I searched "Handbook for alien dropped on Earth to live a human life?" and SE gave Wrong Planet.

WrongPlanet feels fitting, this is not my planet but I find myself living here and I need some directions.

I somehow associate the name with "wine planet". :D But anyway that explains why I always like to observe other people, how they do their everyday living. I'm extremely curious about stuff like how they watch TV, talk to each other, organize their stuff and decorate their spaces. When I visit someone I observe their home very carefully, like a detective. Sometimes I call a good looking person "a fine specimen". :D I must be an alien this whole time.

Hee hee! Just sitting back, sipping wine, watching people? You're my kind of alien.

Do you agree that complaining seems to play an important role in establishing social cohesion amongst our study objects? Maybe on uneven days this is Whine Planet

The planet is wrong because it belongs to NTs.
They made it wrong.
Ok but... the wrong planet is out there. This website isn't wrong, it was made for us :thinking_face:

I understood IsabellaLinton as saying that "WrongPlanet" means that Earth is an NT planet, made by NTs for NTs. It's the *wrong* planet for NDs to be on.
This website is made for NDs. If you think of NDs coming to this website, they should be coming to the *right* planet.
I noticed this "contradiction" on welcome posts. People are writing "Welcome to WP"
Well, the wrong planet is out there, right? They are already there. They, as an ND, are new to this website, for NDs. One should be welcoming them to the "Right Planet"
