Ever seen eight(ish) year old boys messing with an anthill? Magnifying glass, rubber bands, drips of dish soap, and so on.

Imma gonna guess a star-travel-capable civilization's equivalent juvenile behavior is brewing up creatures like the ones in that YouTube vid and turning them loose on random planets just to watch the fun.

(After all, we KNOW they found Earth because of the pyramids, crop circles, abductions, and Mysterious Lights in the Sky, right? Hell, there's so much evidence an actual museum was built in Roswell, NM to hold it all.)

I mean, Christians used to burn people alive for this. So a max of three years in prison could be said to be progress, I suppose.

Countries and their borders are a colonial imposition on Africa. But in parts of Africa, the cultures that inhabit it have a strong belief in witchcraft and its effects. More developed countries also have their established magical beliefs, but we're just used to them.
But very few countries outside of Africa have to lock up albino people so others dont use their bones as medicine. Very few countries go beyond praying for good health.
When I spent time in East Africa us white people could sell our hair, our fingernail clippings, or any other "body part" at the "medicine" shops.
Anything different or rare can be used as medicine.
In the West I've only seen prayer and an occasional burning of sage.

I mean Westerners can absolutely get up to magick. There's a local shop near my house, that, as a geology student I would sometimes go to buy mineral samples, rocks, crystals. ALL kinds would show up in there, generally old ladies of all stripes. Occasionally middle aged women who let their elementary school kids smoke weed, looking to repell a hex or seek astrological meaning of their dreams.... That's more soft mid magick. There are dudes out there that do higher stuff.

But again, they aren't murdering disabled people to grind their bones into medicine. Kinda not the same thing.
My wifes friend owns a hippie crystal/incense shop. Her and her customers are the calmest and least dangerous people around.

Hm.

At its current velocity, the "interstellar spaceship" would need 471,698 years to travel to the nearest star from where it is right now (not counting the Sun, of course).

The nearest star "behind it"---meaning the direction it came from---is several billion years away.

Those are some mighty long-lived ETs, rat thar...

PS --- The "radio telescope" shown in the video is actually the Duga radar station in the old Soviet Union, built to detect low-flying incoming bombers in the Cold War days not stars and related astral stuff, and hasn't been used for anything but scrap metal since 1989.

Which of course makes you wonder what other information in that video is bullshit.

Well, this is, in my humble opinion, an egregious loophole begging to be exploited to the Nth degree.

I think I know what I'm doing for my next birthday! Or even better, as a way to get out of the next family obligation.
Don't worry, your First Amendment right to utter spells is safe. Casting them, however, can lead to assault charges.

I can’t believe you just used the “N” word.

On a brighter note we may have first contact sooner than you'd think, due to the growing interest in mining asteroids for precious minerals.
