science fiction

This fun Tumblr story imagines a scenario involving an alien invasion, that ultimately suffers many struggles by not anticipating the power of the earth's wildlife. Kind of fun when you allow your mind to wander down potential situations involving bizarre alien species, squaring off against hordes of bears or swarms of cicadas or armies of mosquitoes.

Perhaps humanity really is "moon moon" then. We never quite know what we'll get next from the wonderful and wandering minds of the ever entertaining Tumblr world. In this case, we've got a great little Tumblr thread that points out the inherent fascinating nature of the Sci-fi translation. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about becoming an ant god. 

One of Tumblr's favorite things to do is expound on human nature in discussions, essays and threads about the role human beings as team "hold my beer" in the universe. It's generally regarded, out of self interest and flattery that we're basically badass space orcs. These kinds of discussions go on to describe Earth as the type of planet whose wildlife could fight off an alien invasion. So in this context, the idea that a human ship would have a knife Roomba affectionately referred to as "Stabby" not only makes perfect sense, but sort of makes us want to get one right now.

This fun Tumblr thread points out how humans are absolutely team, "hold my beer." Tumblr never fails to get the strangest and most disorienting rabbit holes going. If you're looking for more gold from Tumblr, check out these Tumblr comedy gems to keep your day rolling.

An interesting Tumblr thread imagines what could happen with an alien invasion vastly underestimating the power of earth's wildlife, in the face of an attack. How about that bacteria, though. 

It's compelling and somewhat flattering to think of Earth as the most dangerous place in the galaxy, with humans being the only ones crazy enough to tame it. This thought brings fun ideas such as the idea of humans as super resilient space orcs, or the idea that aliens trying to invade Earth could be stopped by local wildlife. It's informative, fun, and somewhat self indulgent.

Good old Tumblr doing what it does best, when it takes thing to especially strange places. Maybe humans are nothing more than space orcs.
