>The celestial body, with an estimated diameter of between 40 and 90 meters, has a 2% chance of colliding with our planet. That's enough of a chance to study it closely and consider strategies.
How could /sci/ save the world?

Actual /sci/ posters with a high enough IQ to "save the world" deliberately would not save it simply because the majority of their realities are a miserable existence and their minds no longer think about heckin soience but money and make decisions to that end. Most work all week only to rack their brains on economizing decisions to saving a few bucks here and there. The few who financially escaped the need for work wouldn't save it either out of spite. Salvation from calamity is a very midwit thing that has its origin in religion. The end goal of saving is never questioned. Saving souls. Saving the planet. Saving for retirement. In the end, all of these people would have been better off without burdening their limited minds with abstract goals for future humanity and future self and it's just a petty attempt to validate their otherwise lowly lots not realizing by focusing on these abstractions they avoid taking measures to improve life and society in the here and now.

by directing more asteroids to strike the earth and depopulate several continents.

I hadn't realized how much doom had become /sci/. /sci/ was the hope board on 4chan, talking about scientific progress, sharing tips on studying, improving us with supplements.
