So far I have seen no proof that they’re out there.

But imo, we will never see proof that they are not out there.

Did some clicking on that and found out that headcheese originated in...Scotland! And here I always thought we had the Germans to thank for that.

Well done though it's some good stuff. Mom would take a steer's head and a pig's head, me or another brother would cut them in half with a chain saw, and after they were cleaned out she'd boil both of them in a huge pot for a good 12 hours or so until the meat fell off the bones. She'd pick out the bones and season up the slurry, then simmer it until most of the liquid was gone, pour what was left into bread pans, and when cool we had loaves of really tasty meat. Better than you can buy anywhere.

Never heard it called "brawn" before though.

😟🤢🤮 Sorry. I've eaten head cheese before, but I've never had to endure the description of how it's made. I think I'll give it a pass in the future.

Just because we can't get there doesn't mean "they" can't get here. Imagine somebody saying you can't cross the ocean in a day in 1880? Only a short time later we can cross an ocean by jetliner easily in less the a day. We went from learning to fly in 1903 to landing on the moon in 1969 in just 66 years. Just imagine what others can do on other planets that are millions of years ahead of us. That is what people should consider.

If true, Bezos, Musk and Branson will be there to scope it out first....for the rest of us

The greatest ignorance is attacking something or someone that you know nothing about.

My guess is one word "water". According to the many experts every living thing needs water to survive. Maybe Earth is that proverbial oasis in the cosmos. Many dead planets are out there but Earth just might be a key to life for many things we just don't understand right now.

True, but if the laws of physics absolutely prevent FTL travel, then a million, billion or trillion years more advanced makes no difference. There would have to be ways to travel FTL or a way around it to make interstellar travel practical.

Why is it that only people with low IQ s were abducted?
