This comic makes me want a benevolent alien life form to exterminate all humans and let evolution try again.
....or help us?
That's what they said?
If they've been watching us long enough they know that's a waste of time. About half the population of the US wouldn't believe in climate change if God himself said it was real.
I don't see why you would need an alien life form for that. Humans are doing it already.
Ah yes, the classic sort of aliens who exterminate other civilizations, being benevolent is of course how you'd characterize them.
Isn't there some guy testifying about UFOs in Congress this week? We can only hope aliens see earth as a rare and valuable resource that we're fucking up so maybe they'll take it from us.
A lot of politicians just chase distractions...
There's always some nutjob wanting to testify to congress about aliens, and nutjobs in office eager to get the important shit out of the news cycle.
Sounds accurate
