What Lordslowpoke said. It's reactionary bullshit against the 'humans are weak/average' thing. Which is what makes it mind-numbingly stupid. Because it doesn't solve the problem, just makes new ones.

It's not all about that. One of the better ideas is "what traits do humans have that might be overpowered or rare compared to the universal norms of sapient life"? Since we don't have any way of knowing that it's all speculation, but there is most likely something exceptional about humanity.

Most of the Humanity Fuck Yeah stuff I've seen leans towards that something being 'everything'. :/

[Dutchling]

Meh. Still seems like a viable story/plot/setting/whatever idea to me.

Well based on current data we're the most awesome thing in existence. That could change as we explore the universe, but hey.

Today, I learned that not only does D&D's size progression work better for... portions of the anatomy... than for the creatures they're attached to, I also learned that the relevant part of a blue whale, if you needed to stat it individually, would probably be Medium with Powerful Build. How could this happen?

[Eotyrannus]

I'd like to see you try to... use your portion of anatomy while in midwater and without any arms or legs.

However if it's proportionate to body size, then barnacles's portions of anatomy rule the universe.

[Taricus]

What I want to know is how on earth did you even figure that out in the first place @Bauglir

[Bauglir]

Well, somebody on /tg/ posted a list of hypothesized sizes, which turned out to scale by the same factors as the canonical overall size categories (that is, each time you go up or down a size category, your dimensions go up or down by a factor of 2). Just to check, I then looked up a blue whale's relevant size, and it was actually exactly perfect (while a blue whale is actually much too large to be Colossal by their guidelines). 8 feet, incidentally, is about right for a Medium creature with Powerful Build, or the very small end of Large.

"Humanity Fuck Yeah"

Well, to be fair, we have encountered exactly zero forms of life that we can't kill efficiently.

That's only true if you believe the NWO propaganda that the SCP Foundation is actually fictional.
