What's Death Valley

[@C.D.V.92]

air kills you. water kills you. ground kills you. light kills you. darkness kills you. if the devil appears in australia, i give him 5 mins before he either flee or beg god for forgiveness 😂

[@crsed]

Nah y'all are more than that. American SE is 15 and thats without the crap you have there. Y'all are a 20.

IT's pretty bad when Earth is the Australia of the known galaxy. XD

Or good, depends on who you ask

[@peterlaursen5722]

I too want to live in the bliss of not knowing Australia exist

[@kacpermalina308]

The plant ther are poisonus. The spiders gigant compered to all others. And lastly war with ostriches, not goes great.

[@ehsnils]

Not everything in Australia is deadly - but it wish to kill you anyway.

[@overencumbered1852]

😂

[@thomasmolloy5447]

Sounds like something an Australian would say 😉

[@entelechy00]

It is not the fact that the plants and animals of Australia could kill you, but that there is venoms designed to make you want to kill yourself.

[@Natsumidragneelkim]

Australia is God's testing ground of what don't kill you makes you stronger

[@Qardo]

Well, tell that to the Tasmanian Wolf. Humanity killed that one off. It was not strong enough to challenge humanity. Yet, a stupid flightless bird won a damn war against humanity. Find that logic.

[@BurakkuHishou]

A class 8-10 deathworld sounds like a vacation, with cute cats to pet as well. A class 3-7 world would probably be paradise. A class 1-2 is probably gonna be heaven.

[@alexandramilos392]

I'm imagining anything from 1-8 to be boring as hell, like a Mars-like sort of wasteland place but liveable and with no extreme winds.

[@karhedin]

@@alexandramilos392 You seem to not know what a deathworld is. we have one in our solar system, it's called Venus, there are no way we can survive there, it is a world that is the pinacle of death for us and if set on a human scale it would be a class 1 deathworld until we found another more hostile world to dethrone it from it's first place.

[@TheSleeplyone]

He forgot that the highly populated California area has the four seasons of Earthquake, Flood, Landslide, and Fire, and not always in that order.

[@KiraSlith]

For a while there the valley only got summer and winter weather, hot all day or cold all day with a brief burst of spring or fall in between.

[@CorePathway]

Lesser populated Minnesota has 2 seasons: Winter and Road Construction 😂

[@doubt3430]

Meanwhile illinois has 125 difference between temperatures Storms Damaging winds Fuck ton of tornadoes Occasional wildfires And apparently that fault line is active again

[@mikewaterfield3599]

These xenos could not conquer a pleasure world in the Imperium.

[@aocg1914]

Arent those like heavily defended too?..

[@mikewaterfield3599]

@@aocg1914 depends on who’s scale we are using. IP does not scale well from one to another. Case in point, John 117 near single handedly destroyed the Covenant. One Spartan II super soldier. Yet I doubt the UNSC could take the Tau Empire. By 40k standards “pleasure worlds” are lightly guarded. However in the grim darkness (pre GW WOKE politics) there are ecumenopoli as planet wide military installations (fortress worlds). So all things being equal. To a people who consider Australia a death world…… they would not manage against an imperial “paradise world”.

[@titanius5134]

And the xenos or the chaos can't go to Catachan, only the imperium

[@lordhades8025]

If Australia is not covered in spiders, it is flooded or burning. Those are the only three constants of the country and it just alternates at different points in the year.

[@saltygenx2743]

And the reason I'm there is the spiders.

[@SandraNelson063]

Erm.....Snakes?...Lots and LOTS of utterly MAD venomous snakes? Death Noodles!

[@Mojo_3.14]

To be fair when I first saw the fire tornadoes in Australia on the internet I had difficultly believing they were real too.

[@namewithheld8115]

Yeah, but you need a fully mature Kangaroo before they capable of causing fire tornadoes as a self defence mechanism.

could definitely put a swing state on deathworlds, Like, "Certain areas are much more dangerous than others."

Motherfucker you got me, lmao

[@wesleyward5901]

You really gotta differentiate who's talking. I have no clue when one person stops talking and another begins.

[@mikehenry7056]

I've heard a much better reading of the same story - I think it was Agro Squerril

[@eveakane6563]

​@@mikehenry7056 do you have a link? Agro Squirrel uses different titles for his videos.

[@letsplaysvonaja1714]

I especially like how the subtitles have no punctuation and don't even cut between sentences

[@blooddragon4975]

I’m from Florida so I can attest that we are that stubborn and would do it just to spite nature

[@ScorpiusZA.]

Yup Australia is real - but TBH, i hadn't heard of that spider and now that i had, i kinda wish i hadnt.

[@MCNarret]

Truth is our planet is pretty moderate, the large oceans, circular-ish orbit, etc, work to stablize things. However, our oxygen atmosphere is extremely toxic and corrosive.

[@MaxPSVR]

I laugh at all the comments I've been hearing about Australia not being real. i know a few people (some family members) who would debate that.

[@SandraNelson063]

Sir Terry Pratchett, bless him, called Australia XXXX. The main character spent half the book wacking bushes and screaming. Sigh. I miss Terry. Him diamond. 😢

[@lobsterminion693]

Australia is real, it's just that many who visit don't survive to tell the rest of the world about Australia's existence.

[@coolidgp]

It beats being mistaken for Austria

[@maboigrandmaster2993]

i would love a series where we get some group of Scientists getting kidnapped and the aliens ask them how to prepare against some deadly creature they hype up for half the movie just to let it be a lynx like beeing. and making earth a quarantine planet for all species

[@theermac6024]

I love how in science fiction, Australia is an urban legend, almost a myth with how unreal most of the things happen there seem to be

[@terryrhuebottom]

Got to say this was definitely worth the time it took to sit through.

[@tonynelligan1930]

hay i never thought australia was bad, i just thought they had wildlife that boxed, allowed paul hogen to have a cool name and lots and lots of wastelands. after learning just what was there i'd of been dead in a week f that. girls are lovely, the guys are buffed and if you go for a swim jaws eats you maybe africa isn't so bad a place after all.

[@jessicascoullar3737]

Nah, Australia isn’t nearly as dangerous as people claim. I live there and have only had to deal with a nearby bushfire and one large poisonous spider so far this year. It isn’t a daily occurrence. Haven’t seen a snake in years.

[@bfranciscop]

They probably don't even know about Australia's lightning death golf course.

[@iamdragonkrys]

Very good story 😊

[@Kitsune10060]

love how, even in the distant future, Australia is still looked upon with horror by all who know of it due to what lives there

[@tarnocdoino3857]

And we love Australia all the same. We vacation there. Anyone else have the urge to move towards a hurricane just to ride out a good one?

[@cyan_wings5420]

"Australia is real" If I ever meet an alien, that's the line I'm going to use on them X;'D

[@rachnussouldrinkerlibraria5640]

*looks at the balkans and the endemic landmines* "im honestly not surpised"

[@08techgrad]

Even my home state of Michigan has more extreme weather conditions than that.

Highly reccommend training your AI a lot more before posting. Though this is probably one of those farms that just pump out easy content.

[@KiraSlith]

Yeah, it's bot generated content stealing stories from the HFY Reddit.

if a bobcat is a threat they won't like mountain lions or Siberian tigers Bird like the Shrikes and a thorn tree Alligators and Crocodiles that only need to eat once a month

We are the alien equivalent to orcs.

[@mvalthegamer2450]

And to imagine what it was like before humans killed the megafauna, or before the Antarctic glaciers set in, when there were the 20 meter snakes and the terror birds

[@endarus6053]

The earth is actually class 10, Australia is an outlier and shouldn't be counted. -the aliens in this story.

[@amordramon22]

I don't get why people get freaked out anout Australia. Here in South Africa is quite extreme as we get temperatures up to 50°C in Summer and -5 or below in some places. So why do people freak out with the Aussies?

[@yeckiLP]

mostly the fauna & flora, less the weather conditions. read up on gympie-gympie (no I'm not joking) and learn of a small horror that looks like a regular old plant. The fauna.. it's less "big mouth = big gap in body" and more "small thing makes you nearly dead because of poison". It's kinda fun to research the worst australia has to offer, until you remember it is all real. sure there are other deadly things in the world, but the high concentration of those things is why people freak out about Australia

[@boqndimitrov8693]

send them to siberia! they will instantly raise earth's rating by 20 points! 😂

Are you seriously going to deny the sheer impact climate change has had on earth? Also why did you capitalize it?

[@williamscholl8203]

They forgot to mention the dangerous drop bears and hoop snakes, what a shame

[@entelechy00]

He should take them to Earth, let them visit a large zoo, a science museum that has exhibits on earthquakes and storms (especially the wind chamber), and then a visit to Australia. Lastly, give out t-shirts that says" I went to Australia, and all I got was this t-shirt".
