AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the hypothetical scenario of securing a seat on a new planet as Earth faces doom. Participants debate the skills that might be prioritized for selection, suggesting that practical skills like smelting iron or building windmills could be favored over more advanced knowledge like computer programming or nuclear physics. The conversation humorously explores various survival skills and the absurdity of the selection process, including the idea of a committee making decisions without transparency. There are playful exchanges about personal attributes and contributions, such as cooking and animal husbandry, with some participants joking about their chances of being chosen based on their unique talents or antics. The thread also touches on the logistics of space travel, including the need for food and the potential chaos of confined living conditions. Overall, the tone is light-hearted and satirical, reflecting on human behavior in a crisis while engaging in whimsical banter about survival and selection criteria for a new world.

If you want a seat, you'd better run for office (politics)---they are the ones with the control, and, therefore they think they are the most important.


Doesn't anyone watch those 'death of the Earth by meteorite impact' movies?

Will there be any chocolate on board? If so I might consider the ladies ship if there aren't any doilies all over everything.
Of course there will be chocolate! Nobody is allowed on board unless they bring a chocolate supply. :approve:

Doilies?! No worries there! Do we look like the doiley...doilie...what is the singular of doilies anyway...types of women? I can't even spell the dang word!

Unfortunately for you, the people who can make computers and split atoms are probably the ones that will be able to make a breatable atmosphere on a different planet.

We thought about that MoonB has muted sheep that breath toxic gas and exhaust oxygen.

I'll climb into a giant stuffed panda teddy bear being delivered as going away gift to the ladies ship. Then I'll climb out and brainwash the ladies into a polygimy cult.

Now that is just down right creeping, you must not give them an inch or you will be a slave to them.
Just chuck them a square of chocolate every now and then and they will be happy.

If I get my own ship, I'll bring a DJ, a mime, a parrot, the rainman, a magician, a mind reader with crystal ball, a professional freestyle cook (you know that can do the tricks with spatulas and stuff), a full cast of actors to do plays, a chiropractor, a force of child workers to make clothing and shoes, a motivational speaker, some belly dancers, and a unicycler who can juggle fire. Don't ask why.
