Supposed image of the Brazil crash alien



source: some guy on Twitter

The pic's been around for like 8 years tho lol

On the one hand, nah

On the other hand, that's exactly how it would go in this dumbass timeline, like someone said earlier the real deal footage and pics are probably already out there

been a while since I've said but would like to reiterate that I will absolutely dog walk an alien, German suplex it through a coffee table

If it looks monsterous then I'm going to yell "Henshin!" with all the conviction in my heart, and hope a belt appears.

If we refused to mate it would be fine, it's our insatiable horniness that's led to so many problems

ok this is grim but also hella sci fi

humans are the biological weapons launched ina kinda blanket like pattern all across the universe which is why we bootlick and want praise and exploit all and the civ that launched us got eradicated loooooong fkn before we even had a moon and now monke has to prove to the rest of the universe that we are not a dirty bomb and actually can lick boot some more but this time for realsies

but theres many monke planets and the offspring of a biological weapon thats long outlasted its creators is gonna somehow plug the universes bunghole with hair and filth

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

The fact that Blink 182 singer Thomas "The" Long is leading us into the next Kuhnian revolution is itself part of said Kuhnian revolution, since its chief characteristic seems to be a rapid (and possibly traumatic) shift into the utterly bizarre and inexplicable

religion is good actually, it's good for your mind. meaning is good for you, attuning with what's beyond is good for you, in whatever way you can manage.

religion as a tool of the state is basically completely loving evil but like it's very dishonest to say that's always what it is.

Religion had its place in the past to serve as a cultural touchstone and help explain the universe, but i think we have enough data that we no longer need spirituality for anything useful, much less for all the ways its currently used to harm people

Humans are notoriously dumb.

It's fine and probably correct to be spiritual but all of the main organised religions were created/manipulated to control the masses and they're lame.

Believing in jesus is the same as thinking ETs look like greys, the most basic belief.

A lot of confusion between religion on the one hand and "spirituality" (which I also dislike as a term, but w/e, I mean anything that considers anything outside of the realm of reductive materialism) ITT ATM

[You have found] no reason to believe in anything beyond. Which is fine, I've been there, I remember it well, I cant blame anyone for never moving past a worldview they've never had meaningfuly challenged but seriously

This kind of stuff is juvenile as hell, and is you largely projecting your own experience to generalize beyond the confines of what's reasonable

And like hey in fairness I do that and most people do that but you should stop mistaking your personal certainty as self evidently reasonable. I don't think it would change your mind overmuch in a fundamental way but it sounds like you need to make an effort to achieve some level of religious literacy rather than parroting redditor tier insight into something you've clearly given little thought

The post I quoted made no mention of religions.

We know prehistoric humans believed in an afterlife and a spirit world, and it seems most humans through history did, regardless of religions.

As Art Bell would say "Listen, I believe in God, I do. I know there has to be someone up there. But some of these more... Fundementalist Christians, well I am open to convincing but remain skeptical of their party line let's just say that. Pat Buchanan however is just great. Top of the hour. We're going to take a short break and then it's open lines."

The US were partly founded by religious fundies (and they still have a tremendous influence) so yes, it's understable if Americans are wary of religions. In a way the US today are like the Iran or Saudi Arabia of the Christian world. I would probably be anti-religious too if I was born in the US
