      Could still hit the moon and knock it into a collision course with Earth which would be much worse.

      (I think I’m kidding. There’s no way it can meaningfully alter the moon’s orbit. Right?)

      I mean..c’mon now, I can’t be the only one who kinda, little bit, wishes it would hit us right?

      Holy moly this was such a bad way to depict this data. A scatter plot on one axis, and a twinned histogram on the other

      If you want to know of it impacts, do what we do in the mountains when the weather channels try to predict snow!

      I Witness Weather becomes I Witness Impact! 👍🤪🤣

      Interestingly, if you just bundle all the earlier “sub prime” probabilities into the one average data point, you get close to the current data point.
