Oh hey, I thought of a question that doesn't require spoilers for answers! I think! And is pretty important: What KIND of nuclear weapons did America use? Like... what scale? Because I just read this article (and I'm pretty much pissing myself because that shit is SCARY) and... apparently now they have an "H-Bomb" which is 1000 times more powerful than the original "A-Bomb" and they have BIGGER H-Bombs and idk, I have no idea about the physics or anything but it's scaring the hell out of me AND an "N-Bomb" which apparently isn't as powerful as the H-Bomb except that it is because the radiation it creates kills all living beings in a much larger radius whether they are in a shelter or NOT. (An A-bomb doesn't do that, actually if I've got it right, the A-bomb actually releases relatively little radiation, much much less than Chernobyl, and if you make it to shelter, are not too close to the ground zero and survive the fallout afterwards, you actually have a fair change to make it. You might get a cancer but with treatment you can survive cancer too. With the N-bomb, you'd just be dead. It's like. It's built to just kill people, not weapons or military bases or material, people. Seriously, why does this thing exist? What if a sociopath got a hold of those things? I don't even.... WHY?)

... I'm not sure if I recommend researching nuclear weapons. orz It's terribly interesting and mind-blowing but it's also very, very, VERY scary. Except for the depleted uranium weapons; at least for me I was too busy being horrified out of my wits to be actually scared, not because of their destructiveness since they aren't even close to the others, but because they are being used. Today. Legally. And nobody is doing anything about it. *doesn't even know what to do with this information, is just totally blown*
