Oumuamua! How Shall We Address Our Alien Overlords?
So apparently some aliens are hurtling through interstellar space, straight for Earth, in a giant red cigar...
I for one welcome our interstellar travelling overlords, but let's at least learn to pronounce their names before we meet them. Unfortunately, scientists have a pretty good sense of humor, even when it comes to our total annihilation, and have dubbed the mysterious object ... OUMUAMUA, for some fucked up reason.
Roy Gal on Soundcloud clears up confusion. Apparently, it is pronounced like "ooooooh ... mwah mwah".. or in txt spk: OXX
or in meme speak:
Of course, more likely, it will turn out to be a big lump of carbon, in which case, they should have just called it, "big lump of carbon", but where's the fun in that I guess? Also of great concern to me, if it turns out to be a lump of rock and not travelling aliens, then I will have abused the #travel hashtag on this post. This shit keeps me up at night. Why can't life be simple?

it's just a trade delegation from Ursa Minor. They are coming to pick up a consignment of recycled cardboard from Mexico City. Apparently it's a delicacy for them. They're some kind of Termite / Wasp type communal insect origin.
They are also quite fond of anything sweet. This time, it will be Jean Claude Juncker's privilege to present them with a few vats of EU blended honey, which they get very excited about. They generally return the gift with very advanced equations, (which nobody can work out) and some blueprints for various nanotech products. Of course, ones which we have no idea to fabricate. But we humour them anyway, because they are 8 foot tall with a shiny black exoskeleton and bright red eyes.
They generally cloak up off the dark side of the moon where they are welcomed by Senior Officers (representatives of The International Space Outpost Corps). After the routine diplomatic welcome they send down some smaller craft for pickup and delivery. I say small, they would dwarf a USS Destroyer class ship, except their million ton ships can hover 3 inches off the floor effortlessly.
Comment of the century!
sci-fi innit bruv :)
Futurama coming to an Earth near you.
Hell yeahhh
Its funny when they're talking about "alien life" in scientific articles but you find out they're talking about microbes. Who cares about that? We're all looking forward to something that can walk and talk.
I would be pretty excited by microbes, but not surprised at all either. But yeah, some walking, talking, weaponized crazies would be fun
Yeah, it wouldn't be too surprising but maybe talking, walking would be fun but we can skip the weaponized for now. Lol
Haven't aliens already landed here?
Roswell
And why don't we ever get invited to chill with them unless it's being subjected to a anal probing marathon?
Selfish window lickers
Upvoted
Some of us like anal probing. Is it wrong to have ambitions to be probed by aliens? Asking for a friend.
I literally laughed out loud now in real life!
ROFL
cotrovesary of alien, but always curious!
