not unless April fools spreads way past April 1st

[Mr. Peanuts]

2% is not that high

It is high for the probability of an event that we will all die.

I'm using the risk assessment slogan: risk = probability * impact.

Probability = chance that it will happen
Impact = damage done if the event becomes a reality

Low-ish probability, but fucking high impact = High risk.

Right, but it's already stated that it wouldn't be an armageddon-type event. Lots of damage, yes, but not an extinction event.

[Mr. Peanuts]

Lets hope it hits some country no one cares about.

Discuss.

but even if it did hit somewhere else, wouldnt a bunch of dust fly up into our atmosphere covering the earth and blocking the sun and wouldnt our earth go all cold and stuff and wouldnt we all die and stuff?

[Arikel]
