What would realistically happen if a 500-miles wide alien mothership approached the Earth and started dropping city-sized destroyers over the world's major cities?
How would mankind react to this?
They wouldn't need to drop those destroyers. They would just fall and crash into earth due to gravity mate.

rabid Facebook updates of "not all aliens" just before the skin melts off thier bones.
Tell them we left the EU and they'd leave us alone, enjoy getting cucked by JAL'MAL and his big green alien cock
I would sit home playing my favorite video games
America & Russia & GB would join up and relive a good time like WW2. They would push the babbys in EU to wake up.
During this we would nuke the shit out the alien scum but also take over China and maybe Europe because lol Europe.
The entire Southern Hemisphere wouldn't be able to do anything since they're all useless.
That's probably it.
The dumbfuck jews over at the EU would find a way to make money off of it by having everybody in the world worship it. Then the aliens wipe us the fuck out and replace us with robots

Nothing like Independence Day.
If we attack them, they win.
Humanity would try to fight back, but if the aliens have the technology to travel to Earth with a full invasion armada, there is no way our technology would be able to repel them. Nuclear weapons would be one of our most useful weapons, I'd imagine. Humanity would be fucked, and we'd probably be driven into extinction.
>>78529442
We must develop more efficient delivery systems for nuclear weapons. It's our only way to counter a potential alien threat.
I'd go around finding every leftshit I could find and yell at them that they should accept the aliens into their countries because they just want a better place to live.
>>78526537
I would throw a Chinese guy towards it. By close proximity he would reverse engineer the ship. Patent the shit out of it. Send a Jewish lawyer with a patent breach to sue them for space gold. Aliens go bankrupt by master jew. Give up. Jew claims victory.
realistically such large objects would fuck up the earth's orbit just by being close to it and in hand cause extinction level weather patterns

>>78529825
The actual chances of us finding aliens within our lifetime is VERY small. If we did find aliens, they will most likely not be sentient. They'll probably be a bacterium or micro-organism that can't think for itself.

Our whole species could travel to Alpha centauri in human lifetimes.
We just don't do it because of pesky things like "money" and "government".
It isn't hard to travel in space.
It is just horribly costly.
Without concerns like money, we could do it easily.
The whole world will just have to become socialist or communist.
Work, get food and water, do more work in your tiny commieblock which are now mass-3D-printed and stacked across the world.
You can build a massive space ship.
Discrete, air-locked sections just in case the unfortunate happens and a tiny meteor slaps in to the ship at 10k m/h
Artificial gravity is easily done via rotating sections.
There is an equation for the minimum size to negate the rotational effects of it. (some triple digit meters if I remember correct)
We could use the oceans as a fusion source to point a massive laser at the ship to fire it in whatever direction we want.
We won't. Not unless aliens actually do attack, or our solar system becomes shit and dies or something.
The concept of money as a driving force needs to die before we can do that.
Aliens or space mining is the only thing that will give us that.
>>78526537
an awful lot of rape, pillaging, and bludgeoning Muslims to death I think
>>78526537
the only reason i could see this happening is they view us as an existential threat where far in the future we may develop to a similar level and challenge them, so they come over to wipe us out without wiping out the bio diversity of the planet. in which case their obvious technological superiority means that we are royally fucked and our reaction is rather irrelevant to the impending fisting humanity is about to take.
>>78534796
>It isn't hard to travel in space. It is just horribly costly.
Cost is a measure of difficulty, in fact.
If an alien race has somehow mastered ftl and came to us with the sole intention of kicking our heads in, there's nothing we could do about it. They'd probably have anti-missile defenses since it's a warship, so launching nukes (our only decent option) is probably out of the question. After that fails, the aliens would probably laugh at us. Then we'd probably burn under a rain of plasma and fire, with no survivors.
>>78536045
Not to mention, our nukes won't probably reach any orbit other than LEO. But in fact if they arrive on a 500 mile long spaceship, we are fucked by the sheer difference in our technological and manufacturing capabilities, nukes or no nukes.
>>78535255
Without cost it isn't difficult.
That is what I am saying.
In a "end of world scenario", that goes out the window.
It won't be some happy world where humans are all holding hands, hippy-style, but for the most part, humans will work towards getting off this shithole if shit hit the fan.
Money is just a driving force.
It can easily be replaced by something else given it is disastrous or more beneficial.
>>78528392
Trudeau, is that you?
like niggers with spears desu, we would be fucked
>>78536045
Why assume FTL?
Generation ships are a possibility.
The larger your ship, the easier it is.
Trying to regulate small environments is harder than larger ones since large ones regulate themselves.
A species could reach us at less than our technology if they had to flee their dying planetary system in a hurry.

>>78536409
Money is not just a driving force, it is an equivalent of people's efforts. If something costs a lot of money, it means that it takes a work of lots of people to produce or achieve. And if the estimated amount of money is orders higher than the size of the Earth's economy, that's a sign that everyone's combined efforts won't be enough to achieve a desired result in reasonable time, war or no war.

>>78526537
If a alien species had the ability to go through space - possibly through millions of lightyears since we don't know of any other life, there's nothing we could do. They would literally purge us out of existence.
Doubt a alien species capable of that would invade us through, they would be so advanced they'd have no benefit to invading us. Humans would probably start shit.
>>78526537

>>78536045
>plasma
No, it would be kinetic bombardment, most likely.
A war between humans and aliens would go like this:
1. aliens approach, begin dropping rods over military bases and cities
2. humans counter-attack with nukes
3. most get shot down, some may hit the targets
4. human casualties quickly rise, alien casualties are low
5. all military installations and potential threats to the aliens are destroyed
6. ground invasion by highly mechanized alien force
7. guerrilla warfare ensues, aliens casualties rise
8. aliens occupy the planet/take what they need
9. remaining humans scatter and pose no more threat to the aliens
Our only deterrence is to improve our missile technology and mass produce nuclear weapons. Railguns are ineffective from the ground and anti-matter bombs are impossible to manufacture.

You can pay people in food and resources, you know.
There are entire nations than live without a care in the world for money.
They are referred to as "third world shitholes", even when they have a quality of life higher than most average American and Europeans.
But hey, let's just forget than 3.5 billion strong group of people and focus on those poor African cunts all starving to death, because obviously that is indicative of the lives of those 3.5 billion others.
Then you look at China. Most billionaires on the planet despite their currency.
"but it's a shit commieblock ridden hellhole", said everyone reading stupid news sites.
China is fucking great. There is a billion chinese people with a better life than ME and I live in the UK.
C A P I T A L I S M. Making sense since never.
MUH GDPs.
The global economy is so retarded. As are its preachers.
>>78537653
>There is a billion chinese people with a better life than ME and I live in the UK.
Oh, you have no idea about the world. I see. No wonder you are, apparently, an anti-capitalist, since you don't understand how the economy works. The discussion is pointless then.
London would be pretty safe since it's no longer able to be considered a major city.

literally stop intellectual masturbation you all bunch of faggots
>>78538075
Also, I am not an anti-capitalist.
It has its purposes.
But its preachers that think IT IS THE ONE AND ONLY WAY are fucking delusional.
More than half the world don't depend on money for fucking anything and aren't even remotely living in shitty conditions or starving or dying all over the place with 15 illnesses a second.
Money is just used to make things "easier" to trade.
That was its only purpose. To make things standard and easier to abstract.
It has gone too far in the "developed world".
This is not what money was supposed to be.
The world was not supposed to end up like this.
This is called abuse.
Unregulated markets are always abusive.
See America.
Pure capitalism is as broken as pure communism as is pure socialism as is any other system.
>>78526537
Libcucks would just blame white men again.
>>78537192
more likely
1. aliens approach and stay hidden
2. aliens arming shit 3rd-world country and terrorist organisations with the cover of being humans
3. WWIII ensue, dividing major countries military forces
4. release artificial virus causing highest death toll since black plague
5. blame put on terrorists
6. Aliens land near every major cities and appear as savior, providing free vaccins
7. Gov can't stop them, people want to stay alive
8. More and more people choose to live next to aliens motherships
10. Vaccin causes sterility
11. Remaining human put in concentrations camp with no guards, just parked as animal until they rot away
12. Aliens inherit a human-free Earth
A simple virus would do the job in both sides. Using raw matérials to fight at this scale is literally a stone age state of mind.

The US military has plans for this sort of thing.
The plan in this case, if peace isn't an option, is to launch everything we have in the hope that the aliens decide it isn't worth it.
Kinda like trying to gouge a shark in the eyes or something to that effect.
Aliens would be BTFO by ICBMs. All of us would die.

Oh cool you have any links to documents proving this nonsense you just typed? No? Hmm really makes you think!
I thought about this week ago. If armies don't have homing ICBMs to nuke them, we'd be fucked. Can they be targeted on a moving object in orbit or is their guidance all about preset coordinates on Earth?

lol
>>78549458
thats the speech that made Alan Moore write Watchmen
we're fucked.
but, the same way europeans now don't go and try to conquer indigenous tribes in amazonas or new guinea.
for most of aliens if they exist, we're a primitive planet and It seems there's a pact of no agression towards developing worlds.
but also, if you master space travel you literally have post scarcity and all the economic pressure to conquer and fight wars are gone.
but also, if you mean /x/ shit, then ayy lmaos don't conquer us but they control us using human puppets.
but it seems, acording to x shit, that there are good races that works as police in the galaxy (federation of light).
