What do you mean? The Xilliens need water and have fast crafts, the Mysterians need Earth Women, and the people of the black hole need a new planet to live on. And the Seatopians and Emperor and Antonio are probably pissed due to all the plastic and pollution in the ocean. We fucked boys.

The Seatopians aren't aliens, we've been over this

Of course not, hence me putting them in a separate sentence. Just pointing out we fucked.

If aliens ever broke through the clouds one day, it'd destroy almost all faith in any kinda religious figure humanity has, while also deconstructing thousands of years of belief and social structures. It'd be a totally wicked Final Friday.

And the chances of anything from Warping Telepathic Xenomorphs, to just another Earth filled with humans, billions of light years away with no knowledge of our existence in the existential plane is equally as likely. It's like waiting decades for a potential surprise party, lmao.

Side question: If an exact Sun to Earth ratio occurred millions of light years away, and the exact circumstances that occurred to Earth occurred to the planet, could it be possible that we eventually come to be over there?

Religions have been preparing for this sort of shit for years, thousands of years of tradition aren't going to die just because some ayylmaos visit

It's the slow knife of subversion that kills tradition

I feel like if aliens existed, and posed zero actual threat, things would be crazy for a few weeks, and then everyone would just get over it. We'd get a lot of weird repercussions, like people wanting to skreeonk the aliens, but I digress.

And to many religions, aliens would just validate their beliefs more.

The best part about having the word filter off is that you can see who’s swearing and who’s actually typing “skreeonk” and “poop”

I knew it was going to be censored so I just said skreeonk it.

What if they discover alien life and it's just a bunch of frogs living on Mars or something

RIP to the idiots attending the Area 51 raid.

If those frogs have no genetic similarity of any kind to terrestrial life, showing that they evolved independently on Mars, that would still be a major, major find. And if life (advanced, multicellular life, no less) evolved twice (or more) in a single solar system, that would imply that life must be incredibly common in the universe. Or that our solar system is really freaking weird, one.

EDIT: And those would have to be some incredibly badass frogs to survive the Martian environment, so there's that.

Heck, if they do have genetic similarity to terrestrial life, that would also be a major, major find - just one with a different set of possible implications.

RIP to the idiots attending the Area 51 raid.

Is this still happening? I thought everyone gave up and went home.

EDIT: woooooooow.

So I just looked it up,and only 150 people actually showed up! It started 3:00 in the morning,ended at 6,and some weirdo really did do the Naruto run.

Nobody died,thank God.

It’s time the government starts seriously exploring clean energy solutions instead of Middle Eastern oil, offshore drilling, and fracking.

11% of the Military Budget Could Fund Enough Renewable Energy for Every Home in the US

They could have built enough schools to cover almost every child in the US with the money the sunk into the JSF program

But that would be unfair to businesses!

Democrats launch a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump in the wake of allegations that he attempted to pressure Ukraine into investigating the Biden family's relationship with a Ukrainian natural gas company; in response Trump has promised to release the full transcript of his phone calls with President Zelensky that prompted these allegations tomorrow

My guess is this isn't going to go much anywhere

British Supreme Court rules against PM Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament

[UltramanGoji]

This article fails to mention that the inquiry is being centered around not just the Ukraine call but multiple calls from the whistleblower.

It is going to explode in the Democrats faces. With the Muller report not finding any evidence of Russia collusion, not to mention how Muller himself looked like crap at the hearing, no sane person believes that Trump should be impeached. At this point, the Dems are making themselves look like they believe that Trump should be impeached just for eating.

[BlankAccount]

Guess I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Ditto.

I mean, Christ, Clinton was impeached for obstruction of justice. Trump admitted his own obstruction of justice by firing Comey in an attempt to end the investigation into Russian election tampering.

Edit: Lol, He also knowingly falsified an official weather report to make himself appear right. 18 U.S. Code § 2074: Whoever knowingly issues or publishes any counterfeit weather forecast or warning of weather conditions falsely representing such forecast or warning to have been issued or published by the Weather Bureau, United States Signal Service, or other branch of the Government service, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both.

That's a crime the president committed. That is impeachable. If you're going to claim "no sane person believes that Trump should be impeached" then I think it's up you to provide evidence that Trump has not committed any crimes whatsoever in office. That would be the sane thing to do, right? Sorry, but if your support of the president goes so far as to claim he's done no wrong then you've been sipping the Kool-Aid.
