It would be a more honourable end to it all. The current lot of humans are largely a pointless lot. And at least we know all the Fascists would die in agony too.
And if I understood the science correctly we’ll have to make the decision on deploying a planetary defense method in 2028, while the chance of impact is in 2032,
which lines up to suggest it is in fact running for US President.
I fell asleep before checking bsky but if you don’t know the great news is DART was successful in 2021, so we have the technology! We just needs to make sure the technology is loaded up at the appropriate window.
NPR knows how ppl are feeling (it should be noted that this one is not big enough to cause damage on a global scale. For that we have to wait until Bennu comes around in 2182)
They're saying it would hit with approximately the force of a nuclear bomb. So, pretty bad to wherever it hits, but most everywhere else should be okay. If it hits the ocean, expect tsunamis. Again, bad but not globally devastating.
Whoaaaa whoaaaa. Is Latino and Black folks here Tampa ,, don’t want that shit anywhere near here. We r the biggest blue part of this state!!!! All of us down here are from up north.. but after all of this shit time to get out of Florida
I would not move to Ohio if you gave me 100 acres of free land pay the taxes on it for the next 50 years I don’t care what no way in hell I would ever move to the state of Ohio oh, let’s not forget the Cleveland clowns and the Cincinnati fake Tigers
And the betting pools appear: odds of humanity surviving long enough to die by asteroid?
For evaluation purposes: "humanity surviving" means 10,000 or more people of diverse enough DNA to repopulate if the asteroid were to miss and close enough to each other form a community.
Stop 🛑 lol?
I heard.
That's the day I seriously talked to the family and said, hey... We need to talk, plan, and do.
I recorded the local weather segment with the asteroid and showed them.
We are talking a lot now.
What else can we do but find some comfort in humor? 😁 8 years from now 👇
Like tomorrow? Does it have the aliens? Will it cause the earth to spin off its axis and hurtle into the sun? If not, can we get zombies? If not those, how about a black hole coming so close we get sucked in & just become spaghetti? Hell, can I just be a snail? I’m done.

Not soon enough!

I have been counting down for a while now.
Sure wish that was in minutes, with the state of the state though, uh?

Also I hope the other countries with launch capabilities are ready to deploy redirection technology if the US is busy having a civil war or something.

We need a thinning of the herd.
We’ll have a tRump family member as President and it’ll be blamed on Democrats.
America has jumped the shark.

Second term!
Word of advice: skip Ohio and let me know where you land.
For evaluation purposes: "humanity surviving" means 10,000 or more people of diverse enough DNA to repopulate if the asteroid were to miss and close enough to each other form a community.
Maybe it will speed up.

If Revelation is to be believed, it'll hit the ocean and kill only one-third of life on earth.
If the Simpsons is to be believed, it'll burn up in the atmosphere and be no bigger than a chihuahua's head.

Oh, they are rocks.
