Comment on NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense
polonius-rex@kbin.run 5 months agoyou really think ONE android could wipe out life as we know it?
“According to The Atlantic, an asteroid that weighs more than 1.7 quadrillion metric tons could sterilize Earth by raising the temperature of its water above 100°C. This asteroid would be 10–1,000 times heavier than the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs and would be between 60–96 kilometers (37–60 miles) wide.”
The Atlantic article itself is lay walled, but yes, and it’s entirely dependent on the mass of said Asteroid.
i'm not worried because an android that heavy couldn't even stand up
Id imagine it doesn’t have to, just has to sit in the right spot and wait for our orbit around the sun to smash us into it?
🤣 just visualizing the United Nations Assembly talking turns curb stomping some poor android.
Now, if we were talking about one Nokia…
Well, if you allow CELL to gobble up that one android…

Yeah, I mean it’d at least need to be two androids, right?
