Humans are strange animals there is no doubt about it. While we put other living things in zoos to marvel at their odd behaviors or botanical gardens to observe their unique beauty – our species might fail to realize we are, in fact, the weird ones. From our big brains to our opposable thumbs there are a variety of reasons humans stand out from the rest.

Not only are we as individuals strange, but the way that we interact with the world around us. Someone on Tumblr posted a meme which evolved into a thread which highlights just how bizarre our abilities and limitations are. Imagine trying to explain some of these behaviors to an alien. Scroll down below and add your own hilarious human observations in the comments!

    I'm a Visual Editor at Bored Panda since 2017. I've searched through a multitude of images to create over 2000 diverse posts on a wide range of topics. I love memes, funny, and cute stuff, but I'm also into social issues topics. Despite my background in communication, my heart belongs to visual media, especially photography. When I'm not at my desk, you're likely to find me in the streets with my camera, checking out cool exhibitions, watching a movie at the cinema or just chilling with a coffee in a cozy place

    Actually coffee plant have been quite succesful. First caffeine to keep pests away. Then made us as slaves to cultivate it, water it, keep weed away just as an exhange for few berries..

    Honestly the "humans are space orcs"/"Earth is space Australia" genre of posts are the best thing about the dumpster fire that Tumblr has become. They are always highly amusing, especially the short stories. "You don't know you're from a death world until you leave it", as it were.

    Sometimes I think humans are suspicious of or condemn anything we enjoy. If we like it, it must be bad? Maybe it's because we found out tobacco isn't good for you? "Consumption of hot red chili peppers is associated with a 13 percent reduction in total mortality, a large prospective study has found." "New research show coffee improves overall health and longevity whilst fighting obesity." Some things we like are good for us!
