[@Mojo_3.14]

Them pirates should have known better than to piss off Mama bear by threatening her adopted cubs.

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

It takes 25 years to fully develop a human into an adult. All parents who aren't mentally depraved will have an instinct to protect such a precious investment of time and effort. Those parents that fail to provide proper support during the child's growth will not receive the support they will inevitably need in their elderly years. So yes, for the most part, our species is indeed wired to become emotionally invested in the welfare of all children within our environment.

[@bobyork6248]

it is the reason our species made it this far

[@The_Daily_Tomato]

That's not an average human, this is a Carol. And you do not fuck with a Carol 😅

[@MultiTimelady]

Mothers,no matter the species,are one the most deadly entities the universe can create.

[@ragnar97]

The "momma bear strength" and "father awareness" thing might be memes but that doesn't mean they aren't real.

[@thejuggernautofspades9453]

I can hit a lobbed projectile with a 2nd lobbed projectile, but cant read books the whole way

[@maxperry4978]

And at the same time we get "mothers" leaving their child alone for 10 days in a play pen unfortunately not all parents are like Kerri

[@diamondjim7560]

This sounds like the conversation Admiral Maxwell Forrest had with Ambassador Soval in the episode The Forge Part 1 S4E7. “Are Vulcans afraid of humans?”

[@gavindooly2375]

I can definitely say this is a reasonable reaction to threatening the lives of children.

[@online3010]

I'm a Dad. Easier for me to perish than kids get harmed. We evolved to look after our future.

[@mysticalblue2352]

Good on Kerri 😈

[@Lashrath]

It would have been a great ending if they questioned her why she did it and she just said "they attacked the children what MONSTER does that" - still holding a torn out limb and a fistful of guts in her hands in an obliterated room bathed in the pirates blood.
