To not quote tha author is a crime.
Shame on you, OP.
False Knees
I’ve always wondered how much alien life is out there that we’ve actually seen (or seen signs of) but not recognized because we’re blind to life that doesn’t seem earth-like.
Have you ever been to an asda?
The only “asda” I know are the letters I type when I’m trying to make sure my keyboard works. (Sometimes “f” sneaks in there too.)
It’s a cheap supermarket in the UK
Thanks, that clarifies the… Aliens?
I think they’re saying poor people are so weird and gross they must be aliens.
Nah, I just know the expression “Walmartians” and I wanted to translate it into a European context.
Hmm, I wonder how they named it? Maybe with a keyboard they weren’t sure was working?
It has a close competitor named Qwerty
It was a cheap supermarket in the UK. According to Which it’s more expensive than 4 or 5 other supermarkets now.
It’s owned by Walmart and is not too dissimilar if that helps give some context. The big superstores much more so, the smaller stores have much less product variety.
Apparently 10% owned by Wal*Mart and 67% owned by TDR Capital.
Oh wow, I was way off with my info! Thanks for letting me know… I know nothing of TDR Capital and yet have a feeling I don’t even want to look into them for the sake of my mental health.
I know plenty of alienkin. Life from other worlds exists, but conservative realists will tell you that otherkin are “trolling” or “insane”.
Oh dear.
No, I’m pretty sure deer are from Earth.
Dunno why you’re being downvoted
I can’t see it, my instance has downvotes disabled. But I figured. Lemmy is a toxic and kinphobic place. A bunch of crabs in consensus reality’s bucket, trying to keep the rest of us from escaping.
If anyone is interested in “what could alien life look like?”, I can highly recommend reading the Children Of Time trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
He manages to really have his alien species feel like truely something non-human.
Reading the novels feels like going on an adventure
I echo this, I was truly astonished by how much empathy and connection I had with alien creatures.
I’ve not got round to reading the third book but this has nudged me to go get my e-reader out.
be warned that it feels different and sometimes confusing, narration-wise. Just keep at it.
Some people don’t like it because of that, but I like it. The new species opens some interesting philosophy
Yep, especially the alien species in the second book. Which was basically The Thing, but much more interesting.
