2: It's the end of the world
Thank you for listening to Talky Taffy, where we take a bite out of a titillating topic and savor it.
This week, we take a look at different scenarios that could end the world. We start with the obvious ones like an asteroid or nuclear war, and then we dip into some more obscure endings to give you something to keep you up at night.
You can watch us live on Twitch every other Wednesday at 5:30 PM central time. We're also on Twitter, YouTube, and Discord!
Our current charity push is for Carbon 180. Help plan for the future and remove carbon dioxide from our atmosphere here!
