    Only vehicle I clean and wash with some regularity is an Avalon. The rest get abused .

    Let's drive to Colorado on meetup roadtrips to dump trash wearing custom t-shirts.

    https://www.uberprints.com/custom-t-...basic-t-shirts




    Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
    Stone Temple Pilots - Wicked Garden
    Garbage - No Gods No Masters
    Cradle of Filth - Babalon A.D.

    And any additional soundtracks for videos of it.

    Aliens are interested in smelling filthy primitives.









    A Type III Kardashev civilization advanced enough to visit Earth, mastering energy on a galactic scale, would view humanity - a Type 0 species reliant on fossil fuels and fractured by geopolitical strife - as astonishingly primitive. Our rudimentary technology (chemical rockets, radio communication), inability to sustainably harness planetary resources, and struggles with climate change or AI ethics would resemble the infancy of a species with no scientific advancement. They might analogize us to early archaic hominins, marveling at our creativity yet puzzled by our self-destructive tendencies, such as inequality and environmental neglect. If they retained interest, it could resemble anthropological curiosity toward a fragile, pre-unified society, or they might dismiss Earth as irrelevant to their cosmic-scale endeavors. The chasm between our planetary limitations and their galaxy-spanning post-scarcity existence - free of mortality, scarcity, and discord - would underscore our profound primitivity, though they might cautiously monitor our potential to evolve or self-destruct.

    Another soundtrack for the dumping trash at UFO Watchtower's garbagegarden on roadtrip drive to Colorado meetup videos.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_fighter

    "I thought I knew all it took to bother you. Every word I said was true, that you'll see."



    Who knows? Could lead to First Contact with aliens joining a trash dumping meetup. Though alien garbage would be priceless artifacts, needs to be catalogued.

    The first garbagegarden predating UFO Watchtower and the crust of space junk around the Earth by 9500 years is Khani Masi Y82, at ancient Mesopotamia commonly referred to as the cradle of civilization and the cradle of filth.




    Filth is humanity's eternal legacy.

    Heads: It is just satire.

    Tails: It comes to pass.

    Zuck would thoroughly enjoy that tale.

    Aliens, man. A galaxy spanning empire wouldn't need to worry about exploiting habitable planets. They'd have plenty of dead or less habitable ones to exploit.

    If they need metals they have nearly unlimited asteroids to mine. We have nothing to offer them that they don't have an overabundance of, aside from genetic material they can use for experiments but most likely they create synthetic life and it's irrelevant. The UFOs themselves would be piloted by AI and could be projecting holograms of entities that we can feel, and it doesn't need anything material.

    Also, in Star Wars films the Galactic Empire corresponds to a Type III Kardashev civilization, if they take over living planets it is among themselves for logistical reasons not for resources. And most can identify with the human characters that have a stake in such affairs, however we correspond to the Type 0 Ewoks of Endor and are relatively insignificant to rest of the galaxy's inhabitants.

    We've discovered all manner of exoplanets and there is no Roman God of Cock(Priapus) or Roman God of Shit(Sterculius) yet.

    I've been wondering this for a while now. what constitutes a type 1 or type 2 civilization?

    Type 1 is Flash Gordon, Type 2 is Star Trek Federation of Planets. Type 1 has fully harnessed the power of its home planet, Type 2 has harnessed more than one star system. Type 3 is galactic and has harnessed a galaxy.

    Also, we recently found tunnels at the edge of our star system that lead to the nearest star system, Proxima Centauri. There is a habitable super Earth there called Proxima Centauri b, and if it has life that system is older and life would have had a head start on our planet by several millions of years. We received a radio signal from there in 2019 but it's inconclusive if it's a technosignature. What I can deduce is it is inhabited by a civilization they are much more advanced than us of they haven't self-destructed. It's feasible for them to have travelled here using solar sails or von Neumann probes, the latter would be nearly impossible to detect. Unless they are us and travelled here to colonize by redirecting the asteroid to kill off the dinosaurs to make it safe then hybridized their animals with ours and with apes to adapt to Earth, could have happened. In any case, that's just speculative but it's a thought.

    that's interesting. if the civilization is older then there is a possibility they came here that would also fit with the speculation that life on earth was an experiment. wouldn't the use of solar sails be relatively slow(faster than a solid fuel shuttle)and take decades to a near century to travel that distance?

    Rudimentary solar sails can reach Proxima Centauri within 10000 years(laser-powered solar sails in 42 years), the thing is that their payload can be solar powered robots that are dormant until they arrive. Additional payload can be genetic material to seed a planet with life from one planet to another. As is the case, replicating nanomachines like von Neumann probes mimic cells and DNA designed to evolve, they'd be highly complex machines by the time they arrive here. UFOs?

    using machines does make more sense and using probes that look like saucers or other UFOs makes sense if they've been here long enough to studies humans. there are historical religious texts depicting UFOs for centuries across many different religions.
