Hell. One hit in 2020 and forked up humanity forever. Unless Trump gets back in.

[Raymann]

Graham Hancock was saying this 20 years ago.

It gave us cleanser.

Generations since worked the Comet mines.

Great, we’ll need a global effort to tax you to pay for the basic needs of the climate refugees who hate your country. Because now it will be Instant Climate Change when the SMOD arrives.

In other news, grass may sometimes be green though scientists say more research is necessary.

The more I read these types of articles the more mistakes I find in their efforts to cover up their knowledge of antediluvian culture. Dont want to let that out of the bag, theres a couple of generations of grants to milk before we get there.

Maybe the comet brought the pandemic....................

Does it matter? Maybe I should be losing sleep over this and don’t know it.

Very much so!

There's a pretty good set of evidence that the Earth experiences a periodic global catastrophe about once every 12,000 years...
