Seriously, I doubt it would even take that long. We get used to shit so quickly, and the news cycles have to keep feeding us new things, the only way we’d keep talking about the aliens if they kept doing new and interesting things. I’d be willing to bet a year later there would be some people who straight up forgot about it. “Oh yeah, aliens! Are they gonna, like, visit at some point or just keep exchanging calls with the Whitehouse?”
Will I have to keep going to work? Then it doesn’t change my linfe enough for me to care so much. I know it’s a bad thought but life is hard for individuals and it’s hard to care to for aliens if they are not helping feed the kids
