    1. @robinhood 46 Well damnit Tell them to stop it! I swear I live on a particular section of road that for whatever reason compels people to toss their bud light cans. There’s no way it’s the same person. My mower is ok with chewing aluminum but the glass bottles are a bit inappropriate to mow over. I dunno. Space junk would be cool if it landed in my years though

    1. Chinese kids just pop a squat on the sidewalk and pinch one out. They then grow up to be China’s NASA. They give no effs

  1. Imagine that you’re out fishing in some of the 70% water surface of the planet and boom boom out go the lights . Does a boat destroyed by fallen space debris make a noise if nobody else sees it ?

    1. I know that a Uighur Muslim Girl makes a noise if nobody besides CCP officials sees it or causes it for that matter.

    3. @StudyLoops China is the reason why we have so much trash you fool, their products are so cheap, they fall apart so where do they go? They throw it out in a wasteland.

    4. according to the Pentagon China already has better weapons and high- technology than us!

    5. @Squid Cena you don’t have to buy it if it’s that bad… But it’s entirely your choice to throw it out instead of recycling. See the hypocrisy of racism?

    1. @Tru Forlife I was about to call you out for being racist, but I can’t really argue with that statement.

  4. Metaphor: China is like Bruce Lee and We(USA) are Chuck Norris, we already know the ending!

  5. This will only tell you what they’re told to tell and it’s not going to be the truth, their bosses won’t let th hem.

  6. Oh my god, this is it. I’ve had this recurring fear since I was 13 that I was going to die in my sleep with something falling in on me. Oh man. There is so much I wanted to do in life. Well if this is it this is it. Talk about foreshadowing. I hope I’m wrong.

    1. @Joree Anton if I die? Pfft yeah right, everything will go on without a hitch haha who am I? Not a big deal haha

  8. “This is Major Tom to Ground Control
    I’m stepping through the door
    And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
    And the stars look very different today

    Far above the world
    Planet Earth is blue
    And there’s nothing I can do…..( Space Oddity by David Bowie )
