Until we have physical, undeniable evidence it is all just words. But, the reason I talk out load when I’m alone is for the aliens who might be watching me. I want them to hear my explanations for why I’m worth visiting personally / why I’m reading memes and not building a star gate out a 7 toasters and a mountain bike.
Honestly the scariest thing about first contact is if absolutely nothing changes.
Scary would be if they rock up, observe us for a few days, then leave hurriedly, forever.
That’s… Actually probably exactly how Star Trek would handle modern Earth. Part of the prime directive is that any species that gets contacted by the Federation has to achieve a certain level of technological and societal advancement first, and we’re close, but I’m pretty sure we’d get put on the “check back in a century” list.
So, if they’re nice aliens and they just watch us for a while and leave, maybe our first contact just got waitlisted?
Now would be the absolute best time to announce contact with aliens, if it already exists, since it’s just par for the course at this point. It’d be just another Thursday. We’d start seeing rule42 art pop up before the day was through (granted there’s already plenty out there, but rule42 specifically for whatever the real aliens looked like.
5 dimensional secks will blow your ninth limb off.
Fermi or Drake, nobody cares. Just tell me and lemme get on with my life.
My wife and I talked this exact meme this morning. If there really is aliens, life for us would just go on, so much more to worry about
I tell my partner all the time that if something can survive space for that long, they don’t need us. Knowledge is the language of the universe, they’d be here to observe.
My friend and I talked about this last night. Calvin and Hobbes had it better. The surest sign of intelligent life in the universe is they haven’t contacted us yet.
Why would any self respecting alien want to engage this dumpster fire?
Up above aliens hover Making home movies for the folks back home Of all these creatures who lock up their spirits Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets
Can you let me borrow 50 bucks? I’ll pay you back next time you visit.
