Do not worry, when one coming to a disaster no one will see before is to late....

Alt text: ASTRONOMERS INTALLY SAID THERE WAS A ONE-IN-6,000 CHANCE THAT THE NEWLY-DISCOVERED ASTEROID MIGHT "DO SOMETHING COOL" IN 2063, BUT FURTHER OBSERVATIONS DETERMINED IT WILL BE "JUST A BORING DOT LIKE ALL THE OTHERS."

"But still...they come! DUNTDUNT DUN!"

Give me the boring dots

No Apocalypse in 2063 either then. That's a bummer.

They're good dots Brandall

Who would have thought

There's still time to organise a punk rock concert on that asteroid by then.

How I feel every time an asteroid the size of a Volkswagen comes within 1 million miles of Earth Oh Wow that’s only 4x the distance from the Earth to the Moon, practically on top of us

I'll alert Zefram Cochrane.

Astronomers: Aw sweet! This one will do something cool! ... Honey? Sell our stock, buy a ranch far from the Pacific Ocean, and stock up on all the survival supplies you can.

nothing ever happens bros stay winning

I like "boring dot". Much better than "increasingly larger ball of fire" 👍
