Why is my apartment at the epicenter of this crater?

I’m sure you know what you’ve done.

Well, a bit disappointing. Changing the impact angle in this model doesn’t affect the damage in the way that computational fluid dynamics suggests it should. I’ve seen some interesting calculations of the effects of shallow-angle impacts. Maybe I’ll dig some up …wait, what’s that curious light in the sky?

I see what you did there.

Actually that phrasing was a coincidence.

Interestingly where I live is on the edge of the rim of an ancient asteroid strike that affects the local geography to this day, namely the water table.

The earth’s destruction you say? Never occurred to me, I only thought of destroying certain parts of Ireland thoroughly while staying alive myself.

Funny how it goes.

This simulator where edible anuses destroy earth is getting a lot of traction of late

Ha, funny! I do, too. We have a crater park, and the local hillside is still scattered with crystal rocks created during the impact. Local “emerald mountain” owes its existence to the strike. A view from the “rim” reveals a 5-mile wide bowl.

The impact was only “proved” about 20 years ago. It is mostly eroded out because it was 84 million YA.

I used live on the rim of a crater. Now, I just sail over it from time to time.

Hmmm, what is needed to destroy, no more, no less, than Mar-A-Lago…

Funnily enough Drogheda was one place I tried to obliterate entirely off the face of the earth. So yeah, a bit maybe?
