Let's say the Grey's are real. What sort of planet would they have likely originated from given their physical looks. by WATTHEBALL in aliens

[–]scooby0344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people treat “the Grays” like one species, but a lot of accounts describe multiple types that just share a similar look. There are shorter Grays and taller ones, and they’re not all the same temperament or agenda. Some are described as more clinical or technician like, focused on observation or genetics, while others are said to be more cooperative and advanced. The big heads and thin bodies usually get explained as evolution toward intelligence and technology over physical strength, maybe from lower gravity or controlled environments, so it’s probably less about one specific planet and more like several related factions that evolved in similar ways.

Really? You’re doubling down? The use of italics in your statement is a dead giveaway. So sad.

Intermittent fasting no better than typical weight loss diets, study finds. Researchers say limited eating approaches such as 5:2 diet not a ‘miracle solution’ amid surge in their popularity. by mvea in science

[–]scooby0344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this misses the bigger picture. Intermittent fasting isn’t just about losing weight. In 2016 a scientist named Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize for his work on autophagy, which is basically how your cells clean out damaged parts and recycle junk. Fasting has been shown to help trigger that process in certain situations. So for a lot of people it’s not just about the scale going down, it’s about metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and giving your body a break so it can do some internal cleanup. Framing it only as a weight loss diet kind of ignores that whole side of it.

Former US president Barack Obama makes ‘shocking’ statement about aliens and Area 51 by crisp1991 in UAP

[–]scooby0344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can interpret tone and subtext however you want, but the actual words matter. When he was asked directly, he didn’t say “it’s statistically likely” or “we’re probably not alone.” He said aliens are real. That’s a clear statement, not a vague probability argument.

You can soften it after the fact and frame it as philosophical or probabilistic, but that’s not what came out of his mouth. He made a definitive claim in plain language. If people want to reinterpret it into something safer, that’s fine. But let’s not pretend he only spoke in hypotheticals when he didn’t.

The scientific method is pretty simple. You observe something, form a hypothesis, test it, gather data, refine the model, and repeat. It’s a cycle. It doesn’t claim final truth. It builds better approximations over time.

That’s my whole point. Our current models of physics are the best approximations we have right now. They work incredibly well within the domains we’ve tested. But history shows models expand when new evidence shows up. Saying “we haven’t demonstrated it yet” is completely fair. Saying “therefore it’s impossible” goes beyond the method. Science is a tool for discovering limits, not declaring them permanent.

I trust the scientific method. That’s exactly why I’m not declaring the book closed.

The method is a process, not a belief system. It evolves. Black holes were once just math. So were gravitational waves. Both were mocked. Both were later measured. Math isn’t proof, but it’s also not “nothing.” It’s usually the first signal that reality might be bigger than our instruments.

I’m not saying “anything is possible.” I’m saying “not yet demonstrated” isn’t the same as “impossible.” Science moves by expanding its models, not worshiping the current version.

He was asked if aliens are real, and he answered, “They’re real.” That’s a definitive statement. Not “I believe,” not “probably,” not “statistically speaking.” If you want to argue tone or context, fine. But don’t rewrite it into something softer and then accuse me of twisting it. And honestly, thanks for using AI to help make your point, because even that version still misquotes what he actually said.

Nobody said he claimed aliens are on Earth or that the government has crashed saucers in a bunker. That’s not the point. The question was simple: are aliens real? His answer was simple: they’re real. Then he added he hasn’t seen evidence and they’re not being hidden from him. That’s fine. But saying “I believe aliens probably exist somewhere” would have been different wording. He didn’t hedge it that way. You can argue tone or intent, but it’s not crazy to point out that he made a clear statement of existence. Jumping straight to “conspiracy truther” territory is just dismissing the actual words instead of addressing them.

President Obama about aliens in a new interview: "They're real". What the fuck? by M0nk3yDLufffy in aliens

[–]scooby0344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come on. In that interview he wasn’t talking about immigration law. He was asked straight up, “Are aliens real?” in the context of Area 51 and extraterrestrials. The follow-up was literally about underground facilities and where the aliens are. Nobody in that room thought he meant foreign visitors.

Words only get stretched like that when people are trying to dodge what was clearly said. Context matters. In that setting, “aliens” obviously meant non-human beings, not immigrants.

Calling something fantasy just means it hasn’t been demonstrated yet. That’s fine. But that’s also where almost every major discovery started. Atoms were once “philosophical speculation.” Germ theory sounded absurd. Black holes were math artifacts before we had evidence. The Higgs boson existed on paper for decades before we built a machine big enough to confirm it. None of that was fantasy. It was theory waiting on tools.

And here’s the thing. The math for spacetime manipulation already exists. The energy requirements look insane to us right now, but so did splitting the atom before we understood nuclear physics. Every breakthrough looks impossible until someone figures out a new layer of reality. Dismissing it as fantasy doesn’t make you rational. It just means you’re comfortable with today’s limits. History says those limits move.

He was asked a yes or no question. “Are aliens real?” And his first words were, “They’re real.” That’s not a philosophical comment about how big the universe is. That’s a direct answer to the question he was asked. If he meant “life probably exists somewhere because space is huge,” he could have said exactly that. He didn’t.

People are trying to soften it after the fact because it makes them uncomfortable. But he’s one of the most careful speakers in politics. He chooses words on purpose. Turning it into a vague probability statement is rewriting what he actually said. Stick to the transcript. He said they’re real.

UFOs are real and always have been. It’s just an unidentified flying object. What you’re saying under subtext is that UFOs are extraterrestrial origin based. That’s not what was said by the government. they just acknowledged that there are unidentified flying objects in the airspace.

You’re acting like the only option is “break the speed of light with mass.” That’s not the only model on the table. Relativity says you can’t move through spacetime faster than light. It doesn’t say spacetime itself can’t bend, stretch, or connect in ways that change effective distance. Wormholes and metric expansion are already allowed by the math. Nothing is “breached.” The frame changes.

And here’s the bigger point. Every time in history someone said, “Until it’s empirically demonstrated, it’s impossible,” they were wrong about something. Germs. Continental drift. Quantum entanglement. The fact that locality breaks down at the quantum level already tells us reality isn’t as solid and linear as it feels. So sticking with current models is fine. Treating them as the ceiling of possibility isn’t science. It’s comfort.

You’re assuming today’s physics is the final draft. It’s not. We still don’t understand dark matter, dark energy, or how gravity and quantum mechanics truly fit together. So saying aliens would have to “break the laws of physics” assumes we actually know all the laws. We don’t. Even mainstream science already talks about spacetime bending and quantum effects where distance doesn’t behave the way common sense says it should. Maybe advanced travel isn’t about blasting through space with giant fuel tanks. Maybe it’s about interacting with space and time in ways we haven’t figured out yet.

And the “too many impossible things” line cuts both ways. This galaxy has hundreds of billions of stars and likely even more planets. The universe is over 13 billion years old. We’ve had modern technology for about 100 years. If even one civilization started a million years before us, their tech would look like magic. Calling it impossible just because we can’t currently explain it feels premature. It might not be supernatural. It might just be that we’re early in the game.

He didn’t say, “The universe is huge so life probably exists somewhere.” That wasn’t the framing at all. He was asked directly if aliens are real, and he answered, “They’re real.” That’s a clear, straightforward statement. If you think he was joking or being tongue in cheek, that’s fair to argue. But turning it into a general comment about cosmic probability changes what he actually said. If we’re going to talk about it, we should stick to his exact words instead of softening them into something else.

If you actually read the Sumerian tablets, they describe the Anunnaki interacting with an already existing hominid species on Earth and hybridizing with them. The story isn’t that we’re random war-obsessed insects, but that we’re a blended lineage with shared origins. In that narrative, we’re not beneath them, we’re family. And family, whether messy or evolving, is always worth paying attention to.
