I nearly chocked on my soda when he said that caffeine was toxic to almost all species. Then I began to wonder if my carbonated and caffeinated sugary beverage would be considered a biological WMD in this universe. 🤣

[@GrigoriZhukov]

Yes, it is also toxic to many animals on earth. Thus our 12 on the rating scale.

[@robertwhitehead8671HMCS]

In almost every story of a Sci fi style depicts caffeine as a drug and Adrenaline and a military wepon nomaly getting shocked to learn our bodys produce it naturally

[@Nobodyisperfect-us6pk]

Many of these secondary compounts, produced by the secondary metabolism of plants, fungis, bacteria.g., are involved in communication between as example plants or produced, to kill your neighbour, so they can grow there instead, or to repell or kill these, wo try to eat them. Alkaloids like Caffeine, Nicotine, Cokaine, Atropine, Ephedrine e.g. are all produced to repell these, who want to eat them. Humans are able to consume these in low amounts, in very high amount, these will still kill us. 6 belladonna cherries and an adult will get in trouble (Atropine). And there are more than enough secondary compounts, produced by plants, which will kill a human very fast, also these are regular used as drugs/medicine, opioids, used as chemotherapeutica (Taxol/Paclitaxel). And just think of all of the antibiotics, regular produced by bacteria (and few by fungi). Also these are secondary compounds.

[@katesmiles4208]

A great story. Great humour. I too love the idea of a planet out there that smells like coffee and chocolate.

[@duduplays7023]

A barista’s heaven

[@ehsnils]

Finland - the country with the highest consumption of coffee per capita. Switzerland - the country with the highest consumption of chocolate per capita. Mexico - the country producing the Habanero. Denmark - The country with the lowest amount of lactose intolerance. So yes - Earth is a death world to aliens.

[@DaveTucker-ip3pg]

I love stories from this universe

[@CDWCAULDRON]

The head me at a planet of Coffee and chocolate.

[@Aellae0122]

Same it's funny as hell😂

@WRickWrites-qy8pq Now has his own KZbin channel with many other amazing stories. Please support his channel and check out his other stories & make sure to subscribe here: www.youtube.com/@WRickWrites-qy8pq

[@onthecouch4498]

I really enjoy @WRickWrites-qy8pq stories. They never disappoint. I even subscribed to his channel as soon as it was up. However one of the big reasons I like your channel above others is not just the stories but the AI voices you use to tell the stories. I don’t like the voice he uses to narrate the stories on his channel so it’s made them hard to listen to on his channel. I hope he will consider changing the AI narration voice on his channel. It in my opinion it may help make the stories more enjoyable for the listeners to listen to.

[@invarietateconcordia1988]

And thats how rumors started spreading across the galaxy, that half-sleeping humans can turn into vampires... Great story from the Amiya-verse! I really appreciate how WRickWrites brings the science into these (scifi)stories, that makes it much more interesting than any ordinary space battle.

[@No_Fun_Allowed]

the stories from the deadly deadly humans universe are easily my favorite, the author keeps the cast small so the stories are easy to fallow and comprehend

[@KennethMulmat]

So true. Stay healthy.

[@KennethMulmat]

This rates at the top of my humor list to see over - one of the top five SF tales on KZbin.

[@pauldwalker]

this is a great addition to the lore of this universe.

[@cosmicbananas8084]

liking u/rRickwrites. honestly even these ai voices, make his stories a whole lot more enjoyable, without it its one of those stories where it dosen't click for me. noticing that the ai image generator you use, loves big ol circles of people standing around. also aliens that are either unimaginative, or humans with small added feature. this is one of the few times i actually like ai images, outside of just screwing around and deleting. been enjoying this channel.

[@Kokuyous3ki]

Very much so was looking forward to hearing from this universe again. Cannot be overstated how much continuity matters.

[@SenneWMichiels]

Always good to hear more Amia analysis.

[@SovietReunionYT]

I like all the Amia universe stories but this is among the best so far.

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Great story! I got a flash-back to Casablanca...“I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” LOL!!!

[@13tucker45]

Enjoyed this while eating breakfast... bacon and egg sammich with jalapeño on it, and a cup of coffee... fits with the story pretty well

[@GenStallion]

You can't go wrong with a good marinade.

[@Questor-ky2fv]

Thanks for the story! It got me smiling and chuckling.

[@davidorf3921]

These stories are such fun

[@ekhidna4]

I love this universe and these birbs.

[@Darthjacob-xg9sm]

Hey there it's darthjacob. Just seeing how you are doing?

[@bonjower]

Good ole WRick putting the "sci" back into "sci-fi"

[@kevinlytle6215]

Very well done! I hope you develop this into a small series or something. I like the subtle humor and the change from alien bad human superhero thing.

[@nesapanjalingam704]

A good one- very wry & funny 😄 Thank u 🤗

[@NomenNescio99]

This was a very entertaining story, much appreciated!

[@lcsd863]

I say a slogan once that said “ Save the earth, it’s the only planet with chocolate.” This story gives me hope that it is wrong.

[@travelingscienceman4404]

For the Amia Science Consortium!

[@scifistories1977]

Wow, thank you again. You're being very generous, and I very much appreciate it.

[@travelingscienceman4404]

@@scifistories1977 I just want to support you and the authors! I know this is all done as a labor of love, BUT I do know money helps as well! First HFY/scifi channel I picked (used to read HFY on reddit a lot in the past) and it has turned out to be the best! I am also enjoying your sister channel!

[@davidsmith6001]

I want to book a trip to this planet of chocolate and coffee. I could die at peace.

[@StevenLubick]

Yes on Chocolate 🍫🍫

[@ironman000elas]

A planet that's extremely poisonous to other creatures "exists" Humans: the poisons are coffee and chocolate Willy Wonka: oompa lumpa dupity doo we build a factory on you

[@rangav248]

I need a sequel where they're shown an episode of Iron Chef and the aliens basically see it as torture porn

[@DavidDavidunderthebridgeChampi]

I really enjoyed this. THey did not talk about government but food. Just look at how many food shows are on KZbin, etc.

[@peteradvisers2684]

Ah yes, the good old “gimme the plant” thing. Top tier diplomacy.

[@TheSolidSnakeOil]

I pity the poor bastard that just quit coffee and was assigned to work with a Yuen.

[@lab6068]

Fun story thnxs for the smiles, keep going.

[@dr.ryttmastarecctm6595]

Interesting tidbit from Organic Chemistry. The chemical structure of Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) and the the primary active ingredient in Chocolate, _Theophylline,_ (C7H8N4O2) differ by one molecule of Carbon and two Hydrogen.

[@RustyEcks]

Loving it!

[@JoaoSoares-rs6ec]

just an issue there, tere would be animal life that had no reaction to the poison, a small number but there would be, even a small resistance to it, it would be impossible for all species to be simple wiped out.

[@st_chez]

These bugs need some liberating 🎉🎉🎉

[@graldrouse4194]

really liked this story nice story line no vocabulary anomaly's that A I s have in them just a great story

[@ALEXANDER1318]

Remember; it took at least 30 million years after the first trees evolved for something else to evolve a way to destroy wood cells. This is why coal is always found in layers deposited about 300 million years ago; it is the fossilized remains of 30 million years of fallen trees that never rotted or decomposed because they couldn't. So the story of the Yuenkei is not so unbelievable.

[@howardmallisonii503]

Nothing like 2 species having an argument: "My chef is better than your chef!"

[@arnandias8742]

Coffy grounds I get it

[@darrelleaf]

3 sugars no milk please

[@rudikeunen4327]

I love this 'universe'. In some way it feels very familiar. Further I like your style of writing. Keep them coming! PS The Amia rock 🎉🎉

[@ratzelbarreto2070]

Am not hige fan of both caffee and chocolate but i be damn, i would travel to a planet of caffee and chocolate asap.

[@nevyngould1744]

Great story, but I'm interested more in their biology, one single individual made it to the mainland and from it descended all the separate species of animal life. One. Not a pair, one. Was it pregnant, did it's progeny mate with each other or the parent, do they clone or bud or use some other form of parthenogenesis? how does this work?

[@jdtheone]

Quick someone call a chef ( omg not absolutely not Gordon Ramsey)🤣🤣🤣

[@frostbite0707]

Sooo, Mocha Mantis?

[@qbiningelsson717]

I wonder how does 1 become dominant specie 🤔

[@MarcZachman]

1

[@simonberg6505Tar.]

And cup of coffee👍🤪👍
