      I’d really just like to know so I can stop eating healthfully and have unprotected sex with abandon.

    Just s reminder, coming from me, a citizen journalist: some people are definitely going to die on Halloween, whether by asteroid or any number of other factors.

      Just not by razor blades in apples. Also no deaths because of giving out toothbrushes as a treat, which should be instant Death Penalty.

      How about small boxes of raisins? Can we still kill people for that?

    Didn’t the apocalypse/rapture happen a few times recently? Nobody left here but us sinners by now. Asteroids? Pffft.

      Three interesting things about that, which were recently brought up by my pastor. First, it’s primarily only American Christians who believe in a rapture. Second, the idea of it is only 150 years old dating back to some Scottish clergy and popularized in America by a Texas (?) pastor who wrote a book about it.

      But the main thing, is that it’s pretty clear that actually, you WANT to be one of those “left behind” because when the others get taken, it isn’t a good thing. When Jesus talked about some people being taken and others left, he didn’t at first say which was preferable. When his guys asked him where the people were being taken. The answer was something along the lines of, “look where the vultures and corpses are, that’s where they’ll be”. Common thought is that he was predicting the Roman seige of Jerusalem in 70AD. (Actually it wasn’t written until after the seige had already happened, so it may all just be putting words in his mouth.)

    There is no asteroid threatening earth.

    Clearly NASA is on Big Halloween Candy’s payroll.

    This is from one of the articles in Hamilton’s link above - I think this single sentence is the most terrifying [emphasis mine]:

    Until October 10, the space agency didn’t know about 2015 TB145

      Curious to know if that means other people and or agencies knew about it first.

      That’s a good question. The CNN article doesn’t really say, but it seems to imply that NASA’s “Near Earth Object Office” would be the main group monitoring this sort of thing, and no one else picked up on it either.

    If an asteroid ever hits Earth, it better fall on top of my head, because I would last maybe ten minutes in a post-apocalypse scenario tbh. I am well aware of my status as ‘one of the first to go’.

      Get to your nearest coastline and you’ll be one of the first to go. Personally, I plan on eating my fellow survivors and staying alive as long as possible.

      My thoughts exactly. It pisses me off that the cannibals are universally vilified in post apocalyptic fiction. Eating people and stealing their supplies is like the absolute smartest move.

    I suspect that if in fact there was a Doomsday asteroid heading our way we would likely be seeing a flurry of ‘secret’ launches as some last ditch effort to deflect the asteroid. Then again, it could have been decided it’s just too late, nothing can be done. In that case I think it’s likely the message would be ‘move along.. nothing to worry about’ simply to prevent a worldwide panic.

    See any world leaders, NASA scientists, etc. suddenly moving to a different part of the world?

      I wonder if the worlds combined nuclear arsenal launched simulatenously would be enough to destroy if not deter the path of a large asteroid.
