As a chaotic evil super genius, I love chaos. Chaos is what everything will return to, it’s so inevitable that the second law of thermodynamics describes exactly that.
My newest idea is reversing Earth’s magnetic field. The chaos that would ensue would have catastrophic consequences... (for you of course, not for me).

This might not be the easiest plan to put into practice but for my supercomputer, aka SC, it’s child’s play. So, let’s reverse the poles!

The magnetic field of the Earth is generated in the outer core by the turbulent flows of liquid iron and nickel. Above Earth’s surface, the internal magnetic field and the solar wind are in balance, forming the magnetosphere which protects Earth and everything in its orbit from solar and cosmic radiation. The magnetic field is obviously important - so I'll destroy it! ❤️

The first thing that would happen if the poles were flipped is compass needles pointing in the opposite direction. The reversal of the magnetic poles would not have much of an impact on human life… HA! As if I hadn’t seen that coming. The real threat to humanity would be the chaos due to blackouts. Satellites would stop working, you can forget about the internet and when a solar storm hits the weakened magnetosphere, a geomagnetic storm is released causing failures on power grids! You wouldn’t last a day.

Doom and dismay to all humans!

Your fav diabolical virus,
Ent

P.S.: I love you. Wait, that came out wrong... I love killing you.
