HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.

While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.

In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

This makes me wanna read r/hfy once again.

I've always preferred these short imagination-provokers to the long-form stories that are so common in HFY.

This chimp does not throw like a 10 year old: https://piped.video/watch?v=I7PN_0AALjc

But ok, maybe it was a lucky shot, but it looks almost like a handball throw (presumably with 0 training in throwing)

I mean, it didn't hit anywhere close to where it came from. All the chimp had to do was get it out of the enclosure to hit someone. With the amount of people filming, I don't think the odds were even that bad that there would be a video of getting hit by it.
