we continue to look for intelligent life in the universe because we have yet to find any here
If it bleeds we can kill it plays qietly in the background
"Stop shaving you don't have a beard"
Corpseing.
We can't even agree on the definition of life (within the context of the search for life). Largely we've settled on: whatever definition helps win grants!
Kill the xenos!
Let's be xenophobic, it's really in this year
Let's find a nasty slimy ugly alien to fear
Xenos only deserve contempt.
For the Emperor!
For Space King!
SUFFER NOT THE ALIEN TO LIVE
Damn that’s awesome
I know what I’m listening to while painting tomorrow
Introducing the latest in intergalactic fashion: Extraterrestrial X-7 Hats – exclusive hats made from the skins of aliens from the newly discovered planet, Xeron-7. Crafted with precision, each hat is unique, showcasing the iridescent patterns and textures of the alien species.
X-7 Hats are out of this world!
Our thirst for blood cannot be bound by Sol's gravity.
Blood for the blood god!
Corn for the Khorne flakes!
This simply means the only reason we search life in other places is to take those places for ourselves.
Imagine what alien flesh would taste like! Mmmmm😋
Well yeah, we have to find it before we can kill it.
I'm from Buenos Aires and I say kill em all!
This saddens the hell out of me. I'm doing what I can to keep my impact minimal but still. To be alive, to engineer, hurts the planet if you're not very very careful.
There is a reason we direct antennas to detect intelligent live away from earth
Kind of relevant short story - my favourite

Is there life elsewhere on the universe?
Most likely
Does it move?
Shoot it
Seek out new life and new civilizations, and introduce deadly biological pathogens to their ecosystems!
Yes, absolutely. Sapient life? Most likely.
But will we ever have the chance to kill them?
Unless we can find a way to regularly exceed the speed of light... Not directly.
But Von Neumann probes might be the most efficient method of mass murder ever conceived!
Probably not, fortunately for them.
How can we sleep at night knowing they are living peacefully without democracy!
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. Then I realised I could spend My life meeting strange new otherkin right here on earth.
Just think about how much different life is just here, alone. I can't believe that there's absolutely nothing else out in the universe when there's so much variety of life here.
The US is currently descending into a fascist theocracy.
That's just a fact.
Congrats, you dragged US politics to a post that's about something else! 🏅
Literally everything is political.
You'll realize this when you grow up
The results of the US descending into a fascist theocracy will result in tangibly less climate action.
I cam't wait to be a grownup like you!
Username checks...out...? 😂
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
