Aliens probably watch earth like a trashy reality show. Just full cringe all the time
Mother effing Prime Directive!
Edit: realized Prime Directive is a proper noun. Corrected Capitalization.
Wouldn't they be allowed to make contact once the civilization reaches out to space? Or was that just in the Orville?
They were allowed to make contact once the civilization achieved warp drive in some form. With warp drive, the civilization would run into other space faring civilizations eventually. So an attempt was made to make that first meeting, peaceful.
Wait... "The" ufo sightings? Is this person using language incorrectly, or have i been living under a rock.
There was a bunch of drama in UFO communities a couple of years back where Congress was seemingly taking the possibility seriously but it faded away.
I'm pretty bummed, honestly, we need an uplift bad.
Perhaps we were invaded long ago.
It would explain a whole lot of inhuman behavior humanity has seemed to be engaging in.
Yes, we can't possibly be the myopic architects of our own demise.
Posadism always proves itself correct
A few years ago I wrote a short story about a benevolent alien alliance coming to earth because they observe planets with intelligent life to evaluate if they're worthy of joining the alliance.
They say they usually take 10ish years to do a complete evaluation but it took less than 3 for them to determine not only are we not worthy, but they are officially quarantining our solar system. The basis of their determination: 10 people on this planet have the resources and means of legitimately end all suffering and make this planet a utopia, but they would instead poison and burn 3/4 of the planet to hoard more of those resources for themselves.
Sounds like the hate us for our freedoms.
Time to bring back 'freedom fries' at mcdonalds and go to war with some aliens.
Post it, please?
It's not on my drive, and I think I may have completely lost it, but here's a synapsis from the last time I posted it...
The whole premise was on some rando day all screens with sound on earth (kinda live V), started broadcasting a message from the ambassador from the Concordium, and it’s all one giant monologue from him. He just says that anytime they find advanced, intelligent life in the galaxy they monitor them for roughly 11 of our years to ensure they’re advanced enough and are able to exist within their structure and harmony. But it took less than 3 for them to determine we are not, cannot, and never will never be functionally capable of it. One cited example is there at 10 individuals on the planet with enough wealth and resources to legitimately end hunger and poverty, and advance the civilization 100 years in maybe 10, but they’d rather burn the planet and let over 1/3 of the population suffer and die just to increase their already obscene wealth. Others include individuals damaging or killing themselves and others in displays of barbarism for mere entertainment, hate based on superficial features, and constant warring not towards the advancement of peace and prosperity but material goods and archaic resources that only further destroy the planet. As a result, our solar system is considered quarantined; they will not enter it, nor are we allowed to leave. If we attempt to they will eliminate us so we don’t poison the rest of the galaxy as we have our own planet. Only twice have they encountered warring species similar to us, and both times theose species's intention was to try and build advanced warships to conquer their way out of their solar systems, but because of their nature they both ended up destroying themselves and their planets in the process.
It ends with the transmission being cut, and the ambassador being asked if he thinks this could make humans unify and work towards the goal of bettering themselves to the point of being welcomed into the Concordium. He replies it has never happened in their recorded history
Hahaha yes; funny short story. Hopefully nobody violates the quarantine. :)
Fuckingcapitalists
This is why we vote for Kang.
Ever seen Battlefield Earth?
The aliens really liked it. It's going to be on endless loop on every streaming service, including YouTube.
There's always the possibility that they'll improve the status quo.
why would they bother? We'd eventually bite the hand that feeds us. Its 100% inevitable.
Please send otherworldly crop rotation and irrigation strategies we don't wanna starve again like the potato blight
OOP has clearly never played "Stellaris".
Rape. Us. All.
