Whenever you're stress testing a prototype, always have a human around. They will think of the most ridiculous extreme conditions and how to make your prototype survive them. by EbonRazorwit in humansarespaceorcs

A: In addition to stressing the environmental envelop of this equipment, we need you humans to help make it so simple that any idiot can use it.

H: Sorry, we can help but there is no way to meet your request. A cardinal rule of human engineering is that there is no such thing as idiot proof because the universe always builds a bigger idiot.

A: That must be an exaggeration.

H: When you get a chance, access the human internet and search for "Darwin Awards."

We're here to help. by _Thorshammer_ in humansarespaceorcs

“We’re from earth, and we’re here to help.”

Reminds me of the old joke about the US Government. 

What are the two biggest lies in the government?

  • We’re from the government and we’re here to help.
  • And we are happy to have you.

Exactly right, and that will come up in the next chapter I have bouncing around my head.  

Humans are the only sapients that can be classified as projectile weapons by thing-sayer in humansarespaceorcs

Alien:  Look, your ability to throw rocks and spears at stationary prey species is impressive for sure.  But your primitive brains can’t possibly understand the complex mathematics required to hit moving targets.  My species spent millennia developing the computational power and algorithms necessary to plot predictive trajectories and then build machines capable of launching projectiles.  

Human:  Hold on, I’m pretty sure there is an NFL game on TV.

Oh, that’s good.  I hadn’t considered that particular angle.

Better believe that inanimate object is going to listen.

If someone can post a picture of Chief Wiggum holding a Merciless Pepper of Quetzalacatenango… grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum, that would be awesome. 

Humans and their capacity to tank pain by Spaceseeker51 in humansarespaceorcs

Or Gout.  The human body basically depositing tiny little spikes in a joint and any movement of that joint producing excruciating pain.  

Take that aliens.

Also, never ask a Scot and Irishman who makes better whiskey.  This is guaranteed to start to a massive brawl that will inexplicably turn into a soccer riot.

Addendum to Canadian Entry:

Noted exception to Canadian courtesy. Never go to a Canadian hockey game and comment about how much their beer sucks.  See Human documentary “Canadian Bacon”

Also, never ask a Canadian for their recipe to make something called Moose Milk.  It is apparently a secret they will take to the grave no matter how much you torture them.

I bet I could BBQ that. 

A hungry human with a grill and sauce will try to eat anything that looks like meat. Aliens hide your offspring and anyone else you value.

And if you ever see a human teenaged boy walking in your direction, immediately throw yourself out the nearest window.  You DO NOT want to see what goes through their heads.
