UN: "Boy, they really like using Star Trek memes to convey their thoughts...."

Well as someone with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as being on the spectrum, initially we'd be kinda screwed. I have spent a lot of time in therapy and have done a lot to manage it all, as well as developing empathy for myself and others, so not so bad.

However, I choose to be a non-theistic Satanist and an anarchist, so a lot of other people are going to be fucked. Especially those that deserve no empathy due to their hoarding of resources and exploitation of people and the planet.

Humanity is screwed.

They like being alone, don’t like loud noises, will find a reason to leave a situation with more than 3 people in a small area. They don’t have any sexual desire and will be most happy to go through life without ever having intercourse. Probably going to go extinct without outside intervention thanks to that, better intervene to preserve the species.

They want to hibernate when it’s cold outside. Cold = anything below 70f.

They’re herbivores though so at least they don’t destroy their planet by mass farming the cruelest and most inefficient food source possible. Silver lining?

Human population is very empathetic, but very kinky.

Well, there'll be a lot less billionaires pretty quickly, from there it's gonna be a lot of references to star trek, doctor who, dead philosophers and general southernisms.

Humans only want to masturbate, sleep and play board games. Sounds great

At one point in my job I was effectively the translator between English speaking Indian software devs, and American project managers. If I can translate technical information into something understandable to a PM, and vague program specs into actionable technical requirements for the devs I think we’d actually be alright with the aliens.

They're just gonna be commenting on Lemmy all day. Threat averted.

I'm autistic. So they'd be very confused with most people I think

I think it'd go great.

I feel like they'd be horrified, and conquer our planet and force us all into therapy, but think they'd see us as worth helping

I'm literally autistic and I can barely even talk to people anymore, so I imagine it'll be a gigantic disaster.

“Why do these aliens keep making stupid, unfunny jokes”?

Can't leave the flying saucer without having triple checked it's locked.

Humanity shall receive the gift of estrogen!

“Hmm, it looks like these humans really like ‘tentacle hentai’… we could use this to our advantage”

Intergalactic diplomacy will play out in World of Warcraft.

Let’s just say the overpopulation issue will be thoroughly resolved

Well... it could be worse... you should all thank them they didn't pick my sister.

Hey, the aliens want to communicate through a sarcastic misanthrope... well, I can't say I'd blame them.

I guess we're good. :)

In one sense? Very, very much. I hope y'all like tentacles. In another sense, the complete opposite of screwed. I hope y'all like free healthcare.

I am pedantic to a fault, capable of simultaneously being the most specific and most vague person you will ever speak with, and have the social skills of a carrot. I am also debilitatingly ADHD, reasonably autistic, and more intelligent than is able to produce an emotionally functional adult.

I will leave it up to you all on if you want me to be the model, but I'd be happy to if it were up to me.

I'll try my best.

Not bad. Couple of you fucks would be ackacked into non-existence but 99.997% of you would be alright.

As someone with d.i.d. it all comes down to which personality they take.

I'd say just barely north of average, but quickly declining.

Screwed!

But this is not a very good/logical/reasonable alien to be in contact with. There are so many ...ists with can call this alien. Generalization with sample of one? Pfff... They won't even get here...

I think u re asking on the wrong platform.

Wrong question. If they picked me, you ought to ask how screwed the aliens are...
