I saw a story like that once, humanity essentially had to walk around in biocontainment suits to keep from spreading everything everywhere while also keeping it a secret and letting the rest of the galaxy believe it was because humans were fragile and required specific conditions to exist.
I remember that story. Also the humans were lovely scavengers, always finding the best junk. Those who were on unfriendly terms got to see a human's face, exactly ONCE.
Story two basically says that the galactic health policy of quarantine management is very relaxed. With no policy to neutralize or suppress anyone yet our own bacteria is foolishly stupid.
Remember the return of the Apollo astronauts that actually landed on the moon and how they were kept in quarantine, poked and prodded to make sure they didn't bring anything back with them? It's kind of hard to believe any space faring species wouldn't subject members of an alien species to exhaustive testing to be certain their microbiology wouldn't damage their own. And any species that didn't permit such testing shouldn't be flying around out of their own solar system.
Ohhh MY... After the greys gave us a little nudge a few millennia ago, humanity who has only recently become a full member of the galactic community has already become so technologically advanced we can take the greys as a uplift client species? The greys are NEVER going to live that down.
Actually, it is even worse. Following the story told by the Ambassador, the Grays not only "uplifted" us temporarily, but were also responsible for the Bronze Age Collapse; thus wiping out just about all of the knowledge and tools they gave us. This means that humanity was uplifted, fell, and then rose again by its own hands. We made it on our own, and one can even argue that we could've ended up at the same level of technology (or possibly better) at the time of that GU meeting without them as we did with their interference. The Grays proved they couldn't claim an uplift, because they fundamentally failed in their attempt, as the net sum of their efforts were either no significant overall changes or actually detrimental. Suck it you extraterrestrial schmucks!
It sounds to me like we were already superior, but we were stuck in our traditions; a situation we've been in a few times. They showed up and triggered the creatives among us and, BAM! Bronze Age collapse, Iron Age, gunpowder... Then we discovered coffee and all hell broke lose. They thought they were uplifting us. But, as far as I can tell, they may have simply come across the remains of a more advanced civilization that had collapsed; or perhaps a failed colony of one.
it's not like there were no iron/steel tools in bronze age at all. They were simply harder to make (different smelting process, different blacksmithing process, etc) and gave less in quantity. Fun fact - we had steel tools first (term steel contains cr.p load of categories and subcategories), then we started making "iron" (just becouse we were experimenting with carbon content to see what gives best quality. "Iron age" means just that steel products were widely known and used, replacing SOME of bronze products, but not all.
First story started with a senior alien race trying to claim superiority and subjugation of humanity, ended with humanity flexing on everyone else about just how awesome we are. Some good HFY there.
Greetings Mentlegent for the Rhyhtm that is Algo Story 1: I thought it was gonna be more of them uplifting us and then us outpacing them. Which in a way I guess kinda did happen, but not in the way I expected. Story 2: 28 Days Later in Space
Re story 1. The bronze age collapse would be an explanation that the collapse of that society undid their uplift attempt. Though I like where they went there.
@@AgroSquerril I can't pay all my own bills each month, but listening to these stories helps me get through work. So I'm grateful and want to thank those who support you on behalf of those who can't.
Story #1. I thought we would demand "uplift support" from those dead beat grays! 5-6 thousand years worth plus punitive damages. I guess we only got the punitive part. Story # 2. We aren't space monkeys, we're the space rats! Cute but total forever quarantine.
The greys are a coincidence? No, that's bullshit. If we get to space and there are bulbous-headed, little grey men, society owes those "conspiracy nuts" a hell of a lot of apologies!
Story 1. The Sharlik demand patronage upon humanity. Humanity plays the Uno Reverse card and are offered aârtonage upon the Sharlik. Nice twist. Story 2. Humans : We want to be your friend. We are VERY sorry that our microbes, that are mostly harmless to us, are causing so much havoc, are so deadly to everyone else. We must understand your desire to NOT interact with us other than over the radio. We are feverishly working on various vaccines that we hope will eventually protect you from our microbes.
Lets all just admit it pointing out that they are the anal probbers would have royally messed them up especially with the supposed lack of contact, clearly hostile accounts from several people, apperently ridiculous power imbalance, and a decent chunk of humanity directly declaring war over the sin.
Might want to know what you're getting yourself into before you mess with Humanity. That's always been one of the bugaboos about interplanetary, let alone interstellar, travel. You can deal with the big stuff. But the microscopic stuff is everywhere and incredibly varied. And it's nearly impossible to detect ALL of it.
I can just imagine the evil grin forming on the Ambassador’s face at the end of the first story
Lok: "Wait, WA-"
Mike:"Yes."
Uno Reverse
One of the saddest endings. Humanity ends up being papa nurgle who just wants friends unaware we essentially kill all those who interact with us.
We have been chosen to sharing the sweet gifts and blessings of grandpapa nurgle. *Cough Pus And Rotten Blood*

Heretic spotted. Target found.
Claiming to have better weapons than humans...
Oh my sweet summer child.
😆🤣😂😹😆lol
"Stay awhile, for you are about to play with gods"
If humans dont have the most evil weapons then we will have a bigger problem
😂😂 Even if they do, it wouldn't be true for long.
Papa Nurgle bless us all! FOR THE PLAGUE FATHER SENDS HIS CHILDREN TO PLAY!

I think we should return the favor. And first blow them back to the bronze age and then lift them up a little.
If it's even true and not a lie based on human conspiracy theories

Grandpa Nurgle's blessings are many and manifold.
story 1 is just humanity playing the uno revers card
"In the embrace of great Nurgle, I am no longer afraid, for with His pestilential favour I have become that which I once feared: Death."
420.69 times the speed of light, humanity being cheeky.
The Captain must have let off the throttle just right
Seems very specifically targeted, as if that was an easy number to remember..
i was expecting more the civs they helped out dying out as the base for the argument, but wholly approve of the upmanship.

That speed tho? Nice.
I expected the video to end at around 3 1/2 minutes with the ambassador handing the Sharlik a headshot right there on the stage...
I would also like to say thank you to your tier five patrons, those couple guys I see in every video.
Its a pleasure

Alien: ew, human, they spread the plague
Human: i have token of friendship for you
Alien: oh, what is it?
Human: plague
Alien: ah crap
Blessed be father Nurgle
I like to imagine that the ambassador in the 1st story is the youtuber mikeburnfire.
Last story: "HI I'M FROM EARTH! HUG ME!"
Thank you for the video.
weapons are our speaciality!
-"lol" said human, "lmao"
Aliens: resistance is futile
Humans: Ooooo a challenge!
Nurgle has entered the chat haha

No, we should not tell them because they’re extremely obnoxious. Which is more annoying than their paranoia
