Not Your Average Joe
Who needs 2,500,000,000,000 tons of antimatter to destroy the planet Earth when you have coffee?
While it would take the LHC hundreds of years to produce that amount of the most explosive substance possible, this 12oz cup I made in under five minutes might be just as powerful.
If I make a mistake with the cinnamon, the release of energy would be so great, Earth would become a second asteroid belt around the Sun.
I hope they name it after me.
I should also note that I have erred in all 26 dimensions in the known universe. Good luck escaping a worse fate.
