So im watching dbz abridged for the first time and im laughing my ass off but something just struck me, what if the moon got blown up? im too lazy to do the research so i needs your helps peoples!
What if the moon got blown to pieces?

That basically sums it up. The tides would be fucked, the seasons and weather messed up, civilization would collapse, and we'd be buried beneath doomsayers yelling out "I told you so!"spectrenihlus said:
Assuming the debree doesn't hit Earth and kill everything on the surface, the absence of the moon would mean no more tides. I'm pretty sure wind and rain are also influenced at least in part by ocean movements, which would also reduce. Yeah, we'd be screwed...
The whales would be pissed off, blame us and call their friends from outer space to nuke us. If it happens, [user]Neonbob[/user] is our only hope.
A preemptive strike is the only real option!

wouldn't the remaining fragments crash down to earth as well? In other words: VERY LARGE ASTEROIDS.
Not to contradict you or anything but how many doomsayers say the moon will blow up?deadman91 said:
if you're talking about the whole dying things then yeah but i don't think doomsayers are really that specific to go into details about how everyone is going to die.
Its more than stabilizing the climate, a large "friendly moon" stabilizes the axis of the earth, keeping our north and south poles in position. I change of less then 1/2 of a degree turned the sahara from a fertile grassland into the worlds largest desert. Not to mention that all the debris from the moon its self would distroy all spacecraft including anything based on satalites. Kiss modern life goodbye if you even survived at all.Grayjack said:
We would be pretty screwed, I bet.
First of all, the debris. I do not hold any degrees in physics, but it seems probable that if an explosion doesn't completely turn 100% of Moon to dust, at least some pieces will be drawn towards Earth, and then it's a classic asteroid disaster movie stuff.
Second of all, Moon plays an important role when it comes to the waves or some shit. I don't know what kind of damage it would do if the cycle that's been going on for, well, millions of years, would be suddenly altered, but I'd wager it'd fuck up a lot of stuff.
Then, I assume that the light the Moon reflects unto Earth might play an important role when it comes to some species in the wild. Plenty of animals lead a night life, and while having less lighting at night would not affect us humans because our reliance on electricity can provide light whenever we need it, I think at least some species might get screwed up. Sure, many animals also have amazing hearing and sense of smell, but it's safe to assume that they at least partially rely on light to see things. And without the moon at night, it might be diminished somewhat severely.
But then again, plenty of animals can see in the dark better then we do. but that might still screw some unlucky species.

I'm a hope now? Hm...I can deal with that, I suppose.Redlin5 said:
Muahaahaa! And then I might have more backing, and less annoying people getting in the way of my hobby!Sleekgiant said:
OT: I don't know the specifics of the events that would occur following the moon going kablooey, but I can say this: bad stuff would happen.
My imagined worst case scenario is that the sudden lack of gravity provided by the moon would alter the Earth's orbit enough to fuck us over horribly.
I do mean the whole people dying part, not the moon exploding. We'd be trying to survive the whole collapsing environment thing, It'd be bloody annoying having someone over your shoulder whining about how 'no one listened, and who's laughing now?' And you know that they'll survive long enough to be annoying little shits because they've preparing for all the possible apocalypses for a large part of their lives.Purplefood1 said:

Well, the tides would be screwed up, destabilizing ocean currents and ultimately vastly changing Earth's climate in a most likely negative way for those who survived the debris raining down onto the earth with the fury of armageddon.
I've always tried to get into anything that mentions whales, dear boy.Sleekgiant said:You are getting predictable old chapNeonbob said:
