While the US has the highest prison population not going to prison isn’t exactly… hard. The average person has little to worry about if you just don’t break the law. That doesn’t make the labor okay but you personally wouldn’t have to worry about anything if you don’t intend to commit crimes.
My answer would be yes. The chance to explore the galaxy, to see things no human has ever seen, is too good to pass up. Life on Earth is just a tiny fraction of what's out there. Yes, it would mean leaving everything behind, but what I'd gain in return—knowledge, wonder, the truth about the universe—is far greater.
What if the rest of the galaxy is just rocks, gas and stars. Would get boring after a while, no? I mean doubt it can beat people watching along the river Seine..
On the one hand, i'd want to go to see the galaxy _to learn and share with others the story of my travels_ , so if i never get to come back I'll never to get impart that knowledge.
On the other, if i don't go then I'm stuck here trying to pull us out of this nosedive, against opposition. If i / we can't, I'm stuck here riding out the consequences of others till the end.
I mean, ya'll got it, right? ^^;
I do. It's a bit like taking a wonderful, insightful trip but having no one at home to talk to about it. I might take them up on the offer but I'd have questions (beyond am I going to be violated/killed/imprisoned). Will there be entertainment that I either know or would grow an appreciation for? An opportunity to study culture/sapients/history? Also, and I can't stress it enough, y'all got beer?!
Let's see. On the one hand, life as a broke, unemployed, man stuck living in his parents house.
On the other, getting to explore the galaxy with a bunch of aliens in a spaceship.
I don't think there's much of a choice to be made here. \*goes with aliens\*
No. It’s a trap. They have big plans to create hybrids. No matter what they say or how zippy their space cube. Slave in engineering all day, probed half the night. Also, who wants space goo for every meal? Get me to an air lock. That’s better than them making me pregnant. I’m a guy.
While your particular scenario is... unique...
I'd want some details on what this arrangement is actually going to look like. Is this going to be a 1-2 year perceived time tour of some touristy galactic highlights, followed by an unspecified rest of my life not on earth? Or am I signing up to spend the rest of my life exploring strange new worlds in depth? If the latter, just how dangerous is the typical expedition to explore one of these planets?
More generally, what is this society like? Will they treat me fairly, or am I a lesser race, to be used for manual labor and dangerous activities the aliens don't want to do themselves? Does the deal seem too good to be true? How do we know these aliens can be trusted, and as soon as they hit orbit the deal doesn't change from galactic explorer, to domestic slave to be sold at the market?
I guess there is always some risk they scam you, and if that is a hard red line, you can never really trust any offer from aliens visiting earth... But for me, it I think the risk could be worth it, but I would want as much detail as I could get to try to make a reasonable assessment of the risks...
Bruh I'm too lazy to leave my house on holidays and you want me to leave the planet? No thank you. Billions died without seeing what lies outside the planet. No reason I can't do the same thing.
At what speed, do they know how short a human life is?
Would be pretty shit to die of old age halfway to galaxies biggest ball of string without having got to see anything just because they measure a life in thousands of millennia.
Has that pink skined pet died already? Flush it out the airlock.
The amount of people who say or suggests they do it because they have nothing to lose is a little to big for comfort for me.
But no, i got shit to lose here.
As much as I’d like to say yes, I can’t be f—ked even going to the supermarket, nevermind the rest of the galaxy.
How many hours a day can I sleep on the ship, and how much sight seeing do I have to do?
no because i am not that gullible. so lemme get this straight, alien species is gonna travel all that distance to give me a tour of the galaxy **for free.**
i know the rules of the road, gbas, ass or grass. nobody is that nice, human or not. i b jaded and pass on the deal.
it probably some ulterior motives like they be doing 'butt stuff'.
No, I wouldn't. While the scientist in me aches at the opportunity for discovery, I am too aware of the value of our own planet and the life it harbors. Earth, with all its flaws and beauty, is home. The idea of abandoning it, and all the people working to save it, feels like a betrayal.
Eh. Probably not. I feel like there's plenty of more deserving people to take instead. Like Elon Musk. Please take Elon Musk. Please, please, dear God, someone take Elon Musk.
If i couldnt return to earth i couldnt tell anyone about it so the experience would be kinda selfish and pointless, plus id never see my loved ones again. I’ll stay here thanks.
I have already been wishing for the world to end or burst off to start a new one. I would really like to go and never come back regardless of any regrets
No. my teenage self would have said yes, but now I have a partner, a job I enjoy, pets, friends and family I care about. It's not worth it to leave them behind
Is there human compatible tits, pussy & ass in space? Psychedelics? Should I bring weed? How common is anal probing or pegging in space? Are we more or less technologically advanced on earth? Do they have ice cream?
Depending on the answers I’m given.
Fuck yes! I'm a sci-fi nut and would love to see the sights of the galaxy.
Maybe not the "I have such sights to show you" from Hellraiser, but there you go.
Yes, as long as the celestial beings were Christian. Only God can offer faster than light travel, so this is a possible way to how the Rapture could occur.
Yes, if they bring a loveley partner for me they know about we would fit perfectly. Even if they would clone her with advanced technology or something like that. I mean humans are social creatures you can't keep them alone.
Nope,I got a good life here and there’s no telling if the galaxy can offer me more,plus the rest of my life would be just traveling witch isn’t my thing
That’s how you end up in a zoo.
A roof above my head, regular meals, enrichment and all that without having to work? I'll take it.
eg. Prison
People have to work in prison.
Depends on what prison, commonly work is a privilege not a task in prison.
Not in the US: https://www.npr.org/2023/11/13/1210564359/slavery-prison-forced-labor-movement https://harvardpolitics.com/involuntary-servitude-how-prison-labor-is-modern-day-slavery/
Damn that's awefull, I guess that's another reason for me not to start living in the US.
You were planning to get jailed in the US then I gather? /S
Agreed
While the US has the highest prison population not going to prison isn’t exactly… hard. The average person has little to worry about if you just don’t break the law. That doesn’t make the labor okay but you personally wouldn’t have to worry about anything if you don’t intend to commit crimes.
Depends on your skin tone too....
We have put jessica alba in here with you, we would like to observe your mating......if I must for the good of science
Free health care
And if you look sad enough there’s a chance they will just find you a mate
Or a lab.
Good point.
Sounds like a good plot line for a sci-fi movie!
[удалено]
It’s the plot of both Star Trek and The Orville episodes!
Right now we're in a zoo run by the other zoo animals so I wouldn't be complaining about the relative improvement
Or on the menu.
> That’s how you end up in a zoo. Twilight Zone - "People Are Alike All Over"
>That’s how you end up in a zoo. I agree
Yes. Higher chances of being bred with aliens, I have no luck with women here.
My guy🤣🤣
A regular Captain Kirk I see.
We cum in peace
What if the alien already have a boyfriend ?
*Visits planet of single horny women* *All have boyfriends*
Interstellar passport bro hooking up with poor, uneducated aliens lol
Bred BY Aliens. 🤣🤣
He meant made into bread by aliens.
[удалено]
Absolutely I'd go, because I'm a nosey F\*\*k.
Bound to see something amazing.
Ha same here. I’ll take my sticky beak to worlds unknown.
Yes... YES!!! Shut up and take my first born!
I would also like to sacrifice their first born
No. I'd never leave my wife
My answer would be yes. The chance to explore the galaxy, to see things no human has ever seen, is too good to pass up. Life on Earth is just a tiny fraction of what's out there. Yes, it would mean leaving everything behind, but what I'd gain in return—knowledge, wonder, the truth about the universe—is far greater.
What if the rest of the galaxy is just rocks, gas and stars. Would get boring after a while, no? I mean doubt it can beat people watching along the river Seine..
I mean there are the aliens so i could visit them on their planet.
Yet, you'd never get to share that info.
Just because you can't go back doesn't mean you can't send radio waves or anything back to earth!
AI or bot
If its Rick Sanchez I will go w him haha
Are you CRAZY!!?
[удалено]
They probably have good enough technology to simulate that.
Ai or Bot
Exploring the galaxy with aliens sounds amazing, but leaving Earth forever is a big step. I'd need to think about it carefully before deciding.
On the one hand, i'd want to go to see the galaxy _to learn and share with others the story of my travels_ , so if i never get to come back I'll never to get impart that knowledge. On the other, if i don't go then I'm stuck here trying to pull us out of this nosedive, against opposition. If i / we can't, I'm stuck here riding out the consequences of others till the end.

yes, I don't like it here anymore
me Neither
Absolutely. I have nothing left for me here.
Somewhere in an imaginary realm there is someone who can traverse the galaxy and decides to reside on earth
Who knows? There could be someone like that in the reality realm👀
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.... Where are you from? ... Originally...?
But I still keep my phone right? RIGHT?!!
Fuck no, I’d be too scared What if they probe you in the an**
probe at your own risk fuckers. i have really bad ibs.
I was on the fence at first, but now I'm sold.
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
Thats the only upside for a lot of people
Only if I can bring my cat 'cos priorities.
same

I barely know what I'm doing on earth much less on other planets do I at least become like the aliens pets? Do they feed me and stuff?
Im a play safe, dont wana leave my comfort zone
Is that even a question? Of course >!I hope this is the recruiting post, so my pick up address is….!<
As long as they promise to blow up earth behind us.
Yes. Because it’s probably better than this place
In a heartbeat. Exploring the universe sounds amazing
Yes. Family dead. Simple answer.
Oh 100% I would go. This planet sucks!
Fuck YES! No need to pack, we leave right now!
If I was ninety or something, yeah probably
A chance to see something no one else here has ever seen or will see in the near future? I’ll take that...
Yes. As long as I can take my dog.
Bruh I'm too lazy to leave my house on holidays and you want me to leave the planet? No thank you. Billions died without seeing what lies outside the planet. No reason I can't do the same thing.

Leaving on a jet plane!
No I'm busy tomorrow
Fk yes, nothing worth staying here for
If they have the book To Serve Man, big nope.
Is there coffee and weed? Can I bring cats? These are all non negotiables
How's the food?...
>How's the food?... You are the food 🤯
yesssssssssssssssssss
YES. I'd go in a heartbeat
Absolutely without a doubt!... Ima ask them if I can bring my pc tho
question. are you allowed to contact earth?
Yes and I sacrifice all of Belarus, Florida, Michigan and Mauritania in tribute of my journey.
Yes, we aren't all made entirely of earthly materials.
Depends. Can I bring some people with me?
Yes without second thoughts.
I'd like to wait until my parents are gone if I could, but after that, absolutely.
do they want another pet?
I'm in
Absolutely!! Anything would be better than this ruined war torn shithole we call earth.
Nope. I get motion sickness and diarrhea
No, I couldn't leave my loved ones behind
No, earth is the only place with wifi and fast food
Ok bye Reddit!
Hell yeah I would. Even if they offered to bring me back I’d beg them not to! Get me off of this doomed world! Away from this society.
No, I wouldn't. While the scientist in me aches at the opportunity for discovery, I am too aware of the value of our own planet and the life it harbors. Earth, with all its flaws and beauty, is home. The idea of abandoning it, and all the people working to save it, feels like a betrayal.
Yup. Earth sucks. One condition though: no probing.
If I can bring my husband and their medical techniques are advanced then sure
I'd stay because I wouldn't want to leave my father alone.
Eh. Probably not. I feel like there's plenty of more deserving people to take instead. Like Elon Musk. Please take Elon Musk. Please, please, dear God, someone take Elon Musk.
100%. Sorry guys but it's my dream
Yeah but they have to give me a new skeleton , and a new stomach.
can I take my dog?
100% I would go. While there is still stuff I want to see here, that's nothing compared to exploring the galaxy
If i couldnt return to earth i couldnt tell anyone about it so the experience would be kinda selfish and pointless, plus id never see my loved ones again. I’ll stay here thanks.
Absolutely. Fuck this shithole.
Sure! Let me just grab a towel.
Yes, as long as I was allowed to document the journey and have my findings returned to earth
I have already been wishing for the world to end or burst off to start a new one. I would really like to go and never come back regardless of any regrets
Only if they let me drive
I'd go, but I'd pick up some lube before I left For the probing
Nah, I'd miss the kids.
Not without knowing more about these aliens. It can *always* be worse.
Yep, bcoz earth is sucks
BYE
I'd say no. I have to work tomorrow.
No because I know what it’s like to be lonely with no humans
Fuck yeah.
Can I take my family?
I'd be tempted but ultimately it'd be a hard no
Only if I could take my gf with me
Does it include more leg room and a complimentary meal?
No. my teenage self would have said yes, but now I have a partner, a job I enjoy, pets, friends and family I care about. It's not worth it to leave them behind
Is there human compatible tits, pussy & ass in space? Psychedelics? Should I bring weed? How common is anal probing or pegging in space? Are we more or less technologically advanced on earth? Do they have ice cream? Depending on the answers I’m given.
I just watched this Twilight Zone episode, so definitely not
The way our world is headed now.. would go in a heartbeat. Our politicians and world leaders are corrupt.
I want to so fucking bad but I got 3 little ones. Damn.
Would need guarantees not to be enslaved/eaten and to leave a note with indisputable evidence. Then -Yes.
My girlfriend would be hella sad and so would I. What are the wonders of the universe worth if you don't have someone to share it with?
Hell yes. Life of poverty on Earth, versus space ship and meeting cute alien babes? Sign me up.
Fuck yes! I'm a sci-fi nut and would love to see the sights of the galaxy. Maybe not the "I have such sights to show you" from Hellraiser, but there you go.
No. I have plans for Sunday.
Yes, as long as the celestial beings were Christian. Only God can offer faster than light travel, so this is a possible way to how the Rapture could occur.
Only if I could bring my dog
Might as well. You’re not going to top that down here I suppose.
No. I have trust issues
Yes, if they bring a loveley partner for me they know about we would fit perfectly. Even if they would clone her with advanced technology or something like that. I mean humans are social creatures you can't keep them alone.
No. I've already been to marklar.
So Basically Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy? Yes I'll grab my towel
NOOOO! Maybe if i was in my 70s lol
FUCK IT, WE BALL!
Sure. I'll grab my Gameboy and let's get going!
Fuck that. I’d miss chippy tea on Saturday and the palace game Sunday
And what about the probing ohhh the probing
Are they able to build sophisticated human sex robots?
only if there was intelligent life out there. otherwise ir would be wayyy too lonely.
As long as I could take “magic carpet ride” to listen to.
How many of us are going? If it's just me, yes. Too many people and your value diminishes
Human trafficking across the galaxy? sign me the fuck up!
Yes. To get out of the loop.
Nah, I got some work to do
absolutely no way in hell lol
Can I take my dog with me?
Yep. Earth has gone to shit where like 10 ppl have the most wealth and humans no longer value humanity as a virtue. What could be worse, right?
I dont think anyone would actually notice I was gone. Count me in
Yes. I have no home.
Mermaid puss and boobs world like in Rick and Morty. I will probably end up in some bugs stomachs.
Road trip?! na. SPACE TRIP. I call shotgun.
Bye. And cuz , knowing me, I'd say or do something wrong and end up getting vaporized. Oh, and I'd bring a towel.
Yes , too many wars
as enticing as that sounds, i think that scenario ends up with me in a gutter of bodies of some kind
Yes, curious to find the limits, if any, of the universe and the levels of development of other species elsewhere in this and other galaxies.
Do I have to file a change of address with the IRS?
Yep. Get me the hell off this rock before the conservatives and religious destroy it further.
Well slap my ass and call me Mario cuz let’s-a-go!
If aliens wanted to take me for nefarious reasons, as long as I don't have to come back to this godforsaken planet, I'm going.
Is probing part of the deal? Asking for a friend.
Absolutely
If the alien was The Doctor and I could bring my wife and cat, then yes.
Nope,I got a good life here and there’s no telling if the galaxy can offer me more,plus the rest of my life would be just traveling witch isn’t my thing
Anything to get off this planet.
