Clothesline -> bounce off the ropes -> elbow drop

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are they landing specifically in front of me? Or like, they landed somewhere?

Cause, honestly, I'd probably have to go to work still lol

posad solidarity posadas

Please help the socialists overthrow capitalism, the ruling class is going to attack you anyway.

The same thing we do every night, you pinko, try to take over the world!

I sometimes fall asleep imagining scifi stories about aliens coming to earth and ending imperialism, i think I watched too much startrek

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wow, I do the exact same thing sometimes! Also watched allot of Star Trek. It's not ideal for me, because it's not a calm topic, but if I can't help thinking about these things anyway, might as well. How does it work for you? Any tips, what (else) to think about when falling asleep?

I'd call them visitors not aliens. I feel like they'd appreciate it.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There's a Wojak comic I saw, around the time covid really became a pandemic, where a flying saucer lands and a posad steps out, and the doomer seeing the alien just says "Yeah."

posad "I thought you'd be more shocked or something."

doomer "I got a lot going on right now."

There's also a joke in Poland where US astronauts made a first landing on Mars and before they manage to come out aliens weld the hatch from outside because Poles were there first and taught them some practical industrial worker jokes.

I'd start uncontrollably screeching at them "PLEASE HELP LAZER ZAP ALL BILLIONAIRES AND DESTROY THE US MILITARY PLEASE DO SOMETHING"

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

Go to work. Hear about it when I check in with this website at 11pm via some 3rd degree meme that doesn't even specifically say what happened. Go to bed at a reasonable hour.

show them a picture of my butthole and explain this is a traditional earth greeting they should replicate to get on our good sides

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

A picture? I mean it’s right there!

[–] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

Hope they liberate us from capitalism, and also I'd ask if they can give me a dog tail and ears because I'd like those

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

sit-back-and-enjoy

I'd be over the moon (pun intended) because a whole lot of space libertarian bullshit theories about how the entire universe is just a bunch of resource nodes to strip-mine to make more bazinga trash would be BTFO and the space libertarians would, instantly, realize there's someone that doesn't answer to them.

Report to the ship as soon as possible

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

Well, I'm trying to make a little tool rack today.

idk, with everything else going on, it just kind of feels like it'd be out of the scope of my concerns. I'd probably glue myself to the News Mega.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

The London system with white or the Sicilian with black

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Given how they're super intelligent, I'd ask them when they sent Lenin over to earth disguised as one of us

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

I keep asking them to let me stay or take me with or at least let me take some pictures or have a regular way and they keep saying "It's against the rules".

[–] D61@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Put on an extra dog collar and hope they treat me well?

Probably still go to work and check my phone a lot. If the arrival of aliens means I suddenly don't have to pay rent, something else
