Bad: aliens that insist upon referring to human women as “feeeeemales”.
Good: aliens that insist upon dividing humans into binary categories, but the binary in question is based on something we’d regard as trivial and bizarre.

Just to screw with us they refer to have designated half the population as “edible” and the other half is “inedible.”
No intention of eating anyone, they just like how uncomfortable it makes everyone.
Even better: the aliens all agree on who is edible and who is inedible, but the humans have no idea what the criteria is
Even better: there is no criteria, the Aliens just keep a running list of whenever one member designated a human as edible or not. People are baffled because the selection appears random yet all the aliens are up to date, so there must be SOMETHJNG
I love this because it implies the aliens possess either (1) a universal hive mind or (2) an intergalactic group chat dedicated to fucking with humanity
“Hey guys Steve Johnson just laughed at my antennae he’s edible ok?”
“Yum yum Steve ribs”
cool cool cool but some people – definitely the younger generations – would for sure take offense if they weren’t deemed edible
like ‘you wanna eat steve but not me? what the fuck did I do’
See this is how collective action works. They can’t conquer us if we refuse to be divided.
I hate how they misconstrued this as “an effort to get out of class” instead of the beautiful act of solidarity that it is. Believe it or not a lot of kids actually like school and those kids did this not to get out of class but to protest and show just how ridiculous this is.
