If you were tasked with putting together a message to send to space aliens, with the only restriction that the message had to be under 4GB, what would you send?

I would first find some big names from the demo scene and say “I am not worthy, let these folks do it” and anyone who disagreed would have their frontal lobes severed or something.

This, in its original form, was 4kb.

So, none of us are worthy. Unless one of you is on Lemmy.

Edit: this one is 1kb lmao. None of us are worthy.

Can you tell me a little more about these? What is the “demo scene,” how were they made, and why were they made?

It’s as rad as it could possibly be.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if anyone from that scene lurks on lemmy.
