No matter what scenario you present the great people of the Internet with, they will discover a meme to match it. And the International Asteroid Day 2021 is no diverse. The day was set aside to commemorate the biggest recorded asteroid effect that took location close to the Tunguska River in remote Russian Siberia. This year marks the 113th anniversary of the occurrence. It was in December 2016 that the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring June 30 as the International Asteroid Day.
The resolution stated the day would be set aside to “observe each year at the international level the anniversary of the Tunguska impact over Siberia, June 30, 1908, and to raise public awareness about the asteroid impact hazard.” And if you believed that this particularly scientifically-driven day had failed to capture the imagination of the meme-makers on social media, you are incorrect. Several social media platforms are filled with memes to mark the occasion.
On leading of our list is this meme exactly where the user appears to voice what a lot of are feeling at the finish of a actually complicated 18-month period that was marred by a pandemic and tragedies across the world and continues to spell uncertainty.
At this point you gotta wonder, what did the dinosaurs do to deserve an asteroid that we have not completed but? pic.twitter.com/JQY7cm15DZ

Another user mentioned that although we are celebrating the day, no one would be pleased to see an asteroid coming their way. Man has got a point, does not he?
This is the exceptional day when you will not be significantly pleased to see one of these coming towards you!#AsteroidDay

Another user identified the whole occasion to be fairly “chilling and ominous”.
‘Annual international event’ in no way sounded more chilling and ominous.#AsteroidDaypic.twitter.com/mWtvuRyjt5
