Real talk. Would aliens even want our natural resources? Like they could travel the cosmos. Our planet is made up of elements that are already available to them before they get here.
Like our planet doesn’t have anything special when it comes to resources.
Drain our oceans and fuck up our ecosystems and weather balance.
The ocean is earths heatsink. Imagen extreme temperature changes across the planet. All life as we know it could end.
For fun I asked AI…
what are the consequenses of aliens stealing half of our ocean water?
Oh, what a fascinating (and somewhat alarming) scenario! Let’s imagine it, shall we?
Ecological Impact:
Marine Life: If half of our ocean water vanished, marine ecosystems would be devastated. Many species of fish, coral, and other marine life would struggle to survive in the drastically altered environment. The reduction in available water would likely cause mass extinctions.
Weather Patterns: The oceans play a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate. With significantly less water, we would see dramatic changes in weather patterns. Areas that depend on the ocean for moisture might experience severe droughts, while others could face unpredictable storms.
Human Impact:
Food Supply: Many communities around the world rely on the ocean for their primary food source. The loss of half the ocean would lead to a sharp decline in fish and other seafood, causing food shortages and affecting the global food supply chain.
Economic Impact: Industries such as fishing, tourism, and shipping would face catastrophic losses. Coastal communities that depend on these industries would suffer economically.
Environmental Impact:
Sea Level: If aliens took half of the ocean water away, sea levels would drop drastically. While this might seem like a good thing for areas currently threatened by rising sea levels, it would expose vast areas of the seabed, creating new environmental challenges.
Temperature Regulation: Oceans act as a giant heat sink, absorbing and distributing heat around the planet. Without this balance, we could see more extreme temperature fluctuations and accelerated climate change.
Global Panic:
Geopolitical Tensions: Countries might blame one another for not preventing the alien intervention, leading to international conflicts.
Technological and Scientific Response: There would be a global race to develop technologies to either recover the lost water or adapt to the new reality.
In summary, if aliens stole half of our ocean water, the consequences would be catastrophic, impacting every aspect of life on Earth. Now, let’s hope this remains in the realm of science fiction! 😊 What sparked your curiosity about this scenario?
Not all planets are the same, even within our solar system. Although it’s hard to think a space travelling species would come all the way to Earth for them. On the other hand Earth could provide a comfortable home base from where they could mine minerals, metals and harvest hydrocarbons. It’s easier to mine on Earth than on an asteroid.
If you look at where we are on the milky way, we are pretty far from all the other clusters. Like they gotta REALLY want something here they can’t find elsewhere. Maybe life is what they want and maybe we are the natural resource that other planets don’t have.
Judging by how things have been going, it would probably be something stupid like fossil “fuels” having unique valuable properties as a high tech material, but then the aliens arrive and say “you fucking lit it all on fire?!?!?”

What if they need water?

The only thing I can think that would be unique is the life on this planet and the way it’s adapted and formed. We’d likely just be studied.
That is until they find out about the seven dragonballs.
So basically we are a natural resource.
More like a nature preserve. They’d probably be ecstatic about national parks like Yellowstone and Sarangeti

I guess fossil fuel would be unique to our planet.
Exactly. Humans are so goddamn ego-centric that we think everything is about us.
The aliens not only look like us, they operate spacecraft in the same way that we operate vehicles!
The aliens will come here to take our resources just like we do in the Middle East!
The aliens abducted me and probed my butthole just like Uncle Cletus used to!
etc. etc.
Can’t find your uncle.
It has resource extracting infrastructure already! Plus free labor! (A rare resource in the cosmos)
Keep in mind that they have near limitless energy if they are able to travel here.
It’s like asking ants to help my excavator dig a hole.
They could experience time differently than us though. Also, Limitless energy doesn’t mean that they conjur up as much extra energy as they need.
They might not care about waiting a or ten thousand years while we do it for them.
It’s got delicious CEO’s
