Is it wrong to hope it hits us?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

yeah, yeah it is

Why is that? The planet will be fine without us. It will probably be better off without us.

Its not nearly big enough to wipe out the planet. Not even close.

It would just cause suffering for thousands/hundreds of thousands of people. Are you OK with that?

[–] HiddenLychee 16 points 1 day ago

Yeah, because at best it just splashes in the ocean, worst it hits a city and causes mass suffering as thousands die from the impact and fallout. It's not going to end any suffering

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, because it's not going to be nearly as catastrophic as it sounds. What we need is a real world ender.

Is it wrong to hope it hits the specific city I live in? 😅

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Sometimes hope is all we've got.
