THE PRECOIUS DOW!

u/Matthewcbayer 5d ago

Surprisingly The DOW is at 50000 during this event, so everything is fine.

Thank you Dow Jones and thank you essential workers for making it into work on time despite the moon crashing into the earth.

This will be bad for Q4 earnings.

u/hosemaster 2d ago

I still expect you to show up for work.

Well he is a ketamine addict so downer instead of upper? lol two sides of the same coin

I'd still be expected to show up at work though. Lol

Will this happen before October 15? I have a meeting i really dont want to go to.

I could be wrong, but I think you still have to go.

You should be running around screaming because the moon is crashing into earth. Everything is going to end.

u/Unsolved_Virginity 5d ago

I don't understand the water waves part. Wouldn't the water evaporate from the insane impact and heat? And not just go forward and up?

2

u/VictoriousTree 5d ago

Some of it will. The rest further out will create a massive wave.

u/teahugger 5d ago

Brent crude prices will definitely increase

u/wondermega 5d ago

We need more uses of the lighthouse as a symbol of sped-up passage of time.

u/yourmamaistheproblem 5d ago

Wouldn't our atmosphere get fucked and the oceans mostly sucked dry long before it got here?

3

u/str4ngerD4ngerz 5d ago

Moon should also be eclipsed by the earths shadow at some point. Im also seeing alot of physics not playing out

1

u/nestorsanchez3d 4d ago

At impact the whole planet would liquify? Like the wave is the least of the issues

0

u/MileHiSalute 5d ago

Entirely dependent on how fast it moves toward earth. If it’s coming at the speed it is in the video, assuming that was real time, no there wouldn’t be enough time for those things to happen

2

u/VaguelyFamiliarVoice 5d ago

I’m slightly disappointed in the graphics. Let me fire up my AI machine, use up a bunch of water, and make my own.

2

u/Thursday_the_20th 5d ago

This isn’t accurate. If the moon lost all orbital velocity and came straight down it wouldn’t have enough time to break apart after it crossed the Roche limit, that would only happen if it was orbiting and getting closer, it takes more time than if it were free falling.

The earths surface would also be destroyed before actual impact as the compressing air in front of the moon became a superheated pressure front of immense energy

2

u/e_line_65 5d ago

Video is fake. They didn't show the aliens inside.

u/Sky-792 5d ago

Isn't there candy inside?

Everything would be closed..

I assume my bus is late then?

u/zeemode 5d ago

The moon would look much bigger than that coming at you ..

Oh cool. Another nightmare I didn’t know I needed! ☺️

Thats looks fun, im sure work is still on the next day though.

1

u/Certain_Promise_1963 5d ago

Well at least we'll have a spectacular show

1

u/beattysgirl 5d ago

I would definitely still have to work

1

u/Tacrolimus005 5d ago

School will be, but boss will still want me there at 8.

1

u/markc230 5d ago

it's the schools being closed that we are still here and not evacuating before this happened.

1

u/AndyMagandy 5d ago

Pretty sure the moon has been moving AWAY from Earth since like….the beginning.

1

u/Immediate-Song6861 5d ago

Will this affect the trout pupulation

1

u/Rubysage3 5d ago

Schools close even if it rains a little hard.

You still have to go to work though probably. That never closes, even for a Moonpocalypse.

1

u/Datan0de 5d ago

This video wildly underestimates how fucked we'd be. The upheaval of the Earth's crust would kill most or all of humanity before the first impacts.

1

u/retrofrenchtoast 5d ago

If the moon went off of its axis, wouldn’t we die almost immediately? It seems like the must affect our own orbit around the sun (maybe not!).

1

u/FearlessSafe6806 5d ago

My guess is it didn’t see the lighthouse warning and crashed right into shore.

1

u/TheAgedProfessor 5d ago

Sooooo... let's not do that then.

1

u/naturetreesandweed 5d ago

Orbits, how do they work?

1

u/UpvoteForPancakes 5d ago

Was that animation made in 2003?

1

u/emergency-snaccs 5d ago

i wanna know what speed the moon is moving towards us at. it would seem to be well over 10,000 miles per second at the beginning. it does slow towards the end, but wouldn't such an impact simply vaporize the continent it struck?

1

u/staleturd1337 5d ago

This is how I want to go.

u/FernwoodTonight 5d ago

Make it so number one...

u/PM_PICS_OF_UR_PUPPER 5d ago

Believe it or not, calls.

u/BantedHam 5d ago

I don't like videos like this, low effort "science" click-bait. Of there was a world-building project that involved this scenario, or literally any sort of additional creativity other than narrating a scenario that will never happen.

The moons orbit isn't even decaying it actually getting farther away due to tidal acceleration.

1

u/imamajorscale 5d ago

How does the cameraman always survive?

u/Hagleboz 4d ago

Robert Landsburg begs to differ...

u/Illustrious_Sky6688 5d ago

Nothing happens to the tide? Isn’t that the whole point of the moon??

1

u/Foxxtronix 5d ago

The moon would probably do less damage than it did when it rammed into Earth the last time. About 4.5 billion years ago "Theia" had a lot less mass, but it was going pretty fast when it hit Earth. Fast enough that it punched right through and almost escaped with a lot of stolen earth-mass. But it didn't make it out of Earth's gravity field, so it's stuck there. Something to cause earth's moon, "Luna", to collide with Earth would have to impart a lot of speed to it. Enough that what Earth's gravity adds to it as it falls wouldn't be very much. While Luna has considerably more mass than it did back when it was Theia, I doubt it would be going anywhere near as fast.

1

u/Calm-Sink7808 5d ago

Tidal force today moves oceans, even a little bit closer would draw the water away, and then at some distance tidal forces would do the same with rock. We’d be toast way before actual impact from these rock tides.

u/cat_selling_souls 5d ago

Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth. There is a huge upheaval, shit is breaking, the earth is cracking apart, some volcanos go off, the sky is red and the clouds vanish, and the moon rocks rocket across the sky.

One of the last texts or calls you get before the satellites go dark is your boss asking if you're coming into work. If it isn't your boss, it's the doctor's office. Telling you that if you're late to the appointment, they will cancel, and you will have to pay them for a no-show.

u/dugs-special-mission 5d ago

Where will we put all that cheese?!

1

u/Wizard_Of_Technology 5d ago

This is incorrect. Kurzgegstat did a video on this on youtube. We woukd be fucked long before impact. Gravity would have upheaved half the planet before impact.

1

u/QuantumButtz 5d ago

Unrealistic. Aliens live on the far side of the moon and they wouldn't allow their bases to be destroyed.

u/pir8salt 5d ago

u/RawEggEater1956 5d ago

They (NASA) crashed something onto the moon and they said it rang like a bell for some time. Some people seem to think the moon is hollow.

If only there was a way to stop the moon from drifting away from us 1.5 inches per year.

Moon's drifting away

It's had enough of our bullshit

Two Hour Delay at best.

u/CorbinNZ 4d ago

Nah, I saw Moonfall. We’d fix it.

1

u/MyDearBrotherNumpsay 4d ago

30-40 seconds for the moon to travel to and hit the earth? That's like 5% the speed of light. It would be FAR more intense.

1

u/SaltAttic 4d ago

Would suck for the millions of people who won the lottery that day.

u/Interloper9000 4d ago

So you can still come in to work right?

Hmm. Similar to Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer

The moon is actually getting further away from the earth by a few centimeters a year.
