People only worry about the uncanny for about a week; that's the end of their attention span. After that, suspicions turn into shtick.

Summary

This quote implies that people's interest in strange or peculiar things is short-lived. Initially, they may be concerned or intrigued by something unfamiliar or eerie, but their attention quickly wanes. They quickly dismiss their initial suspicions and transform them into a form of exaggerated humor or entertainment. This observation suggests that the human attention span is limited, and even unsettling or peculiar occurrences do not hold our interest for an extended period of time.
