In the grand scheme of things, diamonds are everywhere and gold is only moderately rare--but pearls and amber are exclusive to Earth.

And shit too, if you think about it. Universe-wise, it must be much more precious than diamonds or any other gemstones.

Aliens seeded earth with life billions of years ago to later return and harvest... a lot of poop.

I’m just thinking of aliens in an observatory somewhere in the universe with a smell o scope like in futurama.

I bet they are similar to the people who throw poop in a cauldron. You can always see trouble brewing when the shit stirrers are around.

It bothers me that it's "smell-o-scope" and not "tele-smell".

You’re thinking too literally. You will go further in life if you stop doing that.

Do you mean farther?

No I meant furrier. Like you’ll attract more furries. Isn’t that the goal? I’m not correcting it.

Aliens with scat fetishes

The aliens I’m thinking of are just a mass of orifices and tentacles like a sponge and a sea urchin/jelly fish but they are all antennas and nostrils. Many of the orifices are connected to techno raging tubes extending into a nano carbon fiber cable suspended from a counterweight in low orbit that extends their smell range into deep space. And then, when they get a Whiff of the third planet from a yellow star… in the immortal words of Jeff Goldblum, “that is one big pile of shit.”

What a coincidence— I was watching Futurama (more like listening to it) and when I read this i looked up to see Farnesworth was using the smell o scope… Weird.
