I went for the maximally reassuring option of it landing directly on @duncanrobinson.bsky.social's head but no, it would still blow over my house, so I think I'm happy to chalk it up as "bad"
you can sort of think of it as a 1.3% chance of a single hydrogen bomb detonation at a random point on the earth's surface with the odds slightly shifted towards the equator and away from the poles
Yeah, but it would be more likely to hit the ocean, right? That's fine (Looks it up and finds that conservatively, the tsunami generated would likely be twice as powerful as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami) Ah.
Would like to hope it would hit Lake Manicouagan, purely because of the conspiracy theories you'd get if two asteroids hit in the same place as each other.
It won't be in the crater. Not sure how good a job the Norwood ridge will do of deflecting sixty megatonnes worth of shockwave, superheated winds and lumps of molten rock the size of cars.
On the other hand, it might finally be the motivation they need to get that new Westfield built.
I mean, it could be refined, things like hills'd change the way the impact works, dropping one on Exeter cathedral (top of hill) would be different to dropping one on Westminster Abbey (flood plain) and if you got a steep valley it'd be even weirder
Oh God, that's brilliant. I've just launched one at all those glass monstrosities on Deansgate. Unfortunately, I took out the library as collateral damage.
What a magnificent thing you’ve created, and framed the education in terms people can relate to. Just needs to add a Tsunami calculator.
Unrelated: I apologize to all the innocent people near (and sometimes not even all that near!) DC and Mar a Lago for all the collateral damage I’m producing.

But you know, we have the tech, it will be fine!

(he showed it to me before launch, which resulted in muttered grumbling as I crossed it off my ideas list)
But I've zero clue how to start with that
