Beings From Another World Visit.Where Would You Take Them?
 
Just for fun

They land, and want to know about human culture so you have to show them some of our cities..Where do you go, and what do you do?..I can see some entertaining stuff brewing.

First of all, you have to start off with a first impression. Where would the faux capital of the world be to initially receive them on landing?

Next, do you take them to a Yankees game in NYC, or do something else in that city?

Is Vegas a must see or skip?

London, England - do you take them to a Pink Floyd reunited show, because you know it will go down if the band knew ahead?

Do you take them on a tour of some of our kryptonite mines? :D

silicon vally.

to see how they react.

several dozen distilleries around scotland.

that's about all they'll need to experience.

they would then respect us for our magic.

I'd take them to the pyramids in Egypt and ask how they built those things.

I first take a hit off of whatever inspired this thread. Then I pass it around.

In all seriousness, I think that if something got here before we knew it existed then they would be unimpressed by our cities.

They might be underwhelmed with NYC, but who, or what can pass on Disneywhirled?

dubu Nov 22, 2019 6:35 PM

they would be unimpressed by our space rockets, cars, cities, pets ect

Direct them to the closest cow pasture and tell them 'have at it'

I was thinking of posting something similar..Why did you screw with us knowing that we would talk about pyramids some 3000 years later? :)

But supposing that they were only slightly more advanced then us, then maybe they may have a "why didn't we think of this" moment with our television technolgy and viewing culture.
They may get into the Kardashians even.

maru2501 Nov 22, 2019 8:37 PM

to florida and tell them they can have it back now

Razor Nov 22, 2019 8:54 PM

Show them a Platypus, and ask them if this was another one of their pyramid type puzzle jokes?

To Jacksonville, Florida to show them the best skyline in the world.

Razor Nov 22, 2019 10:22 PM

Then show them human productivity, by bringing them to a child sweat shop in China

Next, Show them how we humans entertain ourselves by showing them bungee jumping off the Golden Gate bridge, followed by a trip up to the Calgary Stampede to show them us riding bulls, and finally our energy source by showing them the tar sands further North in Alberta.

When they say take me to your leader, who do we bring them to??
