Probably just stare at them with a certain level of fear depending on how stereotypical they look as an alien.

you basically described ~~racism~~ xenophobia

Did that offend you? We're talking about extraterrestrials here, right?

14 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 12 Nov

No, just wanted to point it out. I realized racism does not apply to extraterrestrials; xenophobia is the correct term for them (which is a umbrella term for racism afaik). I also found a better reply now haha

Haha. Well played. 👏

I would dance this with music and see if they also start dancing.

I think dancing to music is pretty universally understood as having fun and not hostile.

I wonder what would we call it? Any idea?

160 sats \ 2 replies \ @OneOneSeven 12 Nov

If it can communicate somehow then I'm asking:

Why are you here? What are you called? How do you travel? Who tells you what to do? Will we see 58k btc again?

It was good till you said "Will we see 58k btc again?" 💀

I'm sure they'd answer with their version of "Have Fun Staying Poor"

In my experience, most humans do get quite uncomfortable.

Experience? 👀 Have you met them?

23 sats \ 4 replies \ @7e6e393a56 12 Nov

What would this approach look like? Because it would change my answer a lot. If it "looked" peaceful I would try to communicate in some way

You see Bears look cuddly and cute, but if you even by mistake go somewhere near them...you're doomed!

So, I don't think appearance really matters here?

That's a good point.

Thank you!

That's why I left "looked" in quotation marks. You're right...appearances can be deceiving.

Ask them to teach me something I can only learn from them.

What would you do by knowing it? 👀

19 sats \ 3 replies \ @Imyourfed OP 12 Nov

lol! What would you do if you ruled the world? Make BTC the only currency? Make it a rule that everyone should have an account on SN? I'm curious :)

43 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 12 Nov

Thats’s it. I’d force everyone to have an SN account. :)

It could be another thing I would like to do is tell the US government 😈

I'll attempt to find communication paths and will start asking questions for space and insights of their civilization/technologies.

Awesome choice! I'm sure they'll be happy to share some wisdom with you :)
