Heres the thing. Every month, once a month. They probe you and not just them but they hand you around to their friends probing you over and over again. Every month, once a month. And then. for no reason. they stop. You never hear from them again. No calls. No text. No email. Nuthin. Totally ghosted. wtf!

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I thought we were talking about aliens...
theres a lot of cross cultural relations. ghosts, aliens, demons, fairies, etc.
And then one becomes President. Again.
Don't threaten me with a good time...

I was initially searching for even another one, but couldn’t find it - where aliens invade earth and request a number of people to conduct experiments on. Only to have them delivered in a short amount of time. The humans reveal that they just posted the alien’s request to several kink forums on the internet and there were many people willing to participate.
Alien abduction stories have a survivorship bias.
2/3 of our planet has a great place to drop test subjects that gave them the answers they wanted outside of fecal samples.
Were you watching my Sims play throughs?
No, yuri tentacle hentai.
I believe the anal probing stories of the 50s-70s were excuses made up by queer men to rationalize their late night encounters.
Alien in a wig = cute twink?
That or just an indictment of how pervasive homophobia and xenophobia was in the zeitgeist of that era.
"Aliens are different, so they must be wanting to do bad things to us ^cause it is what I would do in their shoes^ What are some bad things they could be doing to us? Sticking things up our butts ^which is something I'm terrified of happening to me, cause what if I enjoy it and it makes me gay!^"

In comparison to the other experiments that could be conducted on us, probing does sound relatively mild. What I want to know is why these super advanced beings that are capable of interplanetary travel haven’t been able to come up with a more sophisticated method of studying us than sticking things up our bums. Unless they enjoy it.
Plot Twist: It is us who enjoy it.
Maybe it's just some people who are so afraid and yet so fascinated about the thought of getting plowed in the ass, that they have to envision a powerful, advanced alien race that they're unable to fight, so they can justify the fantasy to themselves without having to come to terms as to why their peepee tingles when they look at other peepees.
Don’t kink shame.
Now I’m picturing a sort of reverse cargo cult situation in which the aliens, after a generation or so, think this is expected as a sort of human greeting.
It seems weird, but it always starts good relations, so…
(e: in some federation of planets, word has got round that this is the customary greeting when visiting earth.)
Depends on the construction, depth, speed, and any other unfathomable spacetime-related capabilities of said probe.
Most people who report such an experience seem to have been relatively uninjured. e: sometimes they claim to be tagged with a chip or something. We tend to do that to animals, too.
I have never probed an animal’s anus so please speak for yourself.
On the other end of the spectrum, vets go elbow deep into their patients. We're not judging...
That's what you think!
With a username like yours, I would have expected a little more enthusiasm :D
Probes just don't do it for him I guess.
Ologies with Ali Ward (aka DadWard) I listened to it yesterday while fixing my hard wood floorboards - pretty interesting hey. I kept thinking the guest sounded a lot like Will Forte.
Pic of your floorboards? Sorry if that’s too forward.
Sure, I like someone who knows what they want. Have three! I had a bit of a rude shock once it was too late to back out - I was like “who the hell glued these quarters down man?!”
Still gotta seal the area. Getting to this point took me far longer than I care to admit.
Ooh.
I live in a 120 year old house and had several rooms violated by the worst fake pictures-of-wood that was glued down with industrial adhesive, and with many patches with terrible wood in conspicuous places.
There’s no way to make my wood look goood naked.
Yours is gorgeous. Thanks.
Alien anal probes ha e and always will be the accepted form of gayness in the rural parts of America. No one wants to say they let Charlie dick them down when they got drunk in the field. "It's aliens, I swear!!"
