The ability to send a telepathic message to everyone on earth may seem mighty tempting, but what would you actually say?
Would you tell people to be kind? Try to bring an end to war? Play a giant prank on the whole of humanity?
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
Redditor HarshJShinde asked:
“If you could telepathically say something that all 7.8 Billion people on earth could hear at once what would it be?”
No Escape
“WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CAR’S EXTENDED WARRANTY”
–rondoctor
“I always tell them I don’t have a car. Then they try to sell me life insurance lmao”
“The next time they try to sell me life insurance, I’m gonna ask them if they’re threatening me.”
–jcw10489
“Brah my car is 29 years old and they call me every week from a new number.”
–Redditor
“I literally just got 2 of those calls back to back within 5 minutes. And I can’t even not answer them since I have to take calls from work. It’s a pain in the ass to get any sleep.”
–SugoiBakaMatt
“Or the ‘IRS is going to press charges’ or whatever those calls are. Best part is, 95% of the world will have no idea what the IRS is, or have a very different interpretation.”
–boot2skull
“HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, MY CAR IS 18 YEARS OLD AND I BOUGHT IT FROM SOME SKETCHY DUDE THAT BARELY SPOKE ENGLISH AND DIDN’T SIGN THE TITLE. IT DOESN’T HAVE A WARRANTY.”

Countdown To…?
“A countdown, starting at a decently high number… Let’s say 255. It would be in a monotone, androgynous voice, and everyone would hear it in their own language.”
“The countdown would stop at 6.”

The Most Annoying Part Of YouTube
“‘According to my YouTube statistics, only a small percentage of my viewers are actually subscribed. So if you end up liking this video, please subscribe. It’s free, and you can always unsubscribe later. Also, there’s been a YouTube glitch that’s been going around that makes you unsubscribe randomly, so if you could just scroll down and check if you’re subscribed, it would help me out a lot. With that out of the way, let’s get on with the video.’”

“That’ll get the message across.”
–The_darter
Whoops
“Anything telepathic transmitted to every living human being on Earth without explanation would immediately be taken as the voice of God by the majority I’m sure.”
“Therefore, the only thing I’d say would be something along the lines of, ‘Whoops… sorry.’”
“EDIT: If, perhaps, this scenario was ongoing and the [mic] was left hot, I would probably maintain silence punctuated with a long series of well-timed Colin Robinson style annoying coughs that just… linger forever in the background of your mind.”
–Redditor
“‘Hey uhhh… I don’t usually do this but I just wanted to tell you all I’m sorry for… well you’ll see.’”

Special Containment Procedures
“The following is a message composed via consensus of the O5 Council.”
“For those who are not currently aware of our existence, we represent the organization known as the SCP Foundation. Our previous mission centered around the containment and study of anomalous objects, entities and other assorted phenomena. This mission was the focus of our organization for more than one-hundred years.”
“Due to circumstances outside of our control, this directive has now changed. Our new mission will be the extermination of the human race.”
“There will be no further communication.”
–thatguysmellsalot
“Oh, sh*t, I like this one. Not even just a general ‘Hi, we exist’ but an excerpt from one of the SCP stories. I believe it’s called ‘A spectator at the end of the world’ or something similar.”

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish
“People of Earth, your attention, please. This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.”
–botchman
“There’s no point in acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department on Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.”
–Stompya
“What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? For heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.”
–Luxray1000
Whatever you would choose to say, everyone can agree this would be a world-altering event.
Choose wisely.
