Thank you 💙💚❤️ for all your effort & the time you put in when uploading this. It is really truly appreciated 🙏

I enjoyed this story immensely 😁

[rmartinson]

Not gonna lie, I laughed out loud that the AI image for the wolverine bursting out of the snow was just X-Men's Wolverine with an actual wolverine's head 😂

[nelsonchereta]

But now let me tell you about the most terrifying part of my homeworld, where nearly every living thing is dangerous and wants to kill you. This is Australia...

[sunshinecarnivores]

Seeing an orca EAT a shark would probably give the entire class a heart attack.

[Kaliburz]

And that is just the wildlife... she didn't cover tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes & earthquakes.... 😊😅😮

[johnfisher]

Julie should have shown them a picture of a Honey badger, because we all know Honey Badgers don't give a shit :)

[robertjames]

Student: "But... how did your species ever develop civilization? Or spaceflight?? With all those killers around?!"
Julie: "Well, they all mostly avoid us."
Student, confused: "But why would *they* avoid *you* ?"
The other students went pale at the sight of Julie's face... where the grin just got wider, and wider.
Student, gulping: "Um... that shark that you caught. Why? Why did you catch it?"
Julie, still grinning: "Because they're delicious."

This gave me strength. When the aliens come I’ll be wearing a T-shirt that says “Welcome to Deathworld, good luck!”

Australian here. I remember while living in New South Wales, someone killed a king brown snake that had apparently taken up residence under my caravan. I wasn't anywhere near as upset about it as I probably should have been. Funnelweb spiders are the only Australian animals that I am genuinely afraid of, because I think they really hate humans. Their venom specifically targets humans and higher primates; it is harmless to most other animals.

[leslieholt]

Now that was a good story. but she didn't mention rinos or mosquito and she didn't get a chance to show them what a big cat really looks like. Good thing there are no dinosaurs left. They would never have believed that one.

[condorboss]

Other student: "What do you mean about humans being most dangerous."
Julie (switching to an image of the inside of a large building): "Well, in a place called Canada, they have a game. They call it Hockey."

[Alverant]

"In the continent of Africa, where humans first evolved, we have the hippo." *Shows video of a hippo yawning showing its huge mouth and big tusks*. class screams "Don't worry, it's a plant eater." *Video shows hippo crushing a watermelon in one bite* "They have a bad temper and is one of the deadlier species in terms of direct attacks."
Teacher: You said it eats plants?!

[davidorf]

Just wait for show and tell where she brings her pet cat to school LOL

[dylanmiller]

There is a lot reasons we can wind up dead. The fact we survive at all is a miracle. For everyday we live we face 1000 ways to die.

[taun]

Good thing the Instructor stopped watching before she showed the vicious, blood thirsty Chihuahua!

[ryanhampson]

“Oh and we have these things that are covered in fur with four legs, long teeth, they hunt in packs and eat primarily meat.”

“Oh no, you must be terrified, what do you do with those?”

“They live in our homes and sometimes sleep on the same bed and they are our best friends.”

[richardfarrer]

But don't worry about snow. We have these things called volcanoes, where molten rock pours out. That will melt any snow around.

[moneytyler]

Imagine this was true, it would explain a lot why aliens don't come here, lol.

Alien 1: "Why does everything on this planet want to kill us?"
Alien 2: "Oh, that's space Florida."

[Jan_Koopman]

If I were Julie, I'd've given it the spin:
"OK, so, originally, I was going to tell you about the actual dangerous creatures on my homeworld, but now I've seen that your bar for dangerous is very low, so I'll first go into how we keep the "beasts" that you call "dangerous" as pets, and *then* talk about some actual dangers."

[Praxus]

lol. "You survived earth. You pass."
