The whole world is in lockdown pretty much and wouldn't it be wild if the reason for this is we are going to be contacted by aliens soon? Like there's really no point in ending lockdown and there seems to be some crazy things happening astronomically at the moment... When aliens are going to show up soon. What are your thoughts British mums on the interwebs? Capitalism will be ending soon because there's no point anymore guys, get ready for AI life. Gin

I think any aliens are more likely to be like mice or frogs or bacteria than advanced life forms who've managed to figure out how to cross the vast distances involved to come and visit us.

Oh yes, let's go visit a planet full of primitive, diseased and contagious life forms, that sounds like a fantastic reason to travel all the way from another galaxy. Said no intelligent alien, ever

If they have already been visiting us then they are much smarter than us...

I think if Aliens know what is good for them they'll steer well clear of this shit show.... but then hey, why not it is 2020, I'm fully accepting that this might be the next "thing".

If anything they’d be house hunting & thinking, yup, nice enough place, once we’ve fumigated....

They've probably been and gone! Might pop back in a few centuries when they've sorted the whole climate crisis and plague thing.

Aliens would take one look and fly away screaming from the lunatic Terrans

Stephen Hawking used to say that a visit from aliens would not be a good idea

Think what has always happened on Earth to the much less developed inhabitants when visitors with much better tech - and bugs - arrived

“Pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space, because there’s bugger all down here on Earth.”

So true.
