Odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth go up again (3.1)

Odds go up because we want it to hit earth? Or because of science?
science
Science wants it to hit Earth, confirmed!
Why not both?!
placebo effect or no-cebo effect?
Don't look up...
George Carlin may finally get his way, and I can no longer muster a strong objection to his viewpoint.
This asteroid is way too small to end the human race, at most it could wipe out a single city.
So you are saying there's a chance...
Afaik if it does hit, itll hit the pacific ocean or maybe africa or south America. None of the good places for it to hit
You folks are really killing my hopes here. Next thing I know you'll tell me Pluto isn't a planet.
Letβs goooo
Just when you thought the chaos of 2020 was done
This sucks to me. I don't want to know about it hitting us, I just want it to hit us like a nice bullet to the back of the skull.
Just in case, here's the WHO page on suicide prevention.
I personnally don't wanna die in meteor impact rather than some thousands or millions of people I guess
I really struggle to understand this kind of suicidality where you want to take a bunch of innocent people with you.
I really hope it impacts. Going to watch that (from a safe distance of course) would truly be a once in a lifetime experience. A deflection mission successfully redirecting it would be pretty cool too.
