No I don’t even really have that excuse because we do have the word “espèce” which would be the direct translation of species, but I think in every day language people would use them a bit interchangeably. For example also breeds of dogs we call races.
If I had to choose a race to be eliminated to get the alien tech, I’d go with potato sack. Some people might miss it, but I feel like it’s time to let that one go.
I agree. The three legged race is too much of a classic. The feeling of flow state when you and your partner get moving quick is too good. Sack races never feel fun. Just painful.
Seriously? You’re that mad at me for telling the truth? For all I know, you’re using bots to downvote me and try to get revenge against me on the internet.
Well it might make perfect sense from their perspective, there might be a million alien species on the galactic council who all agree they don’t want to deal with a species that won’t purge at least one race.
It’s unlikely but possible, we have literally no way of knowing or really guessing anything about how an alien race or empire might think. They might be shocked and confused we don’t kill our enemies children, bemused that we ended slavery, disgusted that we don’t torture criminals for sport…
An even scarier thought is that we might agree with them in a hundred or thousand years, it seems impossible to imagine but to me it seems impossible to imagine slavery was ever a thing or that they put criminals heads on pikes for everyone to see.
As there’s only one race, I guess everyone who chose anything but none gets the human race symbol (???) tattoed on their face. Still would be fun to see who chose to have other humans killed.
Now, if the OP in 4chan meant ethnicity, that’s a different story.
The definition of “race” varies widely between different demographics and contexts. In a biological context which you seem to be insinuating, “race” is either nonsensical or an ancient synonym for species.
I legit question why people should be morally condemned for choosing to have others killed. It’s too important a survival mechanism to just dismiss with morality like that, and claiming it’s wrong violates the human right to freedom of thought. Humans are allowed to hate each other. They’re allowed to want negative things, even to have others killed.
The premise itself is self-defeating because it uses the act of labeling people who make a choice to be targeted for violence and death to defeat the concept of doing so. Its use legitimizes the practice even to criticize it. Humans have to select other people to be targeted for violence because it’s ultimately the only effective way to regulate behavior and enforce social norms, and refusing to do so destroys societies.
People need to stop judging others on their thoughts and feelings and start focusing on their actions.
how about the Abu Dhabi Tour? A week-long stage race on the least interesting terrain on the planet. The first stage frequently has a finishing straight that’s 60k long.
First of all, not helpful to any conversation. You just want to announce to everyone your personal issues. Cool. No one cared. Downvotes.
Secondly. There is plenty to hate about 4chan but why curated snippets? It’s an old school anonymous forum that is chaos trapped in a site. In all of that is occasionally interesting discussions, art, and insightful looks at the human condition. And racism and horribleness.
It’s Like saying you hate corn so you don’t drink any juice, don’t use gasoline, don’t drink vodka or whiskey. It’s a lot of things, but here someone has curated a snippet of the chaos they found interesting. It no longer is 4chan but just a piece of something.
If you don’t like this idea then sure whatever but it’s no more 4chan than this is a text to you.
Yeah and ethanol is basically corn on the cob and Caitlyn Jenner is still Bruce. Nothing ever changes and everything is exactly what it was. That’s why you are just a clump of cells with only a mouth and and asshole apparently.
Thank you! I couldn’t remember if people started out as just assholes, but I thought they did, but I went a bit further into the development of the zygote figured it was about the same. It’s a much better burn when I actually remember that.
Always fun when you got to remember advanced biology throwing out insults that can get you punched in the face.
