I recently rewatched the video of the woman on the plane screaming that the passenger beside her wasn't human and it got me thinking about something I've seen.

I remember seeing a teenage girl in a small food store I go to address the guy behind the counter as 'human'. "Thanks, human." Stuff like that. I think she was just doing a bit or something but I thought it was strange.

Or, another thought, maybe I'm just curious and want to have something interesting to read. Or, maybe I am the silly who worries about how light reflects. Or, maybe I'm the non-human wanting to interact with humans. It's all a possibility.

no no. just us earthlings here. aliens are not hiding among the populace. don't be a silly milly.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, I didn't say aliens! You did. Now, I think there aliens among us.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

no no no. all us humans are human. stop making waves.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's just what an alien would say

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

no no. you are just as human as I. I do not hold your words against you. Let us not worry about aliens because there is much hilarity and action on our primitive network technology.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ok, sure. Now I'm worried about synthetic humans or mimics posing as humans. Maybe I'll peruse our global network to find a video of music to distract myself. Or maybe a video of a human owned pet.
