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, there’ll be a lot less billionaires pretty quickly, from there it’s gonna be a lot of references to star trek, doctor who, dead philosophers and general southernisms.

      lol … aliens arrive in 1960s era London police boxes to try to not alarm us as they make first contact

      Aliens first message: … I say my good man, it’s quite a coincidence to find you in this part of the galaxy. I feel pecked by a hundred chickens, fuller than a tick on a big dog and fine as frog hair and not half as slick to greet you on this fair morning under god’s blue sky.

    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?

      Excellent source of creating a slave race? … to build that interplanetary space gun to destroy XMH3003 and those stupid Morkahons

    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

    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…

      Turns out Star Trek was just a retelling of actual intergalactic life

      Aliens: Who the hell told them all this stuff … I don’t look like that? … My ass isn’t that fat … Is it?

        “These beings have documented a perfect understanding of warp core, matter transmission, and matter replication technologies, yet they refuse to actually use any them and are stuck on a single planet fighting wars over limited resources.”
