Humans are just exceptionally weak to cute. If aliens ever show up and try to conquer us, we're going to be so screwed if they happen to be adorable.

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

Speak for yourself, I hope the furry aliens make me their pet.

[-] spechter@lemmy.ml 27 points 2 months ago

Well, I guess you're getting screwed anyways

[-] sleen@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

Maybe he likes getting screwed.

I would love the life of a house pet as long as I can play video games instead of sleeping all the time.

We just collectively need to convince our new overlords that it’s enrichment and just let me keep it I already have it, and I’ll be totally friendly and compliant whenever you want, I can pause, it’s cool.

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I mean I can multitask licking their tentacles while I game.

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Would it change your mind if the aliens are responsible owners and neuter their pets?

Got my tubes tied when I was 27 (no kids no interest).

So nope, not in the slightest.

[-] Walk_blesseD 1 points 2 months ago

We're on lemmy, none of us are having kids anyway.

What's great is when they show up and become furry because they decide that furries have devised the best possible social system in the cosmos

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago

Even if they were horrors beyond our comprehension, a whole lot of people would be still be very sexually aggressive towards them.

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 18 points 2 months ago

Honestly that may be what saves us. They try to manipulate us by being cute, we weird them out by being horny.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

It would be so funny if they left bc of kink shaming.

"KINK SHAMING IS MY KINK"

ACK ACK ACK ACK splat

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

War of the Worlds got absolutely the wrong reason for the aliens to leave.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

There's a Philip K Dick short story about this, "The war with the Fnools"

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

If aliens turn up and they're like "Give me snacks. And a fluffy bed." I think we'd be like "...aight."

Too Cute crisis is about aliens coming to destroy earth but learn there are cats.
