Alien asks you to prove humanity is worth saving

[Saelune]

Id ask to go with them and leave the remains of Earth behind.

 

[Reaper195]

"Prove humanity is worthy!"

"...take me with you. Then burn the world."

 

[Mikey Moughtin]

im not a pessimist, im "detail oriented" being, i don't see someone as lucky for surviving cancer, (big picture) i see them as super unlucky for getting it in the first place. jus sayin

 

[Tsun Tzu]

"Knew this was one way ticket, but you know I had to come. Love you wife."

 

[BrotherSurplice]

I'd ask, "Who the fuck are you to judge?"

This. Why the hell should a bunch of ETs have the power of life and death over us?

 

[Glamorgan]

They want proof humanity is worth saving?

I'd just show them Friendship is Magic

 

[Triangulon]

I'd explain how we have given pleasure to the universe by having such a beautiful ass.

 

[CarlMin]

We give them bacon... Because it's that delicious.

And won't the aliens get even more pissed off when they see our meat industry?

No, because on planet Z#thorx, meat = greatness. They also praise animal abuse.

Nah

Aliens would probably not distinguish humanity but judge all sentient beings for their behavior, so technically they would see us as cannibals.

I don't think you're understanding me, they have pets, just like we do, only they're used for brutal entertainment.

Anybody can think they're smarter than somebody else.

It was my understanding that these aliens had a concept of moral, and that they are some kind of superior species, so I don't think that's very likely.

But it was not clarified that they were. I would question any claim that a species can be "morally" superior species-wide.

Not morally superior, only with a concept of moral. Superior in terms of intelligence or technology, but not morally superior.

then trying to prove to the Aliens would be no different than proving to Humans.

Yes because our fate is in their hands, and since they are not humans they will judge us objectively, given what we are and presumably how we treat the least among us. I think that was the OP's point.

 

[Torchlyte]

I'd ask the aliens to prove that they're worth saving. I bet they can't come up with much since they're planning a genocide.

"judge us objectively" I assume you mean by some kind of objective morality?

If the ball is truly in their court, then I suppose one would have to go researching their objective morality system and appeal to it, rather than try to come up with any moral argument that we're used to.

 

[joiny]

Jigglephysics.

 

[WaReloaded]

Watch the Day The Earth Stood Still.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Xenomorphs are my favourite aliens.
If they're Xenomorphs I'll probably say something along the lines of: UUUAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!

 

[SideSmash]

I'd ask "well, what about YOU guys? What if WE invaded YOU? Why wouldn't we wipe you guys out, huh?" And then I'd get vaporized.

Or I'd run away fast enough.

 

[Pacerman]

I'd tell em "If you have to ask, you clearly know nothing about us!"

 

[Tiger Sora]

I'd ask, "Who the fuck are you to judge?"

This right here. Anyone to ask whether or not your race should survive should not be wielding such power in that manner.

 

[crop52]

We're advancing in all aspects of life now more than ever, I don't see why the aliens would want to kill us when we're only getting better.

Seriously guys, cheer the fuck up.

 

[Hazard09]

I would just point at myself. Unless they were female aliens they'd probably leave immediately.

(Don't worry, it's not porn.)

Show the alien this picture:

The alien would explode by seeing the embodiment of manliness
