Thought experiment: The aliens have landed, what would you do?

Ok, lets assume the following scenario has just happened. A HUGE ship has just come into orbit around the earth. Its obviously not one of ours. Governments cant hide it, its so big its visible in the daytime sky. All attempts to contact it have not been successful. Its just hanging up there and no one knows why its here or what their intentions are. A smaller ship has just landed in the middle of the continental United states and just sits there on the ground. What would you do?

I'd probably just do what I normally do and be indifferent.
I'd be thinking about what to have for dinner and if I have enough clean clothes for the next day.

I would do nothing because I try to maintain a reasonable level of not giving a crap.
If my day to day routine changes, I'll start worrying.

Until then,live and let live.

Grab my boomstick and head to my bunker

I'd hope for the best but prepare for the worst , I already know here I'm going in any worst case scenario situation so I'd be readying for that.

Tell them how oppressed they are, scream about how the borders should be open to interplanetary immigration, and sign them up for welfare, so they can start voting democrat. /sarc

Virtue signal from my part of the country where they didn't land and I'm not affected.

And what if the Ship landed anywhere other than the U.S. ?

a reply to: Cymru



It could land anywhere on the planet. Just using the US as an arbitrary example. It could land at Wiltshire if you like.

Have dinner, drinks and a wild passionate night of sex until the sun came up.

"A smaller ship has just landed in the middle of the continental United states and just sits there on the ground."

I would buy even more popcorn than i bought anyway, for that Trump and "America First" show. And would have even more laughs than because of the Trump and America First running gag show. When the US behaves like it behaves always and everywhere, shooting first and asking questions later, maybe, if still able too. And the aliens show "gods own army" what superior and advanced weapons and warfare are...

Take some time off work and watch live feed of this thing around the clock.

Wear the necklace that a dying hybrid made me promise to wear when the ships came.

A lot of variables but probably head north east to my cave. Stopping to buy much beer along the way
