et aliens have been around since the first "human" was planted on earth. the aliens are just waiting for humans to kill each other till they're all gone. THEN they will return, "clean" the surface and start over. Just like they've done many times before.
reminds me of the meme where aliens land on Earth to subjugate its inhabitants under terms/conditions that are much lighter than the ones capitalists force on their workers - thus the people embrace the aliens with joy
There is ample evidence that aliens arrived on earth in September, 1945 and implanted an embryo into Mary Anne MacLeod. Nine months later, on June 14, 1946, a child was born. The rest is history.
Nah, if they came here with that "take me to your leader stuff", I'd be like, "Sure, as long as you take THESE ones with you and never bring them back"
Noteworthy that I think there is absolutely no SciFi in which one planet hosts the variety of nature or culture or even ethics like it exists on earth.
Trust me, aliens wouldn't land on earth. They do a Sunday night drive by with their kids saying "Look down there kids, that's the stupids. Can you believe they are destroying that planet?"
No way it would be like that episode of the Orville where they introduce an alien zoo keeping humans to reality television and it's the best thing they've ever seen because like humans they then get to go "thank fuck that's not me"
No show them around! Maybe they'll offer help. Show then around smiling and every so often make a horrified face and mouth help us and then go back to smiling
They don't even care to watch, they have better shows to choose. Untasteful reality tv show's are not something they care to watch, not even to sit while expel old constipated fermented poop.
True, but it would really eff up all the religionist's day....world views cratered, theologies toppled, being special ripped from them. You know making lemonade and all that.
Gee it could be handy if aliens did visit. Imagine the list of countries with leaders that need a good probe. Heck we could even suggest that they take these rats to an interstellar laboratory.
IDK. If I was nonconsentually abducted, detained, and probed by aliens, at least it would be for science and not because I didn't capitulate to tyrants or forgot to cover my drink in public. 🤷♀️

Aliens have been keeping humans from nuking the planet for decades if not eons. They don’t care if we kill each other but they won’t let us destroy Earth because it’s a valuable resource. They turn off our nukes whenever someone actually launches them. Giving us a time out to calm down.
“cool federation or whatever. yeah sorry about the mess we’re kind of going through some expositional shit that reveals the fabric of our society and our morals and whatnot. feel free to hang out”
I think it would be the perfect time for them to show up.
Either our first extraterrestrial contact would be peaceful with a democratically-aligned civilisation willing to help us, or one that would force most countries to cooperate to expel them if they're hostile.
I want aliens here as soon as possible.
I want them to say, “well, we tried, but this species was just too fucking stupid to make a go of it. Let’s try again. “

"Take me to your leader."
"Uhh...ONLY if you take him WITH you!"

Both of those seem better.

Not all aliens land in the US.
