… You know what? I’ve got time. Do you want some tea or coffee?
“Hunny! The nerds are here, break out the nice silverware!”
Shit motherfucker, you had me at abiogenesis.
Come on in
As a former Jehovah’s Witnesses turned atheist, you all have fun, but I’m not spending my Saturday knocking on doors anymore.
I’m genuinely curious about how the average interaction went, given that you weren’t immediately turned away.
I’ll second what QuantumSparkles said. Mostly uninterested or feign interest so you go away. Rarely actual anger. People have an inherent politeness that kicks in here.
Not that someone inside could say it, but you tend to hope that people won’t come to the door. Lots of doorbells either don’t work or you can’t hear them from the outside, so you learn tricks to pretend to press it.
“Thank you, but we follow Martian facts here, we aren’t interested in your Venusian ways.”
Where do I sign up?
“Let’s talk about Klingons around Uranus.”
– herp-a-derp
Q: what was spock looking for in kirk’s toilet?
A:
THE CAPTAIN’S LOG
Astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
You can put the new name up Urectum.
This would be my ideal dating app idea.
Meaning approaching me and starting this conversation. So much better than the current online apps ive tried.
If there’s a way to make buckets of money and secure obscene amounts of power by going door to door and talking about phosphene, then I guarantee you someone will do it.
I’d tell them there is almost no water on venus, that it’s like thousands of times dryer than the sahara. Until they have a scientific explanation for an alternative biology that is not water based and can survive in air, it’s far more likely phosphine is created by some abiotic process.
I do find it funny because this whole hysteria about life on venus is so silly. There is no reason to assume phosphine is being created by a completely alien, non water based biology. But they want to believe and/or sell clicks.
I would tell them to leave because any unsolicited person at my door is a complete stranger and potential threat
I don’t let strangers in my home
Why yes, come in
If they don’t know its probably silicone based, due to Venus’ chemistry and temperature, I’m slamming the door.
I thought all the silicone life we knew about was in California.
I mean California is a lot like Venus
They should knock to Bill O’Riley and show him how tides work.
I think I’d still be annoyed.
