I survived on nothing but Wheat Thins and tap water for a full month. Twinkies have got to be better sustenance than that.

Damn she lived a long life. RIP Rosie.

I feel whoever designed E.T. wasn't being realistic/thinking outside the box enough, if aliens exist then they're not gonna look like god damn primates.

Heres a better alien:

People seem to believe Hostess cakes (namely Twinkies) last much longer than proven reality. People are idiots.

The fact is that the chances of us being alone in the vastness of the universe are almost non-existent. Also, thanks to the laws of probability and chance, due to the sheer vastness of the universe, there is the very real possibility that every alien life form that we can conceive of, like E.T., exists somewhere out there. However, terrifyingly, it also means that the chances of a species like H.R Giger's ALIEN existing in real life is also equally probable. Let us hope that, in our first journeys into outer space, humanity meets a species like E.T. first on a galactic level, rather than coming face to face with something akin to the Thing, Predator or Alien...

Yes sure thats true. But I think you meant our deeper journeys into outer space.

IN the decades we have searched for intelligent life, take a thimble scoop water from the ocean in that thimble. That's about as far as we have been able to look so far. I agree too many shows depict Aliens similar to us. Again look in the ocean or the wild and all sorts of odd creatures in different environments. If Jupiter has any life on it, they are likely floating gas-filled jellyfish looking, creatures. There are planets we know of that rain diamonds and rocks. Planets that are ice but the ice is on fire and not melting. Planets with one side that never sees the sun. So many odd planets and some of those may contain life and few with highly intelligent life but have no way to visit us due to the environment even if they had the ships.

We know you can't go faster than light and speed of light in space as travel would be like riding your bike to cross the country. Slow. Theoretically, a type of "warp drive" you see on Star Trek is possible but it works a little differently. Instead of the ship moving like in Star Trek we again move a bubble of space around the ship. It looks like it's moving at the speed of light but it's space that's moving. Like an airport walkway. You stand still as it moves you to the other side of the walkway. The issue is it would take massive amounts of something called negative energy. How much? Well think of a few solar systems how much they put out positive energy, combine their energy mass and about that much. Unless Dark Energy is real then they only need about how much energy Jupiter puts out. So if that is something attainable enough and small enough and renewable enough for some species out there. They are so far advanced we cannot comprehend. If they can contain and reuse that kind of energy then even something like a Dysons Sphere looks like a plaything.


I no doubt believe in intelligent life out in not just our galaxy but the universe. Our universe alone has trillions maybe more galaxies. Quintillions of stars. Maybe more and that is before we get into the question if our universe is a smaller universe connected to an infinite number of larger universes. We have learned that time is not linear, to our perspective based on our limited existence it seems like it is. I won't dive into now and then slices of space-time. It's cool shit tho. We may have been visited we might not have. We might be off-limits as we are too violent or primitive. There is also the chance all living creatures on Earth were sparked by organisms on a rock from Mars from Olympus Mons (this rock was discovered in the 90s I believe..often debated)

The question is how many species in just our galaxy alone are intelligent? That is where we get the Drake Equation.

The old recipe for Twinkies seemed to have near infinite shelf life. The current ones are greasy and gritty, nothing like the old ones, which were more similar to angel food cake in consistency.

Star Trek: The Next Generation seemed to put some thought into non-humanoid alien species, specifically the Tholians, which couldn't survive in environments optimal for humanoid life, needing containment suits to maintain the high temperatures of their native world. They were hexapods, almost mechanical in appearance, even outside of their suits, and their living spaces had no apparent up or down, with control interfaces all over the place.
