We don't actually know that for sure.
I still have faith we'll one day discover the Star Wars galaxy.

I have faith of the heart!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It would be nice of they discover us instead and somehow they are more advanced and have solutions to shitty stuff of today.

They have rampant poverty in a society with true AI (that they have enslaved), FTL, incredibly fast sublight drives, and functionally unlimited energy generation.

And yet, forget living in the fully automatic luxury gay space commune, they keep losing to space fascists until a space wizard restores the terrible prior society.

The Star Wars universe hasn't figured out shit.

Kardassians, got it.

Given sheer random chance and the understanding we have of a multi galactic universe, the meme is as true as the earth being the center of our system. We know nothing.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

False. This is an image, nobody lives inside an image, they live in the real world, which is not surrounded by a red circle.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

which is not surrounded by a red circle.

It is. I looked.

Suns going to go supernova just to spite this sentence.

This depends entirely on whether you consider aliens to be people (or if person is synonymous with human), and whether aliens exist (which they probably do).

If both of those are true, then this image would be false. The inverse would actually be true. Even if you would account everything behind the Earth that is also inside the circle, if you also assume life is mostly evenly spread out in the universe.

It also assumes no humans have found their way off this rock and multiplied.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Or that perhaps this planet was seeded by another…?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can't possibly know this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

"people" refers to humans so we are indeed sure

Yeah. What if someone went into a black hole, broke newtonian physics (which apparently happens quite often around singularities), ended up going back in time (we're not sure it's completely impossible), and now there's a colony ship of 9 billion people on the other side of the universe? We couldn't possibly know for sure. And if in fact the universe is infinitely large and time goes on forever, then if it's possible it's almost likely. But now we're getting into the multiverse thing...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Have you checked?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

wow, that's crazy, why is that? does the red circle emit some sort of brainwashing to compel people to live there? is this a global conspiracy? people, we gotta break free and move outside the red circle! don't let Big Circle run your life!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

It’s a rehab center for people that got addicted to oxygen and water at 14.7 PSI

Of course it was taken by people who escaped, but they couldn’t make it far without their addiction forcing them back.

Truly sad to mock those with addictions

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

nah, you're clearly missing half the earth...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Wait, is it a circle or a sphere? If the circle is on a single plane then flat earth confirmed?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

no, it's a cone shaped 3d object formed by projecting the circle through z in camera space

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wait that makes us all 2D

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

PROVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Define "people"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

As much as this seems obvious, I find it to have the same effect as the Pale Blue Dot image. We really are living on a tiny little rock residing in a void.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

More people are on my shit list than off it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The red circle is space debris from abandoned satellites.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

A claim you can't back up with proof, but which we all accept as true.
