- Foamator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52#14 Fire ze missiles!
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/end.php - ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -3/+53No Vogons? Buried as inaccurate ;)
- Rorrim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+47"Number of times the Earth has been destroyed: 0"
Yes, I would say that is accurate. - robdiggity, on 10/12/2007, -2/+45...sharks with frickin laser beams...
- z00k, on 10/12/2007, -9/+51*Waits for someone to say the world is only 2 - 6,000 Years old*
- tatltat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+43#13 countdown in hatch goes to zero
- schoate09, on 10/12/2007, -7/+46***** the RIAA.
- Azimuth1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37Worst navigation ever.
- yevkasem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29"Creating a microscopic black hole is tricky, since one needs a reasonable amount of neutronium, but may possibly be achievable by jamming large numbers of atomic nuclei together until they stick. This is left as an exercise to the reader."
i dugg it for this line alone. - Jemulov, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30#12 - Have Erwin Schroedinger put it in his box, and isolate it from any external interaction. With some sort of existence erasing thing triggered by a Geiger counter and some radioactive isotope.
Probability: 50% assuming we can Isolate the entire planet from space and time. - corevette, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30Link straight to the top 10: http://www.livescience.com/technology/10ways_destroyearth-10.html
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26The earth will be okay. Humanity might suffer from a climate disaster though.
- gnychis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20#0 Piss off Chuck Norris
... someone had to eventually drop a Chuck Norris joke when destruction is the topic - JPamplin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Oh great - now you've given the terrorists (or aliens... or alien terrorists) all they need to destroy the world! Way to go, genius! ;-)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24#11 piss off north korea
#12 piss off the USA - OhROFL, on 10/12/2007, -7/+27#14. Wait for Rosie O'Donnell to get hungry. REALLY hungry.
- xerus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24/sarcasm
...I hope? - HairyFotr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I think I heard that about 10 000 000 000 times already...
- annonimality, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19Your Bible needs to be buried for being inaccurate.
- Raz0rblades, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14***** bees! i will punch every bee in the face!
- mrbenns, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15any list which includes the sentence
"It also suggests that the volume of space enclosed by a light bulb contains enough vacuum energy to boil every ocean in the world."
has gotta be worth a read - pile0nades, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I know what to use for number 3. Pluto. Fire it at Earth at 250 km/s, watch the collision and say "Now who's not a planet anymore?".
- sephiroth4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12wtf!?! My scroll wheel just fell off!
- Nar1117, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Most people choose not to use scientific notation because 1.0^20 isnt nearly as intimidating as: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000.
- SamSim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12LiveScience's version was created with my help but it's very out of date now - at least two of the methods have been debunked. Also, you know, eleven totally unnecessary hyperlinks to see the whole thing. That sucks. Yeah, http://qntm.org/destroy is the original master version - it's much longer and more up to date. I'm working on a book-length version, which should be better still.
Man, you have a lot of creationists on this site, eh? Anyway, it doesn't matter how old the Earth is, so much as how young it's going to die ;) - JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Strange, this look just like this site: http://qntm.org/destroy

Which has been around for a long time... - hiscity, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Or from a coded perspective...
- reboot it
- del earth
- alter the uni(verse) subroutine
- inhibit the earth refresh
- recycle earth
- reformat the galaxy
- shutdown -n earth
- crash earth
- de-rez earth
- unspeak earth - phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10for every bee you don't eat, I'll eat 3
- zachblume, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Multiple by "i" and try again.
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Sweet, all of those "earliest execution times" are subtracted by one.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Actually, You forgot Poland!
- ricksite, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13When I was in grade school I was told acid rain was going to destroy the earth. Imagine my disappointment in still being here.
- Masterbaiter, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Only few would appreciate this sort of humor on digg these days.. too many normal people here unfortunately..
- DuckButtah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9No it's not evolutionary theory, it's carbon-dating. And yes, evolution is science, because it began with evidence and led to a conclusion.
Intelligent design began with a desired conclusion and sought 'evidence' to support the theory enough to satisfy individuals who wanted to believe it anyhow.
I really hope that was sarcasm. People who really believe this planet has only been around for 6000 aren't just ignorant, they're willfully ignorant. And what's 'willfully ignorant' a Euphamism for? That's right: 'Stupid'. - dracostimpy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+16...but Global Warming!! Al Gore had a chart proving earth will be destroyed in 20 years from the CO2!!!!
- jpjandrade, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Or we can just digg it up until it dies from digg effect...
- fweepa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7i saw this on slashdot over a year ago. tried to locate it again but to no avail :( thanks for the post!
- ubunterd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8That page needs more ads. I can *almost* read the story.
- pirotess, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Drive SUVs and don't recycle. If we do that long enough the planet's fever might eventually turn fatal.
- razrielle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6or Alien terrorist ninjas......
- logicalnoise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5destroying the planet is one thing. Eviscerating all human life from the planet is another.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6You forgot the Grey Goo!
- toppgun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5some of us havent seen it yet
- kurtu5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Well sure, because 1.0^20 is 1.
Suprised you got 10^1 diggs. - Herrkaufmann, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Good God, use exponential notation man!
- Workage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"If you don't blast it hard enough, the pieces will fall back together again under mutual gravitational attraction, and Earth, like the liquid metal Terminator, will reform from its shattered shards. You have to blow the Earth up hard enough to overcome that attraction." Earth = 1... Ballistic Comets = 0
- Kazbaeden, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000"
Scientific notation was invented for a reason. - lordsteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4#16 - let aliens build a hyperspace by-pass through our space as they have been planning for hundreds of years.
. . . really - the plans have been on display in Alpha Century for a while now. It's not my fault if you can't bother to keep up with local business. -
