You die and get reincarnated as alien species (keeping all your memories), and you found out that your species is planning to destroy Earth, what do you do?
I predict there's gonna be like 90% misanthropic comments lol
Depends how much time the hyperspace bypass saves.
And perhaps you can convince them to at least let the earthlings hear some lyics before the destruction!
I’ll take a slightly different angle.
Assuming that my new homeworld is inherently aggressive and conquest-oriented, a make the case to spare Earth for the time being. Instead, begin a program of infiltrating and integrating into human societies with the goal of influencing technical and social advancement to make them as aggressive and warlike as us. It would not be difficult to do given humanity’s natural proclivities. When the time is right, introduce ourselves, form an alliance, and use them as front-line cannon fodder for future conquests.
Tell them about zoo theory and that Earth would better serve us as a reality TV show. We don't even have to do anything, they're already broadcasting this whole shitshow!
But then they would have to replan the highway.
All that much less time to recite shitty poetry! Everyone wins!
Give them tips
I feel this strongly depends on which circles the alien grows.
For example: You find your species is going to extinct whales/pollute the seas/commit genocide in Gaza/etc. What are you able to do to prevent that?
Yeah I assume OP intended to imply that you have some kind of significant influence on the actions taken by the aliens.
A regular alien won't be able to do jackshit about it
You'd have to organise, protest, vote, zlorp, boycott ⟟⋏⊬⏃⏁ etc.
and you probably won't have much time
At least you'll know reincarnation is real
After they nuke earth you could go to a few alien maternity wards and interrogate every alien baby on the off chance one of them is someone from earth you know
or just do whatever their version of gooning is
Depends on the reason they (us?) have to destroy Earth. And is it Earth or humanity the target? If it's Earth there has to be a really good reason. If it's humanity... maybe it's the dark forest. But even in the dark forest scenario I'd try to make a case for humanity. After all I could be a bridge¹.
¹ I hope they don't burn bridges.
They are probably building a highway
Draw up a pot of whatever their equivalent of tea is, sit back, and watch, with a mixture of glee and sorrow.
You all are forgetting that cats live on this planet too!
I mean, kinda hard to say without context. Are these aliens even compassionate? How smart are they and what's the reason for blowing it up? etc.
If I can't argue how fucking stupid it is to destroy the entire planet, I might become a fervent earth-destroying zealot and undermine their efforts through my utter incompetence.
Since I am one of them now, well, hmmm....
Depends on what you mean by "destroy Earth".
If they actually wanted to physically destroy the entire Earth, I may have to do something to stop them, cuz I think the natural world is beautiful.
If they specifically wanted to destroy humanity, I'd go out of my way to help them, as that would actually help preserve the natural world and eliminate the threat of a violent species colonizing the galaxy.
"Reincarnated", so I'm fully one of them. I grew up in the culture, and their history is my history now.
I do nothing, I don't care about the past.
Hand me that illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator, will you?
"Damn, that's crazy. Anyway."
Depends. Are they building a hyperspatial express route?
It depends on why they want to destroy Earth, but honestly I'd probably just live my alien life and think that the human life I thought I had was some kind of weird déjà vu.
Infiltrate the project and jib the numbers so that they end up destroying Oirth instead.
Stupid Oirth. They deserve to be destroyed. That knew what they did.
On the opposite side imagine waking up tomorrow with full memories as an alien species, but knowing full well that parts of humanity are planning on their destruction.
You are still "just" you. If you tried to explain it people would probably just think you are crazy.
I feel like a "know your enemy" kind of role where you try and educate people about this other species existence and relate their experiences to each other and hopefully find a synergistic point
Join the army!
Give them all the intel I can remember to make the destruction more effective.
Easy, computer viruses are interchange so that. Then I'll use a Stargate to get home.
Wouldn't I be a baby? Like I get reincarnated and grow up with my earth memories and maybe keep them hidden and at some point when im adult they talk about destroying earth? There are a lot of ifs. I mean like why, by who, what power do I have to stop it or not?
Lead the attack.
Get really mad at them because why didn't they think of it sooner.
What can I do? I'm just one man. Why should they listen to me?
Correction. You're just one glorpdelorp
Argue with them.az.to why bother, humans are.killing eaxh other in enormous numbers aready through human stupidity and then theres climate change, pollution, resource depletion all coming like an asteroid to make it worse and they're so stupid and greedy they decided.to deny reality
Lets go to Betaleguse and hit the beach at planet smorf instead.
Can we save the axolotls before we destroy it?
Tell them to wait and save resources, earthlings are doing a great job destroying themselves.
It does say "destory earth" not humanity, though. And we're not making a dent there.
Gotta make room for that intergalactic freeway.
We're also doing a good job destroying the planet, at least from the stance of making it inhospitable for life. Will life survive? Yes. Because "life, err, finds a way". But it sure as hell won't be because of the efforts of the most powerful and influential humans.
Probably the best answer that we are going to see
