To get up and around the bend

That's very generous of you, thank you. However I refuse to share with the others

I think it depends on whether we can turn the chinese death rocket into a meme within 6 days, creating some eBay value

also here's a stupid take

did you know that the earth is 70% water, yet china managed to land a rocket on a tiny village and/or covid-19 hospital? a great victory for chinese science, the unnamed country (who can only hit water lol) must salivate with jealousy

Imagine having your subdivision turned into a charred wreck by your government's space program and the government's response is to memory hole the neighborhood so that anyone who was ever born there is now stateless chattel for the mines

Nigmaetcetera: Nov 17, 2004; Sorry guys, I'm just a donut.

The other day I got an alert on my phone that said "Massive asteroid strike in Europe, 100+ million dead". I opened it of course, with my mind racing with thoughts about how to help the refugees and the ramifications of this disaster and whatnot. It turned out it was about a supercomputer doing a simulation on the effects of an asteroid strike, and they gave it a cruel and clickbaity title.

This made me think of that for some reason.
