We’ve been producing noticeable radio waves for a matter of decades. We’ve been capable of detecting even super-powerful, super-deliberate, super-targeted broadcasts for even less time.
And on top of that, it doesn’t look as though our civilisation is going to exist for more than a handful more decades, in any detectable-from-light-years-away form.
The chances of that onionskin-thin slice of lightcone intersecting with that of any other civilisation out there seems ludicrously remote.
It’s not practical.
However, have a shower in the pitch dark sometime. It’s the most ridiculously soothing thing imaginable.
Put your shower gel and stuff where you can find it by feel, obvs.
