Mass suicide after merely witnessing or hearing reports of human war? I guess no emotional resiliency is the consequence of evolving on garden worlds. Yet that same fragility makes them hyper aggressive.
They are the ones who were preparing for war thinking humans wouldn't value diplomacy.The hypocrites... why does noone ever try talkibg,why always war?
Well, in fairness, I have found that the majority of unreasonably aggressive humans and animals I've met have been quite insecure. Though on an amusing note, the aggressive and anti social plants I've encountered seemed rather secure in them selves Never once met a neurotic cacti, nettle, or blackberry.
Aliens: Commits mass suiccide from just hearing about human wars. Aliens: Find out that humans are stronger, bigger and scarier than any other sapient. Aliens: Figure out that humans are advancing at rates so many orders of magnitude above normal that they cant really comprehend it properly. Aliens: Figure out that humans already match their tech in space travel. Also aliens: "Yeah, we can take them."
yet surprisingly realistic from plants, animals try to eat us, and we cannot move or quickly defend ourselves. Just destroy the entire area around us so it is too toxic for anything expect us.

They have determined that humans are the most dangerous and war like species that they have ever encountered and they decided to pick a fight with them? Probably not a good idea.
From their perspective, they don't see negotiation as possible judging by the wars they witnessed (probably left before it was resolved, though tbh that wouldn't have helped as they were only ended by extreme loss of life and the threat of far more) so every second this terrifying species exist means their own destruction, so only one side can exist. And they want to ensure it's them.
I know it's fiction and all... but imagine spending God knows how many years knowing full well how to do fission, and somehow never ever even stumble into the concept of fusion
I think they have the concept of fusion but they don't have fusion reactors. We did fusion experiments before we had nukes, but even now we still haven't made a fusion reactor that has a net positive energy output (aka you need more energy to start and sustain the reaction than it generates)

If another species is strong enough to be a threat your, its better to try to make friend of them then give them a reason to act against you Too bad this now to be dead race didn't think of this
What the aliens fail to realise is, that humans on avarafe are not warlike. It i our leaders last resort to start a war as a distraction from their failing policies.
Actually, most wars nowadays are started because it’s profitable. Profitable for the politicians and the companies and corporations, it isn’t profitable for everyone else.
That’s not necessarily true for as Carl con Clausewitz said “WAR IS A MERE CONTINUATION OF POLICY BY OTHER MEANS.” After all we had political discourse with Japan before Pearl Harbor, after our political discourse came in the form of active conflict.
If I was that captain I would have broadcast on every public channel I could a recording of the initial meeting. From the perspective of every person on the away team if possible. And a message: "we did not.attack your station. We came here to begin peaceful relations, and possibly trade. But if your first reaction to our attempt at peace is to try to kill us by blowing up your station with us on it, we want nothing to do with you. Stay out of our territory, and we will stay out of yours. Attempt to kill us again, though, and you will meet a quick end."
Human technology has grown exponentially since the first gun was used. It would be scary to see as an outside observer. That being said, we did go from our first powered flight to landing on the moon in less than 100 years. Also, let's deploy a group of rabbits to each of their worlds.
Might want to check out the Worldwar series. Aliens try to invade earth and make the same mistake: Their scientific probe returns images of men in crude metal suits riding horses and hitting each other with swords. The alien invasion takes a few centuries to prepare and arrive, as they fail to realise that the human capacity for reckless experimentation greatly accelerates their rate of scientific progress compared to other known intelligent species. The invasion arrives in the middle of WW2.
This sounds like so much like an mlp fanfic. "Don't trust the humans! They look scary and do scary things plus that one looked at me weird! We have to kill them before we even ask them anything its the only way!"
To be fair, I've seen fanbases like the MLP in action, especially their politics, so I can see that mentality. Plus, a lot of people now seem to have an extremely negative view of humanity.
@@pleaseenteranamelol711 indeed. Pains me to see so many suffer from Okiophobic misanthropy. It's real bad with the ideologies found in the euphemism called social justice. Which reminds me of something that has always bothered me with these stories, a lot of them have elements of social justice that I don't think would be accurate. For example, many of these aliens seem to be some idealistic version of these ideologies, like how they all somehow are united, even though they would most likely be in a similar situation as us, with many different nations with many different perspectives.
I can definitely see extraterrestrials being horrified at the mass oxygen refusal inflicted by humans on other humans as they probably would have developed more peacefully due to lack of violence requiring competition
For everyone wondering(idrk how many of you there are): Yes, this is a series, and a complete one at that! It's a little novella where all the posts are connected. And this little interaction of first contact between humans and plant life ends in some crazy stuff happening. I highly recommend you go read it if you're interested in Science Fiction interstellar war plotlines.
I'm just picturing humans making their entrance by instead of interrupting the galactic council with an announcement just blasting a song and just how long it would take people to agree on Let's Groove by Earth Wind and Fire as the appropriate choice.
I slowly close the voice transmitter to my mouth and shout " You plant Xeno creatures shall witness the strength of my mightyyyy shiiipppp!! VEGETARIAN!!!!! "
Something a lot of these short stories keep forgetting or just ignoring is this planet has been sending messages via radio waves out into the galaxy. With FTL ships I can see how the humans may have jumped well beyond the messages we've been sending out into the great beyond, but I have yet to see a story that acknowledges and incorporates those messages into the story.
if i had a nickel for every time I heard a story involving space plants wanting to kill Humanity I'd have two nickels which isn't many but its weird it happen twice.
I went and read the rest of this and it gets ridiculous trillions dead the war going nuts and so on and so on. Spoilers ahead . FTL missiles that turn planets into dust. It's insane. Though it had funny moments. After 150 billion plant soldiers died trying to take Trappist 4 that was when its just like okay stupid story but interesting enough to keep me reading.
Are there any further parts of this story in this channel? Searching for Human Horrors only gave results from other channels, but I prefer the reading voice here.
I've been watching a lot of this series recently and it's all one big trend, the aliens are scared/ creeped out by human culture, action, activity, the internet as a whole, etc. Being confused by our faces and how different we are, but wouldn't we feel the same? An alien species so wildly different from our own would surely scare us, hearing of alien invasion would almost certainly cause some form of mass suicide and panic. This is all one big ego boost for us.
So true but if you look at pop culture and media over the decades movies always depict humans reacting and horrified by the appearance of aliens, fearing them. So surely we can have stories that go the other way. But these stories do get generic after a while.
"They're sending 200 ships to try and destroy us." Current year: the United States Navy has almost 300 active combat ships. You think we wouldn't have thousands or tens of thousands of combat ships bored and waiting for shit to do when we span 500+ star systems? My brother in Christ. I am going to get sick of brussel sprouts.
damn, these aliens are basically little children emotionally, they see no reason to not end themselves over just hearing things like that exist, meanwhile Humans hear atrocities happen in the new or read about it on the net and forget minutes after
I’m sorry, but I REFUSE to believe that any intelligent alien race out there would be shocked or surprised at our history of war and conflict. If the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy is an immutable constant of reality, then surely the concept of Scarcity is something all intelligent life forms would have to confront and deal with. And since life wants to, y’know, LIVE, it’s inevitable that some will do anything and everything they can to ensure that they survive and live on, even if it means denying the same to another of your race. So unless your species somehow found a way to create endless resources and shatter the laws of reality itself, never believe a Xeno when they say that they’re appalled by humanity’s history of conflict. If a Xeno tells you that theirs is a peaceful race and would never hurt even a fly, then they are LYING.

The alien invasion takes a few centuries to prepare and arrive, as they fail to realise that the human capacity for reckless experimentation greatly accelerates their rate of scientific progress compared to other known intelligent species. The invasion arrives in the middle of WW2.

@@chrisdufresne9359 It's worth the read. It's not just Humans vs Aliens.
The pirates of the Boogie Islands were fierce.
Good reading. There needs to be more of this one
Ah yes, best response to the giants being friendly is clearly war.
Fear has long lead things like this to happen on our own world.
If they have this such a hostile reaction I wonder how they react to human defoliants
Or videos of our industrial automated farming.
deploy agent orange
This sounds like so much like an mlp fanfic. "Don't trust the humans! They look scary and do scary things plus that one looked at me weird! We have to kill them before we even ask them anything its the only way!"
You read mlp fanfictions?
You just exposed yourself.
To be fair, I've seen fanbases like the MLP in action, especially their politics, so I can see that mentality.
Plus, a lot of people now seem to have an extremely negative view of humanity.
@@huntergman8338 People who hate humanity hate themselves. Humans ARE awesome.
@@pleaseenteranamelol711 indeed.
Pains me to see so many suffer from Okiophobic misanthropy. It's real bad with the ideologies found in the euphemism called social justice.
Which reminds me of something that has always bothered me with these stories, a lot of them have elements of social justice that I don't think would be accurate. For example, many of these aliens seem to be some idealistic version of these ideologies, like how they all somehow are united, even though they would most likely be in a similar situation as us, with many different nations with many different perspectives.
I really enjoyed this one, hope you continue to Narrate the following chapters
When I heard the part of them talking about the biology I thought about that" the no way a bee should be able to fly" quote
I can definitely see extraterrestrials being horrified at the mass oxygen refusal inflicted by humans on other humans as they probably would have developed more peacefully due to lack of violence requiring competition
This story deserves to be expanded on.
Imagine humans making salads from the remains of these aliens .
Please sir, may I have some more of this story?
When you choose to turtle in one system and focus on research.
Superb story telling. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Thanks for the story! (FTA)
this is the best channel to listen to in the background while playing Helldivers
For everyone wondering(idrk how many of you there are):
Yes, this is a series, and a complete one at that! It's a little novella where all the posts are connected. And this little interaction of first contact between humans and plant life ends in some crazy stuff happening. I highly recommend you go read it if you're interested in Science Fiction interstellar war plotlines.
So basically the Turian first contact war with Humanity.
Well that escalated quickly. WELEASE THA WABBITTS!!
I'm just picturing humans making their entrance by instead of interrupting the galactic council with an announcement just blasting a song and just how long it would take people to agree on Let's Groove by Earth Wind and Fire as the appropriate choice.
Bless the Narrator
Bless the Author
I slowly close the voice transmitter to my mouth and shout " You plant Xeno creatures shall witness the strength of my mightyyyy shiiipppp!! VEGETARIAN!!!!! "
Something a lot of these short stories keep forgetting or just ignoring is this planet has been sending messages via radio waves out into the galaxy. With FTL ships I can see how the humans may have jumped well beyond the messages we've been sending out into the great beyond, but I have yet to see a story that acknowledges and incorporates those messages into the story.
Is is there an episode 2 to this story I would love to hear more about it?
There are 5 chapters in this story. There's a second story where it's revealed that Council was responsible for the bronze age collapse.
@@machinist7230 do you have a link to it?
Fear often fuels aggression unfortunately
Plants that also likely have evolved high concentrations of protein, huh? You didn't start a war, you started a buffet.
i really like the phrase "descendants of Land Fish"
"got some morphine and started to think clearly again"..... lmfao, someone doesnt know how narcotics work
A painkiller amount wouldn't effect that much... Idk how it works either...
Wait till they find out about Agent Orange and flamethrowers 8D
if i had a nickel for every time I heard a story involving space plants wanting to kill Humanity I'd have two nickels which isn't many but its weird it happen twice.
I would love to see it continued
This is a good one i hope there is more to the story.
Wouldn’t even have to use nukes to fight these aliens, just release “the vegan teacher” , some locust, and goats then sit back and enjoy the show. 😂
I hope this cold feet story gets more installments
Alien: Such a horrible war.
Human: yeah World War One was awful
Alien: …..One?
Thanks for the story 😊
I hope this has a part 2
Jack get the Flamethrower
The heavy flamer brother
@@mugenokami2201 I've always preferred the FALLOUT Incinerator
Is there a follow-up to this? This has a LOT of potential!
I went and read the rest of this and it gets ridiculous trillions dead the war going nuts and so on and so on. Spoilers ahead
.
FTL missiles that turn planets into dust. It's insane. Though it had funny moments. After 150 billion plant soldiers died trying to take Trappist 4 that was when its just like okay stupid story but interesting enough to keep me reading.
for some reason i imagined the chancilor as a sunflower from plants versus zombies
My word this was fun was there a part 2?
Are there any further parts of this story in this channel? Searching for Human Horrors only gave results from other channels, but I prefer the reading voice here.
I've been watching a lot of this series recently and it's all one big trend, the aliens are scared/ creeped out by human culture, action, activity, the internet as a whole, etc. Being confused by our faces and how different we are, but wouldn't we feel the same? An alien species so wildly different from our own would surely scare us, hearing of alien invasion would almost certainly cause some form of mass suicide and panic. This is all one big ego boost for us.
Just let me inflate my ego I need the boost
So true but if you look at pop culture and media over the decades movies always depict humans reacting and horrified by the appearance of aliens, fearing them. So surely we can have stories that go the other way. But these stories do get generic after a while.
Wow. This went sideways. Time to break out the Agent Orange.
Get me the Flammenwerfer
"They're sending 200 ships to try and destroy us."
Current year: the United States Navy has almost 300 active combat ships.
You think we wouldn't have thousands or tens of thousands of combat ships bored and waiting for shit to do when we span 500+ star systems?
My brother in Christ. I am going to get sick of brussel sprouts.
I'm confused. First they said wars within a single species are common, then they said that it had never happened before except between humans.
And now... Flamethrower party !
It was in this moment they realised .......
This needs a follow up story
Man I was hoping for this
Sentient plants meeting humans
theres another 8(?) chapters of this and its been finished for 6 months.
My ship would be called “Tossin’ Tha Salad”!
damn, these aliens are basically little children emotionally, they see no reason to not end themselves over just hearing things like that exist, meanwhile Humans hear atrocities happen in the new or read about it on the net and forget minutes after
Perspective, they see us like a Warhammer Chaos undivided planet
I’m sorry, but I REFUSE to believe that any intelligent alien race out there would be shocked or surprised at our history of war and conflict. If the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy is an immutable constant of reality, then surely the concept of Scarcity is something all intelligent life forms would have to confront and deal with. And since life wants to, y’know, LIVE, it’s inevitable that some will do anything and everything they can to ensure that they survive and live on, even if it means denying the same to another of your race. So unless your species somehow found a way to create endless resources and shatter the laws of reality itself, never believe a Xeno when they say that they’re appalled by humanity’s history of conflict. If a Xeno tells you that theirs is a peaceful race and would never hurt even a fly, then they are LYING.
It appears that the aliens have chosen death.
it's time for america to get real proportional
Humanity being Thanos just by existing lmao
great job counselor, you have just destroyed an important trade station plus its inhabitants and sentenced millions and possibly billions of your own citizens to a death that would leave the rest of GC in a catatonic state
I guess 100 lbs is a lot for a plant lol.
Imagine qtan meeting our robots lol
Never mind the fact that photosynthesis is unable of providing enough energy to develop any form of advanced intelligence or movement.
Man we could have conquered the galaxy without ever leaving earth. That's what you get for being overly sensitive to things not your business.
Is this the Veggie Tales universe
Ngl I want to see some HFY stories using the Warp Drive stuff DARPA accidentally discovered a few months back.
BTW *YES BOYS AND GIRLS* WE DISCOVERED WARP DRIVE!!
Link?
"warp" technologies have been around at the theoretical level since the 90's my guy.
@@kanoslayer2735 I keep trying to post the link but it deletes me post
Look up DARPA discovering warp bubbles
Yeah it's just yeeting anything close to the link for some reason
Didn't something like this happens when a researcher went to study penguins?
Will you post the sequel
I need part 2😢😢
I teally with there was a follow up for this one
