There used to be a goon, Sgt Zeno who worked at the Pentagon. When he got bored, he would call the Mojave Phone booth, this becoming an obscure but fevrerntly debated footnote among the ![]()

I was checking to see if NASA ever denied the Panzer tank or the silverback gorilla that were photographed on Mars but instead I found this http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/744225/Chimpanzee-Nazi-Hitler-salute-zoo-Adolf-ape-Heil-right-wing simply shocking

vulturesrow posted:Ask me again after we hand out the smallpox blankets. I'd be willing to bet quite a bit that any first hand exchanges between us and an alien race would have absolutely catastrophic ecological effects on both sides due to microorganisms, (assuming they have microorganisms of their own.) Like we would almost certainly have no choice but to only communicate remotely lest we cause some sort of microbial apocalypse as life from either side starts to colonize a new world that is totally unadapted to the new invaders. Most things would probably have trouble taking root since that cuts both ways but there would undoubtedly be *something* that would spread far and wide and devastate a lot of the native life. Unless their conditions for life are totally incompatible with ours. In which case there's probably no danger of that happening but we won't be able to interact with them very closely anyway.

Hell just look at what happened to the Americas after contact was first made. Even communities that didn't make direct contact with Europeans for decades were probably devastated by various diseases in the early 16th century.

It's unlikely in the extreme that any organisms from a truly alien origin would be compatible with earthly life even to the extent necessary to infect it. An utterly alien biochemistry could very well lack DNA/RNA, or amino acids, or could be based on entirely opposed chiralities. Bets are off it it's distantly related, like if life has actually transferred between earth and Mars.

An utterly alien biochemistry could very well lack DNA/RNA, or amino acids, or could be based on entirely opposed chiralities. Infect or predate probably not, odds are neither ecosystem would have nutrients compatible with the other. OTOH you might end up with something where it just feeds off some weird metabolic waste product and gradually poisons the host to death.

History has taught us that the white people aren't the ones that get sick from meeting new civilizations. It's always the other side. Seriously though, there were well established trade routes, so it was easy for disease to spread.

Namely, syphilis, which appeared in Europe shortly after Columbus' voyage, and was way more virulent and deadly than it is today even when left untreated. Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.
