Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

Some comparisons:
The Beirut explosion was up to around 1,100 Tons TNT equivalent of explosive power.
The nuke dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) was 15,000 Tons TNT-equivalent of explosive power.
The MOAB (authorized to be used in Afghanistan by Trump) was 11 Tons TNT-equivalent of explosive power.
The first thermonuclear bomb (hydrogen bomb) used in the Ivy Mike test was 10,400,000 Tons TNT-equivalent of explosive power.
The biggest thermonuclear bomb ever detonated (Tsar Bomba) was 50,000,000 Tons TNT-equivalent of explosive power.
The nukes dropped on Japan were little b-word bombs compared to what Burgerworld developed later

The lab I’m supposed to work at has likely developed far worse than the tsar bomba. The explosive features could probably destroy half of Japan nowadays. It’s more precision based but I wouldn’t doubt one of the research groups isn’t just making a big enough explosion.

You're a nuclear scientist now?

No, it’s just a lab that works on the same campus as nuclear scientists. I won’t work with them but we do have a shared cafeteria

What’s your clearance level

Pretty low. My NDA actually prohibits saying but it’s enough to get into my lab, use the shuttle and get food. I’m not permitted into any of the chem labs unless requested.

I’ve lived a pretty interesting life. I am admittedly running out of lore though so you probably won’t get much more.

Tsar bomba was supposed to be 100 MT but (and this might be bullshit) it was reduced so as to give the bomber dropping it enough time to fly away from its blast radius.

Makes sense. Bombers in WW2 already had to do a loop-de-loop when launching the bomb because their planes weren't fast enough to get out of the way otherwise

Yeah, and like normal bombs you don't calculate the explosive yield from the shit that didn't explode
Still a lil' b-word bomb compared to thermonuclear devices, which also had a great deal of material that didn't detonate.

The material is still being produced and detonated.
