A single prehistoric nuclear bomb developed by nomads living in the steppes of the North American subcontinent killed over 100,000 people. What are these people on?
A what? Genuinely what are you referring to with nomads using a nuke? Is this some kind of attempt to mock the amerikkkans that I'm just too dumb to get?
I hate explaining jokes since it's not funny, but

Steppe - Hanford site where the nuclear bomb was first created and tested is a steppe.
Nomad - Scientists traveled from all over the country to the Hanford site and returned back months or years later, which is a nomadic migratory pattern.
I'm just using words that colonizers use to describe native cultures in a description of the Manhattan Project. Quite accurately, in fact. That's the joke haha...
To be fair, America is a barbarian tribe fucking around and breaking everything. The absolute lowest amount of cultural, scientific, and social output possible compared to other hegemons throughout history. Well, with the exception of the Brits but I mentioned Americans already so I'm repeating myself.

Yeah that's why I liked your joke so much!
Ah. So it's a healing rituals of the nacirema type thing, that I just lack the context of. Clever, unlike me
