I thought it was amusing. :negative:

Yeah I thought it was pretty funny too and looking around at humans I'm going to say it's pretty accurate. Just look at all the pictures of people driving dangerously jury-rigged cars around like it ain't no thing. Three wheels and a shopping cart wheel? gently caress it, gets me to work good enough. Hey my tire just popped, my spare isn't serviceable, and I'm 100 miles away from anything on this barely used road. Oh hey I have a little cart with wheels on it in my trunk. Problem solved!

And we actively encourage poo poo like this while figuring out how to rarely actually die doing stupid human poo poo. Rampant idiocy and the ability to survive it is basically humanity's super power. If nobody dies we laugh and try to come up with another stupid stunt.

We fixed one of our god damned space shuttles coming back from the moon with a roll of duct tape. Duct. Tape. As soon as one of the guys figuring out how to get the astronauts back alive found out they had duct tape his first thought was "yup, we're in the clear."

Peppers are actually hot to defer mammals from eating them, since our digestive system fucks up the seeds. Birds can't taste the heat.

The theory is that they also tend to be very brightly colored to attract things that want to eat them. Mammals go "wow, gently caress those things" while birds are all "gently caress YEAH LET ME BITE THAT!!"

It's really interesting how different things affect different creatures. Caffeine is actually a chemical defense against bugs. It completely and totally wrecks their nervous system.

To mammals it's a stimulant.

Lions are endangered. There are over a billion cows.

That also isn't limited to humans, actually. Some species of ant will farm aphids. They will take very, very good care of them and even make sure the aphids never have to walk themselves to another plant. Why? It's because aphids poop out sweet stuff that ants loving love. As long as there's ants there'll be aphids and the ants will made damned sure of that.

Getting a shot in the nards releases endorphins in your brain, but very few people seek that out.

You must be new here. It's fine, let me explain this Earth thing for a moment. I'm a human, by the way. That's what we call ourselves. "Hyoo-maan." Got it?

Now you see human brains naturally release endorphins in response to pain. They're a neat thing; they not only dull pain but they also can create a good feeling. You see, they're actually opioids and those are chemicals that are...well they're god damned addicting is what they are. Now, our bodies just produce this stuff naturally but it's pretty stingy about actually releasing them. But see the hot sensation of eating something with capsaicin normally doesn't actually hurt you. The naturally occurring stuff? Even the hottest one probably won't do any harm so realizing that using the parts of our brains that other animals don't have we override that pain response. The reason? Endorphins. You see, the body thinks it's being hurt because that chemical does that. That's the point. It hurts so mammals don't eat them. But we aren't normal mammals. We see the lack of damage but then get that cool, happy feeling from the endorphins heading right to the brain. So we ignore the pain and enjoy the rush.

But see we don't stop there. It isn't specific kinds of pain. Ever wondered why people run until it hurts then just keep going? Same drat reason. See endorphins are a response to stress and opioids are addicting so there are people that deliberately run until they get that cool, good feeling and then just keep going. The body is freaking out because we're not supposed to run that long unless something is wrong or we're chasing food. But neither is true; we're just running. Look I know that it's a waste of calories but we don't make sense, alright? We're also prone to consuming way more fuel than we need so we had to find ways to burn it off. Yeah it doesn't make sense. I'm saying we're poorly designed. Look, we didn't choose to be this way, alright? This is just how it is.

OK we're getting off track. You can ask more questions later. There's several billion of us and we really, really like to talk about ourselves. So anyway for some people that isn't enough. Some are satisfied with selectively breeding peppers hotter than can possibly exist. Some of them are in fact hot enough to actually cause damage. So humans, being humans, have competitions to see who can eat the hottest pepper. Yeah some of that takes practice and building a tolerance but I already told you "endorphins" and "we don't make sense." Don't judge us, alright? We didn't make ourselves.

So anyway even that isn't enough for some people and "will literally kill you hot" peppers are a really recent invention. Some people, well...they hurt themselves deliberately or have other people do it for them. I'm talking "I like it when my sexual mate/mates injure me" types of stuff. Well see mating also releases endorphins so the pain can make it better for some people. Well yeah it's risky and makes no sense stop pointing out how crazy this all is, OK? This is just how we are. Anyway...endorphins feel good. That's the core of it, OK? It's a chemical out bodies make that was really intended to dull pain so we could keep functional long enough to get out of lovely situations. But it also felt good so we have people that do damaging or painful things to get endorphins. Now see getting hit in the testicles hurts really, really badly. The reason there is to motivate males to protect the testicles. They're just kind of hanging there outside the body and are easy targets. You learn real early in life if you have them that getting hit there hurts so you avoid it. But most shots to the junk aren't damaging so of course there are people who inflict pain on their testicles or like to have them hurt while mating for the endorphins. It hurts a lot so it can ultimately to a massive shot of endorphins for no actual, lasting physical damage.

Why don't we change it? I don't know man, I guess we're just used to it.

I like these because the giant skeletons don’t even seem that malicious, outside of eating a cargo ship (and no one even seems upset by that). The one tangled up in the power lines is more confused than anything.

It’s like giant skeletons just showed up one day, didn’t actually attack anything, and are too much a bother to / can’t blow up, so people just kind of learned to live with it, now.

If they did show up but never really hurt anything other than occasionally eating a ship wreck or getting tangled in the power lines I figure people would just learn to deal. The power lines one is probably the best because the dudes are just like "well there he goes again. How do we get him out this time?"

A large, round tin container like that is absurdly useful for keeping poo poo in. It fits in basically every cupboard ever and they stack very nicely.

But because it says "cookies" every kid is like "yay, cookies!" and opens it only to find not cookies.

When someone posts the suicide hotline number on social media



To be fair some people don't even know it exists in the first place. This is part of why Google puts the phone number and the website as the first listing if you type things that sound like you're trying to hurt yourself. Suicidal and severely depressed people are often also in a state where they don't want to bother the people they know with their problems so it can be easier to talk to a stranger.

the thing that freaks me out about that meme the most is that the white lady is super loving thin. I don't think humans should be that skinny and to me she just looks less delicate and more like...needs to get help for anorexia :stare:

Bell curves and all that. When you have literal billions of people you can find adult humans that just kind of...ended up that tiny. Sometimes the body just gets to 4'10" and 90 pounds and goes "alright, I'm done." Under normal circumstances yes a fully grown person shouldn't be all that tiny but it's really the opposite end from the people that grow over 7' tall.

My guess is that they also picked the tallest black guy performers they could find and then did some camera angle tricks to make them look even bigger. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were a bunch of like 6'3" guys that were standing on boxes behind her. She's also sitting cross-legged so she looks smaller than she is.

edit: Looking closer the dudes are also leaning forward which makes it look like they're looming. Your brain just kind of registers that as them being bigger than they actually are. The dude farthest to the right isn't leaning and is the biggest so you kind of just assume the rest of them are also that big.
