Alien First Impressions

[Wu Wei]

"How is that Quetzal fella so much better looking than the rest?"

Obviously these aliens share the same subjective, and probably skewed, concept of beauty as we humans.

DINNER!!!

Tastes just like chicken?

Tastes just like chicken?

Free range/junk fed?

As an aside, given that the human race has only been transmitting into space for 83+ years, that would put any aliens in our own back yards to begin with, as 83 light years is not far in terms of the universe. Aliens from the Andromeda galaxy won't even be aware of our existence for just under 2.5 million years...

 

[Akivah]

You're presuming that the alien race is organic, if not...

"Why do they have all those organic meat bags constantly massaging them?"

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Let's suppose that aliens stumble upon our little blue rock and observe us from afar. What would be some of their first impressions or thoughts? Here are a few I came up with...

"I don't quite understand their fascination and reverence of this cartoon mouse they call 'Mickey'."

"What is the big deal with these 'cat' creatures?"

"How is that Quetzal fella so much better looking than the rest?"

Yes. I think they might assume cats are on top- dogs next, then humans since we follow them around picking up their c**p!

Pretty. Densely populated with various lifeforms. Unfortunately, no sign of any intelligent species.

Clearly they're just blind.

 

[Quetzal]

Clearly they're just blind.

You are just jealous these fictional aliens prefer Beagles with top hats!

 

[Revoltingest]

Could it be that you're good looking the way BBQed ribs are good looking?

 

[Quetzal]

Could it be that you're good looking the way BBQed ribs are good looking?

You would eat me?!

 

[Revoltingest]

You would eat me?!

Not now.....you've evolved from livestock to beloved pet.

How did those little six legged female animals in the mounds manage to conquer the land bits of the planet so thouroughly? They're everywhere!

How can the life forms survive at all when most of them rely on such a notoriously dangerous and chemically reactive gas to breathe?

And there are active volcanos and windstorms everywhere, and like a fifth of the planet is just ice?

And they talk with their meat. Meat sounds!

 

[Politesse]

Only some of them! Most of them talk with their exoskeletons and/or scent glands.

 

[Revoltingest]

Bunch of aggressive apes that never overcame their tribal psychology, but somehow acquired the technology to blow each other up and foul their own nest into a mass extinction.

Place your bets, gentlemen. Environmental collapse or nuclear annihilation?

I expect that neither will happen.
We'll be conquered & exterminated by giant space crabs....

DANGER: KEEP AWAY! Humans are a species that are prone to extreme acts of violence. Though not all of them will resort to violence, many of them will. They frequently kill each other, and because they tend to be very afraid of things they do not understand or are unknown to them, the risk of serious injury and death from encountering a human is too high. It is likely you will be captured, sent away to a research lab, and become a specimen to be studied and possibly disected.

The Andromedan empire is in no hurry. They've already launched their whole galaxy on a collision course with ours.
Assimilation is only a matter of time.

They may say, I wonder how these funny looking creatures taste ?.
