FIRST! Hah ive always wanted to do that. -Someone From Pluto{{citation needed}} {{unsigned ip|129.222.195.118|19:20, 29 June 2026}}<br />

I must be getting ''old''; when I was a kid, the Chicxulub impact was said to have been only 65 million years ago, and now it's 66?! --[[User:Itub|Itub]] ([[User talk:Itub|talk]]) 21:25, 29 June 2026 (UTC)<br />
:No! (But [[:Category:Comics to make one feel old|these]] will also make you feel old)(Seriously, though, probably just different estimation.)

Just use a colon before the "Category:" bit to make it a visible link instead of an invisible 'category membership', which is probably what you didn't intend. And a [http://whatever link text] has a space between the URL and the link text. Just remove again if you really don't want to say it! --><br />

Can anyone think of a reason to link this to the What-If comic "Cassini"? And how do we do that on this platform? Oh, wow. Hey, on Cassini-Earth, it looks like the Chicxulub crater (21°24′N 89°30′W) would happen near Tunguska (60°54′11″N 101°54′35″E). Or not.

:You might link to it with <code><nowiki>{{what if|10|something like this}}</nowiki></code>, using the {{template|what if}} template in lowercase, which looks {{what if|10|something like this}} and sends you to the appropriate bit of the table on this site's catalogue page. Or else <code><nowiki>{{What If|10|something like that}}</nowiki></code>, using {{template|What If}} template in TitleCase, which looks {{What If|10|something like that}} and sends you to the actual what-if site original.<br />
:It would all depend on what your preference is. (Going to the former gives you a further jumping-off point to going to the latter, but also to any youtube videos noted to be about it, etc.):I'm not actually convinced that there's any reason to link to {{What If|10}}, in this case, but that's how you would do it, FYI. Knock yourself out, or just remember enough about it to work it out from scratch the next time you really think you ought to.

::Thanks! Anyway, it looks like Cassini's Chicxulub event would happen somewhere on the 1100-km stretch between Tunguska and Norilsk. I haven't figured out the math yet, just compared maps. [[Special:Contributions/158.173.67.61|158.173.67.61]] 01:07, 30 June 2026 (UTC)<br />

Absurd?? You're laughing. Dinosaurs could be back ''any century now'' and you're laughing. --[[Special:Contributions/37.19.210.20|37.19.210.20]] 03:42, 30 June 2026 (UTC)</div>37.19.210.20
