“Alien Anthropologists”

Write about alien anthropologists studying Earth and being bewildered by our customs.

Imagine extraterrestrial beings having trouble comprehending the idiosyncrasies of our society. What might they find strange or illogical about how humans run their societies, economies, interactions, and so on? This prompt gives an outside perspective, allowing for critical and humorous observations about human behavior, and it poses a challenge in trying to rationalize our own customs.
