Similar with Y2K
it was only a nothingburger because it was taken seriously, and funded well. But the narrative is sometimes, "yeah lol it was a dud."
All this hysteria over nuclear weapons is overblown. We've known how to build them for 75 years yet there hasn't been a single one detonated on inhabited American soil. They're harmless
You even dropped a few accidentally and nothing happened! Complete duds these things really
Yeah but not all people live on American soil...
It's the American tradition to ignore that
WTF?
Unless that was sarcasm that I missed... 100's of weapons have been tested on US soil..
Not sure what you mean.
The US was inhabited last I checked.
Pretty sure no human lived at the Trinity test site or anywhere else in the test sites where weapons were detonated, especially at the moment of detonation. And I'm pretty sure none have since moved onto those sites either. Hence "inhabited". It's not like we nuked cities and towns.
Right... Gotcha. So you're a 'change the goalposts to keep making me right as the argument and evidence changes' kinda person.
No point engaging with your type.
Sounds like you're the goalposts-mover here, shipmate, and it seems the rest of the readers here agree with me. Maybe this place ain't your venue.
