The Peace Clock in Hiroshima, the top counter is the number of days since the bombing of the city, and the lower counter is the number of days since the latest known nuclear detonation. (files.catbox.moe)

Wait there was a nuclear test less than a year ago?

Edit: Wikipedia says the most recent test was on 2017/09/03, ~~making this photo taken on 2018/04/01~~

Edit 2: I found the article this photo is from with more context. TL:DR it was reset back in 2022 bc the US conducted two clandestine tests.

I wouldn’t call the US tests “clandestine”. They’re subcritical, meaning they don’t generate any nuclear yield. They also report when they do these in the annual NNSA reports.

I was gonna say, if clandestine, how on clock?

They learned of it after it happened per the article.
