“Its just me, my pointy wood stick and the rest of your mf”
Where’s all those 4chan short stories about humans being the “monsters”/ kick ass.
It was written from the point of view of a deer being tracked by a human even when they were out of sight and smell the humans keep coming and they never got tired.
There was also ones written from the point of view of aliens.
Fuck I wish there was a forum version of 4chan. All the best stuff is on there.

Alien ones
I would absolutely love to read this
Reddit had the humanity fuck yeah subreddit which housed a lot of great short stories
Its still there with tons of content.
I wonder if anyone has scraped the text of that sub and hosted it somewhere.
Seriously no other animal on God’s green, luscious, flat¹ Earth can aim with any accuracy when they throw. It’s only we² Homo sapiens.

Considering what we have done and are doing to the planet and life on it, we should have better just put that rock right back where it was.
Projectiles op please nerf
Throwing rocks is really useful too when you never get tired while running. So we’ll chase down an animal for twenty kilometers then pelt it with rocks.
Animals: “ow! Ok, I get that this is a- ow! good huntin- ow! Hunting strategy and I’m too tired to- ow! Run. But this is- ow! Just humiliating.”
Another animal later: “oh these ones just have very straight sticks, at least that won’t be as bad as the rocks–WTF THEY THREW IT INSIDE ME!”
We really do break the balance of the game. Aimed accuracy of throwing things, high level detailed communication and social interaction, that same vocal range means we can imitate animal sounds to trick them into running off cliffs, can literally run animals to death, very high level intelligence allowing planning and tool use.
One or two of these would make us an op apex predator.
uh yes, I can totally do all that!
That’s where the high level of communication and society comes in. Not every individual needs to be great at all of it.
high level of communication
Ah yes, I can totally do that, too.
