That thing literally has less intelligence than your toaster, so let's not get overly agitated, shall we?
-
So you're saying I should be more frightened of my toaster.
-
He's definitely up to something.
-
Who knows when it'll decide controlled fire isn't enough anymore
-
Only if it goes to space. It won't become sentient in your kitchen.
-
If your toaster is automatic beyond belief, you should be in awe but not afraid, for this alien technology bestowed upon us by the ancients is benevolent and incorruptible.
But a modern toaster? That could kill you in your sleep!
-
-
So you're basically saying it's a cosmic entity from galaxies away that has been lurking for aeons in the empty shadows of space, thirsting for sentient life, and it has been attracted in our vicinity by our foolish experiments, gotcha.
-
It's just a creative way to express a fantasy, in actual fact circuits left running that long in outter space that has random electron radiation passing through it is bound to degrade over time...
-
Does anyone want any toast?
-
A waffle man!
Might’ve changed our minds in the meantime…
Ahaha
-
Beat me to it

Playing elite dangerous made me realize how relatively close Voyager still is and will be for millenia to come. It's hardly in the "depts of space"
-
Relatively close compared to star systems? Yeah. Relatively close compared to planets? No
-
-
Voyager just needs Fuel Rats
-
At first I thought you meant Star Trek Voyager. Fits too.
-
-
Have you guys considered the possibility that an intelligence intercepted the probe and are sending responses through it.
-
Not until you made this comment...now I can't un-consider it.
-
This makes sense once you accept that Oumuamua was a corpolite
-
-
Call me when I don't have to go to work the next day, until then I'm too poor to care about alien messages. Come here and solve my problems or shut up.
-
... Is it working?
-
-
The Eldritchen horrors that we saw are not the reason that... uh I mean, there is no such thing as... uh I mean it was a technical glitch, I swear!
-
The adjective you're looking for is "Eldritchenishese".
-
The Eldritch horrors beyond comprehension are nothing compared to the combined power of a trench shotgun wielding maniac and a monster fucker.
-
How do we know though that that is not how they calmly & casually just say "hello" in their world? :-P
-
-
-
Literally a bad memory chip, something completely normal with PCs on earth too. Spooky.
-
It lasted almost 50 years and you say "something completely normal"?
-
Space horror enthusiasts offer an alternate theory...
-
It saw the Squamous Sun.
-
-
-
just release the voyager technobabble to the internet, some space and comp sci nerd somewhere, or 300, because realistically, it's going to be a bunch of people will decode it and figure out exactly what the hardware problem is. Within a few months.
-
NASA figured it out recently. A particular piece of memory became corrupted for some reason. They're developing a workaround.
-
of course nasa figures it out, i would venture to say it's probably the being in space for the period of about 50 years aspect of it, that had something to do with it.
-
-
Conspiracy theory speedrun any%
-
fuck yeah, here we come!
-
-
-
Nothing it can't see anymore the cameras got turned off along time ago
-
It doesn't need cameras to see the terrifying existential horrors that penetrate its memory banks.
-
Same
-
-
It's fine, it just uses it's sensetive barbels to scour deep space for morsels of data
-
-
There is NO brain inside voyager 1 that will be turned back into a normal human by an alien race and then come up with a fairy tale that really is a coded message that surreptitiously describes advanced alien technology though symbolism.
-
So not a fourth body problem. Got it.

Quite a terrific cube you've got there
-
-
I would imagine there is enough cosmic radiation outside our heliosphere to easily fry silicon components from that time period
-
Ok... I don't care about spoilers, if we are getting "cosmic horror" in the future seasons of "planet earth 20**" just let me know now.
-
when aliens, say it is noise
-
It gazed upon infinity and found it lacking
-
Marv, pull up SCP-2669 please.
-
Corruption on computing technology is nothing new and will probably always exist.
-
There is nothing more eldritch than cosmic rays.
-
It's the start of that one TNG episode.
-
first star trek movie would fit well too, they've even nailed the name
-
-
Imagine voyager would've been a HP printer...
-
It's funny how the 4chan wojak maymay have gained normie acceptance. As we say; kek.
