Explanation

Experiment

The humor comes from how a simple, positive phrase like 'have a nice day' contrasts with the ominous 'enjoy the next 24 hours.' The latter sounds like a threat, implying that something bad will happen after that time, causing a sense of fear and anxiety in the recipient instead of goodwill.
