Backdoor Sluts Vol. 7

"Mlorp, how do these beings even manage to procreate? This one is using the incorrect orifice, and this one removed his genital proboscis moments before copulation was complete!"

"Let's leave them alone, Floop. They will extinct themselves shortly."

I send Independence Day and to tell them it is a documentary. Now they know not to fuck with us.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Rather they know not to fuck with us while running Mac OS 7.5

A badly trained LLM.
Let them ask whatever they want of it without any way of verifying if what it says is correct.

I think one of those nice Attenborough documentaries. Wasn't there one that showcased the Earth? Seems like a nice gesture to put that forward.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Smarter people have already figured this out. I'd send them a copy of the golden record we put on Voyager. It contains the kinds of things that could convey "this is where we are, this is what we look like, we've figured out about this much of this universe so far, and we make stuff that isn't utilitarian (art)"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A 3.5 inch diskette full of some random stuff.

I still got lots of them somewhere in some box, so I won't miss it.

I don't miss the Aliens either ;-)

I'm sending them heavy metal. (Da movie) I don't think it would be the best or worst impression, but it would be so worth it to see how aliens react to that shit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Maybe Avatar: the last Airbender (animated series, obviously). Wholesome (overall), and maybe they'll think we all have powers.
