There would certainly be a different demeanor. Probably a lot of internal judgment, rather than explicit external judgment like you see here. People generally aren't as bold when they want to say something while looking into someone's eyes. And those who are tend to be alienated because they're perceived as too brash.

Pepsi would get promptly smacked if he pulled the same stuff in real life. Even if sometimes he's correct, being that nitpicking third party to other people's conversations would go over like a lead balloon. People generally don't put up with a person that behaves that way, which is why you rarely see it in real life.

I've had this happen on CP before. I referred the offending poster to websites on when to catch yourself cyber-bullying and the magnitude of making death treats to others online. He proceeded to lose his #### on me. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything else from that particular poster. I'm sure it exists elsewhere on the board. FYI reporting the offending post did nothing and I got radio silence from the mods.

Maybe time travelers coming back are sentenced to watch their ####ty behavior over and over. Omnipotence guilt is the best medicine

It’s bad to tell people to run into traffic but cool and good to tell them you would assault them “in real life.”

lol, this place.

Oh FFS I didn't make a death threat, I told him to go play victim in a place where he'd actually be a victim. That's not a death threat. You two are unreal. The Mutzy brigade.

We’re reading the thread together while we enjoy our ice cream, waiting for Trent and Muta to come beat us up in real life like super tough guys.

Yeah, I think those websites are probably something that can be shared again. Telling someone to 'go be a victim on Deerfoot' and then bizarrely defending it as anything but what that directly means to everyone else, is really a hallmark of insecure narcissism and prepubescent anger management issues. Professional help should be recommended for cases like this.

Now the guy who accused others of mocking mental health services when he was recommended them during a public breakdown is pretending he can diagnose mental health issues from a comment he didn’t like and recommending mental health services to others.

Perfection. No notes.

This coming from a guy who sends pretend 'wellness checks' via DMs. That is rich.

sheesh...anyway...

So what are are explanations here?

extraterrestrial beings
extraterrestrial probes
time travellers
extra-dimensional beings
we exist in a simulation, so anything goes
tricks of perception(reflections, misinterpreted objects, birds, drones, mirages etc)
Secret US tech
Secret other country tech
hoaxes(crop rings)


Did I miss anything?

Actually - an anonymous poll might be fun. My guess is this thread has a lot of silent observers and would be fun to know what they think.

If a mod is reading this thread, could we get an anonymous poll put up?

What is behind the UAP/UFO Phenomenon?

-Advanced secret human technology
-Extraterrestrial life/tech/drones from other planet(s)
-Ancient advanced civilization still on earth/oceans
-Future humans/time travellers
-interdimensional intelligence
-Simulation
-Nothing. all explainable as misinterpretations, hoaxes, weather, etc

I think that covers most of the bases

Can we add simulation to that? Maybe these are holographics or code errors inside our simulated existence!

A poll would be fun on this for sure! Just need to make sure we get all the choices right; interdimensional intelligence for some, for example, may not be mutually exclusive from the future humans/time travellers option or the extraterrestrial life/tech/drones from other planet(s) option.

Yeah, a lot of these theories could have some overlap. But at least listing them separately we can add-up the responses manually and see where people lean

I like it.

Not just a yes/no poll, but a list of possibilities, including nothing.

Will be a good prediction poll to look back on when the awesome truth is revealed.

Von Neumann Probes

Could explore a large chunk of the galaxy in half a million years going 1/10th the speed of light.

What if aliens weren't travelling great distances, but rather just constructing remotely from a great distance. It's a known phenomena in nature that photons in the presence of an electron, can create matter and simple molecules out of empty space. This is way off in sci-fi territory, but what if an intelligent being found a way to build off of that process and actually create more complex structures that could even synthesize life forms.
