Money isn't an issue. You have to make a device that is capable of ending all life on earth. What do you make?

You can't say 1 billion nukes or a gigaton nuke btw, that's too easy.

>> No.8340197

Here's my idea which is really a tweak of an already known idea. You make a large scale Cobalt Bomb (wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_Bomb) and detonate in or above a global jet stream or trade wind. That should spread enough radioactive material needed to kill every human on earth.

That would never work anon, here's what you do instead, build self-replicating robot railgun factories on the moon and throw the moon at earth. So you send up one robot it builds some solar panels, then a factory for building more robots, then it builds a railgun and shoots robots out to disperse them to other parts of the moon. After a couple replication cycles, it retargets the railguns to earth. In 25 years you could cover a quarter hemisphere of the moon with railguns.

For an extra 'fuck you' one could have the factories synch up by doing the same stuff fire flies do except with RF. It would be like rods from god, except everywhere on Earth.
