Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson appears to think kissing — or as he describes it, “the simultaneous exchange of saliva” — would for some reason be “odd” to space aliens observing Earth:
Space aliens would surely think it odd that one way humans express affection is the simultaneous exchange of saliva.

So stupid. We hope if aliens do ever visit our planet, we choose someone other than Tyson to greet them lest the aliens decide to exterminate all of humanity after listening to him talk for a few minutes:

And why would the aliens think our reproduction process is “odd” in the first place? It’s science:

The primary form of communication for ants is vomiting in each other's mouth so aliens might not think it's that odd https://t.co/Lo8gbZ8EbZ

Why does he keep speaking for aliens and presuming that we are the weird ones? https://t.co/DWIa5AFIuU
