Explorers will be OUR doom!

I feel a bit mean picking holes in an amusing theory such as this but...

Even 1000 years in the future, ship will likely operate as a semi-closed loop system. Water is heavy and expensive to carry so will likely be extracted and recycled. Any solid wastes are likely to be dropped into the mini-sun hydrogen fuelled reactors that power our ships. There wouldn't be much in the way of ash but if there were any, it'd be collected or more likely just ejected in the exhaust of our engines. By the time it's been through all that I doubt you have much to worry about.

By far the greater concern should be: what happens to all those cannon and rail-gun rounds that miss their targets?

I modified my conventional guns to high compressed poop ammunition, works fine and solves my storage problem.

But keep your ships cat away from the Poopcompressor intake!
 
I wouldn't worry about leaving a trail for them.
I have a feeling they know exactly where we are.

And they're watching ...
And they're waiting ...
While devising their plans against us.

Thatgoids are Martians?

Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
 
Meh, if you spent more time mapping human space than long distance tourism you'd know that each ship comes equipped with an outstanding Tiolce Waste 2 Paste unit

What happens to the waste? Your eating it buddy!

Superb tactic. As no ships have windscreen washer wiper systems they will be blinded

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!

Ah ha! I'm glad you enjoyed that discussion! :D

FLUUUUSSSSHSHH!
