     @HauntedOwlbear I was just reading Tiny Person a bedtime science book about the night sky, and went off on a tangent about how ‘of course aliens exist, but they aren’t going to be interested in knocking on our front door, they will be off making dyson spheres instead’ and then I open masto and read this, and have spooked myself a bit.
