I was doing some private experiments with the Large Hadron Collider in my spare time and accidentally created a singularity. Now it's getting bigger. What are the specific dangers of an enlarging singularity?

It’s black and it kind of shimmers. I feel strangely attracted to it.

lol nahhhhh its just a hole.
I think if it shimmers you should be good. If I remember A Brief History of Time correctly light can’t escape a black hole.
Congratulations, you just became God. ^_^ Go write a book and demand 15% of the income of everyone that eventually evolves within your singularity.
Funny question. But seriously, if a singularity was really created, it would vanish almost instantly in a poof of Hawking radiation.
You should be very worried. And of course now that we know some energy is actually thrown out from a singularity, yours could indeed be shimmering.
You would not have to worry. Because you would probably be dead.
I wouldn’t worry. Singularities are our friends. Once we get attracted to them, we can’t let go.
I hate it when that happens.
Quick! Put it in one of those USPS “If It Fits, It Ships” boxes and mail it to China.
Supposedly there is no shipping weight limit.
Hey George, never seen you around. I’m the janitor over there and the same thing happened to me just a couple of days ago. You should be fine as long as you’ve lived a life without regrets.
Don’t worry. Tiny singularities “evaporate” on their own.
@GeorgeGee That’s great, though calling it a mini big bang is a little misleading.
I like the term “pocket singularity” better :D
I’m new here, but isn’t an enlarging singularity an oxymoron? I thought a singularity was dimensionless. Perhaps it is only dimensionless on the inside, and on the outside is an event horizon. Do all singularities have gravity?
