It will be pretty unlucky. Considering that earth is 71% water, my bet is it will crash into the oceans. It’s already pretty unlucky that it would hit earth with all this empty space in the universe.
Potentially 10 times the size of the explosion from the Hunga Tonga volcano. If this is a simulation, it'll hit somewhere hilariously karmic.
An ocean hit could result in a huge tsunami and steam cloud.
Not unless it's already ready to blow. With the Yellowstone hotspot, it's all about pressure built under the rhyolite cap. In fact, it could just harmlessly release a small eruption, thus delaying the next cycle. And by then, the hotspot would've moved away towards ND.
we're already fracking just 90mi south of the yellowstone caldera. ask the people of wichita if they remember a time when they never got earthquakes... hint: it was before there was fracking in the kansas-oklahoma oil patch. i'm terrified of the geological implications of fracking @ supervolcanoes
the planet will be fine,had that already a few times.
when yellowstone goes south,then mankind will have a problem.
it will be VERY cold.
perhabs the weather to cool all those Nazis down and start to think (or extinct)
Good idea. We'll all be alerted to leave town. I just can't wait for miracles, mother nature, or anything, to happen to secure all of us. I wake up everyday feeling 'disturbed' by his actions that put us in such an insecure positions.
I haven't been able to find words to describe how i feel, esp as, so far, my sister's Social Security hasn't deposited. Nausea is a constant companion...
If it took out Bracknell as well even better.
Reading is optional.
Regrettable if Wellington Estate goes too, but sacrifices often made in UK interests.
I’ve had this feeling. But it’s disturbing. Like a reminder that people being good or bad to each other doesn’t fucking matter when an asteroid comes. But then I wonder what the point of my morals are, and that’s not the right way to look at it. Is it?
If I don't miss in 2032 the only thing that matters is that you live the next 7 years with integrity, love, compassion, and the fighting spirit that is within you.
Can you speed it up a little? I don’t want too much time for things to get even worse, but if it gets better I don’t want to be sad you did us in after all that.
Storytime, gather round kids. There once was a rocket bound for Mars containing Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Trump. After leaving Earth's atmosphere a comet collides into the rocket, avoiding the planet while simultaneously combusting the tons of bloated gas contained inside the rocket. The end.
Right? I'm am catatonic right now. There's like 4 solid ways the world will end, this year, so this asteroid is still satisfying but probably late. cheers.
do you ever wonder if the dinosaurs reached the state of chaos we have in the days/weeks/months leading up to the asteroid hit that took them out?
and then, do you ever wonder, when they saw that bright speck getting larger and brighter and filling the sky, did they think "oh, thank god!"
100 meters wide, it's barely even a city buster. Depending on the angle of entry and the altitude where it breaks up, it could flatten half of Los Angeles or it could really annoy a couple of birds.
But in the worst case scenario, it's JUST the right size to takeout a douchebag on a golf course.
In 1908, an asteroid believed to be 160 to 190 feet wide (50 to 60 m) exploded above Eastern Siberia near the Tunguska river, flattening 80 million trees over an area of 830 square miles
100m is a whole different ball game, not just the impact to think about, but the heat generated, the seismic event it causes and the dust cloud it throws up. It would be equivalent to a nuclear winter afterwards.
Right. Which would be a city buster (barely) not a continent buster. Unless the thing was made out of solid iron and falling perpendicular, it would likely just break up at tropopause in an airburst.
And I spent WAY too many months doing impact simulations not to laugh at "nuclear winter."
I realize that people have added their wish lists of where they’d like this to land, but I put my vote in for a particular house in Washington DC. Maybe it’ll fragment when it enters our atmosphere and strike several different places 🤷🏻♀️🤞
I can’t lie, Americans will always be so selfish as to cheer the end of the whole world just because their little shitty corner of it is going down the drain.
Trust me , we have no “ monopoly “ on our corner of the world going down the drain If you think that I suggest you look around at the world in which you live There’s lots of shitty people in the world , lots
Yeah I agree. The main difference is those people usually don’t drape themselves in their flag, tell others that they’re the best in the World at everything, ignore international laws when it suits them, start illegal wars, let their children die because they love their guns more and so on.
Really , wow It’s easy to be an armchair radical when the situation isn’t yours to fight As I sit in my bed with a spiral fracture of my ankle , I just wonder what I can do to be less of a “ sissy “
It would likely kill more people via tsunami from landing in the middle of the Atlantic than it would from a direct land impact to somewhere like central Australia, Russia or Northern Canada.
PLEASE OH PLEASE relieve us oh great rock in the sky!
Turn our way just a teensy weensy bit more!
Make it land square in the middle of a place called maralardo.
You can find it by the blinding fake golden glow when a door is opened. Follow it, oh great rock, so that we may be made whole once again!
I live near a nuclear power plant. I will be rolling a recliner right next to the power plant with a large amount of wine and at that point...bring it on. I'm so ready....can we accelerate this? Just could we make sure the human race goes and the rest of the planet and animals survive?
I have a suggestion for the company for the space mission, and for the astronaut flying the Space Mission. If there is more than one seat I have more than one suggestion.
Well hell. Good time for Frump, Muskrat and their families to get on one of those Starlink rockets and escape, which at that point the asteroid misses Earth😏.
We can dream right.
Since the first time that they elected Donald Trump, I’ve always felt like our government put a cartoon in front of us so that we would be distracted from something else and now we’re doing it again so easily things that make you think
Agreed, let the Earth shift in a way at the right time so that big ball of rock just takes out the United States! We don't deserve this magnificent landscape! All it is is a cesspool of stupidity with shopping malls, mini-marts, and convenience stores from coast to coast anyway!
What a bunch of fucking morons. Living in the most privileged place, time, and nation on earth casually wishing for the death of others. Why not try enjoying your lives that are better now than kings and queens in the Middle Ages by orders of magnitude?
If we don't wipe ourselvesout with a nuclear war started by the crazy leaders we elect.
And the AI super intelligence we create and can't control somehow decides to keep us around.
There's always this.... third time lucky!
I feel you. I believe in life after death and going to heaven, and it is sounding pretty good right now. But make no mistake, I am not one of those "evangelical" monsters that are claiming Christianity right now.
I can think of a resort in Florida I wouldn't mind seeing that thing hit. Hopefully with it's owner and his entourage of sycophantic officials with him.
well if it's any comfort the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was at minimum 100x the size of this one (actually a little more than that) and life bounced back from that, so hey. could be worse!

Don't give up hope.

Instant relief! ☺️
Failing that, Basingstoke.
Also a massive loss to the Friends of Roundabouts (UK Chapter)

You read it here first!
one of the biggest, possibly even the central problem of the last 200 years is denial of the idea that it is all fully connected
Please hit the White House.
GO RUN HOME TO MOMMY ASTEROID.
A REAL ASTEROID WOULD HAVE THE GUTS TO ACTUALLY HIT EARTH.
Set course for right up Trump's ass. Put that mass and velocity to good use.
Merry Christmas, everybody!
and then, do you ever wonder, when they saw that bright speck getting larger and brighter and filling the sky, did they think "oh, thank god!"
They're eating the cats.
They're eating the dogs.
It might be because it's a plan, that has an end date.
In earth terms I believe it's called "thicc" or something.
But in the worst case scenario, it's JUST the right size to takeout a douchebag on a golf course.

That's why I said Florida
His Margo shit
Can I get a second?
Send him towards the sun to be reunited with his car.
This dramatically reduces the chance of harm even if it does hit us.
Sorry to be all Pollyanna about it.

But chances are we’ll never have to worry about it.
The science seems to indicate that there’s no such risk from a meteor as there is with significant underwater geological events.

Well, some fish would probably have a super fucked up day, but otherwise mostly harmless.
Again, I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade. It would be better if it missed, which is most likely.
Unless you happen to be on a boat in that particular part of the ocean.
Or if you’re a fish, or a water-faring mammal.
We’d likely have more than enough notice to halt ship traffic. Not as much hope for alerting porpoises I’m afraid. 🥺

Dang
You still gonna feel safe standing there?
