Lol at the people who chose Vatican City as their character in Golden Eye. I know you're just doing this because we gave you poo poo for choosing Odd job last round, but your hit box is literally bigger than the map.

I can't decide if the graph improved or weakened by the mushroom clouds being laughing clowns.

I won first place for submitting to a small literary journal a short story about how the dinosaurs died because there were all these Tsar Bombas and they were leaking radiation everywhere so they sent them back in time because they had nowhere else to put them. I won a hundred bux!

Laughing clowns aside, the graph isn't *that* bad. It does seem to visually represent data accurately/honestly, even if its sensational and not the easiest to read. Unless I'm missing something of course.

Using area to compare numbers is generally a bad idea and can be misleading - for example, the Tsar Bomba explosion on the graph is both about 5 times taller and 5 times wider than the Ivy Mike one, making it look about 25 times bigger overall.

In actual fact, all else being equal the volume of the explosion should be proportional to the energy (in tons TNT), so the heights should all be proportional to the the cube root of the energy. Tsar Bomba should only by 1.7 times as tall as Ivy Mike, or about 15 times as tall as Little Boy. And that's still assuming size of explosion is proportional to size of mushroom cloud, which isn't true either. Remember that the two tiny blips in the corner are bombs that devastated entire cities. This chart then implies that the Tsar Bomba could've devastated an area the size of Colorado. That simply isn't the case.

This chart then implies that the Tsar Bomba could've devastated an area the size of Colorado. That simply isn't the case. I mean, if you dropped the Bomba on the Air Force Academy, the thermal radiation would give third degree burns to pretty much half the population of Colorado and first or second degree burns to the other half, so, you know.

Yeah, the tsar Bomba could cause third-degree burns 60+ miles away to anyone out in the open. That's over 11 thousand square miles. Or about 30,000 square kilometers. That's a pretty big chunk of real estate.

That’s because the Front Range Corridor is essentially one sprawly city though.

If you need a chatbot to make a bar graph i think you should probably leave interpretation of statistics to someone else. The numbers might still be right but he hasn't bothered to include a source by the look of it so who knows

Yeah that "1971-2012 technological stagnation" sure sucked. At least we can all use our mainframe computers to talk to each other on ARPANET about how to fix our teletype monitors.

Look, either the US stopped technological growth of domestic production or some random market downturn in the 70s allowed some malevolent proponent of feudalism to establish a societal framework in the 80s that returned capital to a few lords hiding productive growth from the normal person. Which seems more likely?

All this really does is show how loving stupid Meyers Briggs is. What "INTP" on the planet is a loving essentialist anti-empiricist? That's misunderstanding even what the people who think MBPI is real think.
