Say, some alien just wanted to mess with us, but doesn’t invade, or even care enough to want to kill us, but seeing how everyone is on their phone all the time, they decided to just jam all our radios to watch us suffer. Their transmitting power they use is so powerful, its jamming signals are 1000 times stronger than the strongest radios we have, so there’s no way we can overpower the jamming.

What does the immediate aftermath look like?

What does it look like in the long term?

(Please don’t say “kill the aliens” they have tech so advanced, its impossible to do it)

    Depends exactly how “modern” you mean, i guess. It seems like whatever humans would be doing is whatever the invincible alien overlords would either: permit; or, don’t care enough to stop.

    Why would they come here (close enough) just to jam some radio? Is this an omicron perseiei VIII thing.
    I prefer programs with the tite “World’s ‘blankiest’ ‘blank’.”

      Think about how kids would be cruel and use a magnifying glass on a sunny day to bun ants. This is like that. But staight up killing humans wouldn’t be so entertaining, so they decided to mess with us. They see people so addicted to phones, phones use radios, so they decided to jam the radios. They don’t care if we live or die, but just want to see what happens. Our response to this would be entertainment to them
