favorite shit humans do is when someone gets them a wearable gift (i.e. jacket or jewelry, shirts, etc.) the human wears it around the other one that gave it to them and is like “notice! wore for you! look! look!!!” and then the other human is like “yes!! i see! you look nice 🙂 i am happy i made you happy :)”
maybe it’s dumb but…….. love is stored in humans finding out we can make heart shapes with our hands in different ways and teaching it to each other and doodling hearts on your friend’s math homework and booping your nephew’s nose and saying i love you as a farewell and giving flowers meanings and holding hands and the heart eyes emoji and in each other
i cant think of the fact that humans send messages saying ’where are you? who are you?’ from earth to the giant and empty space all around us for too long because it makes me cry so hard and feel so human and lonely
things that humans have sent to space as a friendly gesture that make me cry my eyes out:
– whale songs
– sounds of footsteps, laughter and a kiss
– an hour-long recording of the brainwaves of someone who was, among other thoughts, thinking about what it is like to fall in love
– an illustration of two people holding hands
– so many sentences in almost 60 languages, including these: ’Friends of space, how are you all? Have you eaten yet? Come visit us if you have time.’ ’Greetings from a computer programmer in a small university town on planet Earth.’ ’Are you well?’ ’We are happy here and you be happy there.’ ’How’s everyone? We all very much wish to meet you, if you’re free please come and visit.’ ’Wishing you happiness, health and many years.’ ’Welcome home. It is a pleasure to receive you.’
calm down edgelords, the whole point of society is that it’s not survival of the fittest. literally the point is that we’re leveraging our collective strengths to lead to better outcomes for everyone. we’ve been doing it for a couple thousand years now
The survival strategy our species dumped all its skill points in is cooperation and community. Don’t like it? Walk into the woods and die mad about it.
The worst part of human adulthood is being your own zookeeper
I want to stuff a pumpkin full of raw meat and roll it around my enclosure, but I also know that I’ll have to be the one to clean up afterwards 😦
Take steps to minimize the mess! Put a cheap, disposable plastic tarp down in the area you’ll be rolling it around. And.. Maybe recognize your species-specific needs and cook the meat first
Actually, if we’re going for species-specific enrichment, a pumpkin may not be the best solution. We’re not built for pouncing on prey or batting it around. We’re distinguished by our persistence hunting and tool use
What you should do is put a pack of jerky on top of a roomba, go in another room and count to ten like you’re playing hide and seek – or use this time to find a tool to use – and when you come back, try to catch it by setting a trap or by pinning it down with a stick
When you want a greater challenge, have a friend drive an RC car full of jerky around the park, and chase it until it runs out of battery
Feeling Emotional about other human species right now
Can a planet support more than one species like humans or is one always going to eradicate the other through one means or another
“Humans are an invasive species” you’re thinking of the British, actually 💙
I don’t know how to tell you this but not every human culture is imperialist and destroying the land they’re on

Also acting like the human race as a whole is inherently Bad™ is just an excuse to try not to do better. “Oh that’s just the way it is” it doesn’t have to be bitch!!!
