I Should Also Point Out That Humans Are Incredibly Resistant To Impact Damage And Able To Naturally Heal

I should also point out that humans are incredibly resistant to impact damage and able to naturally heal from injuries that would kill most other mammals, broken limbs in particular. part of this is, of course, because of our elevated sense of community, which drives us to care for other humans (and organisms in general) that can’t care for themselves, but the other part of it is just that we’re freakishly good at fixing ourselves.

Human vs Animals

not a typo, my friends are just bastards

People making typos in groupchats and then getting whaled on is extremely funny unless I am the one making the typo, in which case you guys are not funny and being very immature

King, please explain the gay immortal cyborg warlordfrom the future?????????

Ah, that would be one Pelinal Fucking Whitestrake. Possible avatar of a dead trickster god (Shezarr/Shor/Lorkhan), said to be able to speak directly to Akatosh (whom he hated). His heart was the Amulet of Kings, and his right arm was “made of a killing light.” Knew about Reman Cyrodiil a thousand years too early. Et fucking cetera.

Just.... look him up on the wiki. His entire page is a trip. Alternatively, FudgeMuppet did a video about him on YouTube, link here.

thinking about what makes humans special and I’m kind of in love with the idea of a sci-fi universe where humans are the first and only species that invented FTL because we just Would Not Fucking Give Up on it. all these other interstellar civilizations are thousands of years older than we are and most have megastructures and immortality and plasma weapons and crazy advanced supercomputers. but they all resigned themselves to the fact that FTL is impossible, and nearly shat themselves when these primitive backwater super-monkeys showed up in their systems by dropping out of warp drive.

“How did you do that?” they ask, with their effortless and flawless auto-translators that are centuries from anything we could achieve.

“Do what?” we reply, eyeing the oxygen meter because we still haven’t quite perfected atmospheric recycling.

“What do you mean, ‘do what?’” they press, incredulous. “Your spacecraft just crossed an interplanetary distance in minutes!”

“Oh, the Alcubierre drive? Pretty simple, we just tricked the quantum vacuum into giving off a controlled negative energy density to create a localized bubble of warped spacetime that amplifies apparent velocity. Still working on the power efficiency though, it’s real basic and eats up so much fusion fuel.”

“You did WHAT to spacetime?? With a fusion reactor?! What about relativity?!”

“Yeah it turns out Einstein was a little wrong and the universe can be treated as a single reference frame, because knowing takes precedence over observing... Hang on, how do you guys with your Dyson spheres and antimatter engines not have faster-than-light drives?”

“HOW DO YOU FUSION DRIVE SIMPLETONS HAVE THEM?! We tried for centuries and gave up on it!”

“Oh yeah it took a while but we just kept trying.”

“Why?”

“Hubris and general cosmic spite, mostly.”
