Aliens

This fun Tumblr story imagines a scenario involving an alien invasion, that ultimately suffers many struggles by not anticipating the power of the earth's wildlife. Kind of fun when you allow your mind to wander down potential situations involving bizarre alien species, squaring off against hordes of bears or swarms of cicadas or armies of mosquitoes.

We're supposed to believe that every weird occurrence has a totally logical explanation. However, sometimes we find ourselves in insane coincidences, rare and unlikely moments, or have some strange, unexplainable life moment that just freaks us out so much that it's impossible to find a satisfactory explanation. Sometimes things just happen and we have to deal with that.

So basically, it's stories like the gem that we have with this one from Tumblr that prove that earth might seem easily conquerable, but there's an unanticipated punch waiting to be unleashed underneath the surface. Who knows? Maybe we already have alien homies hanging out in the ocean or something. There is apparently something like 90% of that big ol blue that has yet to be explored. Could be a whole party happening down there. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about some of the most supernatural experiences that people have ever had. At the very least, it's threads like this that can invite folks to consider there's a whole lot more going on in this universe than we will ever fully understand. 

We're intellectually obligated to believe things with some amount of evidence, but damn if hunches aren't compelling. Everyone has their personal conspiracy theories and stupid beliefs that they will believe to their dying day, no matter how little actual proof they have.

One of the biggest problems with archaeology is having to make enormous guesses about what things must have looked like with no meat on them. Sure, Jurassic Park's visual effects were cool but there's constant reinterpretations of what dinosaurs actually looked like, and mistakes like having bones backwards and not realizing it for decades. Tumblr has a vivid imagination of how aliens would interact with earth's wildlife, and these memes do a fun job of combining our own archaeological difficulties with the sci-fi-ness of an alien who has no clue what they're looking at.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the terrifying things to consider when thinking about aliens. Let's just say that you shouldn't dive on into this rabbit hole, unless you're ready to explore some dark recesses of the mind. Aliens can be a scary idea, and one that we just as much conveniently forget about as we go about our daily existence. 

Tumblr hits it out of the park, yet again. 

An interesting Tumblr thread imagines what could happen with an alien invasion vastly underestimating the power of earth's wildlife, in the face of an attack. How about that bacteria, though. 

It's compelling and somewhat flattering to think of Earth as the most dangerous place in the galaxy, with humans being the only ones crazy enough to tame it. This thought brings fun ideas such as the idea of humans as super resilient space orcs, or the idea that aliens trying to invade Earth could be stopped by local wildlife. It's informative, fun, and somewhat self indulgent.

After the surreal debacle that was the "Storm Area 51" Facebook event that actually ended up inspiring some Kyles to get out there with their Monster energy drinks in tow, the Area 51 memes have been flowing. It's still ridiculous to think about people showing up for the event, and going so far as to mix it up with military officials so that they could try and "break into Area 51." Twitter users are cracking all kinds of funny jokes about the crazy shit one could find in the notoriously eerie Area 51. 

With the "Storm Area 51" Facebook event due for tomorrow, we thought it'd be relevant to bring up some of those fiery Area 51 memes to honor the ridiculous occasion. Hard to say whether any Monster-guzzling Kyles will actually show up to this mess.
