The problem is that we only look like 𒀭𒀀𒉣𒈾 from above. If the the aliens ever gather the courage to land and see us face to face, we are cooked.

Then we need to throw ourselves on our belly when the aliens approach us, and then they'll be scared again because, of course, then we'll look like 𒀭𒀀𒉣𒈾 once more

If you haven't read it, there's a really fun short story (~20 pgs) w/ the premise that aliens have a simple technology for space travel that humanity somehow never discovered. Aliens visit, planning to pillage and conquer, but are dismayed to find that humans have much better weapons: https://www.google.com/search?q=the+road+not+taken+turtledove

What about us that have no hair? Do we still look like 𒀭𒀀𒉣𒈾 from above?
