Yeah, its rediculous! Everyone knows you also need googly eyes or those fully glasses+nose things to avoid hostility

@@MrMoron-qn5rx And don't forget a cane. To complete the look

I mean hats are easy to spot and more or less convey, that you are a sentient species and not just a super sized nightmare creature.

Honestly, put a jaunty little top hat on virtually anything and humans would find it cute.

@@laencleardalethat’s what I was thinking especially how they described the spider like creatures to dress, haha

To be fair the main difference between Toxins and Venoms, Is so basic it's hard not to see Komodo Dragons as "Venomous" or "Toxic", even if they are technically both

I was just talking to my SIL about this today. I was skeptical, because I haven't really read about them since I was a kid, but I guess I should skim Wikipedia or something.

It’s Venoxic lol

The only difference between toxin and venom is that a venom is a toxin that's injected by a means that is naturally developed by the animal. A venom is a toxin but a toxin is not always a venom.

Oh yeah, I just found out that they had “venom” 2 days ago and man that stuff is potent.

Those two differing perceptions seem like a DISASTROUS mix, when a tentacled fellow gets a little too touchy...

Heh, better than the alternative, like most HFY stories!

you know, that last word describing us is the most terrifying thing, I think

alien bards

Its weird But acceptable

So that mean we are basically cats. Cute, endearing, and beloved yet nasty little sadistic killer in the same time 😂

Still a week before it happens

@@AgroSquerril wait youre getting a surgery!? I know i am probably an idiot and didnt notice but what happend!? You okay?

@@krieglord kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acydmLyLtNLKZp8.html should answer most questions

I agree your health comes first good luck on your surgery

That's what I thought too.

Literally every person who reads into Cnidarian's

SAMEEEE You have no idea how afraid I was that the last species was some type of cockroach 😂😂

Even if they deploy...the cowboy hat?

@@scienceandponies that only works with space spiders, there's nothing a space roach could use that would avoid me getting totally repulsed and freaking the hell out.

Want to learn more? (Picturing kids stomping giant roaches as in Starship Troopers...)

maybe one of the extinct species mentioned in the massacre are space roaches at the end of the story probably the one that tried to take human slaves.

Earth is considered a death world because aliens first landed in Australia.

@@gonzotown9438 no, Earth is considered a Deathworld class 4 at expense of considering Australia. Australia counts as a Deathworld class 8 on it's own

"NO LITTLE HUMAN, DONT GO TO THE CANISTIO'S NEST!!!"

​@@nunocampea2395 "LITTLE HUMAN NOOOOO"

That moment when humans realize their in space Australia and try to nope out of there 😂

@@Allantitan the moment when the galaxy realized that Australia exist and noped out of Earth xD

I might be forgetting slmethinf obvious, but what is F.A.F.O.?

@@Danodan94 I am guessing it stands for "fuck around and find out," except I've never heart it before either so I'm not sure and the 'and' in the middle seems to not be represented.

@@amberkat8147 That sounds incredibly likely. Thank you.

i feel like we introduced them to that

Oh, in later stories on this line, the Space Otters are tech wizards and stealth operatives known for sabotaging digital structures and comms. Humans had a hacker encounter with them... they were found out with ease, and their attempts at implanting a virus in the human network resulted in the human network getting stronger and faster. No other race saw them until the Human Ambassador pointed them out. That was hilarious. Because to them, that's life. To us, That's a Tuesday

And they, in turn, find the rest of the galaxy cute.

@@Kualinarwhen there is a hat

I was thinking of this and realized AI art with the given description would be interesting.

He only does this minimum effort so he can earn money off reading somebody elses work. He gpt demonitzed when it was just text but now this makes the work "his". Shame we dont have many other HFY readers so thia guy pops up in my search.

@@Awesomewithaz want to start your own channel and run it for several years, and also record each story with intent, enthusiasm, and gusto? If so go ahead man, looking forward to your success.

@@Awesomewithaz Well, then I guess you never listen to music, or watch TV or movies then because they are usually just singing or acting out someone else's lyrics or screenplay, right? And who should believe that our President ever had an idea of his own, as he is just reading off a teleprompter the words someone else wrote.

I have said a few times that I wish we had some animators amongst Agro's fans. I'm sure the authors of the selected stories would love to see them animated. I've seen some really good fan animation of different shows, like Star Trek, Star Wars, and even some animes. I guess if I ever win the lottery, I'll get a studio started.

First of all a man-o-war is a siphonophore not a jellyfish. It's a communal organism not a single animal. Secondly (some species of) box jellyfish are way worse than a man-o-war, without treatment a sting will kill you and even if treated you're in for days of unbearable pain. Worst part is they are about the size of a grape, almost invisible and present in basically every ocean so anywhere you swim in salt water you stand a chance of getting stung by one.

And what do I say when there's an actual fleet of caravelas coming in the horizon?

@@heinzguderian628 if you can spot them, I had one go not far from me and never noticed, just call the attention of the life guards, identify the area, if confirmed, the area is closed immediately to swimming, just don't do it as a joke,

@@JoaoSoares-rs6ec thanks, but I meant an actual fleet of ships...

@@heinzguderian628 there are no ships classified like that anymore, actually there is one, more of museum than anything else and it would be in the news, well just say ship and caravela, navio caravela, make it clear our there will be hell to pay

It could be worse without the tuxedo

its even worse when you remember there are humans that share the same feelings towards them

How about a spider failing at using roller skates?

@@Allantitan remember Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? in the movie appeared something like that

I'm so proud

There are so many different species in these stories, are there like HFY wikis and stuff?

YOU DIE WITH FRIENDS OR LIVE WITH DEPRESSION -Yuman

same

The council of introverts agrees

Yeah it was the child of a ship captain and some of his crew were spider people. The kid wasn't afraid and when asked why he said it wasn't a spider because spiders don't wear hats. 😂

Yeah, he was lead technician, he was wearing a hat (a sombrero i think)and he was on his break.

same author IE me - so technically yes i based them off the same sort of species description. Olivarkians are my favorites of all the species i thnk of :)

@@valtiel2589 [documented contact]

Check the story with the title Arachnophobia.

Would you attack a alien with a funny hat before it started to speak?

@@rodrigoandorinha9259 Alien shows up.. Humans: *panic Alien: *puts on hat Human: "hang on a sec. i want to see where this goes"

oddly i am the reverse, jelly fish would get the butt of alot of..... tenteical jokes, and the spider with a top hat and bling would get a pass, tho god forbid he come out with a cowboy hat and 8 pairs of snakeskin boots. The wasp/bee, would be do they make honey, and how many moving parts do there mouth have. The mantisis tho.... yea... pass and the wear lizards hard pass more than a few not fun run ins with gators.

You left out #4: Don't hurt the floofs.

The idea of not killing civilians is ridiculous. Sometimes it’s unavoidable. The war in Israel is an example. Lots of children starving, we’re told by a media that carefully avoids admitting this is due to striking Hamas’s logistics. Hospital strikes we’re told teary stories of children and patients being killed as if it was a terror attack. Instead of the truth that they are being used as military bases by Hamas and have tunnel connections into Israeli territory they launch raids through. We’re told of Israeli artillery attacks killing civilians, omitting that these strikes are counter-battery fire against Hamas rocket and cannon artillery firing into Israeli population centers. You see what I mean? Even just blowing up a tank factory is going to kill a lot of civilians. What you should say is not to intentionally target civilians themselves, as that is simply killing people for no reason. Although, being the recruits and logistics of a military and paying taxes into the military makes how much civilians aren’t valid military targets sometimes questionable to a degree.

And the #5:Allways use a funny hat while becoming friends

Its true though!!! Anything and everything looks less threatening wearing a silly hat! ^^

Can confirm, I'm dating several of them.

NGL, a giant spider in a top hat, holding a pimp cane, is going to very likely freak me out.

@@SH-qs7ee ever heard of angle dust?

I thought the komodo dragon had both plus some? In fact, I am fairly certain they have their own venom, enough bacteria to kill you in horrible ways but slowly, and enough remaining/festering and fermenting food remnants stuck between their teeth to kill you with poison. So they are venomous, septic and toxic.

Its actually both

@@noname-kx4cu Well the bacteria certainly doesn't help anything. The venom will just get the job done a whole lot faster, and makes death more likely.

A pissed off humanity?

Um, Godzilla, duuh!

but only if he wears a hat.
