Jesus is coming back and he’s pissed…
Yawweee877h444, Sigh. Why can’t it be 109%
This place sucks.
psud, angielski It’s not big enough to fix anything. If it hits, it won’t hit America or Europe
It’s in the big nuke scale of energy, enough to do a lot of damage to a small area. Were it to hit a city, the city would need a lot of rebuilding. Were it to hit, few people would be in danger as we will have years of warning. The only people in the impact area would be “storm chasers” travelling to see the impact
Floshie, should I mention “don’t look up” ?
expatriado, that was Trump chances in 2016…

Those are better odds than the lottery. Has anyone set up a betting pool yet?
casmael, Okay so how big is this meteor then
everett, Exactly one meteor wide. Do you need the height as well?

everett, The meteorest.

GooberEar, angielski It’s around 1000 millimeteors
threelonmusketeers, angielski Listed in the article:
Scientists estimate that 2024 YR4 is between 130 to 300 feet (40 and 90 meters) wide
spongeborgcubepants, How many giraffes is it tho

Comment105, Fuck, I was hoping for a 10-15 km wide one.
psud, angielski Were it to hit it would hit like a large nuke
Uranus_Hz, angielski Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.
Idea,
JohnDClay, Great video, the probability will keep going up till it goes way down. Unless it doesn’t.

Wow this is the most depressing comment section I’ve ever seen.
threelonmusketeers, angielski Yeah, even for Lemmy this is bad. I hope most of them are semi-facetious?

it’s just standard “haha self harm funi”, it’s so easy to post and reliably gets a few upvotes, so it’s just a kneejerk response to posts like these.

Which direction do I need to fart to up those numbers?
FreakinSteve, Can we speed that up a bit?
InFerNo, If we are able to nudge an asteroid, would an asteroid of this size nudge the earth?
threelonmusketeers, angielski Technically the solar system is a multi-body system, and everything nudges everything else, but the mass of the earth is far greater than the mass of the asteroid, to the point that it doesn’t matter.
uxia, angielski Reading this headline instantly brought a huge smile to my face 😁

Hobbes, Is there any way to get it here sooner?
