For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.
I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.
His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.
Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.
I do agree! (and that was a delightful reply to read) I’m just still upset that this was called truly “awful solutions to the Fermi paradox”, because physicists have entertained the possibility that these assumptions are true. Even if it is very unlikely, at least the principles of discovery and that Earth’s more-advanced civilizations have destroyed the less-advanced one in nearly every contact are likely enough that consensus is apparently to not broadcast, just to be safe. According to https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/astro/people/stanway/sciencefiction/cosmicstories/the_dark_forest/, that is their reasoning.
TL;DR: I agree that it’s very unlikely (and that it’s made as a fictional device; to do classic science fiction, essentially) but I disagree objectively that it is “awful” lol.
