i dunno what her point was with the video honestly

Looks like regular self-promotion to me. All her social media accounts exploded after the video and she's announced some kind of activism against cyber bullying. Like, her twitter account is 2 months old and has 100k followers. If she plays this right there is a lot of money to be made. People spend years toiling away in the shitposting mines to get to that point.

Not that I blame her. If the internet dragged you and your dignity through the mud like that, it's fair game to try to get some compensation out of it.

Ah yes, apologize for the swearing and not scaring kids and people who are remembering the first Final Destination and weighing options.

I'm sure it was just psychosis, which is embarrassing and not her fault. Mental and physical health in the states aren't exactly great.

If I ever have a mental health crisis/psychotic episode in public, I really hope it isn't turned into a worldwide viral hit meme for everyone to gawk and laugh at(even if it's really, REALLY funny). It would be horrifying. From there apply the Golden Rule and yada yada

Did they clarify in the sequel that it was specifically water? I thought the line was just "resources" and "strip bare"

Unless they wanted oil, they could have taken anything they wanted from outer planets and the asteroid belt. But that’s not a proper narrative.

I was thinking about how much energy it would take to grab an asteroid and tow it somewhere else. Even if it was solid gold would it be cost effective?

or like, a giant vacuum to slurp up earth’s oceans. if aliens had the capability to move resources at that scale, would they need to?

like, how many zillion pounds of cows and grass and humans and crickets etc taken to be freeze dried into jerky for the bad guy aliens makes any sense.

too little it’s not worth the trip, to much and it’s like ok how much fuel do you have to burn that costs less than HUU MEAT like how do you turn a profit

I think the aliens (if they needed anything found on planet earth) would just come use the resources here locally and displace us? or they are on such a scale that they are post-scarcity and wouldn’t bother besides filming national galactic geographic of our mating habits

If visitors come from halfway across the galaxy with a profit motive, which seems very unlikely, it will be about cultural poo poo not goddamn water or meat.

You can make those things trivially but if they're anything at all like us they'll be fascinated by our biology and civilization and that it's REAL

thinking about scale now and how/what resources you need to go big

you could gather enough rare earth metals eventually to make big batteries, and then dyson spheres to harness the entire output of a star to charge them,

this has been worked out by better people than I most likely

Why would you need batteries?

Your already capturing the output of a star continuously, at that point there will be some magic mr fusion type thing to run your laptop.

well look at it this way, if you sent an email via satellite dish to Alpha Centauri, it would take like a hundred years to get there.

Imagine if you had a thumb drive full of woods porn, and you brought it with you on your FTL space ship. It'd be very valuable.

There's a book series where cultural poo poo is basically the main thing that is/has been stolen off of Earth which I thought was pretty neat, and they also had the same thing where multiple people claimed to have the orginal.
