Alien asks you to prove humanity is worth saving

show them games, consoles, computers, energy drinks, and junk food. then tell them to look at all the marvelous advances we have made in the pursuit of gaming then i will invite them to play some cod or maybe some wow or something... i think i'll avoid co-op halo..... to much alien killing :s

 

[kickassfrog]

I'd say the reason is right behind you.
And then rugby tackle it when it turned away.

Alternatively, show it some episodes of Dr Who and dare it to destroy humanity.

 

[Kurokami]

Send them a care package including a copy of the New Testamet and the Koran, two live baby rabbits, two teenagers in love, a green chicken egg weighing 2 grams, a picture of the Eiffel tower, and a bit of asorted bric-a-brac. Either they get it or they don't.

Didn't get it myself, but sending them the Quran and the New Testament to have them fighting amongst themselves sounds like a great idea.

I would point out that there society is pretty flawed as well, meaning that if they find humanity lowly enough to destroy/allowed to be destroyed then they would theoretically also feel that they themselves are worthy of being destroyed/allowed to be destroyed as well. Then from there they either spare us or destroy themselves with us, which would be fine for me because if someone is going to kill me, I'm gonna take them with me.

 

[thirion1850]

It isn't. But who the fuck are they to judge if we are? If you wanna conquer us that badly, go ahead and see if you can.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

I'd say knock yourself out little feller.

But for the sake of it I would say: try a cuppa and a bacon sarny from our local cafe.

Show the alien this picture:

The alien would explode by seeing the embodiment of manliness

I'm sorry but I have to argue this. Manly! WHAT!

Firstly, being topless isn't manly. Second, those glasses, long pointy and pink. Nah :/

Men like Charlie Chapman will forever exist as long as humanity does

[MuroKhan]

To be honest... I'd show them Nash's video of "What the F*** is Wrong With You", then I'd ask them to make it quick.

I'd say we are a species with great potential and just need a step in the right direction to be productive to galactic society. Also some of our females are into some really kinky stuff. Also I imagine the aliens will be less like the combine and more like vulcans . On the other hand they may have a home world that is now uninhabitable and combination our large numbers and their large numbers create insane overpopulation in which they will commit xenocide so their own race lives on and use the planet for themselves or vice-verse based on who has the biggest stick.

 

[espressojet]

... It's not

 

[_Russell_]

Who says I'd want to save humanity? Most people are fucking worthless!

This, I just don't think that humanity is worth saving. However...

"We poison our air and water to weed out the weak! We set off fission bombs in our only biosphere! We nailed our God to a stick! Don't f##k with the human race!"

 

[Wondermint13]

Whip out a picture of a cute kitty ofcourse.. Always good to carry one around y'know.
Its a must have accesory for short tempered bastards like me..

Spoiler

 

[Shadowkire]

I would first need to ask the alien if humanity is worth destroying.

I would then base my reasons for salvation around that answer.

 

[Ch@Z]

So Obvious. KFC

That would be too easy.

Anyway this is what I would say
"For every Fred Phelps, there are five Albert Schweitzer's. For every artist who sells out making shit music, there are ten struggling artists trying to write songs about the fine things in life. So fuck off Alien bustards!"

 

[zarguhl]

Sit them down in front of the complete Game of Thrones TV series, with a supply of beef jerky next to them.

 

[John the Gamer]

If they fight us and annihilate us, we don't deserve to live.

If there are survivors, they deserve to live according to the laws of natural selection or something.

Other than that, we suck. We can't even prove our supremacy over the species of earth; I mean, we've been around for a few hundred thousand years and we're still not the only species left. Pathetic.

Death to the... birds? Yeah. Fuck those things. Pooping on our cars and all.

Spoiler: Found an incensitive picture

 

[Byere]

I couldn't... Anything I said would be a lie as I personally don't feel humanity, in its current state, is worth saving.

Stop being so gorram selfish. You're a part of humanity, surely you consider yourself 'worth saving'? If the answer is yes, then you by default consider the rest worth saving. No two ways about it.

And if I don't concider myself worth saving? What exactly has my life to offer? I sit around in my free time, I have no career (though I work in a grocery store), I have no other-half. I've done nothing in my life that will ever be concidered as "great", let alone anything worth recording in an alien history book.
That's just my life though. While it's true that there are a lot of people in our history who are seen as brilliant or the like, what exactly makes them so great to an alien civilization?
