Oh, I thought they meant the other kind of “sound” and I am like, that’s a lot of mass to send interstellar for a joke.
Mass?
A medical sound is a surgical steel rod used for “sounding” (ie, probing) parts of the human anatomy. More generally, a sound is any probe or pole used to test depth or similar properties; mapping the depth of a pond with a graduated pole is “sounding the pond”.
Ohhh, I thought you meant queefs by ‘the other sound’
Saw one whistle, once.
Did they add any context or is the idea that the aliens will figure put what the sound is supposed to mean?
Nope.
Isn’t this The 3 Body Problem?
Ok, who’s got the recording?
I’m sorry WHAT?
It’s real, chat.
Tau Ceti is only 12 ly away
1998 + 12 = 2010
So they’re like 15 years late replying to the pussy call. Either they are too old and slow or they have so much already they’re just too busy
“New phone, who dis.”
Or they got the signal and had no fucking clue what it was, like when we got that strange noise from space that happened just once and never again.
If you’re thinking of the “Wow” signal, it turned out to be a magnetar
Maybe aliens’ vaginas sounds like magnetars.
All joking aside, it took us almost 40 years to figure that out, the aliens have only had 30, and in the magnetars case we can use other celestial bodies to help figure that out. Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.
Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.
Gotta have a hobby 🤷🏻
I’d be happy to figure out an alien’s vagina from scratch, just for the record.
An invaginated magnetar.
Round trip time, dude. 3 years late.
per OP, signal reached T.C. in 1998 T.C. is ~12 ly away if they responded that year we’d have got the message in 1998 + 12 = 2010 that was 15 years ago
Ok, I was going to crack a joke about how this is a response to the vulva slit being removed from the depiction of the nude woman on the Pioneer plaque, but it literally is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque#Criticism
According to the memoirs of Robert S. Kraemer, however, the original design that was presented to NASA headquarters included a line which indicated the woman’s vulva,[11] and this line was erased as a condition for approval of the design by John Naugle, former head of NASA’s Office of Space Science and the agency’s former chief scientist.[11]
There have also been criticisms of the censorship of the female figure’s genitals. Scientist and artist Joe Davis protested the depiction with his Poetica Vaginal project wherein he used an MIT radar dish to transmit the recordings of a vaginal detector.[22]
TIL, hope that I somehow get to use the knowledge I learned from this thread in conversation in the physical world someday!
Make your own future! Go outside, tell a stranger this beautiful story!

(get thrown in jail)
So youre telling me that Aliens think that Barbie is anatomically correct… Jesus christ, we really are fucking weird when it comes to chicks.
So I learned the new word “invaginate” today and will now be using it in all the sexy talk I share with my wife.
I too will be using the word invaginate in all the sexy talk I share with your wife.
Best of luck in keeping your ability to invaginate anyone after you speak with her with such wooing words.
Yeah, I need a collection of vagina sounds for research purposes. Yes, they have to be ballerinas, and don’t skimp on the bare feet pics
- A freak
Not research, but artistic! And the article said the volunteers were unsolicited, so they were (presumably) happy to contribute to the cause!
Nah, just a man who knows what he wants
Became concerned
I’d put “hypothetical aliens listening to our radio transmissions won’t know what our vaginas sound like” preeeety far down my list of concerns but you do you, king
Might be the only thing that saves us though.
