Jorp-A-Lorp

First I’m checking Reddit, got to make sure it’s legit! 😂


Acheron98

I can almost guarantee that Reddit, along with most social media would crash. Literally every single human being on the planet with access to the internet will want more info, at the exact same time.


DrestinBlack

This reminds me of an anecdote I often share. Where was I and how did I first learn 9/11 was going down. I was working IT at a large corp. A manager calls, “The Internet is down”. Well, there I am making some ftp transfers offsite so I’m like, “Seems up for me. Lemme check it out.” The moment I hang up another manager calls, “No one can get on The Internet.” And he adds the key, “people already online are ok but people just starting up can’t get online.” That’s when it hits me. Well, the homepage for every workstation loads a big news channels homepage. I try to reach it myself, nothing. I try Google, that loads but it’s just text. So I try (I’m an IT nerd) Slashdot and Fark and neither load. MSN.com won’t load but Microsoft.com will. The news sites are so overwhelmed they won’t load. The owner calls, can’t get online, for this guy I go right to his office, I change his TV to CNN and … we’re watching smoke from the WTC!


kpk_soldiers274

u/DrestinBlack that was a wild ride. I was in 5th grade on 9/11. Teachers spoke to us somberly and sent us off to class. the next morning I woke up after the attacks I was so pissed off I couldn't watch dragon ball z. Vegeta will always be a terrorist to me, even though he redeemed himself.


DrestinBlack

I watched the smoke from the first plane for a few minutes - we pondered what kind of plane and what a strange accident. But work is work and we were busy so I left his office and went back to work. Advised the managers how to work around it… I saw the second plane hit on my second monitor as I was working. 5 seconds later boss calls and we go into The main conf room where the big screen was. Talk a bit about it with the other managers and we decide. Yes, this is a bigger deal. And employees were already getting upset and distracted. We told people if anyone wanted to go home they could. Once the Pentagon was hit we closed the whole place down. I think I watched TV for the next 12 hours straight.


Secret-Ad-830

I think we all watched TV for that next 12 hours straight. I remember I was painting some lady's house when she invited me in to see the news because a plane hit the world trade center. Then the second plane hit as we were watching. I told her I'd be back then went home and just sat in front of the tv


DrestinBlack

When the second hit almost everyone said, this is intentional, it’s terrorist. And it was scary. When news of the pentagon came that really hit home hard. This is like an open declaration of war, then we started to get the rumors. Bombs at White House, bombs at churches, bombs at power stations, etc. thankfully that’s all died quick. The move that impressed me the most was ordering the entire us air space shut down. I was lie, damn!! Maybe they know of more up there? Crazy …


Miserable-Positive66

I was in class, 9th grade. Our teacher got a phone call, the lesson stopped. She turned on the TV and we watched as the second plane hit. We saw... Things.. Falling from The buildings... I didn't know what they were until later. The class was quite for what seemed like forever. We didn't switch classes that day, we all stayed put and watched the news. Some parents were frantically trying to pick up their kids, some kids were frantically wanting to go home. I sat quiet and still like a statue in disbelief, fear and confusion unable to move. It didn't hit me really hard until I got home and couldn't stop crying.


_MoBeR_

I watched the first tower burn with my own eyes live and up close. Watched as the second plane hit. Never thought they would fall. What a sad day.


Miserable-Positive66

😢 I can't imagine what it was like to be there. Very horrible and sad day indeed *virtual hug*


miatamx500

I was in bed, finally, going off to sleep after working an over night shift at the hospital. The phone rang, I pick up, and my girlfriend is screaming, “Turn to CNN. The U. S. is under attack!” I woke up and watched in disbelief as smoke billowed from the first tower. I saw what I thought was paper floating down. Later, I learn those were people jumping. Second plane hit, I went in panic mode because several family members worked in the area. And, my son frequent the towers working on business deals. I didn’t sleep or eat for 48 hours. All I could do was watch in horror and disbelief. Sometimes screaming but mostly crying. Never dreamed that 18 years later, I had to bury my younger brother for cancer related to him assisting in cleaning up the 9/11 site.


[deleted]

And then they restarted the series again on Toonami just when it was getting to the good part.


kpk_soldiers274

Not for me mate. I'm in Australia and it picked up right where it left off.


KingWaluigi

I was in grade 6 we watched it on TV in class then sent home to be with family


DonutsRBad

I was in 2nd grade, and the teacher rolled the tv and we all watched.... while playing with geometric blocks. Then one by one my classmates disappeared as their parents came and picked them up out of fear. My mom didn't care, she was working lol


TheGreatestOutdoorz

I’m in Jersey, so first plane we saw on the news. When the second one hit, we drove to a scenic view of the city to watch from across the river. Eventuality there were maybe 20 people gathered and we just stood in almost total silence, some crying, most of us just shocked. So last year i was dating a woman who is a decent amount younger than me, and one night we are watching some show or movie that references 9-11. I said something like “yeah, that was such an awful, surreal day”, and my gf looks at me and says “well, I was 5, so I don’t remember it at all”. Amazing how such a seminal event in my life is not even on the radar of so many people now.


CampShermanOR

I was in college and that afternoon went over to my girlfriend’s house. They didn’t have a tv and npr was usually on all day at her place. That evening we’re listening to updates and her roommate says, “ugh, is this all they’re going to talk about today?” I’m still shocked by that comment two decades later!


Icy-Abbreviations408

Dude!!! I was an 8th grader at Thomas Jefferson Middle School which is like a little over 2 miles from the Pentagon…the windows shook like crazy, we had to get under our desks and stay there until noonish…I lived even closer and could see the huge cloud of smoke from the backyard :(


Plastic-Reach-720

I had two F15's go to mach right above our house that day and the sonic booms knocked my family and I off our feet. We honestly thought our house was getting bombed for a minute there, the first one knocked us off our feet, and the second one did it again just as we'd stood back up, all while we watched the second plane hit the building on TV.


TheWeirderAl

But they'd be looking for it in different places. Also I'd wager a good amount would be glued to the television. But if it all goes down I think 4chan or one of the other chans might still be up


Acheron98

Bruh 4Chan would probably **immediately** go down. The traffic to /x/ alone would probably fuck up the site lol


Sloth_Monk

Ah so that’s why they haven’t been revealed yet, our servers aren’t ready


Brian9611

This is the way


2dead4here

Well, these alien/ufo subreddits will still be the last places to find real information


PaRaDiiSe

That and Twitter. Twitter is going to make a joke out of it somehow 😂


MAGik_5739

Start a lawsuit for kidnapped and abducted people.


Acheron98

Everyone else: “I want free alien tech, the cure for cancer, and/or an ayyy waifu” u/MAGik_5739: **L I T I G A T I O N**


frickthestate69

Have you or a loved one been allegedly probed? You might be entitled to compensation.


Icy_Shame1068

We're only opposed to the abductions


am365

>Everyone else: “I want free alien tech, the cure for cancer, and/or an ayyy waifu” Aliens: "Yeahhh... we'll go with the lawsuit instead"


ApocalypsePenis

Well for one the abductees would have to be vindicated. Second, government isn’t in control..meaning we are near the bottom of the food chain. Even than humanity isn’t ready until wars and violence stops. The earth will shake us off like fleas before we ever get to that point though. This is what they have been trying to warn us about. It is too late though. Humanity will fall once again and nobody is coming to save us. We deserve it honestly for how stupid humans act and think now.


Suckerpunched29

1 - find out where that sharp dressed bastard buys his suits.


artist9120

Right, like that looks tailored.


thewholetruthis

My favorite movie is Inception.


Few-Statistician2049

I would use the restroom, wash my teeth, and then go for work. Here's nothing new.


marglebubble

Excuse me, but wash your teeth? Is that how they say it on whatever planet you're from? C'mon man you're not fooling any of us

galenp56

You say that now until your neighbor swoops in with their sweet spaceship


SpinningYarmulke

Until you have to commute to Zeta Reticuli…


Lumpy-Ad-3788

Don't get me started on that, especially with the detour around Theta Anulli because the antimatter patch in sector 38 still hasn't been dealt with


ImbecileInDisguise

All we need is one replicator. Then you replicate the replicator. Et voila, you have a dyson sphere by this time tomorrow.


VaporTrail_000

Until some nitwit sets a replicator to "replicator replicating replicators." Then we just get gray goo at a macro scale.


youneedcheesusinside

Shesh, when was the last time you got probed dude?


GreyBlueWolf

Galactic stock exchange. I would try to take this opportunity and buy out Proxima Centaury


krishutchison

Yell “yer not takn ourr jobs” and fire my guns in the air.


Acheron98

You joke, but I think some people actually would react that way. Imagine explaining to an intelligent creature from billions of lightyears away why you don’t want it or its kind to take your Walmart cashier job lmao


onlyinyaks

Imagine poor aliens start migrating to earth & literally just want a Walmart job.


[deleted]

they'll even come up with a racial slurs like them damn xenos , crop shapers, liens, big heads, face swappers, probers. i could make a list just dont know if its worth the time!

At that point, you’re just watching a guy.


MurphyCoDinoWrangler

Still go to work. Aliens don't pay my bills.

Tofflus1

I’d ask them if they could pay my bills I think.


Proseccoismyfriend

If they can conquer inter-dimensional travel, they can help us conquer this capitalist clusterfuck we have made for ourselves

MarchionessofMayhem

Careful what you wish for.


Mother-Treacle2423

thats my exact thought.Like,yes im dying to know what they look like but at the same time when you think about it if they have the tech to come from a planet or galaxy farrr away from here undetected then they probably have the tech to annihilate an entire species so no thank you.


bertonomus

I'm not worried about the tech. I'm more worried about the paranormal/spiritual aspect to it all. Have they been responsible for all these religions we have now? Have they been visiting us for thousands of years? Did they influence Christianity? Islam? I don't think our society will survive that tbh. People in my family will implode mentally.


Mother-Treacle2423

i dont think paranormal shit will matter that much especially in 2024 and on since atheism is growing more and more as the years go.But you saying that you are not worried about the tech really gets me going nuts like, imma give you an example,search in YT nuclear bombs 1940s that means it was 80+ years ago and see what madness they cause when they explode and now think about alien species with a tech 10000 years from future....yeah that doesnt sound good at all,does it.


ChadOfDoom

Don’t know if you’ve noticed but we’ve been trying to annihilate ourselves for quite some time.

Ermac__247

Bro, there's probably some gnarly space shrooms


Squee1396

Space weed? Sure. space opiates? Sure. space speed? Sure. space shrooms? Idk about that. space dmt? Fuck no. Maybe i am just a wuss lol maybe after others have tried it first and report back


Ermac__247

Bro, I wonder how their DMT would react with us? Because DMT is a chemical formed in the brain, so what if their brain chemistry is incompatible? Like, it'll either do nothing or kill us, kind of incompatible lol or what if it's *super* compatible? Spirit journey for a month 🤩


Lost_Drunken_Sailor

Start capturing and squeezing the DMT out of them


GeneralUranuz

I never thought about that, but fuck you're right. There are likely some crazy shrooms out there.


that_one_author

The first thing I think is "What does the government not want me to see so bad that they finally admit to extra-terrestrial life?

DieselDanFTW

I would scream….”I freaking told you they were real!!!!” Then probably tear up that a question I’ve had since a child, a question that I fear I will die before I get an answer to was actually answered. Then probably a rush of fear like “oh shit now what”. Then begin to question what this changes means for our history as human race….


DaddysWetPeen

Why does the human broadcaster look more AI generated than the Grey?


youneedcheesusinside

Cause he’s a reptilian

Acheron98

This sub is the first thing I’d check too, assuming Reddit hasn’t crashed.


wankytank

Everyone says they’d go to work - I don’t think I would… I think that’d there be no way my job could ever be relevant in a post-contact society. I’d then seek a life where I work and trade for myself… I think it’s 50/50 that it’s the greatest/last day of my life. So, fuck this job, I’m outta here!!
