    I’m fine with this going either way, and that somehow feels worse than having a position.

    You know it will hit the day after humanity finally starts to reverse it's greenhouse gas output and achieves a better quality of living and people once again are really able to have hope..

    Then BAM! Big fucking rock.

        A big ass rock that blacks out the Sun and maybe boils a chunk of ocean?

      Not if we send a bunch of oil drillers to drill the asteroid in pieces or whatever.

        There will be no more oil drillers by then. It will be tragic.

    I read somewhere that if they predict an asteroid early enough, all we need to do is send a drone to paint it white. That changes how solar energy bombards it enough to alter the trajectory

    Cant wait for the real life version of Armageddon except rather than stopping the asteroid, the Democrats find a way to means test who gets slammed by it. Oh and they have to get Elon Musk to do the mission as NASA is just an amusement park at that point. Musk naturally fucks it up and does some agonising Dogecoin tweets about it mid-mission. A bunch of poor people die. Stephen Colbert stands there in his stupid fucking suit with his hand in his pocket doing homophobia while blaming Putin. My Pillow man becomes president.

    Fuck man, our timeline is so soul crushingly banal and moribund, it’s literally easier to imagine an end to the world than it anything resembling even the slightest increment improvement happening. It’s just tedious farce from here on out.

    when it hits a shallow body of water and perfectly cancels out global warming. in fact, we have to keep releasing carbon to prevent a mass extinction in the other direction.

    Honestly if there's gonna be a world ending apocalypse this is the one I'm down for. Fucking no chance, we're all gonna die, it's fucking party time BABY! Gonna hit up my ex and ask her if she wants to go fuck on top of a mountain, drive drunk to Yellowstone and try and shoot a buffalo, break into some rich fuckers home and whisky piss all over his furniture, burn down my old high school. Sounds like a fucking trip.

      Maybe it's like the weather service and they sell more accurate weather predictions to you if you're like a freight company.
