I like this version more:
The implication that the interstellar traveler would be on a planet without knowing what a shitshow it is already is kind of insulting to them.
When he made his travel plans, this was Dinosaur Planet. Imagine his disappointment.
“How much could change in a couple hundred million years? Oh…”
Explains his expression.
“But why did they vote him in the second time?” -Aliens
“Ive watched you guys enough to literally learn how to speak an alien language. Do you really think I don’t know about all the problems you have on your planet?”
Nah, they’re just using a Babel Fish.
I just had flashbacks to Yahoo’s “Babel Fish” and its lousy translations.
They had fair warning. No way they didn’t pick up signals on the way here and still chose to land.
This is my headcannon for why we’ll never have first contact. Because in a theoretical infinite universe, aliens 100% exist in some form, but they’re absolutely mortified by the signals we pump out into our nearspace from TV, radio, internet, etc
The most curious aliens might take a peek or come down for scans, but actually getting out of the UAP is like jumping the fence at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Supposedly our 200-ish year old bubble of lightspeed radio signals now encompasses 75 star systems. Unfortunately the signal gets diminished over distance thanks to the inverse square rule, so they’d maybe receive a signal but not be able to distinguish it from the CMB.
So the aliens that do come down are researchers or stupid kids?.. Wow, that checks out. Explains a lot of crashes. Joy riding alien teenagers, daredevils and a handful who break down here.
Now I find myself wondering if aliens have an equivalent to a Nissan Altima.
who says the signals would be dicipherable by their tech? to them it might be some kind of deadly radiation that keeps them away
If radio at the energies used for long distance communication is deadly to you and your spaceship isn’t enough to protect you from it, good luck getting into space in the first place.
depends on the type of radiation.
When a topic involves aliens, no one really knows how their bodies work.
What’s harmful to one organism is often harmless to others
the kinds of cosmic radiation that’s abundant outside of earth’s atmosphere and magnetosphere could be harmless or even benefical to other orgamisms that do interstellar travel all the time
Which includes the exact same radiation we use for radio…
No it does not. Next auestion!
What’s 9 + 10
21! You stupid!
EDIT: This is not proof that I’m a bot.
So if it’s deadly radiation, why didn’t they keep away?
do you have proof aliens are here on earth?
The news talks about aliens all the time, apparently they’re stealing my jobs but I’ve never seen any greys in the shops so it must be really good camo.
