I was wondering, what people would actually do in that situation. Its somewhat expectable thing in some horror games, but i dont think i have seen the concept explored in this light.
Lets say you get an emergency message to your phone, the one they use to inform people of things like toxic chemical spills, accidents and everything. The message informs you to stay indoors and expressively says that you should not look outside no matter what, but does not clarify further why. And the message is repeated enough times that its clear its not joke/hoax/error.
What would you do?
If the moon is out, I would stay indoors, block all moonlight from entering, and break all of my mirrors. Not falling for that again.
Again? 👀
All of their videos are sooo good!
I’d look outside bfore even finishing reading the message
also from different windows and angles till i see whatever it is
Well since the only realistic danger to looking outside is a large explosion, maybe nuclear …. It depend s whether I’m still looking when the blast wave hits
I’d probably use my phone.
If they don’t explain why, then that’s suspicious. I’d think that someone hacked the emergency alert system for some kind of ARG or joke.
Look outside, obviously
Immediately
Compulsively
Yeah but like really quickly at first. Just a peek.
Roll my eyes and get pissed off that my local TV channel is having technical problems. Again.
Classics of the Internet!
I gotta peek through a gap in the blinds.
I feel like statistally you’re more likely to get a coup and the coup plotters and trying to prevent civillian resistance as in “please do not notice these collumns of tanks trying to takeover, totally nothing nefarious happening, nothing to see here citizen, move along” than some mysterious “if you look outside, you die” movie plot. So I’m probably pulling out the camera to record whats probably a once in a lifetime event.
I would immediately and involuntarily have looked outside immediately after the first message.
Human instincts are dumb like that.
I’d check my doorbell camera.
I’d look at my camera feeds to see what’s outside without looking outside
Same. I’m too lazy sometimes that I’d rather check my camera feed instead of getting off the couch to look out the window.
One time i needed to go across the street to pick something up from another house. I used the live football on TV to see if it was still raining because it was at the local grounds. Getting up to twitch the curtains just seemed like effort.
stay where you are your children are sleeping they are asleep don’t move just stay where you are
please stop calling
don’t look outside it’s not them
weapons are ineffective they cant leave the trees
stay where you are
they are not your children
