If your toaster is automatic beyond belief, you should be in awe but not afraid, for this alien technology bestowed upon us by the ancients is benevolent and incorruptible.
But a modern toaster? That could kill you in your sleep!
So you're basically saying it's a cosmic entity from galaxies away that has been lurking for aeons in the empty shadows of space, thirsting for sentient life, and it has been attracted in our vicinity by our foolish experiments, gotcha.
It's just a creative way to express a fantasy, in actual fact circuits left running that long in outter space that has random electron radiation passing through it is bound to degrade over time...
Call me when I don't have to go to work the next day, until then I'm too poor to care about alien messages. Come here and solve my problems or shut up.
Yes, ram has little tiny switches that flip horizontal or vertical, to reflect a 1 or 0, and those can wear down over time. Crappy ram dies in a few years or less, some last for decades.
See, the truth is, Voyager doesn't exist anymore, it hit the edge of our universe and it's the aliens responding, trying to learn our programming language. That's why it's garbled right now.
just release the voyager technobabble to the internet, some space and comp sci nerd somewhere, or 300, because realistically, it's going to be a bunch of people will decode it and figure out exactly what the hardware problem is. Within a few months.
of course nasa figures it out, i would venture to say it's probably the being in space for the period of about 50 years aspect of it, that had something to do with it.
There is NO brain inside voyager 1 that will be turned back into a normal human by an alien race and then come up with a fairy tale that really is a coded message that surreptitiously describes advanced alien technology though symbolism.
Oh I know. I wasn’t sure if this was a bad Facebook meme originally posted by some conspiracy theory lunatic that takes this seriously, or was lifted and posted here ironically, which seems to be the case.
That thing literally has less intelligence than your toaster, so let's not get overly agitated, shall we?
So you're saying I should be more frightened of my toaster.
He's definitely up to something.
Brave little guy
Maybe I should take a bath with a Mariner Jupiter-Saturn Deep Space Probe instead?
Who knows when it'll decide controlled fire isn't enough anymore
Only if it goes to space. It won't become sentient in your kitchen.
Clearly, you've never seen me attempt to cook..

Query: Can I fuck the archeotech toaster?
Yes.
Better query: Should you?
Statement: I must for the Omnisiah wills it.
Love technology connections

I've put you down as the first blood sacrifice.
Don't mind if I do 🥰
Alastair Reynolds fan, too?

A waffle man!
Might’ve changed our minds in the meantime…
Ahaha
Beat me to it
Obligatory Talkie Toaster.
Playing elite dangerous made me realize how relatively close Voyager still is and will be for millenia to come. It's hardly in the "depts of space"
It's still significantly closer than Hutton Orbital.
lmao we should just start measuring distances in reference to Hutton Orbital
I flew all the way out there and couldn't even land at the station because my ship was too large. Fml
What a waste. If you landed, you could have had a free Anaconda LOL
Really? I have it on good authority that an Anaconda can land there...

Medium pad
The large pad is a secret
Don't make me fire the game up and make the trip again! Lol
Relatively close compared to star systems? Yeah. Relatively close compared to planets? No
Voyager just needs Fuel Rats
At first I thought you meant Star Trek Voyager. Fits too.
Have you guys considered the possibility that an intelligence intercepted the probe and are sending responses through it.
Not until you made this comment...now I can't un-consider it.
This makes sense once you accept that Oumuamua was a corpolite
Call me when I don't have to go to work the next day, until then I'm too poor to care about alien messages. Come here and solve my problems or shut up.
... Is it working?
The Eldritchen horrors that we saw are not the reason that... uh I mean, there is no such thing as... uh I mean it was a technical glitch, I swear!
The adjective you're looking for is "Eldritchenishese".
The Eldritch horrors beyond comprehension are nothing compared to the combined power of a trench shotgun wielding maniac and a monster fucker.
How do we know though that that is not how they calmly & casually just say "hello" in their world? :-P
Literally a bad memory chip, something completely normal with PCs on earth too. Spooky.
It lasted almost 50 years and you say "something completely normal"?
Yes, ram has little tiny switches that flip horizontal or vertical, to reflect a 1 or 0, and those can wear down over time. Crappy ram dies in a few years or less, some last for decades.
Nah dude, the void stared back, the void stared back. The probe got probed man. That Nichey guy prophesied all this.
See, the truth is, Voyager doesn't exist anymore, it hit the edge of our universe and it's the aliens responding, trying to learn our programming language. That's why it's garbled right now.
That's false. Voyager ceased to exist the moment it was launched off god's beautiful green flat earth.
There are 50+ year old computers running on earth too
Some of them in systems that may just shock and irradiate you.
Unprecedented yet normal 🤷🏻♀️
Space horror enthusiasts offer an alternate theory...
It saw the Squamous Sun.

NASA figured it out recently. A particular piece of memory became corrupted for some reason. They're developing a workaround.
of course nasa figures it out, i would venture to say it's probably the being in space for the period of about 50 years aspect of it, that had something to do with it.
Conspiracy theory speedrun any%
fuck yeah, here we come!
V'ger
What movie/tv show is this from?
The first Star Trek movie back in the 70s. It also gave us disco suit McCoy.
Fun fact: It was almost the second Star Trek TV series.
Less fun fact: Patton Oswalt hates it because he is a Berman level nerd.
There is NO brain inside voyager 1 that will be turned back into a normal human by an alien race and then come up with a fairy tale that really is a coded message that surreptitiously describes advanced alien technology though symbolism.
Nothing it can't see anymore the cameras got turned off along time ago
It doesn't need cameras to see the terrifying existential horrors that penetrate its memory banks.
Same
It's fine, it just uses it's sensetive barbels to scour deep space for morsels of data

Quite a terrific cube you've got there
I would imagine there is enough cosmic radiation outside our heliosphere to easily fry silicon components from that time period
Ok... I don't care about spoilers, if we are getting "cosmic horror" in the future seasons of "planet earth 20**" just let me know now.
when aliens, say it is noise
It gazed upon infinity and found it lacking
Marv, pull up SCP-2669 please.
It's the start of that one TNG episode.
first star trek movie would fit well too, they've even nailed the name
There is nothing more eldritch than cosmic rays.
Corruption on computing technology is nothing new and will probably always exist.
Imagine voyager would've been a HP printer...
It's funny how the 4chan wojak maymay have gained normie acceptance. As we say; kek.
ROFL! People actually believe this? This isn’t satire?
Do you understand the concept of a meme?
I meant the person who made the meme. Not the people in the comments. Not all memes are parody you know.
OP is like one of the most active memers around. From all I've gathered about them, it's a joke
Oh I know. I wasn’t sure if this was a bad Facebook meme originally posted by some conspiracy theory lunatic that takes this seriously, or was lifted and posted here ironically, which seems to be the case.
The joke is that is funny to think about the hypothetical situation that a space probe is acting weird because it has an existential crisis
