The idea of organisms which die in water isn't crazy in itself, but the idea that it's the vast majority condition in the universe is crazy assuming this takes place in OUR universe. Water is common and it's very effective for forming and sustaining life. So you'd expect at LEAST 50% of organisms to at the very least tolerate it, if not need it just like us.

I'd like to point out that under our current understanding of biology, it is not possible for any species to live without requiring water. Even if i could suspend my disbelief of that, the fact that the entirety of the galaxy would be life forms that have never been seen before, who's organic matter cant handle one of the most common compunds in the universe? Not to mention the fact that water couldnt possibly be the most dangerous poison to all life considering the vast quantitly of dangerous substances i know about.
Dude, the life forms here are silicon based, instead of carbon based like humans. It says at the end of this that the human tried to get on a bus or something full of silicates.
@GamerSoda-wk1ji everything we know about the possibility of silica based lifeforms is that the compounds silicates create aren't complex or stable enough to generate sentient life.
It Can't Be 'Realistic' Or 'Unrealistic' If We Literally Don't Know What's Going On In The Rest Of The Universe. We Are Apes On A Floating Rock Who Haven't Ventured Further Than The Moon, All We Have Are Theories On How Things Are Supposed To Work And None Of Them Can Be 100% Proven Or Denied.
I enjoy this genre but not when the aliens are all "oh gosh a puppy dog? your world has predators on it? DEATHWORLD LEVEL A MILLION, MAXIMUM QUARANTINE IN EFFECT!!! OH FUCK THE HUMANS LOOKED AT US, WE'RE ALL DEAD!!!"
"natural production of combat drugs" that's actually wild one. We could get full veins of adrenaline because of literally just thinking about some unexisting danger.
This reminds me of a book I read once, can’t remember the name, but humans were used essentially as superweapons because of how brutal and cunning we naturally are. All the other space faring races were pretty mellow and didn’t like fighting, so whenever a human got involved it was like releasing a hungry tiger in a kindergarten.
This is an interesting thought. Organisms in different worlds would have to evolve completely different to us. Creatures could breath gases harmful to us or have titanium bones even. I doubt water would be harmful to alien species but it will always be a possibility.
I love how most chemical components are dangerous in reality but are chemical weapons in sci fi settings. I mean most of the spices we use are poisonus for a lot of species but bot enough for us.like chocolate for dogs etc.
Oh boy, hope they dont find out about spit, piss, and sweat. Or maybe even condensation and water vapor. Spitting on someones face could be considered more than a disrespect...
» Carbon-based life form » Fleshy body naturally resistant to chemicals that would work in silicate lifeforms » Water required for survival instead of being a poison; fleshy body naturally contains water » Incredibly intelligent in most areas of the spectrum » Individual characteristics vary intensely, including personality and tendency to violence, making most human beings unpredictable until known individually » Extreme natural prowess in most, if not all areas related to language » Absolutely unrelenting in combat due to naturally having an indomitable spirit, though depends heavily on the individual » Extreme adaptability to any environment with the right pressure, oxygen saturation, heat, moisture, and other factors » Extreme potential weapons and armour prowess, also extreme potential unarmed combat prowess Yet we are still incredibly fragile despite being so fearsome.
I like the idea of how water is represented as technically water is the strongest dissolver. That's exactly why everything was forced to evolve a defense as to not get dissolved by water. Since you can basically dissolve quite littarly anything in water except for hydrophobic stuff I guess. That's how they make solutions (the chemical kind)
in fact, water being toxic can actually be pretty true for lifeforms consisting of silicate or other substances, because water dissolves most chemicals known to man and oxidizes stuff pretty quickly, to top it off, he greatest mass extinction in history is the "great oxidization" of earth's atmosphere, because oxigen was extremely toxic to celular lifeforms in the past, as it, obvioulsy, can corrode things through oxidization, from metal to organic material, even rocks. So basically, it would make sense if those were some of the most dangerous stuff for most lifeforms in the universe.
Reminds me of how the aliens from Signs were rebuffed. They could travel to distant worlds, but didn't realize they were landing on a planet that had huge amounts of a chemical that was deadly poison to them. They then proceed to attack said planet totally naked. What happened to those who were caught in a rainstorm? Fog? What happened when they met the one guy standing in the middle of his pool with a super soaker? Did they find out that the humans they abducted were primarily made up of this deadly chemical? Imagine if one of those prisoners spit in an alien's face as an act of defiance?
We are also the same species that would look at a plant that evolved to become spicy as a defense mechanism and go “ you know, that is tasty! Let’s selectively breed you to create a plant that is so spicy that we end up calling you “ghost pepper” because that is what you will end up as after eating one!”
The thing is that in our universe carbon life would be more common than silicon,hydrogen-silicon bonds are more unstable than carbon-hydrogen bonds,also carbon and water is much more common than silicon
Definintly better than the oxygen one but still lacking. Water is an extremely common element, even if you dont consist of it most species should have no difficulty surviving contact with it. it definitely isn't the most toxic compound in the universe, its not particularly reactive. At most, it would be able to dissolve them as it is a very good solvent
Imagine an alien shooting a human with a water gun, and the human shrugs It off confusing the alien. And the human thinking he's playing shoots back to have the Guy melt
Have you seen the human home world? They have OCEANS of the stuff! It's in their atmosphere, and it falls from the sky all the time. That's some apocalyptic horror type shit and it's just normal for these people
Alright, I'll say it... This "science" fiction story has earned all time highest score in a very special category: The most science WRONG per word of story. It wins by such a wide margin, I think the author might actually KNOW science well (perhaps even a PhD in chemistry), and this was his idea of a fun stunt. If so, Well Done! I'm reminded of an (apocryphal) quote by Abe Lincoln, commenting on a the relentless droning of a speechifying politician... "That man can compress the most words, into the smallest idea, of any feller I ever met".
I think this one’s absurd personally. If you study biochemistry or microbiology you’d see that so many systems are dependent on water to mediate reactions that there’s no real way for some other solvent to serve the same function as effectively. It has special solubility properties, it is perfectly neutral, it has a high heat capacity, and it’s made of some of the most common elements in the universe
"The humans... are interesting. Their intelligence is abysmal, but they seem to have a relation to spiritual forces that we thought [were] debunked. They have-" *grabs notes* "-'dreams?' Sometimes these are random nonsense, sometimes tell them who they really are, and sometimes they can control these dreams and even practice skills in their rest..."
well thats the point... its supposed to provide a perspective on humans from an extraterrestrial point of view there are a lot of of non-horror or light-hearted versions of this type of stuff
@@Blue-lj6md The problem is that these stories often put humans as a species that's wildly different or feared because of their biology without much effort to have it make sense.

The thing is that in our universe carbon life would be more common than silicon,hydrogen-silicon bonds are more unstable than carbon-hydrogen bonds,also carbon and water is much more common than silicon
2:35 its funny because 1 single drop of Hydrogen Fluoride is one of the most dangerous liquids to humans
Just wait till they hear about *The Indomitable Human Spirit*
Definintly better than the oxygen one but still lacking.
Water is an extremely common element, even if you dont consist of it most species should have no difficulty surviving contact with it. it definitely isn't the most toxic compound in the universe, its not particularly reactive. At most, it would be able to dissolve them as it is a very good solvent
wait if your saying water is the most poisonous thing in the universe does that mean "water guns" are probably a type 10 chemical weapon???
Imagine an alien shooting a human with a water gun, and the human shrugs It off confusing the alien.
And the human thinking he's playing shoots back to have the Guy melt
Man this is the ultimate FTL fan story
Have you seen the human home world? They have OCEANS of the stuff! It's in their atmosphere, and it falls from the sky all the time. That's some apocalyptic horror type shit and it's just normal for these people
Alright, I'll say it... This "science" fiction story has earned all time highest score in a very special category:
The most science WRONG per word of story.
It wins by such a wide margin, I think the author might actually KNOW science well (perhaps even a PhD in chemistry), and this was his idea of a fun stunt. If so, Well Done!
I'm reminded of an (apocryphal) quote by Abe Lincoln, commenting on a the relentless droning of a speechifying politician... "That man can compress the most words, into the smallest idea, of any feller I ever met".
Its cool but water is an essential aspect of life and without it life would not exist
I think this one’s absurd personally. If you study biochemistry or microbiology you’d see that so many systems are dependent on water to mediate reactions that there’s no real way for some other solvent to serve the same function as effectively. It has special solubility properties, it is perfectly neutral, it has a high heat capacity, and it’s made of some of the most common elements in the universe
I WAS NOT EXPECTING JEANEY COLLECTS-
Lel spicy food is a chemical weapon
Wait till they figure out about what is in our stomach
2:39 yeah those can work too.
"Maybe they're hermaphrodites" how the fuck
😂
"The humans... are interesting. Their intelligence is abysmal, but they seem to have a relation to spiritual forces that we thought [were] debunked. They have-" *grabs notes* "-'dreams?' Sometimes these are random nonsense, sometimes tell them who they really are, and sometimes they can control these dreams and even practice skills in their rest..."
ah its a Canadian astronaut
How did you make the Ai sound like Sean Bean?
I find these so painfully self centered
well thats the point...
its supposed to provide a perspective on humans from an extraterrestrial point of view
there are a lot of of non-horror or light-hearted versions of this type of stuff
@@Blue-lj6md The problem is that these stories often put humans as a species that's wildly different or feared because of their biology without much effort to have it make sense. It's interesting to consider the shock we'd have when meeting with other theoretical beings, but sometimes it feels like hearing someone talk about how they'd be ultra popular if they went to a different country
Wait but what are THEY made of then? Uranium? A super safe element?
Wicked Witch if the West was an alien. 👽
I like the light scottish accent
