Top 15 travel destinations on Earth, written by an alien for future ET tourists

Original prompt: Top 10 travel destinations on Earth, written by an alien for future ET tourists

  1. Antarctica: A spot so exclusive, very few humans even go there
  2. The Great Pyramids of Giza: Some humans, oddly enough, believe we made them
  3. Studios in Hollywood: Humans place a lot of value in their "movies" and "television" so see where it gets made!
  4. Venice: Soon to be the next Atlantis (don't tell the humans about that city though)
  5. The Mariana Trench: Visit the deepest spot on this planet. Humans know so little about the ocean that this is truly a chance to be daring on a foreign planet
  6. Mount Everest: The highest point on this planet, well worth the visit. Plus it's also a graveyard if you think about it and are into that sort of thing
  7. Göbekli Tepe: This is believed to be the oldest surviving building on the planet
  8. Bingham Canyon Mine: I know, I know, this is all over the posters for Earth because we can see it from space, but it really is beautiful and worth a trip
  9. La Brea Tar Pits: You can seethe creatures that we first saw when we spotted Earth
  10. The tablets displaying the Epic of Gilgamesh: This is the earliest surviving notable literature and the second oldest religious text on Earth. Some believe it is still a key text to the creatures called humans
  11. Najaf cemetery in Iraq: This is the largest cemetary on Earth. You can learn so much about a species by how they treat their dead
  12. Tokyo: Want to see a lot of humans rushing about in an urban habitat? This is your place as it is the most populated urban center in the world
  13. Greenland: Want to see more of Earth's nature and avoid humans? Visit the most sparsely populated country on Earth
  14. Brazil: Want to see a lot of kinds of Earth's flora and fauna? Hit up the most ecologically diverse country on the planet
  15. Dolní Věstonice: Want to know more about the strange creatures called Humans? Visit the oldest permanent human settlement that has ever been found

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
