Psh don’t be ridiculous. Obviously they cloned one and recorded it.

Often

Agreed. As an equally confused human as this OP, I think it’s about choice, luck, trust and possibly solar flares.

I too blunder through this world pretending I have an understanding of my wife of 20+ years and just opt to get excited when the light turns green.

There can be only one

I don’t see a date in this image, but this page might be more up to date and complete: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_potentially_habitable_exoplanets

Our cat after it breaks into the food bag unsupervised.

Whew, almost had to hide this from my wife.

From this perspective it looks like they are trying to mimic a hermit crab

I read somewhere there are at least 6 possibilities:

1. Dark forest theory - read at least book 1 and 2 of three body problem series or google for spoilers
2. A filter exists, or more plainly something that always causes a civilization to eventually fail.
3. Similar to Star Trek, other civilizations are waiting for us to pass a threshold before contact is made.
4. Carl Sagan: the universe is so large and intelligent life is so sparse, we just haven’t come across them yet.
5. Life on our planet is unique to the entire universe
6. Could also be a mixture of some of these.

Whatever it is, it’s a fascinating problem and I like Carl Sagan’s approach.

This. I have no problem with anything but the yellow jackets. Over the years, dog has been stung, I have been stung and my wife has been stung. All of us minding our own business and just got too “close.” I will burn those f@&)ers to the ground every chance I get.

Makes me think of the brain computer in fallout season 2. I’ll do folks the favor of not posting the image.

Derp

Talk about word salad. Pun intended. A better title might have been something like “Low-carb and low-fat diets associated with lower heart disease risk in certain cases” and let the reader figure it out.

Everyone knows you should keep your armys in your sleevys.

Spoiler alert: I don’t think it’s just the EPA.

Jim Henson muppet vibes.

Then inexplicably pulled over and told a large rock it was absolutely correct for no apparent reason.
