I still find it hilarious that we though Komodo Dragons were venomous, then we thought they had septic bites, then we figured out that they actually have _both._ Edit: upon further research, apparently the septic bite thing is a myth? I'm finding sources that say both, but more of them say that it's a myth, so it seems likely that it is.
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.
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.
i like the basic idea of Humans being like space puppies. "yeah, they could destroy a planet in the time it take our ships to defend it, but look how cute they are!"
I wouldn't have any problems with any of those xenos but the moment a space cockroach appears I will totally freak the hell out and get them nuked. Please Agro, take care of yourself and hope everything goes well with the surgery.

Just so people know, if stinged by a man o war, immediate treatment is needed, most end in a hospital and there have been cases of fatality, no one goes into the water if those are spotted, word of advice in Portugal, never scream caravela, it's the Portuguese name for the man o war, if you actually haven't seen one, they are bluish, you are going to have lots of very angry people around you fast.
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.

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 :)
How to avoid freaking out humans: Don't take slaves, especially human slaves. Don't hurt or kill children. Ever. Don't kill civilians in military conflict. There may be rough patches here and there, but if you avoid those big three, you should be fine in the long run.
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.
As someone who just hade 4 surgeries in the past month I wish you a speedy recovery and comfort afterwards P.S. anesthesia can cause nausea when you wake up
I would LOVE to see all of them. Especially the cross between a werewolf and a komodo dragon, and a spider decked out in bling seems like it would be cute too! But the giant bee-wasp thing would be cool too, I do like bees. Too bad there's no sentient giant snakes on here- my imaginary friend when I was a kid was a 5-foot long green snake, like a python or a boa constrictor. (I know, I got along with other humans so badly even my imaginary friend wasn't human.)
FOR THE ALGORITHYM!!! author here, thank you once again for reading my silly drivel, i greatly appreciate it. hopes prayers and coffee infusions to you dear sir, get well soon :)
You say that werewolves are fictional? Challenge accepted. :-) Also, good story. I kept waiting for something adorable to pop out, but it’s nice to have the juxtaposition. Creatures that would terrify most humans being actually pretty cute and cuddly most of the time.
I find it funny that they weren't warned of humans proclivity for xeno/teratophilia and subject fascinations making all the information paradoxically accurate but in places completely wrong
This very strongly reminds me of the Love Death and Robots adaptation of the short story Beyond the Aquila Rift by Alistair Reynolds. Still one of my favourite short stories of all time, by my favourite author of all time.
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.
Thanks for your dedication, excited there's still gonna be TFOS while you wait! But if it gets too much, we understand if you cant keep it up, or if it starts to not make sense anymore. Good luck, o7 sir
I enjoyed the sound of your voice in the beginning of the video. Please use that more relaxed voice more often, it was very pleasant to listen to. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
What is actually interesting is that venom would probably not be venomous to organisms evolved on different planets due to differing protein structures requiring different enzymes.
Don't strain your self Agro. Fuck the algorithm! Humans are cute and cuddly, unless they mistake you for a threat. Then you learn, how they survived on death world unarmed. Our Father thought to arm us at some point, but He thought better of it. An armed humanity would have turned earth to a grave. Father may have approved, but mother would have some choice words for us.
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.
@@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.
I love everything about this story. Friendly species that are extremely peaceful. Personally I LOVE spiders and would be over-the-moon happy to meet a sapient one in real life.
"How to Avoid Freaking Out Humans" Act like you belong where you are, if you're running around screaming we'll freak out, if you're casually walking around and chatting we might need a moment to process what we're looking at but will usually be chill after a few moments.
And here we have a human volunteer subjecting himself to a jellyfish sting for medical research. Which brings us to the main difference between humans and the rest of the galactic community: Only humans would willingly do stupid shit like that.
@@derekstein6193 they set the bar pretty damn low on that scale. Probably tried taking a kid as a slave but forgot that old “mama bear mode” humans have
5:20 Wait, did you just say Praying Mantises are scary? They don't eat people (or even bite), don't look like venomous arthropods, and have the most cute and expressive mannerisms of any invertebrate I know of (except maybe octopi and jumping spiders). Mantids are awesome, and I have never met a single person who was afraid of them! On the other hand, the Olivarkis are STILL within the range of frickin-huge-but-still-plausible spiders at only FORTY-FIVE CENTIMETER LEG DIAMETER! (1.5 times the leg-width of the Goliath Birdeater Tarantula) Now, I love spiders (conceptually) because of their coolness factor, what they can do, and Spider Man, but I STILL have bad dreams on occasion because of this primordial aversion. On the other hand, I would love to have an intelligent, friendly spider friend to help me overcome this fear.
Fun fact: The Man-o-war is not actually a jellyfish. It is a siphonophore. Which is similar to jellyfish, but still distinctly different. Fun fact #2: For funnel-web spiders, there are a few different varieties. Only the sydney funnel web is dangerous. However as the males and females of the species have slightly different venom, it is only the males who's venom is actually lethal. Fact that is even more fun: Sydney funnel-web venom is not lethal to all mammals. In fact, the only type of mammals that is is actually lethal to is primates. Do you know how many different types of primates live in Australia? Just one.
I love the idea that the best way to prevent frightening humans is to wear a hat
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

Humans are scared of the Khattar, like humanoid wolf dragons? I think most will either find them cool or atractive.
Hope the surgery goes well and you recover quickly
"Komodo Dragon is a relative peaceful"
Relative to WHAT?
A pissed off humanity?
Um, Godzilla, duuh!
OMG the spider one though
Sending GOOD VIBES your way. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Hope your surgery goes well and no complications occur.
Love the various alien species and their accidental scaring the humans.
Brilliant! I would like to see you do "Humans are good friends and bad enemies"
this was a nice story and mate i hope ya go through the surgery well and have a good one
So adult humans are the wet dreams of aliens? Yeah I could live with that. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Describes the Khataar*
Oh no, the Furry community-
Describes the Khataar's opinion of humans*
OH NO, THE FURRY COMMUNITY!!
Thank you for the reading
Wait, you’re going under the knife? I will pray for your safety and the surgery’s success.
Oh! This is from the same author and world as Human Child Logic! The cowboy hat wearing spider is a reference!!!!
I love everything about this story. Friendly species that are extremely peaceful. Personally I LOVE spiders and would be over-the-moon happy to meet a sapient one in real life.
I'm going to be 30 this year but...
Hell yes, spidermount with a tophat.
Oh my god... When it got to the bit about the humans, it feels like each of these warnings had to be given because of failed attempts at flirting.
"How to Avoid Freaking Out Humans" Act like you belong where you are, if you're running around screaming we'll freak out, if you're casually walking around and chatting we might need a moment to process what we're looking at but will usually be chill after a few moments.
Please take care of yourself. That voice is a national treasure. Which nation? All of them.
the khatarr were not warned about furries
And here we have a human volunteer subjecting himself to a jellyfish sting for medical research. Which brings us to the main difference between humans and the rest of the galactic community: Only humans would willingly do stupid shit like that.
I don't know, there was that slaver space empire that just had to Fuck Around and Found Out.
@@derekstein6193 they set the bar pretty damn low on that scale. Probably tried taking a kid as a slave but forgot that old “mama bear mode” humans have
5:20 Wait, did you just say Praying Mantises are scary? They don't eat people (or even bite), don't look like venomous arthropods, and have the most cute and expressive mannerisms of any invertebrate I know of (except maybe octopi and jumping spiders). Mantids are awesome, and I have never met a single person who was afraid of them!
On the other hand, the Olivarkis are STILL within the range of frickin-huge-but-still-plausible spiders at only FORTY-FIVE CENTIMETER LEG DIAMETER! (1.5 times the leg-width of the Goliath Birdeater Tarantula)
Now, I love spiders (conceptually) because of their coolness factor, what they can do, and Spider Man, but I STILL have bad dreams on occasion because of this primordial aversion. On the other hand, I would love to have an intelligent, friendly spider friend to help me overcome this fear.
but only if he wears a hat.
Hey glad to have you back
so TLDR of the presentation:
Our planet gave us ptsd with nightmare versions of you guys, so please wear a funny hat to show you're friendly.
A good and expedient recovery my good man!
Biggest fuckin grin on my face listening to this
For the algorithm
For the writer!
Best of luck to you my friend sorry the UA-cam algorithm keeps your nose to the grind even when it’d be better to just rest
Fun fact: The Man-o-war is not actually a jellyfish. It is a siphonophore. Which is similar to jellyfish, but still distinctly different.
Fun fact #2: For funnel-web spiders, there are a few different varieties. Only the sydney funnel web is dangerous. However as the males and females of the species have slightly different venom, it is only the males who's venom is actually lethal.
Fact that is even more fun: Sydney funnel-web venom is not lethal to all mammals. In fact, the only type of mammals that is is actually lethal to is primates. Do you know how many different types of primates live in Australia? Just one.
Most people are not afraid of mantises. They're either indifferent or think they're pretty cool.
I had half my body covered in Man O' War stings. Most painful experience of my life.
Hope to be hearing from you again soon. You will be missed. Godspeed.
Should have mentioned the wasps that lay their eggs in living prey.
