Destroy the World!

[spacebrick3]

How this forum game works is someone starts off with something small (e.g., "A faucet becomes blocked"), and people escalate it until the world is destroyed. Example:

User 1: A faucet becomes blocked.

User 2: This causes the pressure in the faucet to rise, which makes it explode.

User 3: The explosion damages an oil pipe, which also ruptures

And so on.

I'll start: A glass of water spills.

It gets the computer wet and corrupts your best ksp save...

[Kerbalstar]

But the Computer was connected to the internet and it destroys everything with the letters k, s, or p in it...

[Matuchkin]

As a result, mass-depression ravages the earth.

[spacebrick3]

The Osterhagen keys are used, and a series of nuclear explosions blow up the Earth. Time to start over.

A potato sprouts.

[astrokerb]

An insane dictator trips on the potato, making them angry.

The dictator orders a war on America.

[cubinator]

From tripping on a potato? Geez. Heck, the potato was probably in *googles world's largest potato-growing country* China! Oh well, I guess I'll go with it.

America sends literally ALL their troops to that dictator's country, leaving none to deal with the problems in the rest of the world.

[0111narwhalz]

A very angry man goes on a rampage through Kansas with an assortment of automatic weapons and a tank bought on credit. Somehow.

[TheSealBrigade]

An American civil war starts and the military isn't there to fight.

[cubinator]

The aforementioned insane dictator starts dropping bombs on the US, further complicating matters. Other countries start picking sides to fight on.

[TheSealBrigade]

WW3 starts. The war ends after 10 years of fighting, and 60%  of the population was destroyed. It was so devastating, the Illuminati decided to take over the world and rule over the remaining humans; lizard people being the majority rule. (I don't even know what I just typed) 

And to think it was all started by a potato!

[Delfinus]

The remaining humans go to the remains of NASA, and launch a mission to redirect several asteroids towards Earth to destroy the Illuminati, destroying them aswell as all life on Earth. Time to start over!

[0111narwhalz]

You bunch are going too fast. Only 9 steps?

Anyway, the first event in the next apocalypse:
An avocado goes squidgy.

[TheSealBrigade]

The president is taking a stroll, but he slips on the avocado and falls of a cliff.

[cubinator]

The President isn't killed, but he broke his back badly so he's paralyzed from the waist down.

[0111narwhalz]

A surgeon tries to operate on the President, but fails to repair the injury. Flawless record crushed, the surgeon retreats to a life of hermit-ness. Hermitude? Whatever.

[cubinator]

The President feels bad for the surgeon, and attempts to honor his work with a speech.

[CAKE99]

At the speech he had a glass of water with poison in it, he died.

[TheSealBrigade]

Jeez, @CAKE99. America is shocked! The Vice President Joe Biden then steps in and claims he was the culprit.

[Just Jim]

Why not...

Biden, now President, and also serving a life sentence for murder, orders the complete annihilation of all avocado plants in the US...

One day, millions of people go out with flamethrowers and burn all the avocados. People are not happy with this, and they start a "Avocado Rights" campaign.

[max_creative]

Then a giant fresvacado crushes the people.

[Andem]

In order to stop this strange escelation of events, the UN orders the United States hand over their nukes in case of massive nuclear accidents.
