Humans are space orcs.

Iheartcheese@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 250d (5 replies)

Does that mean all the aliens are gonna be super hot? Because orcs are always the ugly ones.

It's all a matter of perspective!

Iheartcheese@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 249d

Well I see myself from the perspective of an orc doing some WEIRD SHIT with an elf chick.

RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com · 3 pts · 249d (2 replies)

This is very rude.

Don't be mad I'm a prettier orc than you

RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com · 2 pts · 249d

I'm not an orc just a very ugly human.

Can you imagine that being a dnd character. Just someone everyone thinks is a half orc because they're so ugly. Definitely been done plenty of times before probably.

The exact premise of the jenkinsverse.

The intro story is excellent, as are a lot of the fanfic.

Oh I remember this, thanks for linking.

I read some of the sequels too, but lost interest once it got a bit preachy.

Very fun concept though

If we make friends with a new species, we can pet them forever. Being eaten is just a temporary setback

tetris11@feddit.uk · 7 pts · 250d (1 reply)

This is why humans invented heavy petting.

dohpaz42@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 250d

Which always leads to seat wetting.

toynbee@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 250d

May I pet you forever?

Alien:Be careful, that fruit you're about to eat has specifically evolved to cause extreme pain to mammals, and it's nutritional value is negligible.

People: it's called a chilli and it's not even that bad

BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 250d

This is the case where "not if I digest it first" really comes to a test. I've found that chilli is good, and some fatty deep fried stuff (who am I kidding, I mean all) is sinfully good. But combine the two and you'll pay for your sins the next morning.

That's after the panic attacks the alien has because we breathe the incredibly corrosive "oxygen."

We'd have the same response to a race of aliens that lived in liquid ammonia.

I used to cut pineapple at a grocery store, before I learned about the enzymes i'd get chemical burns on my arms where the gloves didn't reach.

TWeaK@lemmy.today · 16 pts · 250d

It's the other way round. Pineapples were like "Screw this, Imma eat them back!!!"

Angelevo@feddit.nl · 13 pts · 250d

Eating food that eats you back sounds only fair to me! Besides, some proteins in our body need to be destroyed for us to stay healthy.

prettybunnys@piefed.social · 5 pts · 250d

Yes it definitely digests some of me on the way out.

The spicy helps me know I’m alive.

Zachariah@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 250d

pet a pineapple

BilSabab@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 250d (3 replies)

sounds like some cut dialogue from Enemy Mine

Agent641@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 250d (2 replies)

The film or the book?

BilSabab@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 250d (1 reply)

the film, I guess. Haven't read the book so can't tell

IronBird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 249d

nobody ever reads the book

ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one · 1 pts · 250d

Missing the motto of “I can stick my dick in it/it can stick it’s dick in me.”
