Aliens decide to communicate with us
Aliens decide to communicate with us
Aliens want to communicate and they decide to use you and your personality as the base model for all humans. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Well as someone with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as being on the spectrum, initially we'd be kinda screwed. I have spent a lot of time in therapy and have done a lot to manage it all, as well as developing empathy for myself and others, so not so bad.
However, I choose to be a non-theistic Satanist and an anarchist, so a lot of other people are going to be fucked. Especially those that deserve no empathy due to their hoarding of resources and exploitation of people and the planet.
Humanity is screwed.
They like being alone, don’t like loud noises, will find a reason to leave a situation with more than 3 people in a small area. They don’t have any sexual desire and will be most happy to go through life without ever having intercourse. Probably going to go extinct without outside intervention thanks to that, better intervene to preserve the species.
They want to hibernate when it’s cold outside. Cold = anything below 70f.
They’re herbivores though so at least they don’t destroy their planet by mass farming the cruelest and most inefficient food source possible. Silver lining?
At one point in my job I was effectively the translator between English speaking Indian software devs, and American project managers. If I can translate technical information into something understandable to a PM, and vague program specs into actionable technical requirements for the devs I think we’d actually be alright with the aliens.
I think it'd go great.
I feel like they'd be horrified, and conquer our planet and force us all into therapy, but think they'd see us as worth helping
“Why do these aliens keep making stupid, unfunny jokes”?
Humanity shall receive the gift of estrogen!
“Hmm, it looks like these humans really like ‘tentacle hentai’… we could use this to our advantage”
I guess we're good. :)
Well... it could be worse... you should all thank them they didn't pick my sister.
I am pedantic to a fault, capable of simultaneously being the most specific and most vague person you will ever speak with, and have the social skills of a carrot. I am also debilitatingly ADHD, reasonably autistic, and more intelligent than is able to produce an emotionally functional adult.
I will leave it up to you all on if you want me to be the model, but I'd be happy to if it were up to me.
Bro I'm autistic and have adhd and have been traumatized by everyday life as well as unfiltered access to the internet.
The first thing I'm telling them to do is glass the planet with me on it.
As someone with d.i.d. it all comes down to which personality they take.
I'd say just barely north of average, but quickly declining.
Screwed!
But this is not a very good/logical/reasonable alien to be in contact with. There are so many ...ists with can call this alien. Generalization with sample of one? Pfff... They won't even get here...
I think u re asking on the wrong platform.
Wrong question. If they picked me, you ought to ask how screwed the aliens are...
That LOTR scene comes to mind when Frodo offers the ring to Elf Queen...
Human population can't focus, stand still, or remember worth shit for longer than 5 minutes.
Good news. We would most likely be okay. Depending on the alien.
We aren't. Maybe we dead because of my unending bickering about the futility of life, but screwed? Nah.
Why do the aliens think we are giant weebs that are obsessed with our infrastructure?
If I don't recognize the phone number, I'm not picking up the phone.
It'd be weird at least. A bunch of borderline suicidal people doing psychedelics and bringing each other ice water when someone coughs.
Not too bad. At least we'll have English and Russian solved right off the bat.
I have cryptolalia.
I don't even think they can make a language model off of me.
they will be very racist.
Theyll turn us all into furries
"They weigh an average of 100 of their kilograms, and subsist on a diet made up entirely of vegetable-derived matter. Their political opinions are all based as hell, and they fucking love fire trucks. 7/7 Florgles, we should open a line of communication with their leaders immediately"
Doomed, like with any other human. Good thing good close Jesus as a base model. And then he incarnated himself as Jesus in order for him to have the perfect base model to see humankind through. Merry Christmas.
