Oh! That's what my tattoo is from...

Nice tattoo.

Anyway, if we ever need help from advanced civilizations, we're going to put you in a bottle and throw it in the galactic ocean. Ok?

You could at least spare his life, just skin that part of his arm off. Put his skin in the bottle. But let the man live.

Makes you think, why didn't they put a cadaver in there? Like a dead human, preserved for the alien lads to have a proper look at. Surely there would be volunteers down for donating themselves after their death.

Elon musk sent a mannequin in a car into space so we've pretty much got all the bases covered now.

Let's just hope an alien civilization finding that probe doesn't lead to a dual vector foil being launched at the solar system

I mean even a photoid would be bad for us right now.

True, we can't exactly go and cower behind Jupiter at the moment unfortunately.

Carl Sagan meant well. He probably sent it to himself. Surely he's received it by now.

Hey, where's the one with the noodz?

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

We should at least have.added descriptions in Vulcan and Klingon.
