Post more creepy as gently caress alien gifs.
That one where the alien pokes its head out from behind the wall and pulls it back several pages ago has always been one of my favorites.

Yeah on the one hand i doubt that a species like us could keep from killing itself before it got to interstellar travel but what if there's just some extremely powerful immortal demigod ruling the evil alien empire and he keeps everyone under his control with a vast network of spies and brutal domination. I guess that's just god emperor of dune or warhammer lol

Agreed, we're basically speed running towards Necromunda as it's.

"They have accents, difficulty with vowels might be a better way to say it, so I can't be sure if they're saying 8th or 18th. It sound like "aaiitee" no matter if it's 8 or 18."

So how many times do you figure the aliens from space used the numbers 8 and 18 while probing this poor fellow? or numbers in general

the bad news: the federation is currently on the losing end of a millennia-long interstellar war of extermination

lol at the federation is bringing us in solely for our unfathomable bloodlust and destructive capabilities. They'll pair our imagination with their magical tech and just unleash us in a direction.

So I got permission to post whatever the gently caress the person I'm currently seeing caught on camera while taking long exposure shots of the night sky out near Mono Lake.

Initially I thought maybe she'd caught the ISS reflecting a glint or something but that scale doesn't make any sense? Also for a long exposure it's... Weird that it doesn't have the typical squiggly light streaks when stuff like Space X satellite launches get caught in night sky photography.

It's old, it would get shot down in any situation where the hypothetical enemy could shoot back, and its only air to air kill is some poor SOBs in a helicopter that was taking off at the wrong time.

One of those reasons is even semi-valid.

America likes to attack people who traditionally can't shoot back so...
I mean it's a giant gun with wings, the only thing I expect it to do is instill pure fear in whatever poor saps on the ground are being attacked.

Not a hoax either, the aliens just have a good sense of humor.

Alien came out 42 years ago.
42 is of course the answer given by a supercomputer in Hitchhiker's Guide as the answer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.”

Okay, so, whenever someone who doesn't believe in telepathy does an experiment, the experiment says it's bullshit. Whenever someone who does believe in telepathy does an experiment, the experiment says it's real. Easy to explain, ight? The true believers are just biased, consciously or unconsciously.

So, a true believer and a skeptic got together and ran an experiment as a pair. They set everything up to the satisfaction of the skeptic, and the only difference was who was running it each day. The data collected, the method, everything else was the same.

They found that the believer got results indicating telepathy was real, and the skeptic got results indicating it wasn't.

Then someone else did a meta study, which is when you take the data from a bunch of papers and analyze it for collective trends of some sort. That person found that anytime any authors believed something, they were more likely to get results that it was true, and vice versa. This kicked off a bunch of people doing the same analysis (though in different ways, of course, each sure their way was the best) and finding different answers.

So, someone did a meta analysis of the meta analyses. Turns out that anyone that believed that author's belief influenced studies found that to be the case, and anyone who didn't believe it found that to be the case.

tl;dr: reality is consensual, or scientists are witches, or something

or we cannot remove bias from science nearly as well as we thought and almost everything we do is probably wrong somehow. but you already knew that.

It's a tautological feedback loop rooted in the human psyche.
Don't know why a billion papers needed to be written on this when my sentence calls it as it is. Stupid ivory tower nerds.

I think we can all agree that if aliens exist, they are absolute cowards.

I would come down in my ship and swinging my interdimensional dick around directly in the face of lovely lying governments and just broadcast directly to everyone on earth at once.

"See my awesome ship? I cross Galactic distances like it's loving nothing. Yeah I can fix your planet, and I can feed and house every single member of your species with my technology. I'm going to turn you all into techno demigods and your leaders know this. I offer true equality. Join me, and simply ask me for help. If your leaders refuse then destroy them. I await your species collective answer in aitee days. If you do not answer I will just destroy every government here and begin uplifting the survivors".
