#microfiction &quot;People of earth, please remain calm. Your generals, billionaires and other leaders are quite safe. We&#39;re testing them for psychopathy, and we&#39;ll return those that are mentally stable once they&#39;ve all worked out a plan for the planet. We&#39;ve disabled your nuclear weapons, and we would advise all armies to retreat to within their own borders. We&#39;ll only ask once. If any of you are in need of help, please post on theadultsarehere.com, and we&#39;ll get back to you as soon as possible.&quot;

#microfiction "A lot of you on earth appear to be submitting requests for help written by one of your 'AI' programs. If you want to do this, you don't have to submit the request at all! Just roll one of your six-sided dice and refer to the following table for the answer: 1: that doesn't make sense. 2: no. 3: please provide more information. 4: I understand, but that wouldn't help him. 5: we'd need a genetic scan of your grandparents. 6: roll again twice.

@fishidwardrobe These sorts of fantasies remind me of the Ghost Dance movement. In the face of our imminent doom and our powerlessness to stop it, we retreat into fantasies of being saved by some other-worldly power.
