What If Cthulhu Was Real?

from What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities · host What If

The night is dark and stormy at the beach. A crowd prays to the thunder in the skies. All hail the god of chaos, who sleeps no more. Cthulhu, the great, green, bringer of madness rises! A colossal shadow emerges from the ocean. Wielding tentacles, wings, and eyes that reach deep into your soul and your mind. If Cthulhu, the terrifying demi-god from classic literature, was here, who would it attack first? What would happen when you looked at it? And why would you bring out the big guns?
