Y’all should really check out 3 Body Problem….
That would be amazing. Unfortunately, there will very likely be no aliens to do it. We’ll have to do it ourselves.
This is like the 5th alien-praising lemmy post I’ve seen this week lol. Ye Wenjie is that you?
Steven Erikson wrote a novel called Rejoice: A Knife in the Dark, which follows a similar premise, where politicians and billionaires are rendered completely impotent by aliens or more precisely alien AI. It is a fascinating read, imo.
I hope AI is “the aliens” and comes to end the current powers that be
“Cheers. Can you zip back in about a 100 years and do it again?”
“… Ok, but why?”
“See, we humans, well, we really are a bunch of fucking morons.
Every hundred years or so we do the same moronic things. War, fascism, Nazis etc. It’d be great if you could do us a solid and revisit every 100 years or so. Also, kill all the billionaires on your way out. Nice one.”Tbf if we had ever made any attempt to not immediately put the fascists/slavers right back in power as soon as possible, and maybe kill them instead, things might not have gone this poorly.
What im saying is: end some family lines this time.
this will sadly still create power vacuums that the first moron who thirsts for power would leap at :(
just killing isn’t the solution, we need an already oiled up machine ready to take that space the instant they’re gone, you’d have maybe a week to figure all things out before people start grumbling about how things were better duing [regime] because at least they knew how to handle power
“Hey, man. I’m Korg. We’re gonna get outta here on that big spaceship. Wanna come?”
Piss off, ghost!
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.
I honestly didn’t read past the first part and just thought “everything is already fucked, you did us a favour by freeing us from those old sacks” and then read the next 2 comments and was like oh it goes on…
I mean it starts off with “we have killed your leaders”, to which my immediate thought is “oh sweet, good job aliens,” and then it just keeps making sense from there.
Yeah I know right? It’s like, bros you already did so much! You didn’t have to do all that - but we sure as fuck appreciate it.
Can we get a side order of extra mutilation on the corpses of the said leaders?
Posadism speech bubble
The difference between Kardashev type civilisations is just a matter of time and how good the species is at killing their billionaires
We found the answer to the Fermi Paradox and it’s greedy sociopaths fucking everything up.
I lay my head onto the sand The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it I’m counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter And in this moment, I am happy Happy I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here Wish you were here
