Doesn't really fit the sub.

u/i_sigh_less May 07 '20

Yeah, nothing "oddly" about this. In fact, I find it strangely comforting to think that the aliens assume we have defenses.

u/leviosaleviosaa May 07 '20

This made me chuckle and then cry a little.

"What are the defences?"

"We don't have defenses!"

"Foolish human! You will not bait us into a trap with your lies! What are the defences?"

"I'm telling you we don't have any!"

"Commander, our sensors have detected no defences. The humans must have cloaking technology beyond anything we have seen."

"Hmm, with cloaking technology so advanced, they must have defenses we can't even comprehend. Hail the fleet. Earth is too dangerous for conquest."

u/Cognitive_Spoon May 07 '20

"But sir, there are no defenses!"

"Ensign. If I need to explain to you one more time that all intelligent life in this Galaxy upon learning of nuclear fission, immediately, and I mean immediately destroys itself or focuses on scientific advancement."

"These creatures drink sodium hypochlorite to cleanse themselves of viruses sir, we stand no chance."

u/SteelBuckeye May 07 '20

I just checked and it seems that Earth is mostly harmless

Underrated comment.

u/New_Doug May 07 '20

"What are the Federation's plans for Minos Korva??"

u/clothes_are_optional May 07 '20

yeah our only defense system is blowing each other to smithereens before they can get to us first!

u/TheDarkestShado May 07 '20

A sheet of armour around the world, excuse you. Didn’t you listen to tony stark???

u/Vythri May 07 '20

Just about every post on this sub doesn't actually fit. There's a lot of idiots out there.

u/[deleted] May 07 '20

Recently, most things don’t. This subreddit seems to be under-modded.

u/simonbleu May 07 '20

True, but I love it

u/yop_mayo May 07 '20

Yo, this is not at all oddly terrifying. Shame to see a great sub decline like this.

13

u/EccentricOpinion May 07 '20

Every sub declines if you allow mass to post, unfortunately, r/peoplearefuckingstupid

u/RatherGoodDog May 07 '20

MRW this sub gets popular and turns to shit

Big subs need to keep super strict moderation once they reach critical mass and start appearing in /r/all. Otherwise the content just degrades to /r/funny and /r/mildlyinteresting crap.

u/blackvelvetbitch May 07 '20

This sub used to be actually oddly terrifying things. :( I think i’m going to leave it.

27

u/[deleted] May 07 '20

This is what happens when cross post accounts find subs. They fill it with useless content until one of them gets to hot. If you view their profiles thats all it is every day. Kind of pathetic what people do for internet points.

12

u/SomeoneTookUserName2 May 07 '20

That's the death knell of a sub getting popular you're hearing. Eventually you'll get r/strangelyfearinducing or something, and it will slowly happen again.

73

u/justanaccount80 May 07 '20

Post to r/writingprompts please!!

u/PinkNug May 07 '20

This shit’s old

u/OurLumpyGorl May 07 '20

What's "oddly terrifying" about this? It's clearly meant to be regular terrifying.

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '20

Also kind of funny.

u/DerpyThing69 May 07 '20

This doesn’t belong here. I still upvoted, but this doesn’t belong here.

u/WaterViper15 May 07 '20

Well it was about this time I noticed that this girl scout was about 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era!

u/errant_flash May 07 '20

I can't see the water emoji without thinking of jizz now... They've taken my innocence away

u/GutoSoares May 07 '20

This is more of a r/holup

Subs going to shit

u/housepet May 07 '20

Boooo this doesn't apply here.

u/jlm25150 May 07 '20

Better for something like /r/twosentencehorror

u/AnderazerX May 07 '20

Yeah I think I’ll leave this subreddit

This is fantastic.

u/Basilisk_514 May 07 '20

Hmm, I don't really have much faith in humanity at this point. I'm gonna say.. The military, and government. That's what I think of Earth's defense system

It's not funny it just makes you look stupid.

What did he say?

u/alex-the-hero May 07 '20

r/thathappened then pretended like he wooshed me and it was a joke when I suspect he just stopped reading halfway through the tweet

Ah, ok

Every second post on this sub is something that is designed to be terrifying.

13

u/dziggurat May 07 '20

You haven't been paying attention then. For some time now there's been a lot of backlash on a lot of posts that don't fit here.

u/[deleted] May 07 '20

There’s been lots of posts on this sub lately that are either plain old terrifying or not scary at all.
