If there are aliens capable of reaching this planet, they may look at us the same way we do dogs.

But my dog has a very awesome life. He's fed twice a day and the only thing he has to do is cuddle with us. Seems like a pretty sweet life.


If aliens take over the planet, would you be willing to be their pets? I think I might.

 

[Fat4all]

as long as they love me

and pet me

and hug me

and call me George

 

[Xando]

Only if they're space rich

 

[Caayn]

Only if they don't pretend to throw the ball.

 

[HotHamBoy]

 

[jiiikoo]

Yes. If they call me a good boy. I’m a good boy.

 

[lastplayed]

What if the aliens combined humans and animals like in Mars Attacks?

Like that.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

Stealth self sucking brag thread?

Like that.

They already did, with McConnell, like in the picture.

[SDBurton]

Can we have a say over what these aliens look like?

 

[Monocle]

If I get to live in a Culture-like post-scarcity paradise, hell yes.

Yes. If they call me a good boy. I’m a good boy.

Yes you are!

 

[Fat4all]

Can we have a say over what these aliens look like?

according to the 'truth', there's several kinds who all look different

 

[Imperfected]

You mean like an inter-dimensional congress of Rick Sanchezs?

Sure, as long as I get to wear a charcoal gray suit and carry a folder.

 

[halfbeast]

I already am.

 

[Fat4all]

I already am.

cheap imitations and knock offs

only buy official pets





you know which ones are official thanks to the "JP" mark on them!

 

[JustSomeone]

I'd like to think i would be a cool pet like a cat and not a lame one like a dog.

 

[Ushojax]

 

[Epcott]

OP made me think if the later chapters of Gantz...

Eh, nooooooo!

 

[Apt101]

No. Haha. What a GAF-ass thread.

 

[Joyful]

cool fetish op

 

[jesu]

Only if they are asari.

I was thinking something of an ant colony. Maybe once a manned mission is able to leave the solar system the ship would just bang against a glass wall and all observations we made about the outer galaxy were just digital projections created by the terrarium (spacearium?) to creat a more natural environment.

 

[McLovin]

As long as they don't neuter me sure why not? I'll dry hump a hot blue alien chicks leg and they will think it's cute. They will take me out for space walks, maybe they will give me a cool space iPhone to play with. Maybe I'll get pizza shaped human food too 😋

 

[woopWOOP]

I'd probably end up with some POS animal abusing alien family

Then get rescued by alien PETA and thrown into some alien animal shelter

No alien family would bother re-adopting since I'd be too old so eventually they just euthanise me

So fuck that

 

[panama chief]

No. Hell no OP. If I'm stuck on Earth, fuck that noise. Now if we're going back to space...where's the leash?

 

[pitchfork]

er.. no

 

[Ivellios]

Only if they are asari.

Hahahaha, good one

 

[Fat4all]

Only if they are asari.

 

[Sheroking]

Is my other choice death or space rape?

I feel this there is important context being left out of this hypothetical.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Only if they don't neuter me. And it would be nice to get adopted into a family that has at least one other human so I can have a friend.

But none of those human hoarders that can't take care of us and leave us to wallow in our own squalor.

I build squalor around me wherever I go

I never understood the whole "They see us like we do ants/dogs/cats/animals."

Animals do not have societies with trade, science, cultures etc. Animals does not attempt to communicate with the giant beings. Animals don't engage in philosophical discussions with the overlords about to destroy them because "they are only like ants beneath gods" as is the case with many fictional scenes of the matter.

It is honestly a pretty perplexing view. If we learned that ants were trying to communicate with us to build a relationship we would quite immediately try to establish contact and outlaw the harm of them because of their sentience. Of course there would be still assholes trying to kill them because of racism but those aliens who constantly comes to enslave/destroy us might be that in their societies, the redneck racists of aliens.

 

[jiggle]

depends
how cute will they make me

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Am I able to go out and walk the streets when I want to like some pets do or do they lock me inside a house?

The assumption is that they're so advanced that what we've made looks like nothing more than ant hills and that their cultures and sciences are so advanced comparatively that we still seem like animals to them.

Also, I think you're stretching it to assume that humans first reaction to aliens would be to have psychological discussions with them. Most people would probably fear and resent them, and the ones who don't couldn't speak to them without a translator.

 

[Fat4all]

you'll get a cute little sweater

[ChryZ]

Wait, wait, wait ... do we keep our balls?

 

[ffdgh]

Not a chance.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

I'd jack their ship and be the intergalactic bounty hunter I was to born to be. Or crash into the nearest star, whichever's fine with me.

 

[darklin0]

Nah, I would rather be dead.

The idea is that they would be advanced beyond our comprehension. Whatever way they communicate between themselves is so complex and incomprehensible to us we might not even register it as communication.

Most animals have some form of communication between the members of their species but we still curb stomp them because for us it's just funny noises, dances and rubbing. Many species like ants and bees have societies and actually build complex stuff, but we largely dismiss it because it's just "instinct" and not "intelligence". What if there's an alien species so advanced that our "intelligence" can be dismissed in the same measure?

That is basically how the doctor treats most companions so why not.
