is it really the cylons?

[FeatherDaemon1]

Do you think that fetishes are purely a human affair or do you think that out there somewhere tribes of humans are searching for a place to get a good tickle. Do nanites wear pantyhose? Could Yoda enjoy dumping itching-powder on sexy co-eds?

These are questions that I hope SETI will answer in my lifetime. :nydrunk:

Yeah I should really get some sleep... :laughing:

 

[Violetta]

I love you, FD. I love you more now than you can know.

And for the record, my spine does glow red when I get tickled. 😉

Dohohohooo. Yeah. I'm a nerd.

Hey, Last October I posted a thread of supposedly haunted places linked with ghostly tickling phenomenons. I wonder if there's any reported abductions that involved tickling....

I'm off to scour the net!

:redface: Aww... I'm just doing my job here, but I highly honor your compliment.

Although I will note your tickly spinal reaction 😉 That must be a sight to see. :laughing:

That's an awesome pic. If only that picture were really etched on Voyager's golden disc.

 

[melanie2]

i don't know about Yoda but i sure as hell don't need an itching powder while wearing nylons...damn i had no idea of the ticklishness of nylon tickling...Yoda would well yodel lol...

 

[Violetta]

Who the crap's talking about nylons? We're talking about Cylons!

 

[melanie2]

FD mentions nylons so there...and nylons, cyclons..what's the diff..it all rhymes..

Actually, if I remember correctly, I think this is the visual representation of a radio message that SETI was beaming into space back in the 80s/90s. Basicly, it's telling any intelligent life out there the method that we sent the message (The bottom shape is supposed to represent a giant sattellite dish) what we look like (the hominid form) how the message was sent (the wave shapes, which are radio waves) and... I forget the rest. I did some research on it in middle school long ago

What about the Anunnaki? http://www.truthism.com o.o

 

[FeatherDaemon1]

Yes the girl with the glowing spine is quite correct here.

FD mentions nylons so there...and nylons, cyclons..what's the diff..it all rhymes..

And though some Cylons may be quite sexy in nylons I believe I said nanites in pantyhose. I'm fairly certain that a Cylon would be quite offended if it were called a nanite. And not all pantyhose are made of synthetic material like silk stockings for example. :ayyy:

Here is a handy primer for spotting Cylons! (One would think that I would have read my own primer 😉)

I'm pretty sure that same message was etched onto a golden phonograph disk which was put on Voyager 2. There may be have been a different message on the disk. I just know that there is a record floating around in space to tell aliens how to find Earth.

I still beg the question though whether or not you think that fetishes are unique to humans. The sexual (asexual) urge for procreation is really the central act of preservation that any species has inherent in them. Are we humans being oddballs by goofing around with it. I mean honestly if some guy can't get it up unless his mate is dressed like a teddy bear then that really doesn't bode well for humanity. I know that conclusion is a little extreme, and yes I believe that we are all normal, yet still if everyone and I mean everyone had a kink that needed to satiated then it would throw monkey wrench into the whole operation. Obviously that isn't going to happen so may query is more philosophical than actual. Would an alien species embrace or disdain our little quirks and deviations?

 

[dentrag1231]

Well, the question of whetehr fetishess are unique to humans depends on a lot of things. First, not only life in space, but an unlikely event: intelligent life in space (for those wondering what makes it unlikely, read Dan Brown's Deception Point). And from there, sexual stimilation (so not asexual/ Stargate style Ancients, etc). and from their, multiple types unique to individuals.

Point noted though I am firm in my estimation that life in the universe not only exists but is quite abundant including intelligent life. Travel and communication is the sticking point in whether or not we can interact with them. For all we know the nearest civilization may have only communicated in the electromagnetic spectrum for a limited period and those signals could have passed by us while we were still chucking rocks at each other. Our signals have barely gotten anywhere in 60-70 years.

I do agree that biology would have a big role in their method of procreation. Yet still I am more interested in their psychology. How would they see us? How would their sociological evolution have to be for them to develop fetishes?

Yeah, I know if there were to be a myriad number of civs out there then the same possible numbers of answers exist. Eh, I was just musing last night. :happy:

I'm not familiar with the work of Dan Brown, but I'll check him out...

On to the question of intelligent life...

I actually don't agree with any supposition that says it's difficult for intelligent life to exist. However, on the other hand, I'm also one of those people who believes that we have too narrow of a definition of "life-supporting."

It's not only popular belief, but also appears to be operating policy for space agencies, that if there's not some oxygen, then life can't exist. What a hoot! There's things that live on our very planet for which oxygen is a poison. Microbes that metabolize the harsh chemicals that pour out of deep-sea vents. Anaerobic bacteria that live in the steaming hot geysers of Yellowstone. Hell! How can we believe, with things like that around, that air is even needed? Okay, that last bit isn't serious. Life can't exist in a vacuum...

Or can it? Again, the assumption is made that living beings have to be biologically similar to us. What of silicon-based life? That theory's made the rounds before. For a fictional exploration of it, read Crichton's "The Andromeda Strain" or watch the 70s movie (I think it's better than the remake).

A living being mustn't necessarily metabolize oxygen, as pointed out earlier. Imagine a form of life that lives in the vacuum that draws its energy from the charged particles of the solar wind. Imagine a creature that lives in the crushing, poisonous atmosphere of Jupiter or Saturn.

Now, when you consider the other possibilities... when you realize that things musn't necessarily be like us, you must open your mind to the amazing diversity of life. Consider an intelligent being that has a control/memory system that operates on a totally different concept from us. For example, a crystalline optical brain complex. What about forgoing eyes, nose, and ears... our core senses... for the ability to sense electromagnetism and air currents?

All of these things are possible! So, you must ask yourself...

Would you want to tickle an eyeless space being with tentacle-arms that has a crystal brain in its stomach? This is to assume that its sense of touch allows for ticklishness and that it is capable of emotion. If it is capable of emotion, then the chance that it laughs is slim. It may change color or glow brightly.

Or die.

Who knows?

Pfft. Long as it's female crystal-brain entity and has ticklish feet, 90% of this site will say "Hell yes!" An overlapping 10% will beg her to tickle them with her tentacles. A few will demand to see pictures of its psuedopods wearing fishnet stockings. A good half dozen will be busy creating accounts as lesbian blind crystal tentactle entities, all named, oddly enough, Jhen'nai.

And for the record, my spine does glow red when I get tickled. 😉

F**k yeah! :drool


that's what i'm talking about!
