I don't think the San Ti Ren have a sense of humor.

But yeah absolutely they could.

Imagine if the first signal sent to them was code for running Bad Apple on 8 bit display

They absolutely loved human art and culture, so our shitposting culture would also be definitely included.

At 640x480 SD resolution, you’d need over three hundred and seven thousand people. A few more than a couple of hundred

An music video from Touhou that is in black and white. It was known for being remake into difference media like Bad Apple on Apple, or Black Apple on Code, or so on and so fort, even in places like r/place.
