Look outside, obviously
No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Immediately
Compulsively
Yeah but like really quickly at first. Just a peek.
I'd look outside bfore even finishing reading the message
also from different windows and angles till i see whatever it is
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.
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.


I'd look, of course. Phenomena that can kill you just by looking at them exist only in horror stories and movies.
I would immediately and involuntarily have looked outside immediately after the first message.
Human instincts are dumb like that.
DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON
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.
Roll my eyes and get pissed off that my local TV channel is having technical problems. Again.
Classics of the Internet!
Get someone else to look inside. I have seen Indiana Jones.
Immediately look outside.
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.
It’s one of the most annoying movie/TV tropes. “Don’t do this. Bad things will happen!” No explanation of what or why because there’s no time or “you wouldn’t understand.” So, of course, they do it. (And, so would I.)
Immediately kills suspension of disbelief.
Look at my camera feed which looks outside.
And the message is repeated enough times that its clear its not joke/hoax/error.
I don't think that's possible. Given the fact that our national government recently used the system to tell everybody that it's hot outside I don't think there is any message too stupid that they wouldn't send.
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
Be very much amused that someone hacked the Emergency Alert System
We have some windows without curtains, blinds or shutters, so die, I guess.
Interestingly if you look outside you immediately lose the game!
Like in "Asylum", where you got the message "A piano falls from above, crushing you to death." whenever you looked up...
I'd check my doorbell camera.
From past experience : I seem to be one of the ones that actually will not look outside.
One lesson I have paid attention to is when people say "learn from my mistakes", and in this hypothetical, I would first think that we're being told to avoid making a mistake someone else has made.
At least until I find out why we're not looking outside, and can evaluate whether I will look. I'll then promptly make whatever the wrong decision is after learning why.
To me it is never clear that's it's not a joke unless they explain. I'm just too skeptical to believe them.
SCP is leaking, again.
I'd immediately say "well that's just fucking bullshit", then go outside to look.
I gotta peek through a gap in the blinds.
Any message that tells you to do something without any explanation provided is suspect.
idk I'd probably read it like a day after I was supposed to so whatever was happening is probably already over
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.
Take a quick look outside to see if there's actually anything going on, then go back to watever I was doing and keep an eye on the news to see who hacked the emergency alert system. Because no legitimate alert will say something that nonsensical without an explanation.
