So how are the US/Russia talks in Geneva going?

Can we just let Siri and Alexa battle it out?

Those Aliens are Jinxonian, they hate Earth to pieces!

Actually, autocorrect might have it about right. Once the aliens had eaten all the humans, they would leave Earth in peace.

“All I’m tryin to do is walk the stupid path of peace. But you’ve forced me to walk the path of pieces” -Will Sasso (Steven seagal parody)

“Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“We wish to ignite you for dinner…”

After monitoring Earth, I’m surprised it isn’t shortened to: We wish to leave Earth

“Autocorrect is my worst enema.” ~~anon.

Leave your comment here….. We will translate. Be careful to Spell correctly. You do not want to start another intergalactic war. (Note: translation not guaranteed)

It’s just the computer overlords taking control.

It’s good to know such advanced life forms have problems with auto-correct too.

Sayyyy. Maybe some other aliens have taken over AC.

Lost in translation.

This reminds me of Eric Frank Russell’s short story “Top Secret”, where messages relayed through various dialects and languages across the galaxy results in humorous results. https://variety-sf.blogspot.com/2008/04/eric-frank-russell-top-secret-short.html

Fortunately, the command to “Prepare to attack!” came across as “Preppers to Alaska!”
