Shit found on Venus

OP, are you a headline writer over at The New Yorker?

Venush.

I would first like to thank my god, Jehovah.

Don't call me shit.

We need to get over the fact that "life" out there does not necessarily look like us or be something known to exist on Earth.

It's inhabited by a race of giant tennis players.

R5, there are billions of galaxies out there, so I don't doubt there is fully-formed life in at least one of them.

The real question here is if these alien life forms want to come here and take our jobs? 😡

THEY TOOK EHR JERBS!

R7, I was not necessarily saying there was NOT lifeforms like us out there, more that there may be other lifeforms not similar to what is found on Earth - or in environments not like ours.

Isn't the temperature there like 850 F?

Personally, even if scientists confirm that there are microbes in the Venusian atmosphere, I will still feel very much alone in the Universe.

[quote] Recognizable or not, any Venusian life would probably smell bad. Phosphine is so toxic that it has been used as a chemical agent in warfare and by terrorist groups. “We’ve evolved to think that toxic things smell bad,” Sousa-Silva said, adding that any Venusian beings might be hardwired to feel the same way. Venusian life “would smell disgusting [to us], but we would be repulsive to them,” she said.

Could make for some interesting kink.

Verifcatia of shit?

So Venusian balls do not smell like freshly baked bread?

Whew - I didn't want to have to take my earrings off and whoop some ass.

Do they look like Miss Ava Gardner?

There's an intoxicating mix of intelligence and stupidity on this thread.

It would also be cool if they sang like Miss Janet Blair!

Je suis Venusian.

I am sorry r12 that the Datalounge momentarily forgot that you are the center of the universe.

POINT. [whoosh!] r21’s head POINT

My high school friend and I would sing it:

She's Venus with no arms

Mona Lisa with a funny smile

And I love her out of pity...

I think the longest an Earth lander has survived on Venus was about two hours. Whatever may be there ha to be able to cope with 90 atmospheres of pressure and constant heat of hundreds of degrees. Not to mention sulfuric acid rain.

Venus was a lot more fun when scientists told us to expect dinosaurs there.

Datalounge in a nutshell.

Venusian lives matter.

[quote]Isn't the temperature there like 850 F?

only on the surface. High in the atmosphere the air pressure is much lower and temperatures much cooler. In fact humans could probably survive there - provided an air supply and protection from sulphuric acid....

"Isn't the temperature there like 850 F?"

Yes, but it's a dry heat.

But it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

Listen, it wasn't my best song. I get it.

Perfect for baking cookies! Yay! *hands clapping*

R28, lol. But it's not a dry heat. Venus has a strong greenhouse effect, so it probably feels more like 8 Ft. Lauderdales in the middle of August.

What was her name?

I liketheory I read in an old sci-fi story... that the Venusians are slowly infiltrating Earth and changing our climate to match their tastes.

That'd explain a lot, right?

Venusian fashion

Right r27. The upper atmosphere of Venus is similar to Earth, and that's where this gas was detected. Easy to see how there could be microorganisms surviving at high altitudes.

The was Zsa Zsa's planet!

Build that space wall!!! And get Venus to pay for it!

Do Venusians also look like the Quaker Oats guy?

(If you don’t get it, consider yourself lucky.)

Don't confuse Venusians with their close relatives the Serenites who are known to become belligerent, verbally abusive, and the females are commonly indistinguishable from the males.

Scott Manley talks about this (he's amazing, btw).

Venus will develop life Long after Earth dies and will have it’s time in the Goldilocks zone before it too eventually gets devoured by the sun and the next planet gets its turn.

Venus is closer to the sun than Earth is, R42.

So somebody farted on Venus?

This is bullshit.

We already know there is live INSIDE Venus.
