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
