Wouldn't it make more sense to bring them to a scientist, or at least if they as "bring me to your leader" say "you are looking at one, pal"

Yes, and it would be one of the scientists working in the extraterrestrial center of the UN. That's not what it's called, i forgot and I'm too lazy to look it up.

My guess though is that it would probably be the best authority to talk to aliens.

What the fuck do they get paid to do all day? Must be one hell of a jolly

Address dumb alien conspiracy theories on the internet mostly

Scientists aren't usually leaders, and me saying that I'm a leader would be an obvious lie, and I'm not going to outright lie at someone who came here with a spaceship from lightyears away.

[–] Una@europe.pub 2 points 4 weeks ago

Nah, I'm gonna lie and I'm gonna make perfect steak out of their meat 🤤🤤

Which kind of scientist would you send?

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

Maybe an astrobiologist, linguist, and anthropologist?

Edit: probably some physicists as well, someone who can help build up a common mutual understanding from universal physical constants and so on

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, you mean Rick Sanchez, and his grandson Morty!

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Oh right, I meant seperate scientists. I missed that the original word wasn't plural lmao

Realistically you would have a whole team though

[–] Best_Jeanist@discuss.online 2 points 4 weeks ago

Daniel Jackson and Sam Carter will do

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 2 points 4 weeks ago

Xenogoopologist to study the aliens' goop.

[–] tuff_wizard@aussie.zone 2 points 4 weeks ago

Psychology researcher?

Have you seen the state Jordan B. Peterson is in right now? He's absolutely not ready for space aliens. Dude's too invested in four day harmonous time cubes and Women as arch-typical Australian dragons.

So you are saying i should make alien barbecue?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

On Soviet Space Station, Alien BBQ You.

If I was visiting an alien world, there's no way I'm visiting the scientists. What are the chances the first thing they do won't be ripping open my stomach?
