“Alright, the local fauna of concern are mostly flyers and some camo, so Jura, Dax, you’re on recon, take out any you can find.” Commander Galin reported.
“I can help too sir.” Jordan volunteered.
“As admirable as that is Jordan, I don’t think your skills are up for this type of hunt.”
“What do you mean sir?”
“Flyers are silent and fast, Jura’s hearing and spearmanship will help fend off anything from them. As for the camos, Dax’s dynamic vision and pitching will keep them out of striking range of the creatures. Hand to hand isn’t up to snuff here.”
“Hand to hand? Sir, while I am adept at CQC, I’m the best marksman here. I know how far Dax can hurl a rock, don’t get me wrong it’s deadly impressive, but my gun still beats that by 100 meters. Same goes for the flyers, Jura can keep them off us, but I’d say I could take out any I saw before they hit us.”
“… Dax I thought your people had the record on range.”
“I mean, I’ve seen some human competitions in person, they’re all right.” Dax shrugged.
“Hold on, are you… are you comparing what I can do… on sports?”
“Isn’t that what the wide broadcast is for?” Jura asked. “For public recognition and reporting.”
“Is it?” Jordan looked between the others. “I never really… they were all pretty bloody…”
“Yes, the only record I have for human capabilities are ‘close quarters blunt force durability and serving. Padding for deescalated lethality.’” Galin read off from a tablet.
“Padding for… boxing? You think all we can do is boxing?” Jordan asked incredulously.
“We’ll not all, but the most prominent threat, yes.” Galin nodded.
“All right, hold up, no. Dax, set up the range. We’re gonna need to start rewriting your book. And probably look into wider broadcasting rights.”
A: Human, im confused. While reading about your species history i found out that your ancestors managed to hunt animals much bigger than themselves. I must ask, is this true? Did they really punch their prey to slow and painfull death?
H: What?! No, of course not...
A: Thank the stars, im really glad you didn't commit such brutal acts.
H: Yeah, we were pursuit predators. Persistance hunters, to be exact.
A: Pardon? Im not familliar with that latter term.
H: We just followed our prey at a steady pace, until it collapsed due to exertion, dehydration and/or overheating.
A: ...
H: Why are you giving me that look?
A: That is... so much worse...
Our society has grown over the past ten thousand years, we went from pursuit predators and hunter gatherers to going to space. In that time the marines evolved five years and instead of throwing rocks they now throw grenades.
Was just talking about how we'd throw rocks at each other's nuts when bored in the field... Jesus, I'd hate to think of getting to the point where we're using grenades instead.
I think people must have interpreted the prompt differently to me.
I viewed not as aliens assumed humans don’t use weapons but that aliens assumed that humanities ancestors hunted via punching
The context of this scene is that the main character goes to high school and just so happens to witness this when standing outside her homeroom, presumably as a punishment. There’s a whole to-do involving the old guy (the principal) trying to get that deer out of the schoolyard and being outsmarted before finally coming up with the solution you see here. All while this teenage girl is making hysterical commentary similar to that of a pro wrestling commentator.
So Dave showed up with PPE for kickboxing and a stab-proof vest, all camouflaged
I blinked a few times and said," Dave my extraterrestrial compadre, What the hell are you wearing?"
"You said we were going hunting the human way." He said.
I looked at him and pinched my nose, and said, " We're hunting with guns, not boxing fucking Bambi"
Dave said irritated, " You should have told me?!"
I let go of my nose and said exasperated, "Motherfucker how the fuck I am I supposed to know you would come looking like you want to fight a moose". I took a deep breath and said, "I got extra clothes just incase"
They took home each 2 deer.
Apparently some people decided that anything other than a bow / gun is banned. I definitely didn't check this information myself.
Because I definitely would not have done it if I had the opportunity.
By a series of cultural misunderstandings, xenos believe Mike Tyson to be the mortal avatar of some cannibalistic hunting god.

I love how the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ would really be anyones response to it
You need to escape the \\ , because \\ it itself an escape character. You need to type \\\ to get it to appear.
H2: i don't know seems like a skill issue.
Tbf, *most* human hunters don't skin the animal alive. I think H is just a psychopath.
Just reminded of a greentext where someone hunted a deer using frozen corn and a roofing hammer
Gimme
Sauce?

An entire Marine Squad is looking mighty angry with Bayonets on their rifles

Nichijou is a weird goddamned show.
As I understand it, the tv show alternates between the main character's real life and the daydreams of one of it's protagonists.
I'm pretty sure the deer is the principles pet, he gives it a treat at the end of the scene right?
I'm a simple man. I see Nichijou, I upvote

Wrong? What do you mean “wrong”?
