    Will get shocked and after 48 hours everything is back to normal because ya know we gotta pay bills.

    Bruv nothing will change we get distracted so easily.

  2. Work.

    If they land tomorrow, there’s nothing that the average Joe will have to deal with aside of “that’s crazy”, and move on with their lives.

    It will be a problem for world governments (as in whatever government has the county where they land, since everyone else will ring their embassies), perhaps for religious institutions, and at worst, whoever keeps the lawn neat in whatever park or building they land.

    For the rest life will keep going on as usual, with a doomsday prepers being all “I told you so” in Social Media.

  3. Any civilisation capable of travelling the immense distances from their home planet would surely have been observing us for some time and be advanced enough to be able to communicate with us in our own languages. I don’t think we’re going to need the mathematicians.

    I don’t think they cancel the Super Bowl. But a lot of goof ball shit would be happening. I’d probably have a happy little dance in my living room.

    Get the popcorn and watch the Religious freak out. I’m sure there would be a spike in suicide.

  6. “The aliens land” — is not exactly what would happen

    “The aliens show up” — would be somewhat better – but also more confusing

    the “24h” might not be available by std. means

    ? what is your actual concern ?

  7. They are already here. They’ve been here forever they live under the ocean they live inside the mountains. They live in between spaces and interdimensional. There’s no landing for them. That’s a fool’s dream.

  8. If it’s the redheads and blondes they’d retake their place as the original Chinese Emperors and have the chinese unbury all the hidden pyramids to power their fleet of saucers. Obviously. /s

  9. There would be a run on the banks because people are stupid enough to think that paper money would have any actual value during an apocalypse, other than as toilet paper.
    Next people will head to the grocery stores and hoard toilet paper like it was money (see above). They’ll also hoard milk which will just get spoiled and bread which will just get molded. See above, people are stupid.
    All those Liberals will suddenly realize that hunting and fishing are actually good things to know how to do. The sudden realization also that you can never have too many guns and too much ammo, and know how to use them. Four-wheel drive pickup trucks aren’t just for rednecks afterall.
    Turns out we can live without Starbucks and social media.
    Nevermind, nothing would happen because we would all just think the govt was faking it with AI, sorta like with the moon landings 🙂
