Why Humans are Not to be Provoked | HFY | FTL | A Short SciFi Story 

Interesting that the narrator was never told why humans in a low gravity ship need a workout regimen as it's needed to prevent muscle and bone atrophy.

2000 quatloo's the humans cannot be contained!

What would you call an Avian species' equivalent to one of our furries? Cause damn if this guy doesn't have human-fever.

At this time, humans have accepted and practice the Unity of One, which holds that all life is connected and while there may be conflict among Sentients, there must be understanding that we are all one, as certain proponents of the human *String Theory* hold. All of the Strings that make up each atomic and subatomic presence in the Universe were part and descendant of the initial “Primary String,” that exploded into infinite sub parts during the creation of each Universe.

This reminds me on Alan Dean Fosters book of the damned trilogy..

Sure is nice to hear “penchant” pronounced correctly!

While I found some of the grammar and word choice odd, I feel the story entertaining. While the opinions of some is negative, at least in regards to the less-than-stellar behaviour of some of our fellow humans, I both think and feel that this story served its purpose, which is to entertain. Subsequent to that, I took the subtly offered opportunity to look to the stated opinions of the narrating alien to consider I might be viewed from such a perspective. Such is the power of stories. To the writer: please carry on in creating new stories.

"cannot deny the undeniable" You don't say?

I can't shake the impression that the narrator is an Argonian!

Is this ur own voice? If soo u have a cool voice

Definitely NOT talking about Soy Bois 🙄

Awe, awe, awe, awe. Dude, there are more words to describe something. ‘I can’t deny the undeniable’? We all know by now the humans are the best in the universe: the most honest, the smartest, loyal etc. Doyou ‘writers’ ever take a look at the world? What in the world of 2024 makes you think so highly about humanity?

This is pap dude. A literary human centipede - 'humans are the good guys' as a plot point in actually alright scifi stories written with thought and incorporating some life experience from the author, trickling down to modern pulp sci fi, trickling down into a bunch of channels going 'Whoa! The Navi are a bunch of savages! The Imperium of Man kicks ass!' until its a thing on youtube, trickling down to this. This is not a story - it reads like the alien is editing a DBZ Wikia article with power levels. The framing as a letter to his family is all but nonexistent. If the concept of exercising is so foreign to this alien, and nothing exists in his culture that would lead to it, why does he admire and respect it? This applies to a variety of points lionizing humanity in the 'story' with no narrative. It's a breathless redditor going on about biology facts, with the slightest window dressing of an alien talking about humans in space. And a mild case of scifi/fantasy too-many-goofy-names-for-things-itis. Read some books homie.
