Editing Humanity Fuck Yeah (section)

==Why we are awesome==
Many glorious hours of dedicated hard work were given to these threads, the finest lines of which would make any xeno race run to the edge of the known universe, even if the humans were still in the stone age. Reasons why humans are such a threat to the rest of the galaxy are various, but a good deal can be summed up in the following list:

*'''Our Creation''' - We were created and we THRIVED on all range of extreme environments all over the Earth, from the infernal heat of Africa where everything is trying to KILL YOU! '''ALL THE TIME!''', to the frigid apocalyptic wastelands of the North and the Ice Age where survival depended on constant invention and ingenuity. Fuck, the lowest recorded temperature in Canada (which most of America thinks is home to a bunch of pansies), where people live, is about that of [[Mars]], 33.9 million miles further away from the [[Sun]] than we are. Aliens usually evolved on some herbivore world or become less "on their guard" due to centuries of living away from nature, not troubled by survival.
*'''Our history''' - Humans have been getting better at killing each other basically even '''before''' they made stone axes, and we got [[awesome|better]] over time. You think proud warrior races have shit on us? Spartan style training they undergo makes only a handful of survivors. No matter how good they are, we'll just drown them in conscripts. We also nearly went extinct once, BECAUSE A '''HUGE''' VOLCANO EXPLODED, making us only have about 5000 INDIVIDUALS left and of them ONLY 40 PAIRS were BREEDING ONES. Did that make us quit? NOPE. Only about 70000 years later we had 7,4 BILLION INDIVIDUALS, having 100 TIMES more biomass than any other large animal species in the history of our planet!!! That is a [[Promotions|hell of a lot of breeding]] <s>(which has also made us have a very low genetic variety almost making us inbred but not quite. BUT STILL)</s>  NOPE, after some time the amount of random mutations in generations following have restored the diversity, which had an added benefit of "flushing" the old traits and selecting for new ones. Viral weapons engineered to target us along with superior military weaponry? 500 years ago the native populations of America got reduced to a tenth of their original number due introduction of foreign pathogenic agents and european conquest wars, Coronavirus and Independence Day got nothing on what they endured, they were used as the lower menial caste for generations, yet in half a millennium they recovered their numbers, mixed with the conquerors, learned most of their technologies and social achievements and finally threw their foreign overlords out of their territories and are in the process of catching up with the developed world, buenos dias señor! (You can see the same pattern in India, Africa, etc, aside from very specific incidents not even humans can wipe out humans) With The moral of the story is that do not fuck with us, xenos. No matter what you do WE WILL SURVIVE. And after a while: WE. WILL. THRIVE.
*'''Our bodies''' -So-called "apex predators" like lions, bears and sharks are relatively harmless compared to us. Our blood is literally made of iron. We're the ultimate omnivores, we hunt down, kill, burn and fu-{{BLAM}} {{BLAM|[[Furries|Heresy of the highest order!]]}} eat absolutely anything, sometimes to the point of ''rendering entire species to extinction'' (Woolly mammoths, which are basically fucking huge elephants on steroids, learned this the hard way. And, contrary to what ''Jaws'' would have you believe, sharks are also getting the same genocidal treatment, as they're now a critically endangered species all because ''we eat their fins for fancy soup''). It's as if we are Tyranids without a hive mind. And if that piece of meat has parasites in it, or if that vegetable tastes a little too bland? No problem, as we have a little something called cooking: Just ''Burn'' it before you eat it! Kills the parasites so you can digest them, and also makes the flavour a lot better. We also, in a direct fuck you to Darwin's laws, have the reputation of consuming different kinds of toxic chemicals yet still remaining alive, all for the sake of the experience of consuming it: the most notorious of which is Alcohol, one of the most volatile, flammable, caustic solvents in chemistry that is for all intents and purposes, POISON. It's an instant [[Exterminatus]] for all bacteria and microorganisms, and a VX-like neurotoxin to invertebrates, arthropods and almost every other small animal. Why? Because it's FUN! We use nutmeg, a hepatotoxic hallucinogen (in higher doses anyway, although it contains chemicals similar to [[Spook|MDMA]]), because it's TASTY! If we have a headache ''after'' ingesting alcohol, we take acetaminophen, ''another'' drug that's a fuckyou to our liver that'll kill many other mammal species on the planet.
** Something that's also tend to be forgotten nowadays is that our ancestors were known for their extreme amounts of endurance. We used to walk for ''miles'' nonstop towards absolutely anywhere, and this physiology that evolved for a nomadic lifestyle is the reason for humanity spreading all over the earth when other terrestrial animals tend to stay only within a single biome. How do you think we were able to cross the inferno that was the Sahara (even as late as Pharaonic Egypt, the Sahara was significantly smaller than it is today; when our Paleo/Neolithic ancestors were first leaving Africa, most of the Sahara was still highly productive savannah), or settle in the infertile mountains of the North, without the use of modern amenities like cars, roads and trains? 
*'''Our mind''' -The most terrifying aspect of us would probably be our brains and technology. Our aggressive instincts combined with our intelligence will never cease to come up with better and deadlier ways to warp reality in our own Image, and to torture and exterminate the enemy, and such would probably seem like incomprehensible Lovecraftian Magic to lower species. Our modern tech would scare the shit out of tribal communities. We have exterminated a lot of species like the Dodo ''simply by uncaring accident'' (which is probably why '''we are <s>thriving during</s> an extinction event''' (for now at least)). What we can come up with scares the shit out of ourselves even. Think Nuclear Weapons and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction M.A.D.] for example.
*'''Our pets''' -Humans have this neat ability to <s>enslave</s> assimilate other lifeforms into their society as a symbiotic or commensialistic partnership. Wolves were initially picking our scraps, until a genetic mutation occured and we figured out behavioural conditoning to turn them into our own personal bodyguards and attack drones; this eventually created Dogs which humans now considers family while also moulding them into different breeds according to our aesthetic and material needs (same happened to Bovines to a lesser extent). We took Horses in and made them an extension of ourselves in order to augment our speed and strength (having draft animals just does wonders for human society). Cats, one of the most efficient and ruthless predators (kindred spirits anyone?) guarded our food supplies and acted as biological pest control, and are now beloved darlings that have been classified as an invasive species that kills hundreds of millions of prey animals annually. This does not even go into our latest genetic engineering efforts where we modify and create new life for fun and profit. 

As you can see there is a lot of material to roll around in these kind of threads. Humans may not be as powerful sometimes, just a serious player in the galaxy through economic superiority or science, but that's not the real "Humanity Fuck Yeah" thread. The real deal is us having our way with the galaxy as we see fit. Murdering billions of xenos, or fucking them if they're hot enough, taking their delicious alien babies and eating them in front of their parents, mining their planets to the core and moving on, leaving nothing but dead rocks in our wake. We march on, our mantra singing through the stars:
