You got Florida pretty much spot on and we appreciate that any alien species that lands here is in trouble especially if it looks like a crab or a lobster.

[@patchbunny]

There's a Vincent Price story collection movie where there's a room full of monsters and a human, and the monsters are about to kill the human when Vincent steps in and goes on a long list of all the horrifying things humans do to each other. One of the monsters says, "Please forgive us, we had no idea you were so talented!" and welcomes the human to the monster club.

[@GrigoriZhukov]

Truly a great honor.

[@RayRatchford]

"The Monster Club" is a great little movie, and superbly cast. Vincent going through the various kinds of monster, what they do, and where they fit into the monster's class system, is an absolute joy to see.

It's nice to hear a slightly longer brief mention of Australia, but just for reference, salt water crocodiles make alligators look like geckos.

[@roberthodge2771]

And they bite like a Pit Bull compared to a Corgi.

[@fredmaxwell9619]

Not if you are a squishy. :)

[@GrigoriZhukov]

And they are so cute. Makes you just want too boop their snoot. 😅 But maybe to just toss them a side of beef, while enjoying some good beer. If they still have any. Love me a good pint of nice stout as strong as a nice Amontialldo. 😉😁

[@GrigoriZhukov]

​@@roberthodge2771oh they are the biggest snuggle bugs.

[@Chaos4Eva1]

Go Florida!!! Yeah! 😂😂😂

[@dragonlord498]

One suggestion is I think the aliens seemed to aware of what the human was talking about such as when references various animals and such

[@darrellwiley4288]

Damn! When you put it like that, we are crazy

[@okmaster100]

there is only one thing missing from this story... the MC had no 'hold my beer' moment!!!

[@BlackBeastsofIpswich]

As an Australian I can say you don't mess with Dropbears...

[@akuladoctor7355]

I remember a video about the 10 most dangerous plants, and like half of them were in Australia. Yep in that place even plants trying to kill you.

[@leafabeam]

Fun story. Couple notes though. There's a few parts that are inconsistent and repetitive and overall it runs on longer than it should with some platitudes. Fix those issues and it'd be a great short story

[@Mark-n6z5j]

Nice

[@DarrochJohnson]

In stories like this you should include some Darwin Awards😊

[@jakeand9020]

Just the fact we HAVE the Darwin awards would terrify any rational xeno.

[@williamwells3026]

Capt Crunch has nothing on Grapenuts. My mom would soak Grapenuts for at least half an hour before eating them.

[@vanevanhaagen4011]

Holy shit, an actual Human reading a story.

[@raymondhorvath2406]

Aussie rules yes it's our biggest sport here in Australia especially Melbourne

[@jeremypurdy1833]

As a natural born and raised Floridian... TRUEEEEEEEE. Fucking... TRUEEEEEEE.

[@thomaskinney9081]

Calling us water balloons was enough for me I like the ones where humans are actually tough otherwise no point calling earth a death world right

[@raymondhorvath2406]

The reason why us Aussies don't have a big population is most don't make it to adulthood.

[@chrissherlock1748]

Gawd Australia isn’t dangerous. Just check your shoes, don’t drive through water in a flood and listen to bushfire warnings - leave when they say, swim between the flags so you don’t get caught in a rip and if in the NT don’t swim in the rivers so crocs don’t catch you, you’ll be fine.

[@macmcleod1188]

He didn't even mention the Australian plants. Including that tree that makes you want to kill yourself.

[@anomalec9466]

Wait wait wait, could you please explain this one? I've never heard of a suicide tree before

[@macmcleod1188]

"You're making this up" Nope. We got it on video.

[@emilynelson5646]

You need to proofread the captions. They don't match the spoken words. The pictures are pleasant and appropriate..

You forget derechos!

Koalas

[@Alice-ng2po]

What the heck are drop bears?

[@yahdahayasharahla4402]

That's not funny bro. Drop bears are no joke there are spiders that use their web like balloons, when they are mature and heavy they drop, get it now, they are fuzzy yes.

[@yahdahayasharahla4402]

And they are poisonous.

[@ronindraco4194]

Koalas

[@williamjacob885]

Supposedly, it's a koala with a bad attitude that drops out of a eucalyptus tree and attacks you. It's kinda like a jackalope, a mythical but believable critter, considering koalas aren't really bears.

[@McSenkel]

It's koala's rabid cousin. From afar they look identical. That is until they drop on your noggin and start to munch on your nose.
