Say, some alien just wanted to mess with us, but doesn’t invade, or even care enough to want to kill us, but seeing how everyone is on their phone all the time, they decided to just jam all our radios to watch us suffer. Their transmitting power they use is so powerful, its jamming signals are 1000 times stronger than the strongest radios we have, so there’s no way we can overpower the jamming.

What does the immediate aftermath look like?

What does it look like in the long term?

(Please don’t say “kill the aliens” they have tech so advanced, its impossible to do it)

    No we wouldn’t, there’s a documentary about this kind of thing. We’d send a super-talented pilot and the World’s greatest hacker (who no one listened to). And they would fly into the Alien ship and the hacker would hack it and it would blow up.

      there’s a documentary about this

      I see.

      Is it the one where the world class hero asks the pilot “When we start our attack flight right through the sun, isn’t it going to be rather hot there?” and the talented pilot explains “No, stupid, don’t you know we are going at night?”

        I don’t think it’s that one, though that pilot is a pretty smart fella!

        It’s this one…

        The smart guy: You really think you can fly that thing?

        The pilot: You really think you can do all that bullshit you just said?
