Yes, people think that the “day of independence” occurs in real time … again

That day in 1996, when America was preparing to celebrate the next July 4, the extraterrestrial invasion of the earth began. A massive mother arrived on the orbit of the planet and unleashed saucers in big cities like New York, Los Angeles and Washington DC, causing destruction that would kill millions. It is only thanks to the efforts of a group of disparate survivors, notably the President of the United States, Thomas Whitmore, the technician David Levinson, the American sedan captain Steven Hiller, and the deceased ancient pilot of the Air Force Russell breaks, among others, that the world would ultimately be saved. At least, this is the case in the film Independence day Since Roland Emmerich. However, an account on X (formerly Twitter) called ID4 in real time is to imagine how these events would be transmitted on social networks and, shocking, some people fall for this.

ID4 in real time has been operating since 2019 and has been doing lives annual tweets of the beloved summer blockbuster to celebrate the release of the film and holidays as well. Their posts begin in the days preceding the invasion, discussing unsuccessful attempts to pass by President Whitmore (Bill Pullman) Big Crime Bill and other events around the world before running for foreign relationships. The account is also not afraid of mixing certain references to current events, such as calling the bill of Whitmore the “great brilliant legislation” in a parody of the “Big Beautiful Bill”, or saying that they were accidentally labeled on the “signal of the experimental group communication tool” by Al Nimziki (James hike), mocking an equally serious error by the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz implying The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg. All this inevitably ends in the heroic sacrifice of Russell and the earth – or rather America – striking back and removing the extraterrestrials with applause.

For the most part, these tweets are quite easy to identify as part of a little, spreading the film of determining science fiction and putting a new turn on the emblematic scenes from the point of view of a stranger. However, out of context, some of these messages also surprised users. Whether it is a tweet of official news on White House sources with proof of extraterrestrial invaders or using real developments from the European Space Agency to support the findings of the search for the extraterrestrial intelligence institute, they have aroused some fair responses that have not immediately noticed the theme.

Read the answers to the live tweet of the annual “independence day”

The ID4 account in real time had a little pleasure in giving “evidence” to users who have sought all new from an extraterrestrial invasion, to make themselves empty. When a person asked for a source after having traveled official reports on UFOs entering the earth’s atmosphere, they shared the perfect page to know everything about the historic event – the IMDB page.

Another user turned to the integrated AI of X, Grok, to get help. Grok did not have a perfect balance sheet, to say the least, and, of course, he knew nothing of an invasion. Although the original AI message is no longer available, @ 1996id4 laughed at having dared to suggest that they were not very real threats, deeply dangerous and credible for all human life.

For the most part, however, Most users just take the pleasure of reliving the opening hours of the invasion While long-long UFOs are starting to position themselves on major American cities and put the world in “Checkmate”. There have been countless references to the use of nuclear weapons “immediately and often” and to remarks on the effectiveness of President Whitmore in a crisis like this. Another user has noticed to be fooled by some of the messages before finally catching this, with all the different officials of the film referenced and made jokes, it is indeed a Independence day thing.
