‘Devil’ comet 3 times bigger than Mount Everest explodes, now heading toward Earth
"Well it's about time for The Reboot to finally show up and do its thing," said the roach to his wife. "Those damn humans with their almighty attitude and endless cans of bug spray are just TOO MUCH to tolerate and put up with anymore. Finally it's OUR time! Roaches everywhere REJOICE!"

The wife responds, "That's nice dear. Now calm down and eat your supper of spoiled scraps like a good little husband, else you might wind yourself up to the point of bursting one of the 13 chambers of your heart again. Remember what a mess you made the last time that happened?"

Dude, it all depends on the definition of "towards". It's not a lie if it's basically true. Towards is basically "in the direction of" and in astronomical terms, they are right.
And that title really sells the clicks and its ALL about the clicks.

Never said it was a lie. Just really bad "reporting".


LOVE the quote marks around reporting. And sorry if I came off as an attack to you and not the stupid use of a vague word to sell clicks.
