    Wheeled earthlings are brightly colored, often ornamented as predators, and are clearly capable of killing – but they cannot feed themselves; they rely entirely on bipedal earthlings to suck food from the ground, prepare it, and feed them through tubes.

    Also: When a wheeled earthling kills a prey animal such as a deer, bipedal earthlings typically regard that prey animal as cursed and do not eat it, even though it is made of meat. Bipedals only eat prey animals that have been killed by bipedals, whether in the wild or in specialized killing structures.

      Even the ones that are based on an electrical metabolism mostly need bipedals to feed them. Although there is some evidence they can feed on their own with an alternative carnivore metabolism, as can be seen in this reputable earthing publication:

        Ah yes, The Onion. A well known Earthling cooking website. I have tried to ingest an onion once. It was unpleasant.

    They are made of meat! They blow air through their vibrating meat tubes to communicate. So gross!

      “We’re supposed to talk to meat?”

      “That’s the idea. That’s the message they’re sending out by radio. ‘Hello. Anyone out there? Anyone home?’ That sort of thing.”

      “They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?”

      “Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat.”

      “I thought you just told me they used radio.”

      “They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat.”

    They wear all of their squishy bits on the OUTSIDE of their skeletons. It’s like they’re asking to get injuries

    Sometimes males of the native species just pee onto the ground, they don’t even try to reclaim and drink it.

      Exactly! Why do some humans go out of their way to be the predator sacrifice?
