Say ‘Marco’ out really loud

Huh. I bought 3 tape measures in the USA and all 3 had both. In all 3 instances I just bought the cheapest option, I wasn’t even looking for anything in particular.

This reminds me of the six possibilities for extra terrestrial life, one of which is everyone is listening and no one is broadcasting.

NewPerspective, in People who post content because it makes you angry : why do you help it spread?

Accountability.

Start launching nukes into space in all directions. Don’t stop until someone outside Earth complains.

Or maybe just transmit a radio signal that says “Marco.”

Shepy, in What are some cool things you can do with Shortcuts on iOS?

Wow, it’s only taken ios 13 years to get tasker like automation? Amazing.

DeathWearsANecktie,

Looks like it’s going to take another 13 years for people to stop making these stupid, unhelpful comments

Reverendender,

Probably longer

cheese_greater,

We just don’t have the

garbagebagel, in Short(er) people of Lemmy--what are some lifehacks you figured out that've helped you out?

I bought a standing desk for my posture issues. It’s also too low when at the lowest setting so I had to transfer my bath stool to my desk and now I need to go buy an actual squatty potty cause I hate not reaching the ground from the toilet.

It’s perfect though because actual stools are too tall for sitting at a desk and a little bath stool like this has been perfect for my posture.

youRFate, in Where are some good places I can buy metric tape measures

Germany.

NewPerspective, in What companies have made your blacklist?

Most of them

If I were trying to get quiet aliens to communicate, I would try to get earthlings to clean up their own mess. I can’t imagine an advanced civilization wanting to bother with the sad tragedy of humanity’s self-destruction. There isn’t a day where some random human isn’t killing another, and there’s usually some government that has organized some mass-kill army operation against another country – or, worse, it’s own people. Even omitting the bloodthirsty, power-hungry, greedy, and liars, the general population can’t get together to work for the common good.

Maybe we could start by fixing the climate catastrophe, getting the trash out of the ocean, and then getting food and housing to everyone. If I was an alien that’d been avoiding Earth, that’s the sort of thing that would get my attention.

Kbin_space_program,

There's also the problem that an advanced civilization will seemingly always ruin a less advanced one with contact.

They might be staying away simply because they're isn't a solution to that issue.

Funny how you doomers somehow always expect that other advanced civilisations are somehow better in that regard.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Genuine question: do you think most intelligent life outside of Earth, of existent, is equal to or less advanced than Earth? Or at the same level in issues?

Because in that case, you’d become the doomer, cuz that’s depressing.

Which is the perfect premises for a Colonial Invasion by a “superioristic” neighbor. Like the Belgians bringing Civilization to Congo, or France shining the lights of the Republic to North Africa (and S-E Asia). Or the Spanish, saving South America through Religion.

Please, Lizards Overlords, make haste; I have a feeling it is a matter of emergency right now.

Iceblade02,

Yeah, only the “enlightenment” comes at the price of getting your hands chopped of if you produce insufficient precious materials. No thanks.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

@memfree this. A genocidal, ecocidal planet surrounded by space junk seems like an incredibly unappealing thing to contact.

angstylittlecatboy,

Personally I think the idea that sapient aliens are likely to be better than us is pretentious.

Marsey_Enjoyer, in Is CCleaner still people's preferred computer cleaning app?

No

LemmyKnowsBest, in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

Lure them with Reece’s Pieces.
