I haven't read the article. But looking at the photo, is the thesis that aliens look like space poop?

Glad I’m not the only one who saw that and immediately thought ‘haha that looks like a turd’.

It's about Oumuamua, a somewhat mysterious object that passed through the solar system very close to Earth, before seemingly changing direction of its own accord and accelerating back out of the solar system. One of the many recent possibly-alien events that have people excited lately. Scientific theory is that it was a long, thin asteroid, similar to a turd, that expelled gases once it was close enough to the sun that propelled it away. Our sensor data indicated Oumuamua was incredibly dense and rich in heavy metals, more than we could reasonably even detect, so it had scientists intrigued.

I can’t remember where I read it but I like the idea of comparing humanity to ants.

Imagine an ant hill, next to a bridge. The ant can’t even comprehend the bridge, what its for. To the ant it might as well just be more ground.

If we are the ant, what are we missing?
