Explorers will be OUR doom!

[Wullail]

I was sitting in a twitch channel the other day watching somoene head to the core and discussion turned to the subject of...well..poop..

We started pondering exactly what happens to our 'leavings' , the general concensus was that the 'HONK' you hear when scanning a system was actually a 'flush' when the waste products are ejected...

This spawned the theory of how the thargoids will eventually find us in the channel.

Now if you think about it more and more people are heading out into the great black in various directions and (mostly) coming back to 'known' space...but as they approach that area , their 'trails' get closer and closer together distance wise as they home into a station to sell the data.

Relatively speaking 'known' space is really really tiny compared with the rest of the galaxy , so , the trail of waste gets a more and more concentrated the closer you get to home.

All the thargoids have to do is follow the various trails and look for the highest concentration and it will basically be a huge 'HERE WE ARE' arrow for them.

We're doomed by poop!

Poop gradient descent. +rep for you!

Thats why we explore in an Asp. 120 tons of "storage" frozen down, and then sold on as Biowaste. How else do you think we earn credits?

'When the sh*t hits the fan' becomes 'when the sh*t hits the Thargoid'. Amounting to about the same thing.

And we wonder why they hate us. You would hate them if they threw s**t in your face too

This forum is becoming very odd.

The Thargoid 'Dung Beetle' ships are rolling it up for us.

Maybe it's just the most delicious thing they've ever tasted and they want more.

Hey, at least its not the same old recycled waste.. oh wait

 

[Lavo]

Well, why else do you think we 'flush' near a sun? This way we don't leave any leftovers!

 

[Ydiss]

I'd need to consume several tons of chicken tikka madras and several pints of lager to need to flush as often as I scan, mate.

Arrrrggghh! You sir, have got it in one.

All these daft sci-fi invasion movies with aliens abducting humans, subject humans to rectal probes... it all makes perfect sense now.They don't want our bodies, they want our (poo - silly filter).

Prepare to be abducted and fed very well thank you.

As long as they don't feed us with Taco Bell...

Well... If you want to maximize 'output'...

By looking how most politicians behave these days, this support the theory that the Thargoids are already among us...

I installed the VayPOOrize module in my #6 bay.
My conscious is clear on contributing to the Thargoid invasion.
Side effect to dark matter I have no idea. Maybe that is what VayPOOrize ends up as.

Vulcan Space Prune Juice. That'll get things movin' for ya.

 

[duckutus]

I dont think the amount of s**t flushed into space piles up that high... some part is processed by the ships recyclingsystems...

enjoy your coffee and do not flush while in spacedock ;-)

I got a moderator warning for just using a 'rude' acronym the other day. I can only imagine everyone on this thread having it beaten out of their bots by the mod.
