There’s not much we can do long term. The pipes are being fixed but it’ll take until at least 2020 to fix them all. Plus that’s a government contract you can’t really donate to. Most people already have filters but even then there’s not much to help because the filters only work for so long and people here don’t trust them anyway

Okay

There was a Tumblr con in August of 2014 and it was such a fucking train wreck. I was one of the main people reporting on it as it was happening to be exact!

It was a scam. The con was illegally held. Their only attraction was a ball pit, that someone later peed in. They showed Pacific Rim there and charged for it, which was hella illegal. They let minors into BDSM and other mature panels. No one that was invited showed up, like a specific example was that they said some of the top people from WTNV were coming and then never ‘showed up’ but the reality was they never agreed to anyway, and that the organizers just lied to them. There was little/no security. I was able to talk to some of the panel hosts when this was happening and they had no idea what was going on, there was very little wristbanding to filter out minors from adults. I was able to talk to one of the organizers and she literally got kicked out before the con started because she was trying to whistleblow that it was a scam. The remaining 3 organizers ended up ditching the con about halfway through with thousands in ticket sales. Tumblr was the butt of the internet for MONTHS.

There’s actually a good chance they won’t collide at all. If they were to collide, though, they’d just merge into each other, creating something along the lines of a hypermassive black hole. Such an event would be extremely violent. Even when simulating this event on computers, we don’t fully understand it. However, we do know that a black hole merger would produce tremendous energy and send massive ripples through the space-time fabric of the universe. These ripples are called gravitational waves!
