for most of the story I just thot that the three words were hold my beer. SIDE NOTE: I know I did not spell some of the words right merc me or what ever.
Coming back to this, with a cool realization: After saying the three words, committed to die very soon, the human takes stock of his 'Bank account', intending to spend every last penny he has got in the coming moments. - Adrenal glands; just floor it. Valve wide open. Long term health effects no longer matter. - Proprioceptive limitations lifted. All muscles at 1000% effort. Rip and tear them to ruin- it won't really matter 5 minutes from now. - survival pain reflexes; go ahead and disable those. It won't really matter 5 minutes from now. All those kind of limitations gone, you've got the blood in your veins, the muscles in your back, the terrible will in your mind. Go out there, get spending like there is no tomorrow. And wow. The guy in the arena certainly got his money's worth .
ya ... there is a reason all those limits are in place bc if we survive those 5 minutes we hurt like all hell for YEARS, and start saving again for the next withdrawal
That's what happens to every single person who has ever won a Victoria Cross, or Medal of Honor. Everything "in the bank" withdrawn, just for the chance to effect a change in the outcome of what looks to be so bleak in front of them. A WW1 pilot, his leg blown off in a surprise attack by seven German planes, managed to continue flying so that his rear gunner could drive off ALL SEVEN of them, then land the fighter safely, THEN give a full report on enemy positions before allowing them to render medical aid. All the while, bleeding out of his severed leg. And his rear gunner didn't know until they'd landed that the pilot had even been wounded. He never thought to mention it that his leg had been blown clean off. VC winner. Right there. Yeah. Never let a human get to the point of that level of "withdrawn", and say "The Three Words".
Listening to this story and about half way through the old veteran in me said the three words. Much to my amusement the inner monolog was correct. Great narration as always.
Yep,... 'well, fuck it' means I'm not going to be getting out of this one. Let's make it epic. 'Hold my beer' is more of a,... this will be cool or I can do better than that. Also could mean this will be epic. The difference is one knows the cost but goes ahead anyways. The other is not considering the cost at all.
The only context the humans are saying 'well fuck it' seems to be when we hit a point where the members of humanity involved realize/decide that they've got nothing left to lose.
"Well fuck it" Isn't the pact. The pact is in our very soul, a sullen commitment that comes to a man with nothing to lose. All humans are capable of said action without the three words, it's just that we usually don't feel the need to perform such acts unless our very lives are on the line. It's a comittment so strong we put absolutely everything our body can output into that action, something we don't see the need to do unless our lives are on the line or coming to a close. Theoretically, I could make such an absurd feat without my life on the line, and without saying The Three Words, but I really don't want to have to put that much effort into it.
Did you know that the average human can lift in excess of 2,000 pounds (smallish car) when in extreme life and death adrenaline fueled circumstances. 5-8 times there normal body limits, but doing so can, and has been documented, ripping apart there body. The price to save others can be steep, but still worth it.
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 Yeah, it works when you're dying too. There's this one hiker that was caught in a landslide, and was being crushed to death by a 7,000 pound boulder, and his brain said "No, I _WILL_ SURVIVE." and he _threw_ the boulder off the clifface, then heard it crash below. The science is that we only use about a 3rd of our muscle capacity in most situations, and the brain has this subconscious limiter set in place to not damage our muscles; if we didn't have it we'd damage our muscles irrevocably in just a few minutes. Granted, in situations the brain sees as more important, like a father protecting his family, a mother protecting her children, or anyone trying very hard to survive, the brain can switch off that limiter and let moms lift cars, dads one-punch a bear to death, and a hiker hurl a 7,000 pound boulder off their chest and over a cliff.
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 And then there's the whole ignoring pain thing. A trucker once had to cut off their arm and drive one-handed and bleeding out some 60 miles to a hospital, and calmly walked up to the desk and requested medical treatment.
Those three little words. They don't always mean our death too, just that we are fine with that possibility. I should know. I'm typing this now but in the past I was tired and being hounded. It was a no way out situation. I accepted that and stood my ground with only three tired words escaping my lips.

One thing worse is a human with one thing to protect and there own life, but are willing to sacrifice there own life to protect the other. Think mother and child, if something is going to harm that kid she wont stop until that something is dealt with.
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 true enough, when we have resolved to protect at any cost, we humans can become true demons of battle and death. We are not immortal or invulnerable, but for the few minutes till we bleed out, you will wonder what the difference is. If someone had a whole group fighting like that............... army's would flee in terror.
When pushed to the edge, humans will push back with everything they have. At least, that's what they think. Because in the end, they always think about getting out on the other side. But when oblivion is actually upon them, the end is real, death is good and truly inescapable... That's the moment when 'all they have left to give' becomes a reality. Because realization is rapidly followed by acceptance, and then they say it. "Well fuck it." There is a sliver of a moment to avert disaster after that phrase, just a sliver.

Hold my beer is a blessing because there's not necessarily a cost to the one saying it. And 'well fuck it' seems to be what we say upon being handed the receipt for our pact with the demons.
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 I think you have summed the difference nicely. All instances of 'hold my beer' imply the one saying it plans to survive and return to finish said beer. 'Well, fuck it' holds no such implication. It's a complete acceptance of the situation with zero expectations of survival.
NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED?!?! Those were the only 3 it could be. The guy who said "Hold my beer" lol that is a good gag guess too but really I feel like we all knew or should have. You put yourself in that psychological headspace, what else would you say? Also, kudos for finally saying fuck instead of feck. It ruins the moment every time you say feck lol. Maybe it is because I am Australian but it isn't that big a deal to say fuck.
I expected the words to be mutually assured destruction. But after listening it's more that 'well fuck it' is the proof we've decided on MAD on whatever level of society is needed to escape/overturn this crises.
It's not how the phrase moral dessert works, but sometimes when a story ends with such a delicious line, it feels like it should be called a moral dessert.
In our darkest hour. When there is no way to win. When all hope is lost. The void of the universe whispers in our ear. The death of our enemies. The salvation (however temporary) of the many. Our desire for vengeance filled. It makes it's offer. The price it demands is dire. Our very life. Maybe even more. In return it will give us these things. We need only to accept. "Well fuck it" is the distinctly human acceptance of that dark contract. :P
There is a single sentence that is quoted in several parts that when said with true conviction is truly dangerous. "Well fuck it," "let's do this," even "if it's the last thing I do" "I'm gonna see you(all) in hell" for "it's a good day to die," so "let's dance."

Few minutes in... I want the three words to be ,"Launch All Zeig". End of video. Ok . Those three words were also very acceptable. I invoked them myself when I walked through the back woods of New York and Canada to Montreal to see my son. That trip took one bottle of water and 3 days. And 4 nights.
After all of that... Now I wonder what the world leader was going to do after saying that, and reaching for the doomsday phone... I wonder if the words "uncage the strangelet" was likely
Kinda, but at the same time people who say death before dishonor generally had a way of getting themselves and/or others out alive but felt that taking said way out would've been worse than death for the ones to survive. The people saying the three words have already accepted that their fate is sealed as well as what their final act will be, and they will power through anything that stands in the way of achieving said act, including their own death. If their final act is incomplete than nothing short of the complete dismantlement of their body and tools/weapons can stop them.

"Well, fuck it" shows a lot more resolve. It is the absolute state of mind of a human with a singular task readied before them and the drive to achieve it, even if they must die to do it. It is not, "I'd rather die than be dishonored". It is, "I'm doing this, no matter what, and my life is the LEAST of the price I would pay to do it." It is the absolute grim determination of a human who has accepted their death as a forgone conclusion and the only thing that continues to matter is what can be accomplished in the time the decision is made and the time they hit the floor. "Well, fuck it" is our mantra at heart. It is us daring the universe to write our tale. To tip the scales in our direction one last time. To pull off the impossible and we are giving ourselves to do it. Why? Because the universe loves irony. The universe loves the impossible. More often than not, when we dare the universe to tip the scales in our favor and offer our lives to do it, it will oblige if we are serious about it. It will oblige and give us just enough time to do what needs to be done. To leave our final mark. The middle finger. Because, the universe LOVES irony. It will give us our middle finger. It will allow our wretched spite to burn brightly across the stars, even if only for a little while. After all, we paid the price for it. The price for tipping the scales is all our debts coming due at once. Spending all our luck and fortune to accomplish a singular event. Then, paying all of that debt at the end. That's humanity in a nutshell.
Never back your opponent into a corner in which they believe they must give their all to the fight or die always allow them the illusion of escape. Offer your own men the illusion that they cannot escape, that they must fight through the enemy to survive. How Sun Tzu's deployed "Well, fuck it" strategically. Avoid provoking it in your foe and exploit it in your own.
For the record, I was anticipating "*sigh* let's do this" or "time to die" or something in that vein, but The Three Words definitely were even better than those

Oh yeah, with adrenaline in our veins and nothing left to lose, telling ourselves 'Well fuck it' can lead to all sorts of stuff that might otherwise not happen.. Good story
Since the leader said it on the phone and the ships broadcast it to each other, I expected the three words to be Mutually Assured Destruction. “Well Fuck It” doesn’t seem to work in context a few times.

Also, kudos for finally saying fuck instead of feck. It ruins the moment every time you say feck lol. Maybe it is because I am Australian but it isn't that big a deal to say fuck.
i dont mind swearing at all , youtube however.... Also a lot of people listen at work so i keep it sparing in the swearing
once they used the word tombstone my head was stuck thinking the words were I’m your huckleberry
I was thinking, sh!t got real.
I expected the words to be mutually assured destruction. But after listening it's more that 'well fuck it' is the proof we've decided on MAD on whatever level of society is needed to escape/overturn this crises.
@@AgroSquerril What an absolute class act. Never change, Agro
"A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal!"
Well that’s one to say Mutually assured destruction
It's not how the phrase moral dessert works, but sometimes when a story ends with such a delicious line, it feels like it should be called a moral dessert.
The only channel that I like the video before I even watch it
much appreciated
In our darkest hour. When there is no way to win. When all hope is lost. The void of the universe whispers in our ear. The death of our enemies. The salvation (however temporary) of the many. Our desire for vengeance filled. It makes it's offer. The price it demands is dire. Our very life. Maybe even more. In return it will give us these things. We need only to accept. "Well fuck it" is the distinctly human acceptance of that dark contract. :P
yarp
There is a single sentence that is quoted in several parts that when said with true conviction is truly dangerous.
"Well fuck it," "let's do this," even "if it's the last thing I do" "I'm gonna see you(all) in hell" for "it's a good day to die," so "let's dance."
When you got nothing left to lose, you got nothing holding you back
true
I was thinking the Three Words were "Lets do this". But "Well, fuck it" works pretty well too.

The most dangerous thing in the universe is a man with nothing left to lose.
Thank you for not censoring the three words.
They're too important.
that they are
Few minutes in... I want the three words to be ,"Launch All Zeig". End of video. Ok . Those three words were also very acceptable. I invoked them myself when I walked through the back woods of New York and Canada to Montreal to see my son. That trip took one bottle of water and 3 days. And 4 nights.
After all of that... Now I wonder what the world leader was going to do after saying that, and reaching for the doomsday phone... I wonder if the words "uncage the strangelet" was likely
Maybe, or it could have just been 'detonate'.
So many thought the words were " hold my beer" but I didn't. Those words are for fun things and drunken craziness.
I thought they were " so be it"
I imagined the 3 words were "Just do it!", but the one at the end sound more appropriate.
lol
I thought the same XD.
yeah seems like a legit statement on humanity
'well fuck it [we got nothing left to loose]'
I was thinking: death before dishonor. I think that would show more resolve for what needs to be done.
Kinda, but at the same time people who say death before dishonor generally had a way of getting themselves and/or others out alive but felt that taking said way out would've been worse than death for the ones to survive. The people saying the three words have already accepted that their fate is sealed as well as what their final act will be, and they will power through anything that stands in the way of achieving said act, including their own death. If their final act is incomplete than nothing short of the complete dismantlement of their body and tools/weapons can stop them.

"Well, fuck it" shows a lot more resolve. It is the absolute state of mind of a human with a singular task readied before them and the drive to achieve it, even if they must die to do it. It is not, "I'd rather die than be dishonored". It is, "I'm doing this, no matter what, and my life is the LEAST of the price I would pay to do it."
It is the absolute grim determination of a human who has accepted their death as a forgone conclusion and the only thing that continues to matter is what can be accomplished in the time the decision is made and the time they hit the floor.
"Well, fuck it" is our mantra at heart. It is us daring the universe to write our tale. To tip the scales in our direction one last time. To pull off the impossible and we are giving ourselves to do it. Why? Because the universe loves irony. The universe loves the impossible. More often than not, when we dare the universe to tip the scales in our favor and offer our lives to do it, it will oblige if we are serious about it. It will oblige and give us just enough time to do what needs to be done. To leave our final mark. The middle finger. Because, the universe LOVES irony. It will give us our middle finger. It will allow our wretched spite to burn brightly across the stars, even if only for a little while. After all, we paid the price for it.
The price for tipping the scales is all our debts coming due at once. Spending all our luck and fortune to accomplish a singular event. Then, paying all of that debt at the end.
That's humanity in a nutshell.
Never back your opponent into a corner in which they believe they must give their all to the fight or die always allow them the illusion of escape. Offer your own men the illusion that they cannot escape, that they must fight through the enemy to survive. How Sun Tzu's deployed "Well, fuck it" strategically. Avoid provoking it in your foe and exploit it in your own.
I enjoy all of Agro Squirrel Narrates videos
Not the words I was expecting. But absolutely the words that would be said.
For the record, I was anticipating "*sigh* let's do this" or "time to die" or something in that vein, but The Three Words definitely were even better than those

"well, fuck it" isn't the pact, it's a part of the receipt, the toll on the body being the other
Someone who has nothing to lose is the most dangerous person alive, even if just barely alive.
YOOOOO, this is a good one. Great work as always, nice to hear your narration before sleeping.
Those three words hit deep. Now i get it.
Thank you, the swarm has returned my fluffy one
nice
What... huh... should I even ask?
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 I started liking and commenting, suddenly my other favorite fluffy sock suddenly reappears...
There are in fact three OTHER word that should be feared more.
RIP!
AND!
*TEAR!*
UNTIL ITS DONE!

I can see it in my head already.
Aliens: You have no way to defeat or deter us this time, we will annex your world and enslave your people!
Human leader: *sighs, reaching for the red phone* So our options are death or enslavement. Well, fuck it...
Aliens: *instantly start panicking* No wait wait wait! Let's negotiate a bit more first!
Let me guess. The three words are "Well fuck it."
Edit: Called it.
Ahhh fuck it the most dangerous phrase known to mankind. Not everyone fully understands the depth of the phrase. Anyone can say but only a few can truly mean it.
When death is certain, the only thing left is to spend your last moments well.
yup
There’s nothing more dangerous in the universe than the species of humanity with nothing left to lose
They’ll do everything they can to take you with them
Yep, exactly. Price accepted. Let's go.
The original three words. When Humanity abandons the physical Universe has rules and limits to accomplish The Impossible. These three words are not to be underestimated. Another three words are used mainly for fun and those three are " hold my beer " truncated from hold my beer and watch this
What do we say to the algorithm? "Well, fuck it" works...
I was expecting " Remember the Alamo." Either way it's about the same.
"Cowabunga, it is"
I was thing it was "You fucked up.".
Somehow I just knew what The Three Words would be.
And here I thought it would be "Mutually Assured Destruction."
That's why one should never get to our bad side*malicious laughter*
I thought The Three Words were "Hold My Beer." It seems others also had the same idea.
I was thinking Hold my beer or LEEE ROY JENKINS! but I was pleasantly surprised by the real answer. it's very very true! Those words have power
that they do

@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 let's dance on damm scary in it's own right. Make a demon back up and run.
The sentiment of the three words was even drilled into the human young in a wording suitable for their young ears throughan animated character...
Let's Get Dangerous
Oh yeah, with adrenaline in our veins and nothing left to lose, telling ourselves 'Well fuck it' can lead to all sorts of stuff that might otherwise not happen.. Good story
I love the end is will say Agro you and Net Narrator are my top commentary RUclipsrs cause the stories you pick and how many you have
glad you are enjoying the content
@@AgroSquerril glad you are making the content
Same since P.M. Seymour stopped his "humans are Space Orcs" a while back. And yes I know about his last video, sent off right.
Humanity: I've nothing left to lose is a polite way of saying
Time to take everything from you!
"feck about, find out" finally has a worthy contender :)
That's four words.
Bless the Squerril
Bless the Author
His voice sounds like a more happy and less grim dark baldemort 😅
lol depends of if its before or after my first cup of coffee
For the Author(s), for the narrator Agro Squirrel, for the algorithm !!!
The new three words:
"For The Algorithm"
Now that was outstanding!
Since the leader said it on the phone and the ships broadcast it to each other, I expected the three words to be Mutually Assured Destruction. “Well Fuck It” doesn’t seem to work in context a few times.
No, he said that before reaching for the phone. The other side understood that it was not wise to let him continue.
Ahh and here I thought "F*ck this Sh*t" the whole time...but close enough xD
And also, very nice story... as always.

I knew it would be something like that, but it still got me xD
Humanity has several such phrases
"Well, fuck it."
"Hold my beer."
"Here we go again."
And the one to fear most.
"Nuts."
I was expecting "Fuck this shit..."
Other candidates for The Three Words or The Last Words are= Well, Whatever! It's Hero Time! Here We Go! Make 'Em Pay! I've Had Enough! I'm Only Human!
I half expected the words to be:
"It's your funeral
Mutually assured destruction
As you wish
Go F yourself. "
But the three words they use are so much better.
Wow that was funny. I was guessing at the three words right up until the end
glad you enjoyed
at this point I'm not sure of how many socks I've got missing
more than three
Not gonna lie, i was hoping the three words were "hold my beer"
nah man
When you say "Hold my beer", you still believe you're coming back and enjoy that
When you reach the level of "Well, fuck this", you've accepted that the beer will be drank by someone else and in your memory...but sure as hell you won't be going down alone
_"Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve. Officers and men alike will put forth their uttermost strength."_ - Sun Tzu
Basically a long winded explanation of what those three words amount to in the very end.
honestly, wasn't sure which three words, but when it was revealed I saw the truth in this. Although the Aliens would be shocked why we say it.
OMG...... SO TRUE..... THIS MADE ME LMFAO SOOOOOOOO HARD..... It also brought back some bad memories from the past and someone that died in my life....... His last written words found in his pocket were just that.... Makes me cry and miss him even after 20 years...... I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU JACOB.......
