These people are making a voyage to Earth, but they're not the ones dying.
Dude.
Yeah, it sucks.
The thing is though, we're acting like we are so fragile.
Like an alien just coming down immediately just gives us radiation poisoning.
But we don't know what everyday thing here on Earth would kill one of those guys immediately.
Imagine we were just like, went to go shake his hand, tripped up and doused him in Gatorade and he burst into flames.
And we're like, oh shit, Gatorade kills them?
Damn, we just don't know how they react to our stuff.
I love to think about that sometimes, how things could have been, just such a change in circumstances would have changed us as humans fundamentally.
If, let's say, the environment was different, the vegetation was different, we could be in a world now where we're all the humans that we are, but we just have trunks.
Big like elephant trunks on our face.
And I just love to think about how things would probably still be similar enough to the point where there would be like swimsuit models and it'd be like, look at the trunk on that one, you know?
That would be normal and hot, or people would be like, oh, did you see the person got trunk surgery?
Their trunk is so long now, and we find that hot for some reason.
The only reason we think other humans are hot is because of evolutionary reasons that we have societally created an ideal body type.
But if we had trunks the whole time, you'd be Googling trunk exposed.
Which is... Or if we had tails or something.
It's not... We're in the weird one.
Yeah.
