You are offered room and board on an alien starship, but...

[IndyColtsFan]

As long as there isn't any surprise butt probing.

Sure, take all the fun out of it....

 

[Fingolfin269]

But that's a great show...

Calm down man. I just watched an episode 30 minutes ago.

 

[qliveur]

To Serve Man ?

Damn. Beat me to it.

 

[Bateluer]

- You must leave immediately
- You cannot tell anyone
- You may never see Earth again

Do you go?

Yep.
In a heart beat.

I am assuming I'm not going to be used for a breeding experiment, a culinary dish, or some other nefarious end?

 

[zinfamous]

what's the issue with being used in a breeding experiment?

 

[sandorski]

are the aliens hot?

...and will there be snu snu?

 

[NikolaeVarius]

what's the issue with being used in a breeding experiment?

The tentacles man, so. many. Tentacles.


And I'm not sure. It depends. I would LOVE to go, but at the same time, issues of biological compatibility, food, air mixture, and general ability to live under alien conditions makes it a harder choice.

Because a civilization capable of building a starship wouldn't have given any thought to any of the above? Get off the dime and, make the call.

well, if that's the case, then it would be a great trip for teenage japanese boys. I get the idea they can't get turned on without tentacles being in the picture.

 

[alrocky]

He's probably worried about getting stuck on the wrong end of gender mis-identification.

 

[TridenT]

are there any other details? Do I get good food? Entertainment?

 

[Exterous]

what's the issue with being used in a breeding experiment?

That seriously depends on what they plan on trying to breed you with

As much as I enjoy butt probing, announce or otherwise, I need more information to decide

 

[lupi]

is there bud light and triplication?

 

[Squisher]

Do they have wireless?

 

[Farang]

No. If you look at the whole of human history as a scale of "life is a torturous hell" to "the world is a paradise," we are closer to paradise than we've ever been. On top of that we are in the upper tier of the current world, with the vast majority of humans living in poorer conditions than us. By all accounts we are extremely lucky organisms.

So why leave that to live with another species? All evidence suggests species do not treat one another well.

There is a lot more to be lost than to be gained.

The chance to learn about another intelligent species, experience other worlds and, do something no human has done before is not enough? Fine, you stay with your comfortable life while the rest of us explore the stars.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

is there bud light and triplication?

Isn't triplication one worse than fornication?

 

[preslove]

Can I bring a towel?

 

[sandorski]

Isn't triplication one worse than fornication?

3>4?

 

[Rastus]

Given the results of our earthly experiences when two civilizations come in contact with each other, no.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

3>4?

No, 3 < 4, which is what I said. Try counting on your toes if it helps.

 

[sandorski]

No, 3 < 4, which is what I said. Try counting on your toes if it helps.

doh, toes reveal all

 

[Modular]

I take it you said no and are feeling remorse?

 

[her209]

Jesus this feels like an episode of Big Bang Theory. Nerds.

Actually, Star Trek: TNG, specifically this episode.
