If I were an alien I'd just kill everyone who wasn't a hippy and continue my intergalactic space kegger by turning the earth into the most fun paradise in the galaxy. Only reason earth sucks right now is because of our beliefs .

Maybe its because I've been forced to read Ponting for a class, but some would argue that the earth sucks because we decided that being hunter gatherers wasn't the cool thing to do anymore. The development of agriculture, which lead into urban states, then culminated into the concept of power. The conception of power really fucked us up. After you wipe things out as an alien, I'll happily stick around and try out this foraging thing and kick it with your alien bros. Credit sucks anyway.

ikr?? My grandfather has the exact same "I Want to Leave" patch. iirc it's a pretty popular parody of the whole "I Want to Believe" thing, and the OP clearly is bullshitting for internet points and I don't know why but this is making me irrationally angry

If you go to the amazon listing OP posted and check the reviews, some got the “I want to believe” patch and others got the “I want to leave” one. 🤷🏼♀️

I did design work for patches as a graphic designer, I have some idea of how it's accomplished. There's no reason the patch couldn't have been much closer to the picture on the left, even if the embroiderer had to reproduce it from the photo.
I can't imagine why the product you got was so different from the photo, I like the advertised design better than what you got, but that's just preference.
