At this point a real alien could come down the sky and people wouldn't give a fuck. Hard to care about aliens when you are homeless and starving

I think I can assume from here that there aren't any aliens, because they would NOT be touching this for a cheap distraction if there was anything of note to see.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Oh i don't doubt its aliens, just.... microbial. Literally nothing major to speak of, single celled organisms.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 7 months ago

That's still infinitely more extraterrestrial life than we have proof of today

[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 7 months ago

That would be a humongous world-changing announcement in a sane timeline. Half the people in our stupid culture wouldn't even register it as a blip though.

In situations like this I like to think of the history students a thousand years from now, assuming the earth is still habitable, etc.

"So humanity's first public recognition of extraterrestrial life only happened when it did to distract from the fact that the Big Country at the time had reelected the planet's worst person AGAIN and they needed to delay justice until they died for... let me double check the text... they needed to delay getting in trouble for being at the top of a global human trafficking and rape operation?

And I am supposed to believe these people had running water, airplanes, internet, and space programs? They lied about every other damn thing!"

Yeah this is devastating news for UFO enthusiasts. Even the craziest alien conspiracist probably understands when Trump is wriggling like an eel

You know what? I want to believe. But if it comes out of this adminstration, I won't. It's the perfect cover.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The only way I'm gonna believe is if greys land in DC, enter the White House, and drag Trump away for intergalactic trial because he also molested one of their minors.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago

Wasn’t there some press conference under Bush where they walked out an alien, which was just some guy in a costume?

[–] notsure@fedia.io 2 points 7 months ago

...too late, i win...

[–] borQue@lemmy.zip 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

idiot country. A few years ago I needed many more words to describe it. These days this suffices

[–] boeman@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

We (the US) really are a shithole country.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Government of what? Which government?

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Sorry. The topically stupid one

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 months ago

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How many non-stupid governments exist at the moment?

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

There's a few. But I see what you mean.

The Government™

[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Hmmm... 🤔

Your banana republic regime then ?

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

"The government"

the one IANA regards as THE "government"

There are no sex offenders in space, because in space, noone can hear you scream.

How could my client have "blown Bubba" in a vacuum, your honor?

What annoys me is that all he basically said was that he believes in the Drake Equation. Not that we have encountered aliens or have definite proof of their existence; just that with how big the universe is and how much diverse life exists on this one rock, there's no way there isn't life elsewhere on other rocks somewhere.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

But we don't know all the variables for the Drake equation! It's still possible that we're alone in the observable universe.

[–] Sundiata@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

the ufo thing is just a grift, they aren't going to say anything about ufos even if they win the midterms. trump thinks your stupid, just like in 2024 when he said he knows what the ufos are and then stopped talking about it once he won the election.

[–] OriginEnergySux@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

people in the future learning our history

"So this trump guy just trolled everyone for 2 terms and no one did anything? Lame."

[–] graycloud@leminal.space 6 points 7 months ago

If aliens landed, I would still have to pay bills. What difference does it make, at the end of the day?

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Literally just use paint to draw a white square over the ghost/alien thing.
