Over the past decade, scientists have detected a puzzling phenomenon: radio pulses coming from within our Milky Way galaxy that would pulse every two hours, like a cosmic heartbeat. The long radio blasts, which lasted between 30 and 90 seconds, appeared to come from the direction of the Ursa Major constellation, where the Big Dipper is located.

      Predator aliens would at least be better than the aliens from Independence day. As long as you don’t present yourself as a threat and they aren’t actively hunting you, they will leave you alone.

        I disagree that we deserve it, since that’s just some random third party. What we’ll deserve is being enslaved and demolished by them after they win sweeping elections because everyone wanted to give something new a try and some bullshit about aliens already running the government and media in a totally-not-antisemitic-dog-whistle.

      Now if you’re thinking that it would solve all our problems cause humanity would unite against the common threat, I think you’d get a disappointing, pessimistic but pretty realistic wake up call.

        I think most people are past the phase of uniting against a common threat and more in the “can someone just stop us, already? Because we are a shitshow” phase
