I recently rewatched the video of the woman on the plane screaming that the passenger beside her wasn't human and it got me thinking about something I've seen.

I remember seeing a teenage girl in a small food store I go to address the guy behind the counter as 'human'. "Thanks, human." Stuff like that. I think she was just doing a bit or something but I thought it was strange.

I've been accused of this a lot. Even here. But I haven't thought this of anyone else. Some non-humans have more humanity than a lot of humans.

Yes, I've met a few pandimensional deities.

The video you're describing sounds like a variant on a capgras delusion, less like a normal thing

My ex would say this type of shit to people she didn't know, I'd say it was half "doing a bit", and half she is just a strange person.

Sometimes my wife does things like this at work to emphasize a lack of gender (or other) assumptions. Don't have to worry about pronouns or offense if you just talk to everyone as if they are the same.

I haven't heard about her doing it as much lately but at the peak of conservative banter at her work she did it to emphasize we have a gay son and a gender fluid kid as well still trying to figure out their place in the world, and bigotry was not tolerated around her.

Women are definitely a different species.
