yeh this is prolly the great filter

“Omg aliens!” Is clickbait.

Just as the nuclear age was.

well the nuclear age didn't kill off the romans

nah

rampant degeneracy did

but ye aliums

fast radio bursts are neutron stars or some shit

True, but the Romans weren't about to break the stars.

are we?

i mean doesnt proxima centauri have like 3 earth-like worlds

Just remember: Walt Disney was a major proponent of space travel.

Just a hair away.

also if we did find aliens

what would they look like

@ebinmemes22 Arguable. I tend to put more stock in the “Inevitable collapse resulting from the attempt to manage an empire spanning three continents.”

We'd yeet them.

what if an insect became the dominant species on some planet

or a fish

Fish women.

Insect: Starship Troopers.

or a bird

@robert from kinoplex hot bird women.

yES

Or we'd fuck them.

Where the alien bird women at?

Most likely the former.

If life, or even intelligent life, evolved on a planet in a distant star system, we would have absolutely no way of predicting what form it would take.
We don’t know what natural environment it evolved out of, we don’t know what predators/prey it evolved alongside. We don’t even know if the predator/prey dynamic would even apply.
We don’t even know if that other planet evolved life based on carbon or if it was some other element.

Basically, if history is any lesson, it's war.

humanoid alien concepts are the creepiest shit

period

Ever see the Disney show about the hypothetical of what Mars might look like?

They theory crafted Silicon-based lifeforms.

@Laucivol I've read War of the Worlds.

*Really* fascinating.

I seriously doubt that alien life would appear *anything* like us.

Think it was from the 50-ish.

We aren’t going to meet sexy blue humanoid ladies. Sorry folks.

@Laucivol most were.
