Resistance is futile!
Prepare to be assimilated!
Your biological and technological distinctive will be added to our own!
 
I just typed "Hello from Planet Earth" because I feel like i'm talking to myself. :/
 
SUCK MY DICK ALIENS HAHAHA!

MY AIM OF CONTACTING YOU IS TO SEEK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN TRANSFERRING THE SUM OF THIRTY FIVE MILLION U.S.DOLLARS OUT OF NIGERIA AND INTO YOUR TRUSTED BANK ABROAD.

Winner.
 
The planet is 20 light years away, so they won't be getting our message anytime soon, nor will be get a response unless they're more advanced (in which case they know best not to respond).
 
We're doomed. "HI GUIZE, WE'RE FROM PLANET EARF. COME VISIT US! DERP"




One week later.

Unfortunately. I've always wanted an alien invasion to take place.

yes, i can be a prick even off world
 
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
 
Possible things to send

"All your base are belong to us!"
"Gordon Freeman, you fool!"
"Is this thing on?"
"So what is your dirty little secret?"
"Mini Me, stop humping the laser."
"If you are reading this you are too late!"
 
Sucks that the messages have to be approved first. Now, i'm not saying let any person just type some profane words, but I feel like if I write anything but something overused like "Hello, etc etc", it wont be sent.

Because I would really like to send "All your base are belong to us!"
 
Friendly greetings from Earth, I hope someday our speciALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO TOAD
 
WELL I'd like to send them the link to google translate!
 
And then, thousands of years later, a fledgling primitive civilization saw flashes in the sky.

Conviced that the gods wee calling to them, they plunged their spears into their hearts to join their master, eradicating their kind in just one night.

Wouldn't it be just perfect if the first received message by an alien race was "do you aliens like pee out of tenticles rofl"
 
THIS

IS

SPARTA I mean NASA

Hi

Beware of the dark lord peter mandelson. The force is strong in this one.
 
Oh god, oh god, I don't know what to write. There must be some statement that would perfectly express what best to say to an alien civilisation. There must be some statement which would penetratingly if not comprehensively sum up our species and its lot. But if I were in charge of that message I would only dither and dally until the system ended up automatically sending the last thing I typed:

sulkdodds > vamo12
pool cleaner is drinkable, right?
 
These kinds of messages have been sent before. A message was sent to the gleise system a few years ago with short text messages from celebrities and politicians.

The idea is, if there are aliens in the gleise system, they won't be able to understand any messages that we send of this nature. These stunts are really just designed to raise money and public awareness.

If an alien race receives one of these messages, all it is likely to do is tell them that there is an intelligent civilization on Earth. They will never be able to decode the messages. If they receive the message, the idea is that they're supposed to send something similar in return, followed shortly by a real attempt at communication (using, say, mathematics or physical constants.)

or a planet destroying space monster designed solely to wipe out civilizations that spend every day fighting with each other in the name of (insert god here)
 
This was great one I saw

It's Earth here. We've got a great comedy serial for you all out there, it's called "The X Files". You'll have lots of fun watching it! Hope to meet you one day

Trying to bore an alien race to death is just asking to be invaded.
 
what we should be doing is sending them pictures or sound clips rather than text since they won't be able to understand anything.

They should send them 2 things:

picture of our planet

and picture of an urban environment

All they need to do so the aliens actually have a visual of us. Text = pointless.

Considering they have probably watched all our educational children programmes for the past 70 years, I have high hopes they will do just fine.
 
lol at all the people writing messages like "humans are a peaceful intelligent species who love each other".

I bet they'll land on our planet with flowers and gifts, expecting a peaceful cultural exchange. Then we'll ambush them and loot their warp drives and plasma rifles.

Who is to say they can even see with eyes? Who says that if they have eyes, they see visible light? Who is to say that they can hear sound?

Imagine a race of bat-like creatures who "see" with echolocation. Imagine if their idea of sending an "image" was to send us an analog sound wave that describes the echolocated features of the image. We'd have no way to decode it.

We have to send messages in the simplest forms possible: unary radio beeps. If they use radio at all, they will notice the beeps, and if we put them in an interesting pattern (such as prime numbers), they will know they come from an intelligent source.
 
Binary codes should be used. Coded inside the radio waves. It works like a intergalactic Morse. Maybe we should beep them earth's location in Milky Way?

Lolled at chinese all typing funny stuff like "my hometown is nice. come here ill teach u!!!"
