Watch an Asteroid Vaporize Life on Earth in This Scary Simulation

[LurchAddams]

[FONT=&]What would happen if (when?) a 310-mile-wide asteroid collides with Earth? That’s the fun question behind the simulation in the video below. And the answer is terrifying. But it turns out you shouldn’t be concerned.

For one, it’s not a scenario that’s going to happen anytime soon. Secondly, there’s nothing you can do about it anyway. All life on Earth would be vaporized within a day as clouds of fire and rock circumnavigated the globe. So don’t worry about it.[/FONT]

You had me right up until, "Fun question"!

That ain't scary. We have trillions of nukes and that's scary.

Absolutely! It's comforting to know that if Putin doesn't nuke us, we can still be vaporized by an asteroid.

Yeah, but are they playing Pink Floyd when they hit???

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest albums ever made. The entire album is a classic.

No, "Children of the Sun" by Billy Thorpe.

First of all we don't have trillions of nukes?!!

How big would a meteor have to be to destroy Earth?

Ultimately, scientists estimate that an asteroid would have to be about 96 km (60 miles) wide to completely and utterly wipe out life on our planet.

A 300 mile meteor is more powerful than all the nukes on earth too?!!

So, goodnight and sleep well, everyone!!!

It's an exaggeration but it illustrates my point. Asteroids just zip by Earth all the time. Nothing has happened for millions of years. Though the Tunguska event is an interesting one. Nobody knows what happened there.

That said, there are many mad men with nukes out there with itchy fingers. That's a whole different animal.

Quick question: Why don't they call asteroids, "hemorrhoids" and hemorrhoids, "ass-troids"? The lack of proper planning when penning the English language perplexes me at times.

Edit: By the way, "NO" I am not high. Shame on you for suggesting that!

Dr. Strangelove was released in 1963, Dark Side of the Moon in 1973.

Both still classics that will survive time. That is if Putin doesn't nuke us, or we're hit by a big asteroid.

1970s Rock group favored by stoners. Have you ever laid on top of a large speaker and cranked up the bass? Some albums are good for that, some not so much. Pink Floyd is good for it. Lots of bass, very melodic.

No, I have not laid on a speaker or sat on a dryer, but you do you, my friend!

 

[LurchAddams]

Especially with an incestous pedophile in the WH who does not know what time of day it is

Hey! Buzz-harsher. Bite us.

I would worry more about Yellowstone when it blows

The TV show?

I think you mean, "Old Faithful".

 

[LurchAddams]

Oh yes there's that. That would be the end of the world.

What's he talking about? And also, you know what else, "blows"? You guessed it: Titties&Beer.

APL is deaf and I forgot that fact when I posted the comment about Pink Floyd.

Get a grip, dumbass.

Still grumpy? Well, I hope today goes better for you.

One of the few Woody Harrelson movies I haven't seen.
