GET LEARNT

It looks so very...wise.

The description: "Another funny psyop: They send bombers - like Rockwell B-1 Lancer and Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk - right into Soviet Union's space area and just before entering it, make them change direction and come home."

In the 60s we called that a Turkey Shoot. We would fly a whole squadron of planes toward the Russian border to see where their response interceptors would be launched from. And from time to time they did exactly the same thing to us.

The Bomb

As an old nuke guy, I still have an interest in the awesome power.

This is the Tzar Bomba. It is now put on display in a museum.

The Tzar Bomba had a theoretical maximum yield of around 100 megatons. The test-bomb was scaled down to 50 megatons.
This video is an animation, not the real footage.
There are no really good videos of the Tzar Bomba, they are either blurry or cut into 100 different short clips.
Someone made this animation a few years ago, based on the actual footage, so we can see how it would have looked.

The shockwave from this bomb was felt or heard all around the world.
Imagine that - someone explodes a bomb at the opposite side of Earth, and you get to feel the shockwave from it. That is insane!
The shockwave was detected going around the world 3 times! THREE FUCKING TIMES!

After that incident, the Soviet engineers decided to disarm the full-scale bomb.

This was supposed to be an attempt to photograph the event, but the extreme light ruined it.

I didn't know that they placed live pigs close to the blasts to see what would happen.

A baby can swim before it can walk.

This is in part due to a phenomenon called the mammalian dive reflex. When a human (or other vertebrates) becomes submerged their heart rate slows, they stop breathing, and their blood pressure increases all automatically.

As a former member of the Leopards Eating People's Faces party until it became extremist, I can tell you that the Let's Not Eat Anyone's Face party will get nowhere unless it elects a candidate who wants leopards to eat *some* people's faces.
