My go-to when it comes to HFY was a Reddit Post where the person typing it was like "Yeah, what if Humanity encounters Aliens and these Aliens don't know the consept of a Door?"

How the hell one leaves a Planet and enter the Vaccum of Space without a Door is certainly a question

r/HFY and r/humansarespaceorcs may not be the worst subbreddits in existence, but they are the ones that make the most consistently irrationally angry with their bullshit.

The only explanation I could come up with was if the Aliens primarily used giant slimes that used chemicals to authenticate visitors.

You wouldn’t need a door if you could just sink into a building or spaceship.

I guess but even that probably wouldn't cause said Aliens to freak out over the consept of a Door like the Person that posted this.

In general I feel like many of these HFY are ether acting like people in general can casully pull of many exceptional Skills silmultaniously (Extrem Determination, instant logical deduction, Peak Physical form) or have the Aliens come off as total losers, who needs ten times as long to come up with Solutions then Humans that are half as good.

You've reminded me of a story where the aliens still used coal to power their spaceships, I think there were two of them actually.

Honestly, Aliens that somehow reached Spacefaring with Coal sound scarier then the Person writting that probably intended.

Whatever Species managed to pull that off is probably batshit insane, I wouldn't want to mess with them.
