Let me know if you need a break I'll be lurking and memeing. Thank you for the bread.
I really should stop assuming what Q is implying. I think this is the 3rd time it's bit me. I assumed he meant aliens have not contacted us (or we're not aware of each other) and that they were a distraction.
I have this overwhelming urge to talk to an alien. I'm assuming they're significantly more intelligent than us so it'd probably be a difficult conversation but it'd be beyond fascinating.
An anon asked me my thoughts on what "it" could be. The thing that Q says is so much bigger than what we can imagine. I think I might write up a couple I've had.
>Be careful what you wish for.
My curiosity is extremely strong. It's one of the reasons I entertain so many ideas.
Here's my assumption, someone correct me if I'm far off:
If aliens are real and we're aware of them… then they are aware of us most likely.
They're also most likely smarter and more advanced then we are.
The fact that we are still here means they aren't completely void of empathy (evil).
Or, they're not imperialistic.
Given that, what are the unintended consequences of talking to an alien?
I gotta say I've actually been in a meme drought lately.
Topical memes are good and effective but like you said their window is short lived.
If you can fit in a theme like fake news with a something topical like an event it's even better.
A lot of times I'll think about politics/happenings while I surf/game/bake/dig and something will stick to a pop culture reference.
