The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

We should broadcast it into space in the event that an alien lifeform that perceives time much slower than we do can make sense of it.

Or an alien species on a similar timescale might pick it up and spend centuries debating the meaning. The changes would be big events. I'd love to be able to give others that kind of mystery.

Send a probe to proxima ceturai with some kind of tech to make the star itself pulse the signal so we can really broadcast it.
