Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Ok, so lets say intelligent aliens that can space travel turn out to be real. What do you imagine they would look like and what would their goals be? What planet would they be from? (media4.giphy.com)

They would be four foot tall desert crabs. They would have at least one hand with extra pinchers so that it gives them complex grasping ability. They would live in colonies. They basically would evolve intelligence to work together cooperatively to gather resources during the wet season and then unfortunately to steal resources better during the dry season. Their complex manipulators would allow them to make tools to improve their lot and eventually create enough surplus calories to develop large brains
