Not everything is funny or cute. If these headlines were released on April Fools Day, people would probably be more likely to dismiss them as fake. Some of these titles would cause serious problems regardless of when released, but others in this list are fake.

The article would probably be in the typical fashion of, “Today, scientists have discovered a massive meteor headed towards Earth. Although scientists are predicting a Pacific Ocean splashdown, the resulting tsunami and ash would do terrifying damage.

This would be awful because some would think this article is either April Fools Day joke, think it’s fake news, or panic. Earth impact stories will be scary and appearing on April Fools Day would make people more skeptical of the authenticity.

However, the risks of making contact could be disastrous for humanity with the advanced civilization wiping out humanity.

This sounds like a headline that a grade schooler might laugh at. And to some, it might be extremely funny. But the scary part isn’t Uranus, but the rogue black hole that could then wreak the solar system in other ways.
