Coffee was originally only in Yemen. Fact that I bet you didn't know.

Lol the trees are fat
HypnoChanger
That tree in the last one looks like the Dead Hand from OOT.
Sephiroth23
I barely leave my house so everything outside looks 'alien' to me already
HussainMuneerSabeha
It's the best island in the world and very safe.

Just travel a little further in and you can do the Thunder plateau challenge..

But...but... Noahs Ark! So these are obviously just Nasa fakes...

#6 is the Dragon Blood tree
grilledslug
Pretty stupid looking plants. I can see why they never caught on elsewhere.
IDunGoofed
Yea, go there and get stung by something that doesn't grow anywhere else and nobody knows anything about it.A celebrity for doctors forever.
imjusthereforthemoneynotyourbs
It's like a super no fly zone too

Caudiciform plants are my favorite thing

UAE( Dubai) is stealing that shit now

Neat. So how long until we fuck it up and build a Starbucks?
TheDivineUsersub
I was thinking of going there and writing my name on each timeless inch of it with a sharpie #tourism
wotemer
I search it on Wiki. I open 'Flora and Fauna'. 'see also: list of spiders on socotra'. nope island
BeatingTheDeadWhores
42 different kinds in total.

Neat, tarantulas with bright blue socks!

Well there is a reason no one lives there.

Religious nuts in the middle east are fighting over resources.....say it aint so. lol
nlaw1013
So those weird mushroom-looking trees in BotW aren't that outlandish after all, apparently.
Huhwhatcrazy
And Australia is very alien. Platypus ...

It is also the home of the magnificent Socotra Island Blue Baboon (Monocentropus balfouri)

Maybe this was the inspiration for the Voynich Manuscript?????
Jiigen
What's that?
TrailBlazer94
Earth
TrailBlazer94
It's like an old timey book with unknown origin and it contains descriptions and illustrations of plants an animals that are not found on

Please please please tell me this is where umpa lumpas come from

Madagascar is similar, beautiful country that isn't like anywhere else in the world.

No Mans Buy. FTFY
KyleBadge
I was thinking that!
Fenderzilla
Cant be, this is interesting.
ThisMeansALot
I saw like 3 strange things... so of course it's no mans sky and that's it..
Affray
This doesn't depress me, so I'm not so sure.
Wollip
I thought No Man's Sky was just lies though...
AbsolutelyNotADragon
That's true, there's nobody there and little to do.
SkanderbegisbetterthanMehmet
looks more like Solstheim
Iwanttofingeryou
No thats the thundra plains from breath of the wild i recognize the trees
TemporaryUzername
lies. No Man's Sky was never even No Man's Sky.
EmperorGary
...what?!
TemporaryUzername
it was not what they promised/showed at E3, therefore it was not what they said it would be. Therefore No Man's Sky was never No Man's Sky.

To me it resembles Xenoblade Chronicles X.
AgolfHiller
As if! No man's sky wishes it was as diverse
blueTeam
Ooh they finally upgraded the graphics!
Kieran1878
You beat me to it
TemporaryUzername
their graphics have always been alright. it was the promises in gameplay and content that caused a stir.
SolidBepis
NO GUY BUY
TheGaryBuseyOf4nal
Loved that game! Honestly one of the best out at the moment, devs really came through. -nobody
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
I use it to relax. Like a scenery simulator. Throw on some music and walk around. Kinda nice.
ThishasbeenmyTedTok
Find a soundtrack for space, rip a bowl, set forth to brave new worlds
SuchaPunchableFace
I do exactly this as well, only reason it's still on my hard drive.
Skilgannon92
No Man's Sky wasn't that good
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
To be fair we should have known. It was the Spore hype all over again and many people mentioned that before it was released
MOTHERFUCKINGRAPTORJESUS
we know.
happenedtomeonce
Can't be, this has multiplayer
imnotsurewhatsgoingonbutmyassholeisindanger
riceronijones360
Not to mention actual gameplay.
EmperorGary
When was the last time you played the game? There's been a few major updates in the game since launch and another is coming soon!
Skyink
So, what you're saying is they still haven't finished it?
TheZade
Maybe in a few years when Yemen is a bit... Safer
DavidAndrews
This place is completely safe. Most people fly there from the UAE not Yemen itself.
OverpricedCrayon
Nah don't go here ever well just fuck that island up and ruin it like we do everything else. Leave it alone.
stradaniye
"A few years." Uh huh. Sure.
SjyiN
U mean after the us and saudis stop bombing those people to bits?
Creeponomist
Socotra is far in the Arabian Sea, you'd be fine. Population 8,500 or so, there's no one there who'd want you dead, just go!
MenloPart
They don't know me yet!
EricFromAccounts
You don't know how widely disliked I am!
squidyRobinson
It's totally safe
fadedcharacter
Lol
ForgotMyOtherAcct
Which year of the war is it now? 3?
mkyner
Pretty sure the war is just on the mainland. Getting in might be an issue, but the island itself is probably fine.
ForgotMyOtherAcct
that's true. Still, the war is uncomfortably close, and within the same country. It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that it
ForgotMyOtherAcct
might spread to socotra. Of course, this applies to pretty much any territory or nation near a war.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
How do you get there though? I would guess a flight to somewhere mainland (probably not a happy place) then a boat that passes a bit close
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
to pirate infested waters?
DavidAndrews
You fly there from the UAE.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Fair enough, moderately safer
DavidAndrews
If you don't leave the airport 100% safe.
RandomPenisInComments
While we all would love this, Lord knows some as whole tourist will ruin it in lika a second
fadedcharacter
Soooo true, some hussy with western ideology might show up with her *gasp* FACE UNCOVERED!!!!
JapAnus
I think they meant like, destroying the cool looking plants and shit.
RandomPenisInComments
That's exactly what I meant
RandomPenisInComments
*Asshole
DrEgg
reminds me of the volcanic island that the only plant growing is Tomato, cause a scientist took a dump.
IncorrektGramerNazi
lol "as whole"
halfmexicanhalfamazing
Some random penis probably...
boognish115
I wuz here
Darrions
I think it's actually quite well protected and only a few scientists were allowed and for a really short time
ModernOhioan
It just takes one scientist to take a dump on the island.
notaballoon
It's an inhabited island
RandomPenisInComments
Thats cool
ImSorryThatIWasBornIdentifyingAsTheSexThatIActuallyAm
No there is an actual city there.
ButterfaceTaintClown
Even a half tourist would ruin it.
RandomPenisInComments
Exactly

Anotherunsuspectingvictim
Well now i wanna go there just so i can say with confidence I have no allergies. traveled the world and nary a cough or sniffle.
Nelmathel
well there are somethings you as human would be "allergic" too but at that point we just call 'em poisons.
spungee
Wouldn't developing an allergy require exposure first? So you'd have to go twice :-D
oyskin
Sickness and allergies are two different things tho, doubt you traveled the world without getting sick.
thesplashingblumpkins
are you allergic to piracy and Saudi bombs?
NotFarEnough
I don't think you'd have to worry about the Saudis bombing a remote, sparsely-inhabited island well of the coast
thesplashingblumpkins
depends how you're planning on getting to the island
misho
That's more of a phobia for me, really.
leaderoflosers
Have you ever been sick or injured? I think their is a movie about you
Anotherunsuspectingvictim
Never broke a bone or damaged a joint. Been scraped, bruised, poisoned, and sick though.
leaderoflosers
Well dang, not the man i'm looking for
Illthinkofausernamelater
I'm allergic to grass, trees, weeds, & dustmites. Hives allergic. Fuck you and your healthy immune system.
Anotherunsuspectingvictim
You could say your immune system is stronger than mine.....
Illthinkofausernamelater
My immune system is apparently too strong for my body. Do you think AIDS would cure my allergies?
JaimeLannistersRightHand
At this moment I only know of one allergy of mine. I am slightly allergic to horsehair. Bee stings, wasp stings, gluten, peanuts. No biggie
Showmeyourotters
I have no idea what I'm allergic to and break out in hives on average once a day, but I know it's none of those things. The only thing I do
Showmeyourotters
know of is cats, and they give me a totally different reaction.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Curious what your ancestors his. Seems like it would be pretty inconvenient for someone from Eurasia.
JaimeLannistersRightHand
My family used to own a horse... Never had a problem. But the moment I find a girl that loves horses. Poof. Allergies
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Your body saved you. Horse girls be crazy.
JaimeLannistersRightHand
They be... I kinda like it.
Mikeiller
Or you could be allergic to a rare plant that only grows one place in the entire world, which is also a cool thing to brag about
Neonbaron
And there is no way to cure it because no one tests allergy immunity on ultra rare island plants
RaynWisp
This means, of course that batman would immediately stockpile it... because of potential plot convenience.
TachyonCode
Assuming you don't die of anaphylaxis first.
Anotherunsuspectingvictim
yep. the ladies will be like "his immune system is so discerning, i bet he is too."
Penguinsandbroadswords
Sounds like you come from good, strong, healthy stock. Find someone who appreciates that. Or be a sperm donor and get paid for it.
Anotherunsuspectingvictim
They won't take me, I'm an inch below average height and with a bad hairline
Penguinsandbroadswords
Then find someone who appreciates you. My husband is 2 inches shorter than me, receeding hairline, but awesome and no family history of 1/2
