Humans have created countless inventions that shape our lives in amazing ways. Some are practical, some are revolutionary, and some are simply fascinating. But if aliens suddenly appeared, which invention would best represent us?

DJT....and I would hope they would take him back with them and probe him and never let him come back to planet Earth again.

I would curate a display of human inventions that were designed for peaceful purposes but repurposed as weapons, and warn them to be very careful what technology they share with us, because we *will* make a weapon out of it. It's what we do.

Dogs. Dogs are humans' greatest invention.

I would show them the coffee maker and how to work it.
They will never be the same.

I'd show them the internet, and suggest they go away, because humans are crazy, and really pretty evil on a planetary scale. There's no way human/alien interaction doesn't turn out badly for humans. If the aliens aren't evil, humans will use aliens, alien tech, or the presence of aliens to be evil to other humans anyway.

The pop corn machine! And I would serve them a big bowl with lots of butter and salt!

Well, I would organize a very Finnish day for them and introduce the technology that uses electrical energy to produce bacterial mass from carbon dioxide, which can be used as nutritional protein. Then I would take them to the sauna, whip them with birch branches and give them alcohol to drink. Hopefully I won't start a war of the worlds or have to dig graves behind the sauna.

Sliced bread.
But really, don't you think the warning has gone out among alien races that are intelligent enough to be travelling around the universe that they should lower their shields, lock their hatches, and speed right past this planet for their own safety and sanity?

Pinball machines. I don't know why, I just think they'd have fun with them.

That there are humans who do actually care about what's true. Critical thinking, as an exercise, is perhaps our most important (and neglected) creation.

Probably something super incredible that we just created. Maybe either Google's or Microsoft's quantum computer would show them that we're on our way to advancing civilization. Also I might show them a GPU or CPU die plus some close-ups to show how tiny we can make things lol.

As an Alien Stage fan, I would show them music. (I am EVIL)
This truly will be our Mizisua
