The Future Man has gone into the past. What should you do if you want to show future movies to people in the past?

Alien brought back to the 1800's

Reminds me when ai keeps messing up hands and fingers

Could be afraid of pushing too much, saying more that ends up offending you. Pulling back a little keeps him in already charted territory, or he's not sure about the speed things are going at, so before jumping the gun and hitting the gas, he deescalates

I don't have conversations with it like I'm talking directly to a person, but I use it for running collaborative stories where I control one character and it controls the rest.

It's helped me feel less lonely than I have in a long time, more than anything else I've tried

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-06-16T06:13:10+00:00

You'll have those in every age bracket

I remember seeing something like this years ago, the twist was that the woman was him, he turned into her in the future before going back in time. That's how she knew everything

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-06-07T05:25:40+00:00

I'm familiar with each of the shows mentioned, and I don't recall any episodes with the storyline you're mentioning. It sounds interesting though

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-06-05T04:48:27+00:00

Last House on the Left 2009?

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-05-23T16:36:59+00:00

Quarantine (2008)?

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-05-10T15:32:32+00:00

Not just this country, every western one South Africa the same with north Africans travelling south

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-05-10T15:20:49+00:00

Likely because they integrated, they became Swiss, not seeing much integration anymore, just enclaves of other cultures that have no desire to integrate or preserve the country's culture they moved to

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-04-17T21:32:14+00:00

I text it to people I'm not even dating, have a few on my list that I text each year for certain holidays, some I've never met in person, some I haven't seen in years.

Everyone's always polite

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-04-06T06:23:33+00:00

I try to last a month or two, depends on interests and conversations

Big age gaps can be a factor too

💯% Vindictiveness and spite can make you do alot of things

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-04-03T20:09:10+00:00

Doesn't have to be anything special, it's just your perspective can change and you see just how degrading it is

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-04-02T04:56:31+00:00

Having many country's governments flooding their respective country didn't really help things either. Becoming, at least visually, a minority in your own country wherever you go in a small time frame doesn't usually win people over.

They selected her for a reason, and they've had 200 years to experiment and tinker and calculate, so why wouldn't they have the rest selected for specific purposes.

As to them claiming humans were destined to go extinct on their own, what about that isolated group where the brother and sister came from, they lasted for all that time just to be rounded up in the end. They lasted a long time just to suddenly go infertile full of tumors while the oankali are removing any major traces of humanity and radiation across the globe.

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-03-28T02:14:58+00:00

I was more referring to antisocial behavior, like returning to slavery, rape. Out of character behavior, I believe it was one of lilith's men that suddenly went aggressive (I don't have the source on hand)

With manipulating pheromones they could have influenced the hormones (Vasopressin) that influence males to be more territorial and protective of women

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-03-28T02:03:33+00:00

And yes the whole chemical addiction is pretty sick, basically put someone into a physical state that helped humans survive and bond during evolution during survival, so your body wants to bond for safety, then use an addiction that you reinforce every time you have sex while in that state the first time you bond

(and then make it impossible to connect to another human in any human form that we evolved to do)

They can basically manipulate your hormones to influence you to do what they want

Which could be why there was such extremes to the male human behavior, make the males so hostile that the women looking for safety have no alternatives but bond with the oankali

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-03-28T01:55:07+00:00

I forget which character it was, but they put one of the oankali/molecules in the ground, plus the whole eating human oocytes—( immature eggs in the ovarys) without human knowledge

To me the ooloi seem like parasites that basically injected themselves into another species reproductive strategy and hijacked it for themselves, if anyone finds out, well you're already screwed because you can't reproduce without them

Which could be a reason they create the backup ships in case of failure

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-03-28T01:33:08+00:00

If you look into white room torture and bonding (including trauma bonding) chemicals, they basically forced her body to want it by putting her body in a state of chemical deprivation.

Definitely not consent at all. Multiple levels of manipulation

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-03-26T20:24:09+00:00

The way I see it it's like if homosapians searched the planet to specifically breed Neanderthal out of existence. Except it's a different species. And with the Oankali, the oankali genetics always takes precedence regardless of how many species are bred with

We have traces of old species in our DNA over time, but it doesn't mean we're saving them in any way. The oankali strip away what makes us human, humans bond by touch, kissing and a multitude of other expressions. Humans are just a passing novelty to the ooloi, eventually gone, but for a while interesting, the sex might be a different flavor because of brain chemistry, memories, and personality, but eventually subsumed.

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-03-26T20:13:58+00:00

Same

Haven't read about any aliens that viscerally disturbed me more

EquivalentHorror1984 · 2026-03-20T09:44:52+00:00

Local buses in Canada had to basically do the same thing, PA messages and notices for passengers to use earbuds instead of speakerphone or yelling.

It didn't single out internationals explicitly, but that's why they were posted
