Exactly, they might be from the “booty” system now, but there’s no need to rename the planet. That would just be confusing.

In the US, don’t forget the fee you get charged for missing your appointment time despite the fact it doesn’t work the other way around.

I believe it’s called spooning: https://youtu.be/8wUOUmeulNs

Unless you’re a politician.

Stolen from the internet although I’ve seen a few versions:

Out in space two alien life forms are speaking with each other. The first alien says, “The dominant life forms on the earth planet have developed satellite-based nuclear weapons.” The second alien, who looks exactly like the first, asks, “Are they an emerging intelligence?” The first alien says, “I don’t think so, they have them aimed at themselves.”

Being married, I know it’s a death trap… but f@&$ it. What does premium wife get me?

I read somewhere there are at least 6 possibilities:

1. Dark forest theory - read at least book 1 and 2 of three body problem series or google for spoilers
2. A filter exists, or more plainly something that always causes a civilization to eventually fail.
3. Similar to Star Trek, other civilizations are waiting for us to pass a threshold before contact is made.
4. Carl Sagan: the universe is so large and intelligent life is so sparse, we just haven’t come across them yet.
5. Life on our planet is unique to the entire universe
6. Could also be a mixture of some of these.

Whatever it is, it’s a fascinating problem and I like Carl Sagan’s approach.
