[id: ‘Being a human’ starterpack. there’s a picture of four people in office clothing cheering. text reads “I really need some water”, “*Has a family tree*”, “Help, I’m dying”, “Aah I love me some vitamins”, “I’d like one coffee, please”, “*Dies at the age of 120 or less”, “I can lift all the shoppingbags from the car to my house”, “*Having leasure time*”, “Nice weather, huh Karin?”, “Loves smalltalk”, “I’m having a cold again! probably because of the rain”, “I work for money”, and “I’m freezing to death without my clothes”.]

to add to this “humans are weird” thing
did you know that humans are the only species on earth with the ability to throw things with any significant degree of accuracy and force (apes can throw with about the force of a human ten year old, but cant lock their wrists well enough for accuracy)

and we just never really think about it bc its so easy and simple to us that pretty much all of our sports are based around the concept of throwing things accurately

so
what if the concept of projectile weapons takes most species FOREVER to get the hang of, or even come up with in the first place.
a human goes onto a ship and throws some trash into the nearest reclaimer, shouts “kobe!” and all the other aliens on board absolutely LOSE THEIR MINDS

I definitely didn’t know this about humans but it’s actually really neat
