They’re a bit like face huggers, aren’t they?
Face… huggers?
Oh, you know. Like Alien. The horror movie Alien.
There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Maybe they're already here and haven't made contact for this very reason.
Just tell them "killing is how we humans deal with fear, and new things and ideas cause humans a lot of fear. Act accordingly".
No we won't. They'll be dead.
Jon Stewart already covered this topic in is America (The Audiobook) book.
Listed many movies we killed them in while talking to an alien and summed it up by saying we killed you guy a lot.
Our new overlords will understand, as they eradicate us like pests.
Would it be more or less awkward if the aliens also had movies where they killed beings that looked just like humans?
Look, guys. The aliens in those movies were very mean.
