So, How Far Along Is Everyone On Their Doomsday Device?

I have a lot of left over aluminum foil that I have been collecting as part of the reflector dish. The reflected light is concentrated on a used snowglobe which focuses all the energy into a bunch of cardboard tubes lined with acrylic paper. The sheer power created will be enough to produce a laser capable of cutting the earth in half! All I need is some plutonium to power the kitchen microwave that I am using as a processor and a day that isn't cloudy.

You know, being a Ninja I have found doomsday devices to be silly. Who the hell wants to blow up the world anyhow? And ruling the world through fear of turning on said doomsday device, besides being a gigantic waste of resources, leads to a scenario where the thing accidentally goes off. So, why waste all that plutonium when you can simply trick the world into believing you have a doomsday device and that you are insane enough to use it? Just as effective while being cost effective.

Seriously, the only reason to build a doomsday device is to want to destroy the world, in which case you should not own a doomsday device.

Mine is crowd sourced. Seven billion or so humans on the planet provide more than enough oomph for a really destructive Doomsday Device, and, even better, I don't have to stick my head out and let folks know that they are doing my work for me.

Oh. Oh. Now they do. Ooops.

Mines a work in progress but you'll recognise when you see it

No no, silly. My doomsday device doesn't blow up the planet, it only cuts it in half! For my everyday life I find it makes for a great conversation starter!

Neighbor: SJ, how's progress on the Dooms Day device?

Me: I just got my shipment of Elmers Glue in so I can start the process of attaching the capacitors to the camparators.

Neighbor: Nice!

...Or we can have doomsday devices when there is more than one world. I mean, when there are multiple planets we can blow some of them to Sith right?

My doomsday device consists of a super adaptive micro arthropod. It reproduces at exponential rates, flies in swarms of billions and eats any biomass available. They will feed, then reproduce, then continue to feed till they completely ruin any planet they are released in. A can of those fuckers can clean a planet in about a month! And they clean up after themselves too, after they are done with everything alive they eat themselves and die, leaving an inhabitable wasteland.

Then why did you call it your 'doomsday device'?

Because planet probably won't do very well cut in half.

Now it should be okay, gravity will keep the planet together.

Lots of magma is gonna leak out though.

Mine keeps breaking, but I'll get it right one of these days.

Well, my analogy is thus:

Why burn bridges when you can slowly loosen the screws day-by-day?

I'd be finished if college and pesky Forces of Justice didn't keep getting in the way. As it is, I have to diver my Spark towards finding new uses for bicycle parts.

I already initiated the heat death of the universe.

...

...it's pretty slow going, though.

Making good progress. Uploaded a new batch of avatars a couple of days ago, and already have material for a new batch for after Christmas. I've also got a special scheme scheduled for advent, just like last year. While the growth rate will be slow due to the Calendar, I aim to make amends for that before the end of the year.

...of course, my calculations are still unclear on how many avatars are necessary to bring about the end of the world, but I do not see that as a reason not to keep going.

Is this a serious question?

Am I missing something here?

My doomsday device is abstract in nature as it requires political machinations and a little bit of Xanatos Gambit.

Miss Grey will see you tomorrow.

After I finish my Gloominator 3000....inator, I will take over the Tri-State Area! AHAHAHAHAHA!

I can't get the popomatic bubble on mine to pop.

That's probably because you haven't worked out the Redstone right. It's most likely causing a feedback loop that's locking the entire process in stasis.

Jean Grey?

CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!!!

Mine is currently in the process of destroying other universes just to make sure it works. You don't want a doomsday villain as a disgruntled customer, lemme tell you....

You know that moon of Jupiter that looks like the Death Star?

That's it.
