It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!... ever... until you are dead!
Yeah, that's humans for you

MODERATORS
Humans Are Such Easy Prey is an awesome synthwave song that uses this clip in the beginning
His delivery of that line makes the terminator so terrifying.
Don't forget hungry.
Terminators would be a whole different beast if it got hungry
The immortal snail.
Who's the decoy human?
curious: why would the fast animal consider the weapons primitive?
Because they have guns and humans don't?
The real use of AI
The receiver is backwards and there are two ejection ports.
also, it's a cheetah with red eyes, wearing a jacket, and holding a rifle
Silly me, I thought you were trying to make a picture of an animal with a gun!
Amusingly, I didn’t have to make this. I just googled “cheetah with rifle” and hundreds of images appeared.
The two ports are for faster shooting and the backwards reciever is for faster bluetooth connections.
Maxolx / Kzin / Kilrathi - Always gonna start shit with humans, always gonna have a tech edge, always gonna be arrogant and convinced of their own superiority, always gonna lose.
I like the Hacan of Twilight Imperium. You would expect them to be another Kizin-like race. Nope, merchant traders.
Zap Brannigan tactics ftw
What episode's that from?
~~The one where he accidentally attacks the Neutrals by cutting a ribbon wrong and gets court marshaled AKA S02 E02 "Brannigan, Begin Again"~~
Edit: Oops, remembered it wrong! It's S01 E12 "When Aliens Attack"
Thanks!
You're welcome! I promise I got it right on the second try and you should definitely watch both of those great episodes 😄
I just rewatched all of the fox seasons with my gf, were on the movies now, but my god so much of the fox era holds up so well 20 years later.
I want to read more on the stamina of humans vs other species, what's a good read?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting Here is a starting point. :)
Note, it's a theory, so there are some arguments against it. :) Things are rarely black and white.
Here is an article that shows some contra points to the theorie, in case you want to have a look at that too.
The evidence for it is rather shallow, realy.
It's pretty clear that persistent hunting is one of those myths concocted by someone to justify a world view that humans are "more special" than animals and has no more scientific basis than the "science" coming out of the Disney movies in the 1950s about nature.
There is a man vs horse marathon since 1980, 35 kms/22 miles on rough terrain. There were 42 races, 4 times a human won: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_versus_Horse_Marathon
Yes, but:
Horses are ridden by humans so the horses have to carry not only extra weight of the human, but also the saddle, gear, human's water, etc.
Horses are mandated to stop periodically and mandated to have periodic stopped vet checks (rules now state that vet stoppage times are subtracted from Horse times)
Humans are NOT mandated to stop periodically and/or have health checks
There are places allowed for humans to have refreshments along the race.
