  • When Trump fucks up do you call him a fatty?

    When a black judge says women belong in the kitchen do you say “go back to the plantation!”

    A woman supports Trump. “Shut up cumdumpster, go make me sandwich if you want to be trad”

    That guy brought up something said HERE ON THIS WEBSITE. Someone HERE threw out redneck for living in the sticks. You’re fucking dumb if you think people need to write an essay on what they think of a topic before they can point out issues in discourse.

    See that? I don’t need to prove anything to call you out. I don’t need to call out racism to call out dumb posts.

    Before you reply, make sure to write an essay about why it’s ok to insult unrelated groups of people in order to hurt an individual. At least follow your own weird rules.






  • The internal explosive may malfunction from an external stimuli, such as a massive bomb detonation near it.

    One-point safety sets cutoffs for how much yield can be produced from a malfunction. That’s for countries experienced with nukes who had time to fix their catastrophic failures.

    Considering there’s many ways to design nukes, different countries have different technological capabilities, the answer isn’t a squeaky clean “No.” when someone asks if nukes can explode when bombed. Answers should have more gradation. And they shouldn’t imply a nuke in Iran wouldn’t catastrophically fail because sophisticated designs from countries allowed to have nukes have ironed out the wrinkles. Iran is smart and capable like any other country but they’re being badly stressed and their context is different than the traditional nuclear powers.


  • Yes. The people in this thread are wrong. Bombing a nuke can set it off, just not fully.

    A nuke may require many precise detonations to function as intended. When everything goes right it will release it’s full power.

    When an external explosion hits the nuke, only some material should activate, causing a relatively tiny explosion. Shouldn’t be any real fallout.

    This assumes the designers specifically made the nuke to not go off from one explosion. There’s no rule that says you need to make nukes safe. People shouldn’t dismiss a partial detonation of a nuke like it’s nothing.

    Edit: look up “one-point safety.” Safer nukes are designed so very little happens when there’s eg an explosion. If nukes didn’t go off when bombed this wouldn’t be a thing.
