A plaque, with (naked) humans on it (because aliens might not wear/understand wearing clothing as a matter of habit), directions as to how to get here via a diagram that Sagan et al figured anyone with visual abilities should be able to decipher, and a golden record with Earth sounds and human greetings in dozens of languages. Can't remember what was on which, but yeah, I think they were all armed with info on Earth. This was all huge and no secret back when the things launched, actually. Hell, I think Sagan mentions it in the original Cosmos.
There was also a message sent out 30 or more years ago by Arecibo at some distant star that basically said "hi", but, as it didn't repeat, it'd probably just wind up being another species' Wow! signal.
This isn't the first time we've broadcasted our position. Not to mention anyone nearby might have been able to pick up radio and television signals well enough to figure out that there's information in those waves.
I am still struck at how pathologically naïve the people who thought it was a good idea were.
Doing that assumes the odds are for near-zero chance an advanced civilization capable of long-distance space travel would come to conquer or exterminate us. Or "benevolently" opress us forever.
That's "I'm going to hike in the Morrocan Atlas because everyone is nice and peaceful" level of stupidly naïve.
( That ended-up with two young Scandinavian women raped then beheaded for Allah's glory. )
Yes, well, it's pretty much like the first season of ST:Enterprise, isn't it?
First episode:
Humans: "Yay! We're going out to space to make lots and lots of friends!"
Vulcans: "Not everyone is like us"
Humans: "Ah, it's fine! Let's go!"
Later:
"Why does everyone shoot at us?"
Though actually, what really gets me is how humans expect to be treated AS EQUALS by a technologically superior species. That's about the most laughably hypocritical thing about it.
When they talk about "First Contact", they always speak of it as being like INTRA-species contact - Europeans with New Worlders, for instance. But it's more like Europeans meeting North American grizzly bears - an INTER-species encounter. And we're the lower-tech beast.
And THAT is why I think Independence Day is the most hypocritically stupid, self-blind piece of garbage ever made. (especially that puke-inducing speech). Humans themselves would find every reason to declare a species in their way "not people, just 'animals'" if there was something THEY wanted on another planet. Unless they happened to be pretty enough to be legally fuckable. All you need to do is examine Chomsky's amazing moving goalposts wrt ASL and other language-using non-human apes. No matter what the apes accomplished, it would never be good enough for him, because he doesn't WANT them to have language - it might upstage his precious turd-whirlder commies, boohoo.
I hope they sent up pictures of normal people like they did last time. Knowing government agencies I worry they used pictures of partially transitioned troons.

Concerning Asari, no you don't die if you fuck them. Unless they're an Ardat-Yakshi, which is an Asari with a very rare condition where sex with them is lethal. As such, they tend to be sequestered away from society and forced to live a celibate life, and those that refuse are hunted down and killed.
The cat bitches have a mouth and tits, so Im fine either way. There’s only one Asari sub-species that kills you if you bang her, so I figure I got pretty good odds. And you’re right, I was sleeping on Star Trek species, there’s no excuse.
had to look up Asari don't you die if you fuck them?
Generally speaking, no. They're psionics and they mind meld with their partners, but certain Asari (called Ardat-Yakshi) mind meld too hard and cause fatal brain damage.
The idea of intelligent life out there being friendly is stupid. One if they come find us they are more advanced. 2 they may instantly see us as a threat or competition for resources.
option 4: they may be coming here and tell us to take them to our leader, naturally, its because they want to learn from (our leader) jesters immense intellect.
I mean what is the point of the space program in the first place if not to score with sexy green intergalactic bitches? NASA should be putting 100% of their effort into this, fuck landing go-karts on Mars.
I thought they did this with Voyager 2
And Pioneer.

It's notable that they used images of both men and women, since those are the two inescapable forms of humans. Very transphobic.

I think the Wow signal was legit but like you said just one signal.
But a good movie in my eyes

"we've recieved a communication from earth. it appears like they are a race of apes who believes they can choose their gender"
globglorp: LOOOOOOOOOL. they are Evolved apes, or still apes astrolopithicus?
Leader: Evolution progress is unclear.
"Even worse. They're made out of meat."
probably not sending our best...
Stacy Abrams and Richard Levine
If aliens were real, they would probably take this as a declaration of war.
Which humans?
his moms a tranny you gay niggards
All right! I’ll take an Asari and a couple of Twieleks, please. Maybe one of those giant cat bitches from Avatar.

Just don't send the Wachowski brothers before and after "the change".
If there were aliens capable of ftl travel they'd already know what humans look like
Yeah earthlings, send us your pics, preferably naked, we love it.

$100 bucks says that its some pictures of 'diverse' fatties who work at nasa, with rainbow hair and 9/10 being natural men.
I propose this man and this woman. Aliens will know to stay away lest they become fast food.
will we get hot alien babes or cosmic horrors

Only if they make the dong look bigger, I don’t want those reptiloids thinking we’re all hung like grains of rice.
Do you think they know about shrinkage?
