Hey universe, next time buy me dinner before flinging your genetic material on top of me as I drive home from work.

An extraterrestrial civilization developed from animals that have hundreds of offspring at a time wouldn’t hold the same norms as ones that have one or two at a time. You could understand how a religious order would see your society as wicked and strive for a righteous one.

And when the realities of your biology kept preventing this, you would work on creating something where biology would foster an intense appreciation and respect of life. Intelligence to understand, long development time requiring effort- Long but limited life span.

You’d try at first to make them as close to you as possible but once that fails, you’d try almost anything and just focus on certain qualities.

Whether a civilization developed on land or underwater will determine if they use ípsilons or Omega technology. Each will have distinctive features and conventions. Once a culture and infrastructure is tied to one, it is virtually impossible to switch to the other.

3) The main differences between biological and geological is just time scale and energy source. 4) ípsilons and omegas have limitations and advantages. So If you can’t ípsilon a problem, you could ípsilon an omega to do it for you.

And Chill yo’ tits. If we pick up the pace of understanding with minimal freak-outs , we can avoid another factory reset. Ps- they have a religious sect that tries to emulate the morality of humans- they are considered puritanical, fundamentalist wackos. So be careful.

Evolution needs to be thought of more like stem cells with desired end points. It will try and retry many different paths to reach those end points. Some details will be different based on the path and adjustments may be needed but you’ll know when it gets there.

polychrombipeds. You’d have to know a little bit about their hunting style but this guy was frozen in time stuffing his face. These guys had eating disorders- they need therapy. Right after they get over that being dead for thousands of millennia situation. @NASAAstrobio

Ok, humans- look at Tracy’s rock in the foreground and then that hill in the background. Focus the the flatter part - see any similarities? Also, the one in the back was pregnant. @NASAAstrobio , you’re welcome!

If you are a civilization advancing underwater you can’t use fire for manipulating building material and develop technologies. Thermal vents are annoying to deal with and require everything is within a set area. So just like horses were our first cars, you use other animals.

It’s not all that hidden. Since it seems Dune will have to be moved from fiction to history with sand worms (squid) and all -“the sleeper has awoken” -ha! I kill me

This image of a moon rock has been public record forever. No one noticed it is obviously not geologically formed?

Come on, humans! The guys at NASA are making totally asses of you! They’ve literally been publishing images of the remains of extraterrestrials for years- they feel it’s their job to provide data but interpretation is up to us..we probably should review their JDs next quarter

And if the opportunity to make the big L announcement with not one but two squidduckens does mot convince them, nothing will.

Things that make you go hmmmmm- so pooperdoodles, I know it’s not explicitly in your job descriptions but if you find ginormous creatures on the moon, regardless how adorable, just send out an fyi, no biggie

Yo, humanity, before my time so maybe everyone just to mention but Apollo 17 took a picture of Tracy’s rock-which is clearly the remains of an animal. You can see organ structures in the second photo and there’s weird ass hill creatures in the back- you can even see ocular nerves

Not sure if those hill things are long dead or alive or what they did all day- they don’t report to me. I’m trying to find a study with the chemical composition of Tracy’s rock if anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated. I know a sample was held unopened until 2022
