This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

They exploited the communication feature and are basically acting as one huge server wide guild of jobless arseholes having nothing better to do than ruining the fun for everyone else all day long.

Not a fan of this unit. They do nothing for ages and then when you’ve forgotten they’re there they hit a technological singularity out of nowhere and take out most of the ecosystem along with themselves.

Bro humans are leave tons of food everywhere and are afraid of mice.

They did ban dinosaurs for the same reason before tho. Humans will probably be next. Hold on, didn't they announce that already?

Humams are also an invasive species out of its original ecological niche. They were supposed to stay in Africa with the hyenas, cocodriles and lions keeping them in check.

Once humans learned to throw sharp sticks and not venture too far alone the threat of any predators is greatly diminished. The moment any kind of civilization formed there's no amount of hyenas and Crocs and lions that could keep humans in check. I doubt the civilizations of ancient Nubia lived in fear of predators.

People living in cities were fine, but rural folks in the northern hemisphere were certainly terrified of wolves and bears long after civilization was established in their area.

humanity basically started by gaming the system. maybe it's just our nature to lie and cheat and worm our way into position and out of consequence. maybe corruption is just what we're best at.

I think any creature evolved through competition and natural selection will end up this way.

Lying, killing, stealing, loving, building community, etc. are advantageous to survival at different times and in different situations. Seems the best survival tactic for us was to just keep improving and blending these.

We are at the point in our development where a lot of them don't fit as well anymore. But they won't go anywhere unless they impact mating success or stop being passed down for genetic reason.

I always say I doubt the Star Trek outcome bc of this. Any species able to unify and utilize all their resources to leave their planet is only going to be able to get there by conquering into one civilization.

Humans are the it follows of the animal kingdom.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Still love how humans can cover the most distance out of all animals, except maybe horses

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Plus humans are smart enough to steer prey towards natural barriers like cliffs and rivers and basically no prey animals are smart enough to see it coming. When possible this is more efficient than actually running prey down to the point of exhaustion.

We can run both horses and dogs to death and keep jogging

Horses are actually remarkably easy to accidentally kill.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

wait do horses just keep running until total exhaustion?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I think they lie down once exhausted, but will need medical treatment. It's a whole thing in the horse community.

Can't those things just trip over and die

If they break something, yeah.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You have to burst down the apeman with your alpha strike because you'll lose any DPS race due to its broken running mechanics.

Hyenas were quite successful in hunting us in our early stages. We found a remarkable number of sites that we identified as hyena dens, that have a shocking amount of eaten humans as well as other fauna

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How many eaten humans does it take to shock you?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Several hundred individual human skeletons per site, at a time when the total "human" population numbered in the low tens of thousands.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

This is why I don't get particularly stressed about humanity doing its best to kill Mother Nature, that bitch started it.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago

weights as much as a deer
same diet as a rat and a pig combined
biped like an emu
hairless like an elephant
otter-like obsession with bashing rocks
looks like a baby-faced chimp or gorilla, even when adult
OP intelligence and endurance stats

This shit is a fake! NO, THERE'S NO HUMAN TO CATCH UNDER THE TRUCK! And no, you won't become a human with a cat face and bunny body!

I always love these bits about humans being garbage animals that just walks our prey to death like a bunch of assholes.

[–] [email protected] 83 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Here's another one: humans are some of the only animals (even among primates) that can throw things, not just toss things around.

In other words, humans are cowardly pokers who aren't even willing to take on DPS enemies with honor

Not enough iframes to take on a DPS enemy 1v1

We should even the scales by teaching squirrels how to use guns.

I think the developers of Palworld are one step ahead of you

[–] [email protected] 64 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And in a game where ranged attacks are practically non-existent, save for a few ones able to spit venom or water under highly specific circumstances, the ability to just throw a rock and damage you while being out of harm's way makes the Homo Sapiens play literally a different game.

Fkn campers that's what they are!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I heard the devs are planning a major nerf with the upcoming climate disaster patch by lowering the population and cooperation stats way down.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

There's another team working on a Synth/AI DLC. Like the institute or geth. Should be cool!
