If they’re still around, they’ll be so advanced they’ll not want to contact us again in case they interfere with our culture.

Tipping is a bad thing for society; it’s discriminatory (tips are proportional to how cute you are), it’s arbitrary (why do you tip the waitstaff but not the people who cook the food?). It’s optional in France, unheard of in Japan.

Let’s hope they never realise you can make a ‘vampire movie’ without needing to own any character rights...

Let’s speculate about what’s in that toast article without reading it!

Maybe we’re living inside a Larry David sitcom, and the purpose of the monologue was to be awkward and make everyone uncomfortable.

"Evenly spaced over the entire island so we can make sure everyone on it dies if I do."
