Venomous Saliva? - Humans are space orcs

Headphone users: watch your volume, I scream in the middle of the video.
Links in the description!
Ok so technically I've given myself the deadline of Saturday to put out a new video and technically it's still Saturday for me. So I think I'm good.
Now as for humans being venomous, I've definitely met some people who spoke with words of venom and I've met people who's mouth was so nasty it might as well have been venom. Humans being venomous could be pretty symbolic.
Remember, I take requests for video ideas! With more ideas, I may be able to do more than one video a week!

Side note: In practice, human salivary secretions vary from slightly acidic (a pH of 6.2) to slightly basic (a pH of 7.6). In context, the human captain's salivary pH was lowered due to the stress of the situation, enhancing the acidic properties. In addition, human salivary secretions contain the following: * Predigestive enzymes, such as amylase and lipase, which would have contributed to the breakdown of the protective slime layer. * Electrolytes. * White blood cells. * Discarded skin cells. * Antimicrobial agents. * Lysozyme. In the event recorded, it was likely this substance which played the greatest part in the destruction of the Burg commander. Lysozyme is an antimicrobial agent found in most human secretions. It acts by breaking down the cell walls of bacteria, and has been shown to dissolve chitin, though not so well as the unrelated chitinase.

Krill knew that the "Crocodile" was a terrifyingly efficient swampland predator about twice as long as a human with a bite-strength that could bend or deform weaker industrial metals. "Do you wrestle this one too?" Krill asked, recalling the horror stories of wounded humans using one limb and some light adhesive cloth to make those apex predators submit. "Well no, their bite is pretty scary. not only will it kill a human, it'll hurt a LOT as you die. Heck, a Burg might die on contact." "Just how deadly ARE they?" Krill asked tentatively. "Well, they bite their prey once, and then follow it around as it dies slowly of infection, only to eat its infected corpse to renew its mouth bacteria." "And let me guess, you made it a pet?"

[@nuclearsynapse5319]

As we define it, it's just bacteria. Technically speaking though the bacteria was "injected" into the Burg through the carrier saliva, as the saliva broke through the protective slime layer. It would be like me tearing off a chunk of your skin and splashing venom on the wound. I didn't use a syringe, but your bloodstream now has venom in it. The one odd thing here is that aliens treat venom and bacteria as similar antigens. Bacteria is alive and uses the body in a parasitic manner to reproduce rapidly. Venom is a catalyst that destroys our proteins, which explains why some venoms are so deadly even with only a bit. Some catalysts don't deform after they perform their reactions, while others only have a limited number they can perform before becoming useless.

Possibly. Venom in other planets possibly could be considered an expulsion of bacteria. Both to help against bacterial infection and as defense. It's probably what classified the humans as venemous in the first place.

I have sort of a love-hate relationship with "humans are space orcs" stories. On the one hand, I love stories that point out just how fucking weird humans are. On the other, it's always bugged me how most of them make it seem like every other sentient species in the universe would be scared shitless by the same aspects of human biology. I mean, even on our own planet, there's a tree whose fruit can cause stomach bleeding and cancer in humans, but iguanas have no problem eating it. We all evolved on the same planet, using the same basic chemical structures. It just seems really arrogant to assume that we can handle or enjoy things that all alien life couldn't, like we wouldn't be equally horrified to see an alien from a planet with its own unique chemical composition and ecosystem snorting... I don't know, cyanide. I bet, like, Trisolaris would have an underground market for cyanide or something.

[@snackcakesmcgee7729]

I read this one story about an alien who was horrified by the idea that you can transplant organs from one human to another. Ever heard of a hydra? Not the mythological creature, the actual animal. They can regrow from a single cell. If you push one through a sieve, or stick it in a blender, or something, you end up with a hundred new hydras.

I have just binged every video you've made thus far, it's really great stuff and I hope you keep doing it! I love the Humans are space orcs genre so much.

[@demonickiller6315]

just wait until they find out that we can actually lift somewhere close to like 10 tons or some super heavy shit. BUT we are only restricted by the strength of our bones, and our brain puts a subconscious limit on the strength of our muscles (reduced with adrenaline hence why you get stronger when in flight or flight) because if our muscles exerted full strength, our bones would snap.

Holy shit dude.

I had been missing the HASO stories, and your channel has scratched that itch wonderfully

[@notyetdeleted6319]

One thing by Tom Scott was similar you know, the whole thing of humans being irrational being an arguably beneficial thing, as well as being highly adaptable

[@kaiserotto8715]

Fun fact: Saliva has special properties that increases healing rate. Which is why a cut or wound in your mouth will heal faster than a wound on your arm or leg.

[@testsubject1018]

their reaction if they find out how humans reproduce after that happened....i'd pay to see that...oh lord

[@drewahrens3141]

I love how Komodo Dragons are always being brought up in the comment section, it's great.

[@c.a.schultz7277]

Listening to you narrate this reminds me of all the early inconsistencies in my stories lol. Love listening though. You do an amazing job! :)

[@diamondwillow1191]

Your writing has definitely improved since then!

[@匚尺卄]

Best way to listen is to get High and then zone out and just listen.

[@brightside2718]

So we're like the space equivalent of komodo dragons?

[@FrancisR420]

I think Komodo dragons are the space equivalent of Komodo dragons

I’d probably say humans in the WASO-verse are potentially what the Blue Shadow Virus was in the Star Wars-verse.

There’s something I need from you and I don’t know quite how to put it and I don’t wish to waste your time so instead of going on and on I’ll just come out and say it mooooorrrrrreeeeeee!!!!!! Please and thank you

[@Cha-Khia]

"Venom and Bacteria aren't the same thing" Laughs in Komodo Dragon.

[@sandtall1]

I just found this channel and I love it! Idk if you ever write your own stories but I have a suggestion if you do, that fact that humans turned a 180lb pile of fur and teeth into a Chihuahua. Basically the idea of domestication. It’s pretty crazy when you think about it. The idea of livestock is less crazy but the fact we turned the wolf into our perfect companion is way more out there.

[@jasonpatterson8091]

I know that these are a ton of work, and I don't know what your life situation is, but I wanted you to know that I miss your stories. They were the first online HFY stories I stumbled into and I still find them some of the best. 🙂 If you never make another video, thank you for the content you've already made. If you do make more, then many, many thanks.

[@hanswurst2189]

Same, she provided one of the best sci-fi ideas ever. I wish she'd make more of them

I appreciate your choice of stories; most of the shit on HFY is just "Humans killed all aliens bc we so merciless." It's so lame. I pick good stories.
