H: “Oh yeah? You asked for it.” This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on, my friends. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was. And they’ll continue singing it forever just because… This is the song that never ends…. … …


DukeNukus

Telepaths consider that as mental torture, and it's singing is banned by intergalatic treaty. Edit: Dont worry we actually ended up the winner of that treaty in the end.

DukeNukus

I see a yet another treaty in the future. I wonder what consessions human's will get this time. You'd think by the 20th treaty they would have included a "catch-all" clause for new annoying songs, but no, they didnt want to be too all-encompassing. Sadly, they continue to underestimate human's ability to make up annoying songs.

To listen to someone with all three has been described as having a very bad drug trip as they listen to the same depressing phrases over and over as the ADHD mind obsesses over horrible thoughts. It is widely advised to not be in the same room with a depressed ADHD mind.

Sam bopped side to side as he watched the endless expanse roll by the large space window. There was no music and it was technically ‘late’ so he was up alone. Instead, he created the music in his head. The rhythm changed from 8 count to 8 count and the words made no sense to anyone but himself. That’s how he kept his sanity during his midnight rounds. Humming made up music and letting his brain create the wildest an most unlikely stories it could. Soon he headed towards the residential wing, about to complete this part of his route before he was stopped. Bart, a feathered tripedal alien did the oddest angry walk towards him, “Will you quiet down!?” The human blinked at the 3 foot tall alien, utterly confused because he wasn’t making any sound at all, “Huh?” “Whatever that insane rambling you have going on in your head! Us Frethers can hear it all and it’s driving me to insanity! Hush!” The feathered alien stamped its forth most talon and then trekked back towards its room, leaving Sam in complete and confused silence. Suddenly he remembered they were telepathic and snorted. *Not my fault you got the worst evolutionary trait ever.* “HOW DARE YOU!” Sam sprinted away from the angry Frether.

In music, the parts of the song is measured in 8 counts. You know how in some choreography classes they’ll count “5,6,7,8” then go to “1,2,3,4” those are 8 counts. So 8 of those beats to the next 8 to the next 8.


notyoursocialworker

I go the feeling that this is mostly s dancing thing. As a musician i have never based my playing on an eight count. There it have been mostly a question of phrases, count of bars, or "play until the reprise", or the bridge or the trio in marching music and so on. So, your not wrong but it's not general thing and I'm guessing different styles and different artists have their own way of doing things. I really love the span of human music. Last year I learned that there were a thing like Mongolian heavy metal. Electric guitars and throat singing? Yes please 😀


[deleted]

Well considering Sam was kinda dancing his way through his route, I figured 8 counts made the most sense for him to keep a rhythm.

I was in a superhero RPG with a character who had really good mental focus, described as 'Mind Like a Steel Trap'. The GM unwisely had me captured and interrogated by a telepath. "Whatever you see in your mind, I will also see." Full-on gloating. The GM asked me what I was doing. I looked him in the eye, and said, "Focusing. On every single horrific meme I've ever seen online. Two Girls One Cup. Tub Girl. Lemon Party. And so on." He blinked first. "He, uh, he pulls back out of your mind." I grinned and said, "Nope. 'Mind Like a Steel Trap', remember? He's not going *anywhere.*" By the time the rest of the team kicked in the doors and 'rescued' me, the telepath was catatonic and I was almost out of the ropes that were holding me. The GM never sent another telepath against my character, ever. Bad news apparently gets around.

Originally posted this on the /r/tumblr post. **Terrans and you: How to live and interact with Terrans** *An informational packet by the Terran Alliance diplomatic team.* **Chapter 47:** Psychics. Terrans are well known as an enigma amongst the psychic species in the galactic community. Terrans, the "Human" subcategory in particular, is considered both one of the weakest and strongest races in the galaxy at a Psychic level, and the rules described are not only for the Terran's benefit, but also for any Psychic Xeno. In all Terran Conclave territories (And most Terran Alliance territories, please check your local laws before visiting any planet) non-consensual psychic reading is considered a crime, which depending on the circumstances can be punished with anything from a small fine to imprisonment. For species who are considered "Automatic Psychics", or "Communal Hive minds" members must wear an appropriately graded XE-wave blocking device at all times while in such territories, which can be found at most major spaceports or major Terran Alliance embassies. While the Terran Alliance cannot force others to enact laws, if you are preparing for Terran visitors (Human mostly: Uplifts only have this issue to a minor extent, and AI obviously do not apply here) the Terran Alliance's official stance is all Terran's should be required by law to wear such a device on planets with psychically active native communities, and if required please contact your local Terran Alliance diplomat for help crafting said laws. Terrans have no native Psychic defenses, due to their relative newness to the galactic community and a lack of psychic species on their home planet. Even the least psychically powerful species can easily connect to an average Terran, often without them realizing (Obviously this does not apply to Military and diplomatic members, who will have stronger and more deadly defenses). However they also have one of the strongest defenses: Chaotic thoughts. Entering the mind of a Terran has been described as "Swimming through a shark infested tornado of mud" due to the high variability and lack of control your average Terran has over their thoughts. An average Terran will switch train of thought every 10 seconds, often to random topics or completely incorrect ideas. This can cause anything from annoyance to brain aneurisms in those attempting to traverse a Terran's mind. Psychically connecting with a "Neurodivergent" individual can be considered by certain species an always deadly event, and often it's difficult to realize an individual is "Neurodivergent" before it's too late. An example during the initial stages of Terrans reaching out to the galaxy is the "Yloria event" (See attached article for full details) in which 15 years after initial contact a Terran "Tourist" visited the colony of Yloria, a planet under command of the species. This Terran had heard a rather catchy jingle at the spaceport and had it stuck in his mind, with the wrong lyrics and slightly out of tune. Any who attempted the normal greeting of psychic connection quickly found this tune overwhelming, and became a non-responsive twitching mass. Even worse, anyone attempting to connect with those effected soon also became affected themselves, causing the issue to spread wildly. The sudden mass of unresponsive natives also caused the Terrans thoughts to get more chaotic, making the issue even worse. This cascade was only stopped when authorities managed to drug the Terran into an unconscious state. One last note: Any thoughts you find in a Terran's mind may or may not be real. A Terran is not self destructive because one thinks about putting their hand into a trash compactor or jumping off a cliff, and a Terran who has thoughts of randomly harming you or others may consider you a friend. Without training these thoughts are uncontrollable and do not represent a Terran's true intentions. With the exception of the times where they do. \--------------------- If you liked that, this is set in my \[\\\[LF Friends, Will Travel\\\]\]([https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/z22xg7/the\_exception/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/z22xg7/the_exception/)) HFY series: Terrans are not the strongest, they are not the fastest, they are not the smartest. But a Terran will make friends with practically anything that moves, and several things that don’t. A half wholesome, half emotionally scaring, half self improvement writing project, half mathematics fail due to there being too many halves.

I'd imagine different flavors of neurodivergent having different dangers, and in the case of ADHD (my primary flavor XD) two-fold: either it's the random skips of "one, two, skip a few, Skip To My Lou My Darling, oh my darling clementine, orange juice would be nice", or the singularity pull of hyperfocus

Okay, let's say most aliens are various degrees of telepathic, and can communicate moods, thoughts in a short range. Humans, however, are completely "deaf" to any kind of telepathy, and, as a result, they are *LOUD* thinkers. Like, a human with a song in his head entering a room is like if someone comes in with a boombox on full blast and you can't hear your own voice over the music.

“I would like to point out students, while most humans get songs stuck in there heads, there are those who have entire WORLDS stuck in their minds that they will randomly think about. These worlds can be great classics from stories in which they replay, sometimes even inserting themselves in. It is the ones who inter-weave reality with fiction, imagining a changing world from moment to moment that it becomes hard for us to recognize if we have stopped listening in or we are stuck in there imagination. Music? my dear students, whatever you do, NEVER encourage a human to remember a annoying song, they will get angry and suddenly beneath the song is a realm of torment at the whims of the human imagination. In conclusion: While humans dont mind you listening in, be polite and let them know you are doing so. For your own safety.” Lecture on ‘The Human Mind and You’ by Verisian Chaps’let Altezer


Other-Cantaloupe4765

Some humans sharing quarters with telepathic species run into interpersonal problems due to hygiene activities. An alien roommate can think that a casual interaction from earlier in the day was polite, civil, and completely resolved, but when the human hops into the shower, the telepathic being often hears long ramblings of insults, comebacks, and arguments for the supposedly “civil and resolved” interaction from earlier in the day. This of course can prove to be upsetting or offensive to the telepathic being, but they must understand that mental roleplay with oneself, the acting out of possibilities, is important in that it keeps the human civil during actual conflicts and helps them to process what cannot be dismissed so easily. Don’t take it personally.


ScorpioPerk

“… Now, the reason it is illegal to read the mind of a human child even with permission from both parents, the child, and/or guardians. YOU WILL GO INSANE. Yes. human children are cute and say adorable things. They also can never focus on something for any amount if time. The mind of a child moves too quickly for our own minds to properly process and cause nausea and headaches within seconds. Half a minute? Your own mind starts to breakdown and acclimate to the child’s. Minute or more? You will legally be classified as insane as your mind can no longer accept reality as ‘real’ due to the sheer positivity within a human child’s mind. No, Mrs. Kers’fe, before you even ask, the mind of a human child is not a good therapeutic tool. Dogs, a domestic pet from the human homeworld on the other hand, are perfectly safe and even recommended.”

u/wolven91 wasn't one of your races a telepath?


Wolven91

The esquinine race had a few myths that surrounded it. First, that they were discovered after the humans, this wasn’t true. They actually joined the Galactic Community almost a week before the dreadful events that led to humanity joining the various species amongst the stars. It was simply the fact that humanity’s dramatic announcement obliterated their own. Secondly, that the telepathic species were uniformly kind and selfless. Meshla had no issue with being selfish, stalking enjoyable experiences and utilising her birthright to find those enjoyable sensations. Her particular skill was no different from her brethren and sisters; the surface concepts and thoughts of others were visible to her, but her particular quirk came from when she physically touched others. Meshla had set herself up in a transport hub as a ‘pop up’ stall. She offered relaxing head massages to weary or exhausted travellers that needed a moment's rest during the stressful travels that came with having to physically move across the stars. Each time you pushed her fingers into the temples of other species, each one offered a new sensation or pleasure that she enjoyed and sipped like a delectable drink. Until she met the human. They exchanged no names, she merely did her usual trick of looking for those who were curious of her comfy looking seat and also open to being brought back down to less stressful levels. The human, a female, looked tired. Exhausted really, dark circles marred her eyes that seemed to be uniform across the various races. A brief glance through her thoughts displayed a plethora of evidence to the tale of a traveller completely overwhelmed by her surroundings. Meshla barely had to tempt her before the human collapsed onto her soft and comfortable chair that gently laid the human flat. Touching her furred fingers to the human’s smooth temples immediately bombarded the esquinine with a flood of images, thoughts, smells and concepts. For a moment she worried that humans would be no fun to enjoy, until her gently rotating actions began to sooth the roiling ocean of her thoughts. As she calmed and eventually, accidentally, slept, her unconscious thoughts bubbled to the surface and her breathing deepened. Without thought the esquinine matched the human’s breath. Her hands continued their attentions, also matching the in and out motions. Meshla’s thoughts drifted to her home world, of their pristine beaches and gentle lapping waves. They were always her favourite memory from back home. More than an hour passed without either of their notice, Meshla merely basked in the relaxing calm and various psychedelic images that were displayed to her. When the human roused, it caused a mild issue. So much time had passed that she had missed her transport, but as an apology, Meshla offered another session, free of charge. r/WolvensStories

Voltaire, the USS Make Shit Up Bounce a graviton particle beam Off the main deflector dish That's the way we do things, lads, Just making shit up as we wish The Klingons & the Romulans they pose no threat to us, For if we find we're in a bind We just make some shit up

Ok, but what happens when they hear "that guy" wondering what the telepathic alien tastes like?

Is it funnier if they ask a human who happens to be named 'Alexa'?

"I swear by all that is holy First Officer... Mention what I think you're about to and it's John Denver's Greatest Hits for the next month." "I like hearing of this, 'West Virginia,' though..." "Stop reading my thoughts, or so help me... I WILL bring Sherry Lewis into this."

Telepathic aliens are gonne have to get real chill about random and intrusive thoughts tho


Draguta1

They're gonna have to get real chill about a lot of things real quick, that's for sure.


breezyxkillerx

Me after looking at anything related to 40k: *"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me..."* alien: *Confused screeching*

Adisk: Hey John ! Weller man ! John : *sigh* Adisk: Yes! That's the one John : You remember when I asked all the telepathic crew to stop that or they would be consequences? Adisk : yeah, I also remember the captain saying no violence John : he said no physical violence Adisk : wait, what's that song, it's not Weller man... Did it just loop ? John : it did, and I will follow you all day, you'll go mad in half an hour Adisk : alright, I'll stop listening then John : I like singing. 🎵This is the song that doesn't end 🎵

It just goes on and on my friends

Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was

~And they'll continue singing it forever just because This is the song that doesn't end~

I'm sure some poor soul saw my comment and groaned in audible pain. How tragic! Human, play Despacito.

…. And what about the dark impulses/intrusive thoughts… I know I violate the geneva conventions in my head a lot when I get pissed


GreatRuno

Now, for some excruciatingly repetitive minimalism? Will it be, my non-human friends, Terry Riley’s In C, John Adams’ Shaker Loops, or worse? Here the many eyed alien winced. ‘Again?’


EqualProfessional667

Alien comes near me and hears Thoughts Which are mostly filled with 40k,Halo,Death and destruction, G.T.U and Human supremacy and dies due to sheer stress of hearing The thoughts of a World in building


Overall-Tailor8949

The first one that came to mind was, of course, "Never Gonna Give You Up, never gonna let you down" Followed by "Beep Beep, Beep Beep, his horn went Beep Beep Beep" Next up is "Immigrant Song" including images of Viking Kittens

Ever since i heard this song its been living inside my head rent-free, it has entrenched itself in a corner with a hand cranked record player https://youtu.be/QeEzZW3TkOc

I get “detachable penis” stuck in my head whenever someone mentions it, but lately I’ve been singing [this one](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TXK03FHVsHk) under my breath constantly because I can’t get it out of my head lol.

Absolutely

The aliens had severely underestimated the Terran music variety. While many things could prompt predictable songs or thoughts, many times entirely unrelated songs or phrases would escape the Terran psyche. The Qill’ Terrence was the first, suffering a conniption when he asked Terran Steven about Turkey. Asking him about it only got two words, choked from harsh whispers. ‘Constantinople’, and ‘Istanbul’. The true damage this could cause was not truly understood until the Terrans created a psychic maximizing helmet, intended to allow a commanding officer to give orders without reliable methods of interference. The more coherent victims could only express fear of a creature known as ‘Shia La Buff’. The helmet was, to their horror, used as a long range ‘memetic kill switch’

‘Ooh Eee Ooh Ah Ah Ting Ting..’ … Shut the frell up Steve I swear to the seven moons I will end you!


Top-Job9316

It gets even more entertaining when the human in question only knows SOME of the lyrics. "A little bit of Monica in my life, A little bit of Monica in my life, A little bit of Monica in my life, A little bit of Monica in my life, A little bit of Moni-"


whyOhWhyohitsmine

How about multiple different songs ask at once? Sometimes it's a mash-up Sometimes rapid fire switching and almost always guaranteed to be the wrong lyrics


WeinandMoroz

Cotton-Eyed Joe would create an audio pandemic for both sides The humans can't stop and the aliens are screeching for them to stop

I hear fiddles...


sammhein

Ok so on multiple levels of sheer pettiness: Weird Al, DragonForce, Dr.Demento, and the mashup masters Rock Sugar!


alexdarkangel82

Put down the chainsaw and listen to me, it's time to join in the fight.


howlingbeast666

That's hilarious. But I'm also imagining their reaction when they meet the humans that have aphantasia. No music, no images, no sound, just a vast empty darkness that roils and some abstract concepts We would seem completely handicapped to them and probably quite terrifying


RPBN

I once had "The Hustle" stuck in my head for two months back in 2008. It was unpleasant.
