Give em The Harkness Test

post
A few years later:
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations. And have sex with them.
Be honest, Riker wrote that plot didn't he?:-)
I guess you're not familiar with the exploits of Captain James T. Kirk?
Kirk mostly used seduction as a tool; he fucked women because it was expedient. Riker did it just because he could.
Yeah it's made explicit with dialog in the show that the Enterprise itself is Kirk's primary obsession.
Yo, my man Trip was first.
βHowever, I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars?β
Riker Maneuver intensifies.

Thank you.
Low quality ass jpegs in 2024 should be a war crime.
High quality ass-jpegs only up in here!
Obviously Earth has passed the test.
They were given a task, found a group for whom the task would be ideal in both their willingness and ability to do it, and presented this group to the task giver. They did not force a slave class, they didn't do a lottery, they didn't see it as a chance to get rid of undesirables, they just sent people who legitimately wanted to go.
There was no victim, thus there was no crime.
If these aliens can't tell, they're morons who clearly didn't think it through.

There's a popular phrase:"breeding like rabbits". We view rabbits like some sex crazed breeding machines, like all they do is fuck. What if we're the galactic rabbits and the other galactic civilizations aren't trying to fuck everything that moves? Maybe for them kinks aren't a thing and as such their test makes sense because you can't prepare for something you can't imagine (or believe to be impossible).
Imagine you want to prank an alien by putting a bucket on top of the door. When the alien walks in the bucket falls on them. Brilliant, except the alien doesn't move the door because it phases through the door. Are you stupid for making a prank that expects the victim to be solid? Or did you just make the prank based on the knowledge you have, which includes knowing you can't just phase through things.
The aliens weren't dumb. Maybe they did think in through and they thought it would be impossible to be intelligent being to want to fuck extraterrestrials.
I mean id at least sign up. Who knows, I could be into it.
If not, hell, at least I'm off earth.
It's weird... I feel like any civilisation worth joining the galactic federation would have no issues finding volunteers to save their civilisation anyway (though maybe not 14 minutes...)
You know, sometimes I wish I did a little more with my life instead of hanging out in front of places selling weed and shit. Like, maybe be an animal doctor. Why not me? I like seals and shit. Or maybe an astronaut. Yeah. Like, be the first motherfucker to see a new galaxy, or find a new alien lifeform... and fuck it. And people'd be like, "There he goes. Homeboy fucked a Martian once.
15 bucks little man, put that shit in my hand
"I mean we've been coming here for 50 years and performing anal probes and all that we have learned is that one in ten doesn't really seem to mind."
Shut up and get that alien dick out!
I'll bet they have advanced healthcare.
That alone would get you the volunteers.

I miss that sub
Uhm, if the owner of the site is here, the "random" button presents you with an xml.
Just blow them up while you can...they spread
