Rogue planet that will smash into Earth.
I think there are some Armageddon people that think they can hide in a bunker and survive it.

Nonsense, just burrow under Earth and you will be fine!

If there's anything that (most) video games have taught us, is that the ground is indestructible.

Realistically the inner Earth would probably be like jello, while the crust of the Earth gets ripped up and some of the atmosphere gets blown away and maybe the core of the Earth stopping so we don't have a protective shield and so the planet gets exposed to the especially hostile stuff from the Sun.

But according to a few people, all you need is a good bunker.

Yes, all you need is a good bunker. A good Fallout shelter, if you will.

I'm sorry...

If we ever survive something like that... lemme build myself a Zitravgrad. :lol2:

PMT/Early FT - Decopunk. Zitravgrad is a crowned republic in a planet somewhere else in the universe. The formerly wartorn nation keeps a facade of normalcy and order while enjoying the societal and cultural decadence that marks the new Roaring Twenties. The paranoid authoritarian government tries its best to uphold order in the face of uncertainty, while its people want nothing more than a breathing space. A deal that works, but maybe not in the long run. | My NS-Related Art | Hehe bad meme as flag

I'd rather have no net neutrality than a rogue planet.
Also, irrelevant! We have more pressing matters, like the END OF THE WORLD.

The rogue planet wouldn't even have to be crashing into us, or maybe even be just past Pluto, to fuck our shit up. So yes, I think we can live more without Net Neutrality than with a rogue planet.

Nibiru...... I've heard that name before.... What exactly is it?

It's an Akkadian term having to do with crossings, transitions, rivers, ferries, that sort of thing. It also is used in Babylonian astronomy to refer to the equinox and the objects associated with it. I never did understand what the priests of Marduk were yammering about but, after all, Akkadians, you know. :roll:

An Azerbaijani named Zecharia Sitchin came up with the idea that Nibiru is some giant planet that passes the Earth every 3600 years or so and causes catastrophes. He came up with this by translating certain Sumerian and Babylonian astronomy texts in, shall we say, a creative manner.

I mean, if it's a giant planet we should be able to see it, if Nibiru actually exists.
