Asteroid is supposedly going to hit earth's oceans, causing extinction - lol ok

[Lurkman]

apparently we're gonna die haha

see y'all in hell if this is true

Call me when Steve Buscemi gets shot into space.

 

[ICametoLurk]

good

 

[Bassomatic]

That's like god's gamer humor.

 

[Daughter of Cernunnos]

Hopefully hits near Africa, kills all the kangs.

"NASA scientist warns we're not prepared for surprise asteroid or comet strike"

No shit. How is this news?

 

[unclestryker]

No shit. How is this news?

It's not, they been saying this shit since the nineties.

Call me when Steve Buscemi gets shot into space.

And it's not Steve Buscemi, it's Bruce Willis.

 

[Tootsie Bear]

I doubt something like this will happen in my lifetime. But if it does I hope we're prepared to survive.

 

[Bassomatic]

This was not how I wanted my final solution to go....

 

[Curt Sibling]

We actually get hit with small rocks all the time. It's really a question of when a BIG rock is going to impact the planet.
There's no way of watching the 360' vision around Earth all the time, so a mega-meteor would come as a surprise.

Extinction of our species is actually very difficult to achieve. I'm reading a book on this at the moment.
Perhaps our planet needs a clean re-install and to delete SJWs and other failed branches of the race.

 

[King_Scrotus]

I agree with Curt. While mass extinctions do happen, I think that humans quite specifically wouldn't be as effected by it, even if it were an event which killed a large number of people. Humans are far too proliferated over the earth, and no event is going to be able to wipe out every single human without also destroying the entire planet itself.

 

[AnOminous]

With a fraction of the resources we squander on all kinds of idiotic shit, we could map the vast majority of the objects that pose any kind of real risk to us, identify the ones in orbits that pose a potential risk, and keep track of them. From any reasonable distance, it would be fairly trivial to knock them off course and even a slight deviation in their trajectory would result in a total miss.

Even considering the unlikelihood of the event, the fact that it would more or less annihilate civilization means it's ridiculous that we aren't doing it. We'd also probably discover some cool shit in the process.

 

[Autosexual]

thank god

 

[The Queen of Trash]

Isn't the end of the world always right around the corner?

 

[FemalePresident]

I heard there's a space ship coming with the asteroid.

 

[RADICALGOBLIN]

highly doubt it

 

[Lackadaisy]

Well, at least it'd be quicker than plague or ice age.

 

[wagglyplacebo]

And it's not Steve Buscemi, it's Bruce Willis.

They were both in that movie.

 

[Ronald Gaygun]

I hope it hits 14 Branchland Court

 

[0xDEADBEEF]

Good. I'm ready to die.
