I'm a time traveler and I'm highly offended, but I can't tell you why or it would rend the fabric of the universe.

Illegal aliens are voting, the election is rigged!

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago

Oh, they mean these illegal aliens. All this time I thought we were talking about Mexicans. SMDH.

Build the... dome?

Well the ai generating those hands so well might be actually from the future

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Only 5 fingers on each hand? WTF?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hand all the way to the right has 5 fingers and a base of a thumb visible.

Ugh the more I look at this, the more unnerving the details are. The little girl has a Zoidberg claw for a right hand, and alien behind on the right has a spaghetti finger.

[–] Rootiest@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Hand all the way to the right has 5 fingers and a base of a thumb visible.

But only 5 appendages visible on the hand in the image so AI do good job?

[–] Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They look really happy though.

Ayylmaos, should they exist, would be very...alien to us. Why are almost all schizo-American ufonutjob descriptions of ayylmaos are near-human sized, vaguely fuckable Startrek forehead aliens who are bipedal and have two arms? Even on Earth, bipedalism is very rare amongst animals. Next is size. Mammals alone span the size of mice to blue whales. Why are ayylmaos sized just right for anal probing us? Why aren't they orca-sized girrafes? Let's not go to problems with different planetary gravities and atmosphere. Oxygen is highly toxic and Earfian life have evolved a complicated mechanism to detoxify it. Yet, ufonutjobbers depict ayylmaos as not wearing space suits. Next is communication. We can't even talk to cats or understand them fully. What makes you think we can seduce a green naked ayylmao slave dancer? Truly, schizo-American ufonutjobbers should gb2 to Rebbit where they belong.

Oxygen is also a catalyst for life. It’s kind of like a drug for us. It’s good and bad at the same time. It kind of burns the wick of life. It helps us product energy and destroy old cells. It is thought to be something that we would find in abundance on any planet with complex life.

In theory, the reason that our evolution won was because it is a very effective design pattern. It is possible that aliens might come from a planet with stronger or weaker gravity, so could have differing musculoskeletal structure, however the humanoid form would still provide the correct support. Perhaps, in lower gravity, our heads might have been bigger light some depictions of Greys.

We have been working on a first contact protocol for ages and would be certain to quickly establish a means of communication. I highly recommend watching the movie Arrival, which goes through this at great detail and definitely pokes at the idea that aliens might perceive different dimensions.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Jury is still out if the humanoid form really is such an evolutionary advantage. Sharks exist for already at least 450 million years, predating trees by about 90 million years.

[–] porkins@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yet in that time, they didn’t figure out how to build spaceships. Two legs seems optimal for getting through tight spaces. Being able to sweat allows us to run for hours and exhaust our prey. Hands with opposable thumbs make is able to build and wield anything. Our brain folds make it so we can plan and recall. Our brains are actually really good at locational memory, which is less relevant with GPS, but can be hacked for massive memorization abilities. Sharks sense a mass of life that smells fishy and eat it. It matters how you define success. Is it just survival in place or advancing science, exploration, the arts, etc.?

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Animals that live in water will never develop technology, as they can't make fire, so that's an evolutionary dead end.

Also, you need a way to manipulate material, so hands and arms/appendages are also going to be a prerequisite.

My bet is that the first advanced alien species discovered will be giant land crabs with hands instead of pincers.

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I have a question: where does the term "ayylmaos" come from? If it I hadn't seen SomeOrdinaryGamers talk about it I would very confused.

[–] sdoorex 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This must be what that gay agenda is all about. I mean, look at them ripped aliens.

[–] Roundcat@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

(on our way to area 51)

What do we want? A man worth fighting for🎵

[–] instamat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Tom cruise reveals himself to be an alien and he has the ability to self replicate?

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

Look, they’re all laughing! What good friends!

Should have had Biden in his favorite black aviators.

Goddamn it. I knew my Tardis was malfunctioning after that last crash into the #BBC. Apologies everyone - gotta flush the quantum improbability matrix again before I untangle the timelines. By the way, if anyone happens to spot a thylacine with a spiked collar roaming around London, please let me know. He answers to the name of Cryptodile Dundee and likes kangaroo niblets.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Psh, those hands look so fake

[–] steebo_jack@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why arent their hands green???

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe that's how they've blended in all this time. Well, that and the teeth.

Wow, he will visit Rzeszów again!
