I can’t believe Fat Electrician didn’t point out that the General of the 2nd Army (The one who ordered the digging and detonation of the mines killing 10,000 Germans) didn’t include what he said. General Sir Charles Harington, Chief of Staff of the Second Army, told the press, "Gentlemen, I don't know whether we are going to make history tomorrow, but at any rate we shall change geography".

We had a 3 hour drive for my husband to get new CT scans to see how is cancer is doing, my husband is an Air Force vet so the first episode we ever heard was with the WWII veterans. We haven’t been able to stop lol. This episode made us laugh from start to finish. I laughed about the Midwest thing because we live in ND in a very small town and when we have to go to the oncologist it’s a city and my road rage kicks in.

The manhole cover being blasted to outer space is hilarious. If the online calculator crap is accurate; if that manhole cover struck something at 120,000 mph, it would be hitting an object with the force equivalent to 300 tons of TNT.

[@Psycorde]

[@driftertank]

Just for giggles I put the numbers quoted for the manhole cover into a calculator. I used ft/lbf because I was thinking in terms of muzzle energy... A 2k lb steel object moving at 150k mph would have a muzzle energy just over 1,500,000,000,000 ft/lbf. One-and-a-half TRILLION foot-pounds of muzzle energy...

My grandpa was one of the marines in the early 50’s that was out there for the nuclear testing. I still have pictures of him with the Geiger counter, being shown how to use it. He said they were told to dig fox holes and wait for the blast wave to pass and then stand up and take readings. He said they were all fine but when they got back to camp that night all of their hair fell out. His doctor at home after he got out said he would never have kids.

That 2000lb manhole cover is not only the first manmade object to leave earth, its the first to leave our star system as well. It's estimated velocity (something like 12-15% above) puts it over Sol's escape velocity. the test was at 3:30pm-3:35pm local time in nevada, meaning its about 40-ish degrees from flying straight into the sun so it should gain some speed as it goes by Sol and be even faster when it comes out the other side and flies off into interstellar space. Which not only means that it's the first manmade object to go into space but also our first manmade object to go interstellar, way before voyager too.

[@A_Sad_Adult]

[@iKvetch558]

First man made object into space was by the Nazis in 1944 with a V-2 suborbital flight...and the US did a lot of suborbital flights into space, including the first animals in space and the first mammal in space. But assuming the manhole cover did survive the friction and did not hit anything or fall into any other gravitational fields, it could have been the first object to leave the solar system

[@donoimdono2702]

as someone who grew up in the "duck and cover" era: even in 1st & 2nd grade we knew it doesn't protect against radiation nor fallout. we weren't *that* naive. we knew it was to protect us from flying debris when the shockwave hits and after effects when other structural failures occur. we also did duck & cover drills for earthquakes.

The segment about the Mexican construction workers had me rolling. My first construction job was a 700k sq. ft. Site between two buildings. On my first day, I showed up and less than 1/4 of the first roof had been finished. The guy training me was from Pakistan and he just points up at the roof and goes “the Mexicans will be here tomorrow to take over finishing the roofs, they will be done by the end of the week.” I kid you not, I was in awe. The most casual group of dudes showed up and finished the first building’s roof in about two and a half days. Their lunch break was a Coke and cold cut sandwiches and they’d crush that in about two minutes and go right back to it. Absolutely incredible, awesome guys, too.

The place where the Tsar Bomba detonated is called Tunguska. They defoliated more vegetation in a second than the US did in 10 years in Vietnam. What Electrician is referring to is the Lochnagar Crater in Verdun. Formerly known as "Hill 60", both the Brits and the Germans were digging tunnels under it and piling up explosives for a year and a half. The Brits heard the Germans were digging a tunnel and doing the same, so they detonated prematurely. The resulting explosion could be seen from a hundred miles away and it shattered windows in Bristol , which is 350 miles away. I went there in 2017 and the crater is still like a hundred feet deep.

Love the content guys! About the nuclear tests, my inner physics nerd is wanting to pointing out that there are two different types of radiation sources from a nuclear detonation. Disclaimer: I am not an expert and have no formal education in nuclear physics. I'm simply a hobbyist with far too much time on my hands, and a passion for the science behind anything nuclear. The first source of radiation is a large flux of neutrons from the initial fission reaction, as well as the "nuclear shrapnel" consisting of mostly beta and gamma rays. If detonated near the surface, this flux of neutrons is what causes the majority of the radioactive fallout because neutron radiation transmutes elements in the soil (or whatever is near ground zero) into their radioactive isotopes by smacking another neutron onto them. As far as nuclear shrapnel, in the atmosphere beta radiation only travels a few feet before smacking an air molecule and dissipating. I'll err on the side of caution here and say gamma rays travel a mile or two and dissipate by either smacking an air molecule or smacking the ground. These gamma rays are powerful and damaging, but once they dissipate they are gone completely. They dissipate a few microseconds after the explosion since they travel near the speed of light. The second type of exposure you're going to get is from the radioactive fallout isotopes. The short-lived isotopes that Nic was referring to do indeed dissipate in a few days to weeks and are the most radioactive, but the longer lived isotopes are still quite dangerous for many months or years after a detonation since they continuously emit radiation. This danger is not necessarily going to be from direct exposure, but rather because the long lived isotopes bioaccumulate in your body and continuously damage your organs. Your skin blocks a portion of all radiation, but inside your body even alpha radiation can be extremely damaging. One of the long lived isotopes is Cesium¹³⁷, and it's a bone seeker because your body mistakes it for calcium. It sticks around there killing your bone marrow and immune system. If a nuclear device is detonated away from the ground, this fallout is minimal and is the primary reason why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are completely safe to live in today. Nuclear shrapnel is primarily what the five subjects (plus cameraman lol) at ground zero were exposed to. It was a very minimal dose (considering what was possible), and because they didn't stick around and wait for the fallout products to settle to the ground, they had no additional exposure and therefore only had a very minor increased risk of cancer. I hope you find this information useful!

[@DFVaun]

Plus the nuclear explosion they were under was pretty small. The AIR-2 Genie was a short range nuclear intercept munition with one of the smallest tactical nuclear warheads the US ever issued iirc.

On July 17 1955 lighting set one of the two off and some poor cow was vaporized in Belgium, near Flanders if you want to look it up. We know that one is left, undetonated somewhere out there, to the terror of all the pasture grazing livestock.

Not just Tsar bomba but the soviet superweapon programme was end to end "Not as planned". They put a machine gun on a satellite and forgot about recoil, tried building an earthquake machine by strapping space rockets together and concreting them in place facing downward, tried learning remote viewing and force choking from Buddhist monks as well as accidentally getting haunted.

Nick... thank you for explaining the IT issues I face on a daily basis. I appreciate you for that more than before.

[@plotholedetective4166]

Nick is correct that the material of the manhole would react very differently to the mixed composition of a meteor. Being made of composite material is what generally causes atmospheric breakup as the conglomerated materials have different boiling points causing uneven out gassing that leads to critical failure of the structure. Steel doesn't have that problem, while its true that the friction would probably partially melt the manhole at that speed there would probably be enough held together to make it past the atmosphere and thusly the friction. I don't believe it would still resemble a manhole cover at all but it probably did make it to space. Either way as it entered the upper atmosphere it would have been a brilliant green blue fireball.

And that's assuming it was actually an alloy that is technically steel... We have alloys available that a could generically be called "steel" that have a specially formulated high nickel content that are made specially for high temperature environments.

On the "no one knowing who superman is" thing, you can literally see this during the original Reeves movies. Reeves transitions from Clark to Kal-El, body language wise, on screen after Lois "shoots" him to prove he's superman. It's more than the glasses, it's the posture, mannerisms, confidence, the voice. Wearing a muscle suit and a big red cape helps as well. People only remember the big details, not the small ones, especially during big, chaotic events like the ones where he arrives and catches a helicopter or flatpacks a building.

The island the Tsar Bomba blew up on was Novoya Zemalya(spelling) and was shattering windows in Poland and tore roofs off in Finland and Sweden with the shockwave. Other fun facts: the Russian nylon hoisery industry was disrupted to make the parachute for it, the bomber crew almost got knocked out of the sky by the explosion, it was designed to be a 100 megaton bomb but was half loaded for the test, and was one of the cleanest nukes ever. It used like 92 percent of itself in the airburst. Also the Tunguska event was wiiiiiild. Imagine being a Siberian native living and vibing in nature and then the fucking sky explodes.

Nick, the 66' Impala is my favorite Impala A lot of people dont know that the impala changed in some way every year from 1964-1968 so each year is very unique, the way you can tell the 65-68s is by the rear tail lights and rear bumper, the 66' has rectangular taillights on the tail panel. I had a 66' 4-Door 327 car end up having a first gen 350ci from a 67-69 Camaro Wasn't worth shit back then because it was a four door but it had a complete open green house meaning the B pillar rolled down with the rear window so it was a super clean look.

That seems to be the key, having prior experience with the technology in it's infancy and keeping up with it. Most elderly people at this point were adults with children and not far off from retirement when computers hit the mainstream and became an inseperable part of life for the next generation. They didn't have to deal with computers, their children did. And if they had issues their children could help them with it. However now that their children have moved out to have children of their own they're suddenly without the support they had to figure out and contextualize technology they've never had to understand. Just look at children now who use tablets, most of them don't even know how to use a keyboard and mouse or gaming controller because their entire understanding and experience with technology revolves around a touch screen. Just imagine in 10-20 years another group of young men sitting around a table complaining about these guys who are now old and grey and don't know how to use the heads-up holographic display of the NetMet™ helmet to read the inputs directly from your brain to surf the NeuralNet™ because these Millenials and Zoomers only ever had to use smart phones. If you've ever seen the movie Demolition Man, it's literally the Three Seashells gag. Technology marches on, faster than most can handle. 60 years ago most people had to remember maybe a handful of actually importqnt information to get through life. Now I have a composition book filled front to back with emails and passwords to keep track of for personal and business reasons, I can only imagine what it'll look like in the future.

My Dad was in the Marines and he was one of the ones who went into ground zero at desert 4 with a Geiger counter. He learned 2 things 1 a six pack of beer fit perfectly in the Geiger counter case, and there was no radiation cloud or any radiation in the air seconds after the dust settled from the blast and the only radiation was found in objects the blast touched and if you didn't touch anything you didn't get radiation. The media reported exactly the opposite and so did many so called scientists than what the marines with Geiger counters found. Also my dad found out about some of his fellow Marines claiming they got cancer from being at desert 4 ground zero and he checked there names and said I remember these guys there the ones who broke the rules and touched stuff and put rocks in there pockets

I had to do some research for a Military device the Co I worked for was making. It had some requirements. I was able to request a book from a local Univ Library on Nuke Weapons effects. If you're not incinerated, or have a building fall on you, you didn't get a lethal prompt dose. You do need to protect yourself from any fallout, but the really hard radiation decays pretty quickly, and after maybe a day or two, you just need to keep it off of your skin,(and don't eat anything with it on it) paper is enough to block alpha and beta radiation.
