I get this feeling this could be used to gauge population sentiment of certain cities around the world.

Like people would want to throw an asteroid at some place they would destroy if they could.

They’d take down your IP address, and pair that with the location of impact, gauge your dislike of said location by noting the size (specificity: singular or broad) and speed (severity) of the rock.

OP is solving in 12-15 seconds. At that level the algorithms required to solve the cube require some quick analysis of the cube faces at each stage to use the more optimal moves, particularly during the F2L stage. This involves quick mental visualisation to find the corners and matching edges to complete those first layers. I would have expected alcohol to have a bigger impact.

I guess many people prefer beer.

But the point is that for Coca-Cola, almost everyone who watches the World Cup is a potential future customer. Whereas many fans will not even know who "Byju's", "Hisense" and "Wanda Group" are. Budweiser is also a prominent sponsor. Even if I were tempted by advertising to buy an American Budweiser, I wouldn't be able to find one in my supermarket.
