>Watch on tv as the US Navy shoots it out of the sky
we dont have yet a way to disrupt an energy fields/kinetic barriers, we are fricked if someone comes with something like that,
the absurd preparation and tech needed for an interestellar travel would be just ridiculous, we are talking about an engine that can produce more energy than the total amount that humanity has produced to this point, and that is counting the energy of nukes, one on everyfricking ship.
and thats engines, weapons ALWAYS produce more energy in a single burst than engines do.
I'd stay at home, and try to chill out and see how the situation develops.
Realistically speaking, if an alien civilization has a technological level so high that they can travel through the galaxy at their leisure, there is nothing on this planet that could interest them other than stopping to say hi to another sentient species.
>but they could be hostile
If they were hostile then there is nothing we could do to stop them, so what would be the point of running away.
This. Like, people seem to think we can fight them. An alien species that can cross stars is laughably above us that there is absolutely nothing we can do to threaten them. More than likely, if they even notice us, something that is extremely unlikely, they'll probably just ignore us. Or at most, pop over and say hi, and probably be on their way.
There is no material gain to attacking us. It'd be like the modern USMC attacking Sentinel Island. What possible gain is there for them?
Terrible as pic related is, it has the most realistic outcome of an hostile alien invasion. As in, the aliens don't even bother coming down to fight, they just send unmanned drones which beat all earth armies in a matter of minutes.
Any hostile alien would just throw some junk out of their ship at 99% of light speed and frick our shit up. Three Body Problem does it fairly well where nuking moronic civilizations that make any noise is basically automated and absolutely trivial
>Three Body Problem
I liked how that seemed to be a somewhat typical alien invasion story and then upos the ante by saying that the big boys in the galaxy fight by weaponizing universal constants.
And then at the end there is the suggestion that we just live in a bad neighborhood, and the actual big guys were trying to fix all the shit the alien Black folk broke.
I would purchase a firearm and begin shooting at it with the express intention of hastening an interstellar war/massacre to make the human species go extinct.
If aliens hate us and want us dead (as in Independence Day) they would just launch relativistic warheads at Earth and wipe us out from lightyears away.
If aliens hate us but they're also weird and have esoteric goals we can't understand (as in War of the Worlds), even if we won they'd just send nearly unlimited reinforcements. Any space-faring civilization is going to have the manufacturing capacity that outstrips anything we could muster.
If aliens want our resources (virtually every other alien movie), they could just find much more abundant versions of it on asteroids or other easily mineable areas. No military action required.
I'd list more varieties of alien, but the point is unless the aliens specifically want to capture Earth intact for the real-estate, they'd never invade. It's much more efficient to bombard, or send drones, or just ignore us. There's nearly zero reasons a physical invasion would happen, short of wanting humans as slaves or wanting our beaches for themselves.
The aliens in ID4 were the "we want your resources types". The sequel went to explain that their modus operandi was to drill a hole and suck out a planet's core, which makes zero sense because why would do all of that to just obtain two metals (iron and nickel) that are extremely common everywhere in the universe.
I think the scariest idea is that the aliens float around looking for civilizations to obliterate like a sociopathic child seeking out neighborhood cats to torture. It's really the only explanation I have for aliens flying around at lightspeed and not just killing us from afar - that their entire goal is nothing but morbidity.
Leave the city
Watch on tv as the US Navy shoots it out of the sky, destroying the city below. Rewatch Top Gun: Maverick.

Turn 360 and walk away.
Feed it a giant balloon
In reality the moment we confirmed the shields were down, we'd just nuke them all.

weren't they starving to death or something or am I thinking of something else?
I think you are mixing up ID4 with District 9

I felt up a female crew person's breasts in the engine room of this ship years ago.

Unleash the entire nuclear arsenal on New York.
Then come up with some way of killing the aliens.
Go to the top of the nearest building with a sign saying "please take me, planet is fricked lmao"
Throw a party on top of a skyscraper
destroy New York, then move on to LA, SF, Chicago, London, Paris, Israel and become known as the savior of the world.
laugh because you are in a comfy ranch house in Texas with many many weapons
ayyyy lmao
>blows you the h*ck out
frick yeah baby.
Probably start raping. Women in the city are prostitutes anyways so they'd be down for it
Rush to /misc/ for the happening threads
based and peak comfy
Checked
Imagine if the ayys find Cinemaphile and you're the first human to ever call them the N word

Don’t look it in the eye

I think aliens are observing us and will occasionally rattle the cage to get a reaction.
>unzips dick
w-would you rape an alien if you were the first human to make contact?
>take me to your leader
>I am now your leader
>unzipps pants
>ayys now probe because of my first encounter with them thinking it a proper greeting
Yes.
Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for the whole thing to blow over
Fire the largest rocket at it with the most home made explosive as I could manage to load it with
call augustus
nobody mention those morons in SIGNS who come to a planet that is 80% their absolute weakness
They were filming the ayy version of Jackass.
>their equivalent of bam was the one who got beat at the end because they hated his bullshit
so true lmao
>those morons in SIGNS
>he actually thinks those creatures in that movie were aliens
Point and laugh, people.
Yeah it was just Lionel Pritchard and the Wolfington brothers.

be sure i have a golden woofer so my story armor is unassailable
id punch their lights out
laugh my ass off at city dwellers getting destroyed
then i'd drink a bottle of whisky, get my guns and prepare to go down in a blaze of glory
I'd go to the World Trade Center. It has plot armor for another few years.
go chill out with the morons under the ayyllium beam weapon so that I'm not subjected to the presidency of a woman.
If I lived where those guys were, I would GTFO ASAP. If I didn't, I would stay home & watch whatever happens unfold.
I'd just go to work as I pay $3000 rent for a 500 sq ft single bedroom.
