How to know when the aliens are here on Earth.

Featured Replies

Let's say you watch a youtube video. Maybe music or a drama. Turn on Youtube captions. If you see the word heat randomly come up from time to time in the captions, then aliens are controlling the text generation.

But not to worry, as long as you don't see heat on Youtube captions, then all is well.

So THAT's why the captions have improved so much lately! 😄 

Most names are spelled right, there is punctuation, and there's a ">>" indicator when the voice changes, which is often accurate. 🙂

Old videos still have the old captions.

The aliens are perfectly welcome if they can fix the captions.

You're saying the heat is real??  And that's why the aliens are typing it randomly?

Poor aliens.  

So now we know.  Entering closed captions for videos is literally a sweat shop. 😄

Yes, you're right. It's sad. But the aliens will be more comfortable when they go back to their own planet's weather.

Being half alien myself because my mother was abducted by aliens and half my genes come form a galaxy far far away I already knew this.

But I thought the Heat Rising was directly related to the decline of the global population of Pirates.... NO

Alien Climatization sounds good to me too 🤔

^ Yeah, Mathew, the poor Youtube minimum wage alien captions crew came from a cold planet. Probably Mars. They're miserable, always complaining. Really sad. 😞

They seem to collect in the armed forces.  I've seen many of them.  The base they are on is the worst one they have ever seen but the one they left was great and the one they want to go to will be better yet.  The food in the mess hall is terrible but they lick the plates clean.  Their first sergeant is the dumbest incompetent they have ever seen.  The officers are all a bunch of jerks.  As long as they do their jobs it's best to ignore them.  We all wish they would go back to their home planet.

The food is awful and there's never enough.

Complaining is a time-honored tradition in the military.  In Napoleon's army they were called "grognards", grumblers, and they were highly represented in the veterans of Napoleon's Imperial Guard.

Do aliens have an affinity for the military?

I had a thought.  Imagine being a young impressionable alien joining their version of the Foreign Service expecting to see the galaxy, then getting stuck in a backwater having to enter YouTube captions.  "Heat" may be an alien obscenity.
