At this point?
I see 100% of the world, all the narcissists and psychopaths in power, asking them to please take them away from this horrible world
- They remove our ability to leave the planet.
- Continually
Done.
Anal probe.
Depends where and how. If alien space ship crash landed on earth, I’m pretty sure every government would be eager to salvage every bit of priceless tech onboard.
But if it was a diplomatic mission with controlled first contact over radio signals, then it would probably go very differently.
To be realistic I think they would have scanned our airwaves and observed from afar and decided to get the hell out of this quadrant of the galaxy. If they needed our resources then it would be like the “Independence Day” movie, only the aliens would easily win.
Hopefully more like war of the worlds.
“hey check out this video, they have a contingency plan if we send in ground troops”
“They sneeze on us and we die?”
“… We have to check if that works.”
Watch the movie “Contact” for a good depiction of this.
They would be sick of our shit in 5 minutes
Something similar to what happened to india or Indonesia when the British/ Dutch showed up
War, then our extermination.
Die of some random common illness we don’t have any antibodies for.
Hopefully a species advanced enough to master interstellar travel would be mindful of that kind of thing though. I suppose at least they would probably be protecting themselves against that, so maybe it would go both ways?
Our strongest EMP rays did nothing to them, but in the end they succumbed to a simple stick.
There is also just the possibility that their common illness affects something biologically they possess that we do not.
I too hope the protections would go both ways. I guess it depends if whatever they’d exhaust is toxic to us
Seeing how incohrrent and fractured humanity is, we’d meet them with a jumbled mix of:
- Rabid xenophobia
- Aggressively trying to convert them to a dozen of our different religions
- Forming multiple cults worshipping them as gods
- Creating a shit load of really weird rule 34 AI-generated porn focused on them
- Dismissing their existence as some sort of a deep fake conspiracy
- Trying to sell them some worthless shit for a massive profit
- Trying to sell them fellow humans as slaves
- Trying to steal their technology to conquer the galaxy
- Flooding then with brainrot memes for the lolz
- Trying to destroy them with conventional weapons
And they would see all this and either destroy us in disgust or get the hell out of the solar system ASAP and cordon it off with hazard signs.
You forgot “eat them”.
The real answer to the Fermi paradox is that ET wants nothing to do with us and pretend they’re not even there.
The reality of course, is they already have seen what we are like and chose not to talk to us.
Don’t forget, someone from 4chan’s /x/ would try to fuck one of them. In public. At the reveal.
Or maybe they’d be totally into the rule34 thing.
I like the one about the memes.
Within less than an hour, Rule 34 will come into effect and someone will make a porn-film about them.

But seriously though, it depends on the type of aliens we’re encountering here. If they’re malevolent, they will probably wipe the earth clean and take all the resources.
If they’re more benevolent, they’ll just take pity on us, and turn back. Humanity is a problem that will fix itself if you just give it some time.
Sigh… If only… Anyway, don’t blame me, I voted Kodos.
It depends on what the extraterrestrials are like. I think its probable they would be as incomprehensible to us as we are to fish or bugs. I am confident that a significant percentage of people will immediately freak out and react with aggression regardless of what they are like, and that the wealthy will be looking for any way to make money from them, even if it means selling out life on earth.
A little bit of pee comes out.
I’d be PSYCHED. For whatever comes. It’d galvanize humanity. I think our problem is that we don’t have enough external enemies. That’s why we fight each other. Best game on the planet. Bet if aliums showed up we’d come together to destroy them and have a barbecue, and we’d lose, but it’d be nice to all feel like friends for once.
I think if we didn’t unite when the air could cripple people, we aren’t uniting over anything external.
