Are we screwing ourselves by transmitting radio signals into space?

This episode was so dramatic, especially with the background music.

This needs to be a video game
An alien explorer discovers the once great earth civilization

[bluntbangs]

I don't know why, but that last part gave me chills. Sounds like a good plot of a science fiction story.

First answer: the animals be partying instantly

[Vsauce]

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

this hit me in the feels... am i really the only one?

[taliakellegg]

Aliens will be confused that everyone lived in the desert

[MHAN]

I swear if these guys were my A level teachers, I'd be so happy, entertaining way to learn rather than the standard textbook!

[luciferbroke]

What if humans never existed in the first place?

[christians]

Imagine if we disappear and then come back like, a hundred years later.

[Avi_n_Ash]

This stuff needs to be incorporated into post-apocalyptic movies, if not made into one.

Started crying over this video for some reason...

So when everyone says “what if I was the last person on earth” this would be what the last person on earth sees because that one person can’t travel the whole world and keep all of this maintained all at once. That would be a disaster 🤯

We, the human race is damning this planet. It's funny that the last 100years has created such change to the atmosphere. Imagine what'll happen in another 100yrs. Our problem is that we all don;t see it as our problem until it's too late. We honestly don't deserve this planet. Says me, on my laptop, writing this.

If Humans disappeared? The Earth would heal :-)

Does anyone ever wish the human population was less than 1 million and we all lived in small thriving societies and towns that were clean, environmentally friendly and sustainable, leaving almost the whole natural world to explore yet not destroy.

[boohbah]

nobody:
me at 3 am: what if humans disappeared

[acertainscientificloli]

Mother nature doesn't need humans to survive, But humans need nature to survive.

[BreezyInterwebs]

the ending with the aliens was deeper than the Mariana Trench

[hanaeve__]

How will this happen?
I dunno, just ask Thanos
