Top 10 Things Humans Do that Aliens Would Find Most Weird

What are the things we humans do that, to an extraterrestrial observer, would be downright strange? From our customs and habits, to our ways of entertainment, to our social structures, humans are a peculiar bunch indeed, and it's time we examine just how much.

Now, before we dive into our list, let's set the stage. Imagine for a moment, you're not of this world. You've traveled light years across the cosmos, seen countless star systems, maybe even interacted with other life forms. But then, you come upon this blue-green planet called Earth, and things start to get a bit...weird.

You see, humans, for all their intelligence and technological prowess, have some quirks that might just leave our interstellar visitors scratching their heads (or whatever they have in place of heads!). After all, we're a species that talks to our pets, celebrates birthdays by setting small fires atop a cake, and willingly leaps out of perfectly good airplanes for the sake of 'fun.' Yes, we admit it - we're a bit odd.

So, are you ready to explore the peculiarities of human behavior from an alien's perspective? There's no need to grab a telescope or a spacesuit for this journey. All you need is a sense of humor and a readiness to embrace the wonderfully weird world of humanity. Vote for the choices that you believe most deserve to be at the top of this list. Your input is essential in this interstellar exploration of our everyday oddities.
The Top Ten
1 Applaud

I never really thought about it before, but applauding is actually really weird. Why do we smack our palms together to show appreciation? Ah, whatever.

Actually, it's interesting that clapping itself means nothing. Aliens will definitely find it weird.

I'd like to see aliens react to humans doing human things. That would be hilarious.

2 Have Sex

It's shaped like a what now?

And don't most of these depend on the alien civilization?

3 Walk a Pet Dog

Imagine an alien witnessing you being dragged along by your dog and then seeing you pick up its mess. They would wonder who the master really is!

4 Dance
5 Speak Different Languages

If alien civilizations develop like ours, we'll probably have a lot more in common with them than we think.

It would just be alien to an alien.

6 Watch TV

A group of humans watching a group of humans in a box.

7 Believe In God

This is probably the strangest thing they could think of. They likely have their own beliefs, and when aliens and humans come together, we might both determine that there is no god.

8 Use a Eating Utensils

They're probably wondering why we look like we're trying to kill our food when it's already dead.

9 Listen to Music

Even other humans don't understand this.

What will aliens listen to? Metal?

10 Drive

"Ok, so this is a car. Like a spaceship on the ground?"

"Uh... sure. Well, we get in it and go places."

"What's that donut thingy?"

"That's a steering wheel."

"No buttons?"

"Well, we have those ones."

"They shoot lasers, right?"

"No... but they do make noise."

The Contenders
11 Call Aliens "Aliens"
12 Kiss

It is rather strange if you think about it. You and your partner connecting lips and tongues to exchange saliva as a gesture of love. Strange, yet oddly attractive.

13 Cry
14 Take a "Selfie"

Right, it's like, I just need to make sure I look like myself. I mean, what the heck.

Why are they so obsessed with themselves?

15 Masturbate
16 Get High
17 Wear Clothes
18 Pray
19 Use Money
20 Sleep
21 Watch Porn

They would wonder why humans like to watch other humans reproduce. It sounds strange if you put it like that.

22 Knock
23 Use Computers
24 Use the Toilet
25 Have a Gunfight
