    Love how the token lady they asked is just like "I would kill my husband, given the chance."

      really says so much about the life of women in the 50's. if I was expected to be a subservient housewife maybe I'd want a nuke as well 🤢

      If we set it off on the other side of the earth, earth will go ZOOOOOM and escape the solar system!

    It's fucking wild to me that in 1954 you could print a person's face, name, full address and their stance on nuclear armageddon in the newspaper and get away with it

      People back then would actually expect replies to be sent to their home address when their opinions were published in the newspapers.

      It is a feature not a bug.

    Harold: grill pilled

    Dick: normal person

    Joyce: victim of patriarchy

    Frank: fast forward to climate change

    Eugene: probably would listen to Joe Rogan

    Eugene is proof that ignorance and stupidity are different things. If I knew nothing about physics I'd think that too 😂

      hypothetically speaking, how much force would we need to accomplish his idea tho...like I'm sure with nuclear energy theres enough material on this planet. would be a great way to go out.

      Eugene is getting entirely too much hate in this thread. A sufficiently powerful bomb detonated in the location he suggests might indeed cause the earth to fall into the sun.

      The only issue is that the bomb needs to be equivalent to 6.3285*10^17 megatons of TNT(yes, I looked this up) which is a smidge bigger than the largest nuke ever tested.

      But since the Hbomb was a new invention, they didn’t know how big it was going to be.

      So in summary, step off of my man Eugene.

        A better idea would be to launch it behind the earth to give us a boost in speed, increasing our orbit, so that we'd be further away from the sun, in order to counteract global warming

      I never understood why old timey newspapers would do that, just put people's addresses in the paper. What was the purpose? So that some random crank can send you a letter or peek in your windows?

    Y'all laughing at Eugene, but look me dead in the eyes and tell me you wouldn't rather be having that conversation with the average chud. Go ahead and lie to me.
