Any media in any format, sequels not included.
Imagine being the first human to Rick Roll another species.
My neighbor’s dog rolls his eyes at you
my good answer is the wikipedia page for human

We’ve kinda done this already:
The Golden Record from the Voyager missions.
My personal pick, however, is the SCP database.

Send more Chuck Berry.
The music video of Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley
On a gold disc.
Backdoor Sluts Vol. 7
“Mlorp, how do these beings even manage to procreate? This one is using the incorrect orifice, and this one removed his genital proboscis moments before copulation was complete!”
“Let’s leave them alone, Floop. They will extinct themselves shortly.”

“aw what a nine gesture, we shall relay this to the galactic federation on all channels”
The way you say that makes me wonder what their fediverse must be like.
I send Independence Day and to tell them it is a documentary. Now they know not to fuck with us.
Rather they know not to fuck with us while running Mac OS 7.5
Any episode of Ancient Aliens.
I think one of those nice Attenborough documentaries. Wasn’t there one that showcased the Earth? Seems like a nice gesture to put that forward.
A recording of 4’33".
zip bomb
all aliens use tar.gz archives sorry
Idiocracy packaged as an accurate history of the most powerful species on the planet.
