Funny, I actually have a running story in my head like this. People kept in little cages like hamsters, aliens choosing breeding pairs, or training them to fight each other. Some aliens would be debating the ethics of it all while others go, “Humans are much stupider than we are, so it’s okay to treat them like this.”

I’ve thought about things like this. What if humans could be kept by aliens as pets? What would that be like? Can any extremely bored writer reading this come up with something?

There was an episode of The Orville that was kinda like this.

It was exactly this. Right down to them being fed peanut butter and chili.

I’ve talked to my roommates about this, how we’d eat like a bowl of canned chili every day with a dollop of peanut butter as a treat.

Don’t exclusively eat peanut butter! Apparently it produces some toxin!

You probably mean aflatoxin that is produced by a mold that is common on peanuts.
