Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

The keyword is 'exposed to'. We can survive exposure to space too, it's just that tardigrades can do it for longer. Therefore, we just have to leave them there. Or BURN THEM ALL!.

Most of the Humanity Fuck Yeah stuff I've seen leans towards that something being 'everything'. :/
Most of the HFY stuff I've seen published leans towards that something being "We're really, really good at killing things.".
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.
The Global Occult Coalition maintains its stance that the total destruction of all threat entities is not only possible, but a necessity for long-term human survival, and condemns the naivete of the SCP Foundation in attempting to contain these entities.

We can kill those just fine too. The only reason we know they're so exceptional is because they can last a week in hard vacuum before dying. You know what can build devices capable of supporting life for way longer than that in hard vacuum? Oh yes, humans.

We're also excellent at building, creating, thinking and a whole lot of things. Looking at it from here, humanity deserves a resounding fuck yeah.

When we finally discover interstellar FTL flight, we will also find out that all alien species are descendants from Water Bears we transpermia'd from Earth with comets over the years.

Actually, we haven't send any tardigrades to comets yet. I mean, those beasts can take a lot, but they are not immortal.

Killing them is trivial. The tricky part is leaving their host organisms alive.

...no, killing them for good is not that trivial.  Case in point: I've seen a strand of multiresistant pseudomona that pops in from time to time, even without having it's original host around.

Pretty sure MSH is referring to using concentrated bleach, or fire, or something. Something which will murder the hell out of organic life but can't exactly be used as medical treatment.

Yeah, but I'm not even talking about erradicating it in whoever's body, but about how it keeps appearing in other people even without whoever around.

You mean killing every single member of the species, so that there is nothing left to propogate?
