Joke’s on them, that’s my kink.

The animals know there is a weird device there, they just sniff at it and keep going. Humans would probably investigate weird out of place things, especially in cities and more dense areas.

So aliens are watching me jerk off to femdom? Good, I want them to see.
xia@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
By extension, ufo and alien abduction stories may be likened to animals trying to get others to believe they saw a tree flash a brilliant light late at night.

Not just cameras… Probes👽😮
Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Which is probably why they haven’t tried to make contact. “Oh look! It’s a planet full of fundamentalist chimps with nuclear weapons” “should we pop over and say hi?” “Nah, fuck that noise!”

It’s called Dark Matter. C’mon, what’s more likely, 85% of the universe is completely unobservable by chance? Or by design?
Any post-scarcity civilization that advances past Prime Directive territory just quantum-shifts half a dimension to the left so they can all hang out together without bothering anyone else.
Aliens don’t judge you, though. No judgemental species can collaborate long enough to go Dark, you either evolve past those primitive instincts or self-destruct.

This is a topic in the 3 body problem series of books. The aliens have photons (?) that spy on everything the humans do so the humans have no way of planning against their attack without them knowing. The humans assign a few people to make plans with no oversight and without telling anyone else their plan.
Highly recommend the books.throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago

Sophon
sicarius@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s the one, and the humans making plans were called wallfacers.
Sorry I wasn’t sober when writing that comment last night.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 months ago
There was a TV SciFi series for kids with some guys from the future arriving in our time to solve an issue, and they had cameras the size of pins they could stick anywhere to see what’s happening.
The fun of the series was that those guys from the future had barely a clue how to blend in in our time, with a historian of them trying to make them fit in.

So when the hell do we find out the results from the judging? What can we win?

humans are animals

The Aliens might also be animals, you know?

They could also be fungi, or bacteria

suswrkr@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
can you define ‘the wild’? what about houseless encampments, are those humans in the wild? we treat them like animals, so maybe you’re onto something.

Try sun is the flash the universe is a camera
We are inside a black hole being observed.
ICastFist@programming.dev 10 months ago
I suspect they’ll just stop bothering with the surveillance and go straight for reality tv and internet porn, much more telling of us as a whole
Hotrod54chevy@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Or, they can abduct people and anyone who says they were abducted will be called crazy? 🤔

remon@ani.social 10 months ago
Unless these aliens can break the laws of physics their cameras will produce heat and have send signals somewhere. So we’ll be able to detect them.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They could easily send the signals away from us. How would we detect something like that?

Heat is directed into the 8th dimension.

No wonder why the Red Lectroids are so permanently pissed off.
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I tried going down this line of thinking too, but any assumption you make is predicated on the belief that they would use means that we are familiar with. Just because we do not know of a way to do such and such does not mean it does not exist. This post is referring to a fundamental epistemic problem.
throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Humans didn’t even have the technology to observe most of the eletromagnegtic spectrum for like practically all of human history apart from the recent hundred of years or so, bold of you to assume there isn’t higher form of techology that’s undetectable to us. I mean, the North Sentinese and other uncontacted tribes around the world still can’t even fanthom that we are talking to each other using radiowaves in the air.
There is this sci-fi novel called Three Body Problem and
spoiler
the aliens used a high tech AI supercomputer called the “Sophons” that can be invisible to humans and are spying on Earth in order to plan for an invasion. Humans only figured out after scientists started dying, seemingly mysteriously.
Its sci-fi, but like, they could just take advantage of the tech we already have and hack our servers to gather data, and even if humans figure it out about the hacking, they would just think it was human criminal and its just labeled as a “databreach”. (Who knows, maybe one of the databreaches are actually just aliens gathering data.)
remon@ani.social 10 months ago
bold of you to assume there isn’t higher form of techology that’s undetectable to us.
I think it’s very unlikely that there will ever be a technology that can get around fundamental laws of nature, like entropy.
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Those aliens will be vexed for sure!

The birds are watching you.
Try leaving bird seeds. They’ll know instantly, because they’re always watching you.
If you don’t leave bird seeds they will find your car and shit on it.

SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You know that documentary show “Spy in the Wild” where they film animals using animatronics that look like those animals. Well aliens are probably doing it right now to us. Lifelike androids are among us. Some of us are even married to them and have kids with them. The aliens are so advanced that they can human robots that are human like down to the cell.

Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Yeah, they are gonna notice the violence & greed too in terms that it impedes progress of the species & degrades the environment we depend on.
But butt-stuff too, yes, it’s very popular on the galactic local sector news.
Etterra@discuss.online 10 months ago
I mean, yeah. If someone had the technology to not only fly half a billion light years to get to our little mud ball (in person or with advanced machines) they’d have a trivial time hiding and blending in. Most likely for the same reason, since there’s literally nothing we have that they could want other than to study us as a curiosity. The only resource we have that they couldn’t find easier and more abundantly, or reproduce from samples, is our culture. That’s it, that’s the only thing we have that might be considered with the effort. Not water, air, energy, precious metals, phosphorous, brains, mates, food, slaves, vassals, soldiers, or anything else that would be worth the trip.
conditional_soup@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I mean, if you can reasonably bridge the gulf between stars, scientific advancement is basically all that’s left, unless it’s just your culture to be slaving, warmongering dickheads. Your home solar system probably has all the raw materials and energy you could ever ask for.
seven_phone@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I think honestly that is the most likely answer to why aliens have not visited, they just are not interested.
Wispy2891@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They saw the horrors that our species can do in wars and promptly left the planet

emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
I mean other humans already do this. Satellites are staring at you 24/7, even when youre inside they can theoretically track you with infrared/disruptions to the wifi signal or other epectromagnetic signals, or even using sound waves. I doubt they have the processing power yet to watch everyone all the time but its a safe bet that there are certain humans under constant surveillance by somebody.
