Starting at 4:56 , the part about humans drinking dihydrogen monoxide disappointed me. It is called a universal solvent, a feature which should have been stressed rather than just saying it was corrosive. Surely most life will use water. Perhaps the story should have discussed drinking ethyl alcohol for "entertainment".
The only sticking point for me is at 9:15 when he claims it’s laughable that one would invent powered flight BEFORE space travel. I’m afraid that totalled my suspension of disbelief.
bioluminescent communication? radiation-liking and photosynthesis? greater gravity than earth? fast regenerating? yeah, they are fungi that use radiation as second source of food...
Sigh, these HFY stories are somewhat entertaining, but some of the things that the aliens see as absurd are /more/ absurd to think that no other alien species shares them. Some of them are absolutely essential abilities that are shared with pretty much all known life and the absence of which would make life nearly impossible to sustain as we know it. And are sometime contradictory like talking about the impossibility of classrooms when the story takes place in a lecture hall.
It was a pretty Pointless 12 hour trade war and I bet it only ended because someone told him that if coffee prices go up what he wanted to do to Pence would happen to him

I gotta go start my second pot of coffee after this. 😂😂
I love the use of the plural form for one person.
Parallel universes.
8:01 talks about the absurdity of university classrooms while the story takes place in a university classroom.
He's right. Not all humans enjoy coffee. There are also humans who are more civilised and therefore abstain from coffe in favor of tea.
So happy for Corlax.😊
Arthur Ingrim (the author of this story and many like it) has a thing for singling out coffee...
What;s wrong with acclaiming one of humanity's 4 major food groups?
Enjoyed this story. 😂

“Actually 🤓” - human
Time to introduce these aliens to the concept of April Fool's Day! ❤

Wait till he finds out a himan passtome is make "the impossible into possible"
good story
Thank you! 🙂
It's not a _Law of Nature_ if it's wrong.... *A "Conclusion" is just the point where questions stop being asked.*
Now THATS how you make a title
Fishing by using themselves as Bait (Noodling?) ? Ice Climbing ? Body Building ? Kabaadi ?
In ice climbing is it easier to melt ice into a working hand hold or freeze a hand hold mold to make a hand hold.
No vaxx

Why do humans always drink coffee? Why not tea?
With Columbia 's tariffs , I bet that is extremely expensive coffee! Thank you, Donald, for bringing down the cost of groceries!
You do know they have already given in?

Please turn off the words they are distracting and not correct at all.
