From the underdogs of the galaxy to unstoppable defenders, humans proved that even the smallest creatures can rewrite the rules of survival. Who else is amazed by their ruthless creativity? 🌌💥
I'm not exactly sure what the lesson is in this Reddit story is but I'm pretty sure it's "Never Judge A Book By Its Cover, For You May Never Know What It's Contents May Uncover" 🤷
The last sentence ruins what would otherwise be a good story. The behavior of the genocidal alien race goes far beyond anything in the overwhelming majority of human history.
Only because we lacked the technically means to do so. There were or even are factions in human history and society who gladly would let loose the grey goo onto their enemy if they knew they themself would be spared by it. Heck, some individuals may let it loose anyway and say "After me, the flood" or "When I am dead the deluge may come for aught I care"
Reminded us of ourselves. AKA we are better than that. Because we want to be. But we have the capability to be like that. If the world wars thought us anything. It was that. We now look back at the world wars and decided. We dont want to be that.
The actions that happened under Genghis Khan, under Timur aka Tamerlane, by Japan's Unit 731, the German funny business that our YT overlords hate in WW2, the Albigensian/Cathar Crusade (in France), various Middle Eastern crusades (and the Islamic jihads that followed in their wake), the northern Crusades (Teutonic Order in Germany was a special brand of bloodthirsty), the frequent ethnic/tribal-based butchery that occurred/still occasionally occurs in Africa, the genocidal tribal warfare reportedly happening between the Native American tribes in the Great Plains of the USA before Europeans even showed up... And that's just off the top of my head. The genocidal alien race did what any of the above factions would have done if they had access to that level of destructive technology. _Especially Unit 731 and the German No-No boys._ Humanity has some very dark impulses we don't like to acknowledge, but I can totally see humanity recognizing the same dark impulses in another race.

Love to hear a new idea in hfy, sometimes things get real old. But relativistic beaming of nuclear blasts into your own mini quasar is pretty interesting
Alien: What do you mean?
Hooman: That was us if we ever let morals never dictate our actions.
"You are some crazy xenocidal maniacs, but you are so damm cute. So it doesn't matter!"
Honestly, that reminds me of humans too. Humans let cuteness override everything else.
What are we, fully sapient cats?
No matter how good you think you are, you're the villan in someone's story.
we looked in to a mirror darkley
We looked into a mirror and smashed it

@@TheSegert pearl habord incident if it was in space. that was the attack on the colonie. (that is what I suppose it reminded of ourself.)
Sounds like you need to study up on WWII a bit more deeply.

Bad writing
Bad comment.
Constructive criticism requires an additional amount of information other than "this bad."
Be better.
Can you explain exactly what problem you had with it?
