1. We've already been hit by asteroid Trump.

2. Sadly true.

3. Might want to change the URL.... to strip out....

The main URL is just

https://www.boredpanda.com/size-of-asteroids-alvaro-gracia-montoya

I don't know what the rest does.... but I'm always suspicious about what's added to URL and whether it permits tracking.

5. Not Sure What You're Referring To, As I Copied It As It Was

but thank you for posting what you consider a better link

6. this part....

It's all this add on that is suspicious. It contains a unique identifier and no one bothers doing that unless the sharing of the URL is being tracked.

It's like when you get a spam email... and the link given contains some long string of alphanumerics designed to see if an address they're sending to is valid when they respond.

8. I Can't See That It Hurts To Change It

as it still works

4. Cool. Very, very cool. And thanks.

7. "the most dangerous are the small ones" ...

“Although some are very large, the most dangerous are the small ones because they are more difficult to detect,” he [Alvaro] said.

It's that mass X velocity problem -- it doesn't take a large mass if the velocity is high.
