Let me tell you about the magnitude 18.4 earthquake that will hit California in the year 9,905 CE, causing the deaths of ninety billion people.

Well, if my calculations are correct* a magnitude 18.4 quake would release the same energy as about 60 sextillion tons of TNT or the equivalent of more than ten Earths :goonsay:

Ninety billion fatalities seems actually a bit low then tbh, considering that by 9,900 CE about three hundred fantastillion humans will live here, not counting robots and genetically engineered dog people
_{_{*they almost certainly aren't}}

The Earth went :sonia:

I counted the fatalities from Earth splitting in two and one half hitting the Moon and the other half hitting Mars

It should also include ~~catchy~~ names for internal separatist movements imo, like, um, 'Scotfree' for Scotland, 'Bay-Bye' for Bavaria or 'Cat-alone-ia' :v:

If I had to single out one as most egregious, it's gotta be "Madriddance"

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

That�s 6.7% of c.

At that speed, projectiles would have kinetic energy equal to half of their mass in TNT.

I've been clicking through that wiki and still have no idea why it exists, also why they use a background that makes most of it illegible.

This thread isn't even showcasing the weirdest part of that wiki: the thousands of normal, plausible storms that people made up. Like, sure, I can understand why someone would want to write about a silly impossible ultra-hurricane, but what possesses someone to write descriptions and statistics of dozens of mundane hurricanes?
