Gold I think

New fear unlocked. Thanks!

Not remotely beautiful.

The "study" attributes an inherent correlation between the best picture nominees and the decline of the box office. But it's not accounting for the greater box office trend - the rise of blockbusters.

The relationship between Metacritic and Box Office inverts around 2004, it looks like. You know what came out the previous year? Return of the King. (Though I think Spider-man in 2002 is a more relevant data point.) Since then, there's been a bigger focus at the box office on spectacle-driven films, which are rarely going to be Best Picture types. And that goes even further in the past decade with the shift to streaming; last year's winner made $1.6 million at the box office because it was straight to Apple+.

This says nothing about the movies quality. The only possible conclusion to draw from here - and that's if you take the data at face value - is that good movies aren't making as much money, not that Best Pictures are getting worse.

If each order took 20 minutes (aggressive guess) it would be about $28/hr pre-tax before any costs.

Yeah I tried to give LA a bath….

I want tsunami upgrade first though.

Now how many of those are actually owned by the same parent companies?

This is great! Nice work.

Did anybody NOT go right for the largest, most dense asteroid at the highest velocity at a 90° angle, and aim it directly at:

• their ex
• boss
• that politician
• school
• that other city/state/country
• a particular billionaire
• rival sports team
• wherever you could obliterate the most people …

Poverty in America is 12k and under per year. At least you beat America’s definition of poverty.

Also where is rent $5k for the year?

I love how it starts the map on top of New York City. As the obvious place anyone would want to test dropping an asteroid on

This is so cool. Dark fun, but luckily less close to home than Plague inc. I love this.

Fun and terrifying! Are you collecting lat/long data on most popular impact locations?

Chickfila at 11AM kinda screams office lunch order.

I tried to wake up Yellowstone's supervolcano. I have no idea how that would work and don't really want to think about it beyond the cheesy scifi movie level.

I have just spent a half hour on this, this is so fun, I love the fact that you have different compositions of asteroids available. Didn’t realize until like 7 asteroids in.

Good point. This test needs to be randomized to avoid the confounding factors.

My friends all learned this and became pretty good at it.

One time, we were drunk in college near the end of the night. One of my friends does blast thru a rubiks cube and says "I can use this to tell how drunk i am". Not 5 minutes later he threw up. XD

Interesting to see that sport event are the best places to sell anything but sport related products

Adidas is the only sponsor who “make sense” I mean directly related to … sport
