Earthquake, Meteor? WTF happened????

I was out and about today and I didn’t notice anything crazy. Any of yinz?

Several members of my family around town were tall texting about it, but I was busy cooking

I thought it was thunder. Scary stuff to think about what is, effectively, an airburst bomb going off with no way to tell when, where, or if it will even hit and do damage. At least if another country launches nukes we'll have some kind of heads up.


Unless the warning is Fake News I guess...

The official word it was a meteor,

Wouldn’t we know if it was one beforehand?

Anything larger than and including a city-killer, we likely know about every single one that might hit us in the next 100 years.


Something smaller though, enough to wreck a city block, or a single home if you're unlucky, those things are incredibly tiny, relatively speaking, to everything else out there. And if we do happen to track one, the chance of it burning up before it does any damage is very high, too.


I think the chances of you getting injured from a meteor is much, much lower than getting hit by lightning.. but hey, if you get hit, go play the lottery

Well, there are so many satellites up there you would think one would spot it coming. Not that one could do anything about it. At least say “DUCK”!!!!!

Fuck every one of those satellites for being too hung over from New Years celebrations to do their jobs and warn us about the meteors. Lazy, drunken pricks.

Fuckin satellites

This bodes well for 2022

Actually, I'm with you on that one. Time to start that shit over.

Can't any fucking posts around here be non-political? JFC

Though, Betty White died at 99 on the 31st... I suppose the big guy upstairs didn't want to start 2022 off poorly... but ended 2021 bad

Heard something, just thought it was left over fireworks or somebody taking a shot at something(common where I live).
