Where's all those 4chan short stories about humans being the "monsters"/ kick ass.
It was written from the point of view of a deer being tracked by a human even when they were out of sight and smell the humans keep coming and they never got tired.
There was also ones written from the point of view of aliens.
Fuck I wish there was a forum version of 4chan. All the best stuff is on there.
From KYM
Reddit had the humanity fuck yeah subreddit which housed a lot of great short stories
Its still there with tons of content.
I wonder if anyone has scraped the text of that sub and hosted it somewhere.
I would absolutely love to read this
Alien ones
The latter is called deathworlders. It was written as a short story. The author disappeared for a while. When he came back, he started writing a whole web serial on the premise.
I also remember reading the former, though where is another question.
Throwing rocks is really useful too when you never get tired while running. So we'll chase down an animal for twenty kilometers then pelt it with rocks.
Animals: "ow! Ok, I get that this is a- ow! good huntin- ow! Hunting strategy and I'm too tired to- ow! Run. But this is- ow! Just humiliating."
Another animal later: "oh these ones just have very straight sticks, at least that won't be as bad as the rocks--WTF THEY THREW IT INSIDE ME!"
We really do break the balance of the game. Aimed accuracy of throwing things, high level detailed communication and social interaction, that same vocal range means we can imitate animal sounds to trick them into running off cliffs, can literally run animals to death, very high level intelligence allowing planning and tool use.
One or two of these would make us an op apex predator.
Seriously no other animal on God’s green, luscious, flat¹ Earth can aim with any accuracy when they throw. It’s only we² Homo sapiens.

- I understand and accept that despite my yes-homo lifestyle, my aim implies I’m no-Homo
Considering what we have done and are doing to the planet and life on it, we should have better just put that rock right back where it was.
Isn't "apes throwing things" why cobras developed the ability to spit venom?
Cobras probably existed looong before any ape did, so that sounds unlikely!
Yes, to defend against apes bearing sticks.
That's a neanderthal though. We offed them too!
It didn't really take off until we invented the atlatl. It's a specially shaped tool that let's you throw a spear farther - like that tennis ball flinger for playing fetch with your dog.
That's when we went "now I can kill that fucking water buffalo without getting close enough for it to wreck my shit."
Already has the best range stats out of all the classes, uses the intelligence stat to boost it even further.
Projectiles op please nerf
