The ONE Thing Aliens Fear More Than Anything... | Best HFY Stories

[@dicerson9976]

Thats some high juice to make out humans as scarier than both Xenomorphs and The Thing XD

[@willhopkins8210]

I mean, terrain advantage aside (Space and the Antarctic, respectively) the humans still managed to come out on top against both.

[@diamonje]

To be fair. We created both of those.

"Try to procreate, and learn something new'. Perfect.

[@armadillotoe]

That was a well-written story, and the narration made it even better. So many of the sci-fi stories on KZbin are disappointing. Thank you for the entertainment.

[@JesusKreist]

Replace "so many" with "nearly all of them". Roughly 95% of the HFY (rather AIFY ...) stories include 6 nax, six nags, 6 9, six nine, sigs nine, ... and/or a couple of ice dogs. Many of the stories have some kind of potential but every single time without fail that potential is floundered by the AI voices and/or inconsistencies in the story itself. This channel is the only I know where a) the story makes sense b) an actual human is reading it

[@derisathartfelt]

That was one of the BEST I've heard. Amazing voices as well!

You beat me to it - I was going to say exactly the same; best story I've heard this year, and best of all AMAZING voices - Excellent!!

[@cseale61]

Love it! Poor Avollo, he f*cked around and found out.

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

So they changed the name to make sure we weren't given the ending. The idiot hunter was a Yautja and I guess they added venomous tendrils to its head instead of just gold adorned tendrils and a breather mask. He also had his gun holstered instead of mounted on his shoulder. Funny how he didn't mentioned the xenomorphs himself, but instead he described the Thing as being the scariest species. Considering we humans dealt with BOTH and our species was the last standing, I can see how we'd get the scariest award. Especially if we get specced out the wazoo with body enhancements. FAFO indeed.

[@Rick-s5g]

Very good story! Describing the other terrible aliens made me sigh with relief that this is just a story- great narration also!

[@Maeshalanadae]

[@johntheherbalistg8756]

"Dirtlings" 🤣

[@robertgraybeard3750]

The first I ran across something like that was was back in the 1950s, possibly the 1960s. It may have been in a short story by Asimov in the Foundation universe. Some archeologist was studying anchient languages, trying to locate the original homeworld of humanity, and was fairly certain they called - it the language that was the root of all human languages - "mud" or "dirt" or a similar word.

[@ricochet1351]

This reminds me of a DC comic where a bunch of Rogues are arguing over which city is the safest to terrorize. I won't spoil anything, but I do recommend it.

So, the "Propagators" are Xenomorphs, and the "Multiplicity" is the Thing, but what are the spherical things with silk spinning legs and venom?

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

@@m.jasondoty9062 Maybe, but "mostly spherical with multiple eyes" doesn't evoke a symbiote to me.

[@gavinsolo3090]

I forgot what story it was, but i remember listening to one where the coalition of planets that were gonna invite humanity as the next member of their government. This coalition would send shapeshiters to talk it out first to ease tensions. They found out about the "Uncanny Valley" and that looking and talking human was just having an opposite effect on humans, and that being their regular "horrifying" form was actually better. It had a happy ending as the shapeshiters could finally be "in their own skin" and not have people look at them with horror. With humans, it was acceptance and some intrigue

[@banatibor83]

[@halslusher6030]

[@colinsmith1495]

Keep in mind, not ONLY did we beat these things, but we beat these things with UNTRAINED, NON-MILITARY UNITS IN EXTREME ISOLATION!! Alien is taken down by some space-truckers with a futuristic forklift and tools to eradicate bug infestations (flamethrower). The Thing is taken down by a group of scientists using de-icing equipment and cooking supplies (flamethrower again and methane). Legitimately, Predator being taken out by a beat cop is less impressive. At least that guy was in familiar territory and was trained to use a firearm.

[@ChrisZimmerman-gy6lo]

Good shit I needed tonight

[@taitano12]

We can take on those other scary things too. Especially with the enhancements. I'm making it my head canon that we were created by the Universe's creator to subdue and have in subjection this planet and all the life on it - something I believe anyway. It wasn't a deathworld at the time, but the fact that we've gone way beyond that mission to the point of nearly ruining the planet, both after falling from grace and apparently becoming weaker, and after the world was made a deathworld SPECIFICALLY as punishment... Ain't nothing gonna be THAT much of a challenge. If it's after the Millennial Reign, we'd be perfect again, and God will be respawning folks like that woman's husband and kids. HFY idea: We were created specifically to bring order to the civilizations of the Universe. The "... And they will learn war no more." thing only applies to war against eachother.
