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!
Humans included*

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.

Is there life elsewhere on the universe?
Most likely
Does it move?
Shoot it

There is a reason we direct antennas to detect intelligent live away from earth

The US is currently descending into a fascist theocracy.
That’s just a fact.
oldfart@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Congrats, you dragged US politics to a post that’s about something else! 🏅
SoftTeeth@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Literally everything is political.
You’ll realize this when you grow up

I suddenly want to play Championship Manager. Couldn’t possibly tell you why.
samus12345@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Yes, absolutely. Sapient life? Most likely.

But will we ever have the chance to kill them?
kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
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!

How can we sleep at night knowing they are living peacefully without democracy!
samus12345@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Probably not, fortunately for them.

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.
