What a disgusting clickbait title 🤮. The comet is not "racing towards Earth" any more than say Mars is (and Mars comes closer to Earth than this comet will). Maybe some day we'll live in a world where journalists do not sensationalize headlines with a mix of Deep Impact and The Ninth Gate, but today is not that day.
- On Mander, fighting the clickbait pop science menace is every citizen's duty. Are you doing your part?
  
  I think they are. I checked the comments before clicking on the article and that comment prevented me from rewarding that clickbaiter.
- "City-size" at least they didn't measure in football fields.
- Well shit. So this comet isn't bringing any jobs I guess.
- Most science news and YT science channels are nothing but clickbait shit unfortunately. Would be probably my favorite topic but I just can't stand its presentation.
