   @clacke Machines would deem Earth the "Rust death trap"

     @hypolite Especially hot and humid places like Hong Kong. For a Swede it's supernatural how fast everything rots and rusts in this climate.

     I've seen things here I've never seen where I grew up.

     My parents are of that generation that believes you have to clean all the time to have a sanitary home. Here it's actually true. Dust works differently in this air.

     This is touched upon near the end of the Uplift Saga by David Brin, where the galaxy has basically three separate classes of civilizations that almost never interact because their needs are so different and they don't go to the same places: Oxygen breathers, hydrogen breathers and machines

     Another #HumansAreSpaceOrcs entry

     What if there are aliens out there but they subsist on entirely different substances and they’re just scared as shit of us and our crazy ass hell planet? Once in a while some alien anthropologist type suggests checking out the people on this inhabited planet out towards the galaxy’s edge. The other aliens just look at the naive academic with horror. No!! We do not go to that world. That is where the DEATH BREATHERS live. They recreationally consume poisons and are more or less composed of biological fire. Their atmosphere is made of rocket fuel. We must leave the DEATH BREATHERS in peace. Do not go there. Do not.
