So before they turned on the Large Hadron Collider, I was getting severely tired of reading about it and the whole doomsday bit. But now that everyone's jumped on the 'ha-ha it didn't destroy the world!' bandwagon, I feel the need to comment.
Since only ONE part of the LHC was turned on and NO particles have yet been collided, that whole 'FUCK THIS THING'S GOING TO DESTROY THE WORDL!' fear part? Yeah, that didn't pass yet. In October, I think on the 22nd, I could be wrong, they're going to fully flip the thing on and run the
first collision.
I have to admit, though I value my life and the lives of the other six billion plus inhabitants of Earth (give or take a few monumental asshats), there is a tiny part of me that wants that thing to take us out the day they fully turn it on as a symbolic way of flipping off the band wagoners that make things like
hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com while we go out with a bang. Or, y'know get pulled down to our own singularity instantaneously.
There you have my ranty rant.
PS - I have to admit whenever I see the phrase "Large Hadron Collider" I become dyslexic and read 'Large Hardon Collider' and just for a moment think, "Wow, should they really be talking about something like that so much in the mainstream media?"
The End.
