Don't worry. Trump will build a wall. No illegal alien world will break throught it.

 

[Luminaire]

Yeah it's from Ito, it's called Hellstar Remina

And jackasses are charging $400 for it on amazon.

 

[Pyrokai]

What is that jiff from? At least the end of the world looks pretty.

Holy shit...me too. I stopped counting, but this November is 30. That kind of sucks.

Omg I'm December. I'd be okay with it ending now.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

So who else is going to play this the night of September 22?

[mechashiva]

Asl

End of the world, old enough to party the rest don't matter.

 

[LycanXIII]

Fuck, that's my birthday.

 

[LordKasual]

Planet X collides with Earth

Ariana Grande saves us

The storyline for surviving earth becomes shit

Planet X collides with earth

Morgan Freeman kinda saves a few of us but not really

The world is 100x better than before

 

[Username1198]

YOOOOOO

WE MADE IT GUYS!!!!!

No niburu

Now the only planet sized thing we need to worry about is trumps ego destroying civilization

 

[v1lla21]

Ay that's my birthday

 

[A-V-B]

CG Jeff Bridges always freaks me out

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

YOOOOOO

Is it September already? I'm sure it's soooooo far out on the horizon that only NASA can see it and they arnt talking

So let's assume for a second this were actually true. What could we do about it? Obviously blowing it up to smithereens would be impossible, but could we theoretically alter its trajectory if we used all available nuclear armament on earth?

we could pray

 

[Bishop89]

Is this news? Crackpot dude has crackpot theory, why should we care? How has no one else seen this planet?

Trump cut NASA's budget and took away all there telescopes

Best method for redirecting incoming masses is to send out something to gravity tractor it out of the path of the earth

 

[ctfg23]

Ay that's my birthday

Me too

 

[M.W.]

we could pray

For what? A quick death?

If we go that realistic, we'd probably notice a planet coming a good while away (the gravity something that large emits would not go unnoticed by our equipment on Earth). If it is on a collision course, you'd probably plan ahead with the hope of sending larger objects (meteorites?) in it's path and using that to change it's course slightly. I doubt our nuclear arsenal could detonate it away but using it to change course of meteors might work out better.

Course we'd have to find these meteors nearby on top of that which we haven't done succesfully yet.

 

[Reverend Funk]

For what? A quick death?

I would probably pray that it would miss but a quick death could be cool too

 

[frontovik]

Let me know how Australia fares first.

 

[v1lla21]

Me too

I turn 23 too so that's pretty sweet.

[jb1234]

I wish it would just hurry up already. It's exhausting waiting for death.

 

[Always-honest]

Will they publicly curbstomp his face multiple times if it turns out fake?

 

[Zee_truly evil]

Hypothetically if something similar ever happens. What are the measures that can be taken to prevent it?

 

[Servbot24]

I should quit my job and enjoy my last month.

 

[DrSlek]

Leave the planet

 

[illusionspark]

At least it means I won't have to turn 30 in November.

First two posts are about turning 30 in November. I'm turning 30 in November too. Too many coincidences. I guess that means this shit is real!

 

[nekkid]

I mean, the law of averages says one of these wild theories has to be correct.

 

[Steiner84]

i wouldnt even be mad

 

[Volgarth]

I knew Godzilla's dancing would push Planet X on a collision course with Earth.

Damn you Godzilla......

 

[ErasureAcer]

Is that where Krang is from?

Too funny. Good job.

 

[Zee_truly evil]

Leave the planet

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Did this really deserve a bump?

 

[norm9]

Let me know how Australia fares first.

this is smarter than it should be.

 

[Nephtis]

Did this really deserve a bump?

Planet X certainly feels it does.

[Doctor_Thomas]

Nothing, at the moment. The only thing we could do is look at fleeing earth.

The asteroid in the impact that we suspect ended the dinosaurs was only 10-15km in diameter, that left a 180km wide and 20km deep crater. Assuming impact, it would be permanently devasting for a planet sized body. We'd probably become another asteroid belt.

If the body manged to get locked due to gravity with earth, that could also be devastating because it would change tides and even the centre of gravity between the two like, say, Pluto and Charon, meaning the barycentre no longer lies within earth, potentially enough to remove the spinning of the core which provides the magnetic shield protecting us from the harmful solar winds, if that happens, our atmosphere would be completely stripped resulting in harmful radiation hitting the planet. Could also potentially tidally lock us to the sun meaning one side would be in permanent light, one in permanent darkness if there was any impact on rotation.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Oh good, I'll be able to get a few rounds of Pokken DX in before Earth's untimely demise.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I'd like it to be real. Right now humans are just drawing out the inevitable.

 

[Jason Frost]

Would it possible that an object moving amazingly too fast could not even be detected by us because of its speed?

 

[Zee-Row]

Damn I just scored a SNES classic and i'm gonna die tomorrow. Shit sucks.

 

[OléGunner]

My birthday!
Should be a hoot.

Ay that's my birthday

We are doomsday bro's. *fistbump*

 

[kikiribu]

Trump: (chuckles) Nibi-who? Yawwwwn. Get my nukes ready.
Murica: (claps)

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

We can detect photons, a planet sized object would be detectable, but reaching that speed would be impossible.

 

[Unit 33]

Good to know, I'll cancel some bills and that dental appointment.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

No one will ever predict the end of the days. Regardless, this is a bunch of nonsense.

 

[Iriscomeback]

If a planet were this close it would be observable with the naked eye lol

 

[MattKeil]

I'd like it to be real. Right now humans are just drawing out the inevitable.

This is the dumbest sort of thing people always say in these threads. All of humanity and every other living thing on the planet doesn't deserve to be annihilated.

 

[Slayer-33]

We gon' get rekt
