just look at the drake equation fam

You used to probe me on your UFO

late night when im in REM sleeeeeeep

I've seen some shit fam.

There's aliens all around me

And so the probing goes

Every night I wait

I leave my window open

Every night I wait

I leave messages for aliens outside

Every night I wait

I make lights near my window

Every night I wait

I open my mind to the cosmos

Every night I wait

I sleep naked, ass up

Every night I wait

And still, I have not been probed

And every night I wait

This is fucked up

So I won the Poetry Jam!!

*bows*

This may be the funniest thing (to me) that I have ever posted

ayy lmao

You can't say "I know they exist," because you don't. How we understand our evolutionary history, chemistry, and the universe as a whole suggests it's very likely that extraterrestrial life has developed elsewhere, but it's unscientific to say that there's no doubt that they're out there.

Like if we found microbes on Mars or something, I wouldn't be shocked at all, but until then, I can't really say I "Believe" aliens exist.

It's shit logic to believe the number of planets suitable for containing life implies that extraterrestrial life exists, when you have not a clue what the process is the needs to happen to create life in the first place.

When a Mummy cell and a Daddy cell love each other very much...

Under the same train of logic we can't concretely say that you or I even exist.

But the data we've received suggests we do, and it is statistically astronomical for the phenomenon of life to be exclusive to this one rock.

We can say as concretely as anything else that we are not alone in the universe.

Criticism of the Drake equation follows mostly from the observation that several terms in the equation are largely or entirely based on conjecture. Star formation rates are well-known, and the incidence of planets has a sound theoretical and observational basis, but the other terms in the equation become very speculative. The uncertainties revolve around our understanding of the evolution of life, intelligence, and civilization, not physics. No statistical estimates are possible for some of the parameters, where only one example is known. The net result is that the equation cannot be used to draw firm conclusions of any kind, and the resulting margin of error is huge, far beyond what some consider acceptable or meaningful.[53]
