Simple: we got annoyed by Death looking at us, and then MORE annoyed when stabbing it didn't make it stop, and we've never stopped trying to kill Grim since. His never-ending toothy grin in response only encourages us to try smarter AND harder.
I've seen it in an old children's short story: "Little Come-And-See." about a girl who is always curious and to whom everything seems new and wonderful.
Stare death in the eye, then try to stab it. I like that just as much as Terry Pratchett describing the angry horse in "Going Postal" as "Running like he wanted to bite the horizon."
Basically Wanna go high tech? Get starfleet captain. Wanna jury rig something? Mcguyver or guys from mythbuster Wanna survive wilderness? Bear gryll. Or guys from SAS.
I forget the name, but there is an hfy story that is exactly that. Basically a bunch of "deaths" from different species mingle at a bar, and start talking to the reaper. He mentions how he is constantly training to do his job and the other deaths don't understand, so he takes them along to a battle field where he literally fights the soldiers and doctor's souls to take the dying soldiers soul away. It's pretty good
Death: Human, I have come for y- Human: *stabs death* Death: ... dude, you already dead, I pre-kill you before I actually get here. Human: It... that doesn’t seem fair at all. Death: You can blame Jesus for that one, fought me for three days and won.
I used to work in a Library. One day, I went behind the front desk to do some duty (don't remember what it was this was about 30 years ago. the guy working the desk told me if I approached him again he would kill me. I never saw him again. I did go to my direct supervisor and report it. After that I was interviewed by the Office of Special Investigations (OSI). I hated it. Before that, we had been friends. I still hurt over that. Thing is, his threat made it impossible to do my job. Before that, we used to go out and get coffee and donuts together. I'm inclined to think given his age, he may have been suffering some sort of cognitive decline. He was once a railroad engineer, and I really enjoyed his stories about his former job.
Hive mind trying to understand non hive mind species is always fun. especially when said hive mind doesn't really have a problem getting along with them, just wants to understand these strange creatures who don't even have a hive mind.
In oz we call it childhood. I could steal a car before I could see over the dash board. I killed my first taipan before I had pubic hair. I blew up my first stump with grandpa when I was 8.
Ah, nice to see the future generations of humans still kept our natural resourcefulness of use it to survive and thrive. [Edit: For the Algorithm and for the other sock.]
Yeah.... not going to happen if you look morons of today. These dumb fucks could not get fire started even if they had lifter and gasoline, let alone if using flint and even more so rubbing sticks together. 99% of the human population will perish when shit hits the fan and most of them during first 3 months. Only ones might be those that have military/survival training or go for long hunting trips into the wild and know how to use weapons... but after while those weapons ether run out of ammo or break down, witch point its back to sticks and stones, leaving just the fraction to survive.... and all of this could just be our star barbing solar flare that fries all electronics that are not shielded properly and chaos reigns..
It's weird thinking about how I'd probably scare some poor xeno shitless and usually I'm a laid back plant lady. Because push comes to shove I got some survival knowledge tucked away in my brain and would be damned if I don't go down swinging.
I want to know where the rest of this story could have gone. I love these short-stories, but as someone who loves a long narrative, it always leaves me craving more.
"What did these hairless apes have to deal with that makes them stare Death in the eye and try to stab it?" I've had cabbage, ask a cardiologist or a surgeon what I mean if you don't know. And I run hard every day, now that I'm recovered enough (that took a year or so), and I throw boxes to build the next clinic. I've no idea how much longer I've got, but I know it's already borrowed. I'm gonna use that time in the best way that I can even imagine. That's what I do. That's what WE do. HFY in a nutshell.

Sci fi story I read years ago, creatures from a different dimension that seemed to be vampire like, a guy buys the largest hand gun every made, asks if the gunsmith has anything more powerful. Gunsmith says, if it can die, this will kill it. Dude says, and if it can't die? Gunsmith says, it will wish it could.
So I am not entirely sure how it translates to external heat, but fever at 42 degrees Celsius is when we start getting brain damage so I don’t think we would last in 50 degree heat for long… also we don’t do well in anything below 10 degrees without heavy clothing. So unless our deathwolders here have been augmented somehow, I think those numbers are a little exaggerated.
Remember our bodies have ways to try to keep us at a safe core temperature. Those temps are actually survivable for a certain amount of time. They will need to take action to continue to survive at the extremas but it’s vary possible
@@user-mu8ok5xf8d Yeah but if you are telling an alien "we can survive in temperatures from 0-50 degrees without heavy clothing" they probably don't understand that you mean "for a certain amount of time and with the possibility to take actions that cool us down/heat us up"... As I said 10-42 is more honest in the impression it gives.
@@derpionderpson1424 as long as you know what to do a human can survive indefinitely in 0-50 Celsius areas given a supply of water and food are sufficient. We only need heavy clothing if you want to survive long term beyond that range. For 0-10 Celsius you need a well insulated shelter (natural or artificial) and a supply of food and water. For 40-50 Celsius you need to find/create shade to hide under for the day move and gather supplies during the time just before sunrise and a bit after sunset.
Not even to mention, that one of, if not THE, most popular video games out there is Minecraft. Which is literally horror survival if you look close enough.

"Dancing hot flower" is certainly a new way to say fire.
yup
ive seen it used a few times personally
The animals in Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" refer to fire as the red flower.
I've seen it in an old children's short story: "Little Come-And-See." about a girl who is always curious and to whom everything seems new and wonderful.

That' just some epic wordsmithing from him.
