my good answer is the wikipedia page for human
by evil answer is the wikipedia page for the dark forest hypothesis
More evil answer: The page on Junko Furuta. Them aliens packing up and leaving after reading that fucked up shit.
We've kinda done this already:
The Golden Record from the Voyager missions.
My personal pick, however, is the SCP database.
Backdoor Sluts Vol. 7
"Mlorp, how do these beings even manage to procreate? This one is using the incorrect orifice, and this one removed his genital proboscis moments before copulation was complete!"
"Let's leave them alone, Floop. They will extinct themselves shortly."
I send Independence Day and to tell them it is a documentary. Now they know not to fuck with us.
That one fucked up hentai comic... I wanna give them mental distress as a leg up in the war between them and us.
Yes, that one. I know there are others, but you know exactly which is the one I'm referring to.
Well I don't. Do you mean Metamorphosis or The Enigma Of Amigara Fault or another one I didn't think of or know?
(recommendations welcome)
A badly trained LLM.
Let them ask whatever they want of it without any way of verifying if what it says is correct.
I wanna send them a copy of FF8!
If you're familiar with it, you'll get what kind of impression it might give.
“You mean to tell me this species’ moon is just full of monsters, and it ejaculates them onto the planet in regular intervals? And they don’t really do anything about it?”
I think one of those nice Attenborough documentaries. Wasn't there one that showcased the Earth? Seems like a nice gesture to put that forward.
Smarter people have already figured this out. I'd send them a copy of the golden record we put on Voyager. It contains the kinds of things that could convey "this is where we are, this is what we look like, we've figured out about this much of this universe so far, and we make stuff that isn't utilitarian (art)"
