If aliens found Earth dead

In the movie the Matrix, Neo (Keanu Reeves) wakes up one day on a futuristic plasma hovercraft thing and is told he was living in a computer simulation all of his life. He doesn't take the news very well and hyperventilates then falls on the floor. Well if I wake up on a futuristic plasma hovercraft and get told my life was a computer simulation, I would pause for a second then think, "now everything makes sense". I wouldn't fall down on the floor.
I would say "oh! So that is why the moon's  diameter to sun ratio is the same as it's distance from earth to sun ratio making it appear to be exactly the same size in the sky". And "oh ! That is why light particles slow down their time when they are shined from a speeding object like a train to ensure they don't go faster than the speed of light constant". And "oh, that is why many dogs know there is going to be an Earthquake before it happens".

If aliens that destroy civilizations on other planets and leave the victim planets lifeless arrive here and find Earth is already lifeless, I would have a message for them.

Dear alien destroyers of worlds. If you are wondering why this world was an active civilisation and just recently destroyed itself before you could get to it, then let me explain.

Firstly, I understand that the preparations you made for this sport of yours was a lot. You had to travel one billion splilions (one splilion is the distance you travelled divided by one billion) and build machines that destroy worlds. Unfortunately, humans are party poopers.

If the details of what happened are not recorded in this printout of my blog then I will assume that some people on one part of the planet said "you are bad" and the other part said "no, you are bad", a bit like a pantomime. This continued until the finger pointing fools tried to make the other guys shut up with their strongest explosives.

If you want to know how people can be so stupid, then please read on and things will be a bit clearer.

No need to make a simulation of human reality to find out why your sports event was messed up.

Simples.
