Mock all you want. Someday we get hit. We just don’t know when.
No point in panicking, but it’s not a joke either.

Your right.
One of these days the scientists will be right. We just gotta hope it’s not in our lifetime.
Yes, it’s a joke. For sure, some day we’ll get hit. And soon, in astronomical terms. But “soon” may mean 25,000 years or more. The odds of us getting hit on any given day are infinitessimally small.
Precisely. Ask the dinosaurs if you don’t believe it.
Agreed.
I always wonder about that “no chance of hitting the Earth”. There is SOME chance that an object several days out or more could be redirected slightly by some other object too small or dark to see. It’s very unlikely, but it also doesn’t take much of a bump or push when an object is along way away... That’s why diverting a threatening object is not quite as often imagined — by acting early, we DON”T have to try to blow it up when it is really close...
That “spooky” one is big enough to make quite a dent, somewhere.
