[ The post drifts up onto the comms one evening, just a simple line of text to ask a simple question:]

guys, how do aliens know when other aliens are hot?

sometimes you just think of a question!

Are you sure about that?

In all seriousness, though, I don't know? Attraction isn't something you really decide on , and it doesn't necessarily have to be physical. If I had to give a guess, it's probably because people have a tendency to befriend beings even outside our species.

Think about it. People bond with animals, and give names to plants and Roombas. It actually makes a sense that they'd find something to be attracted to once they met another species that was as intelligent as them.

i don't think animals and robots are good comparisons here,
barry.

[ Talk about your awkward implications. ]

[rushing_by]

That is not what I meant and you know it.

[whyarewehere]

okay, but having friends also doesn't mean you think they're hot?

unless this is some kind of way to ask me out, in which case i'm gonna have to say: sorry dude.

[ Jokes? Jokes. Use that to cover the fact he's publicly acknowledging friendship. ]
