As maritime said, it was only half of what it could be, and as Kaffohrt said, it would probably cause a global fallout due to radioactive cloud blowing up high into stratosphere almost as high as mesosphere (50 km or around 30 miles). But there was also the fear of lead designers that it would burn the Earths atmosphere, hydrogen and oxygen in it. After the test of Tsar bomba, one of the designers (Andrej Saharov) was so shocked that it was so powerful, became worried about the future of humanity and was the one who signed the treaty of no nuclear test in 1963.
They thought it was the max efficiency of a nuclear blast, as any bigger would extend into the atmosphere and only serve to irradiate large portions of the globe, and possibly even completely remove the Atmosphere.
I wonder if the scientists involved feel genuinely proud of their achievements. To quote Ian Malcolm, “they were so concerned about whether they could, they didn’t stop to think that they should”.
+DanAxleerRUclips He never was involved in the production of the atomic bomb. He was asked to write a letter to propose for the first production of it, since it involved his equations and he was famous. Einstein was really against anything to do with warfare but he had too write the letter because of concerns that Nazi Germany will get it first.
It's simple, an Atomic bomb is a fission device, meaning that it gets all of its energy from the splitting of heavy atoms. A Hydrogen bomb is a fission/fusion device. This means that to start the reaction, an atomic bomb is used as the trigger. The heat and X-ray blast then causes the secondary fuel ( Usually a form of lithium) to fuse. Thus the Hydrogen bomb gets it's energy from fusion which is as the name says, atoms fuse together to create a new element releasing tremendous energy in the process.
+barackolizard you need a permit to buy uranium that contains the isotope uranium 235, and you need billions of dollars to separate it from the much more common uranium 238
The H-bomb you are referring to is a Teller Ulum design. This is the most powerful version of the H-bomb that has been tested, and is the only version of the H-bomb that derives a significant portion of its power from fusion (i.e. usually the majority). The one thing you got wrong is that generally, lithium-6 is used instead of tritium because it is more accessible and provides a higher density (lithium deuteride is a chemical compound and lithium-6 will fission and produce two tritium nuclei when bombarded by neutrons). There is another "fusion" device, or "H-bomb" that is a more likely culprit for the recent test. It consists of some small amount of hydrogen or deuterium in the core of a conventional fission device. A small amount of the already tiny amount of fusible material actually undergoes fusion, so it does not produce much additional explosive yield. However, it does produce a massive number of additional neutrons, which increase the efficiency of the fission reaction by several factors (a pure fission bomb has an efficiency in the neighborhood of 20%. That is, the bomb reaches a subcritical density when 20% of the nuclear fuel is consumed). Because this type of weapon is orders of magnitude simpler to produce, and because we did not see a likely yield of 100+ kilotons, it is likely that this is what they tested. Google: Boosted Fission Device.
+Sarge Rho umm no North Korea claimed that they have hydrogen bombs and there is also a rumor that they tested a nuclear or possibly hydrogen bomb deep underground
LostSoul XI Exactly, they *claim* to have tested a hydrogen bomb. There's reason enough to doubt that they did, and to think that it probably was a regular fission bomb. That's why I said except POSSIBLY North Korea. Are you illiterate?
In my youth there was a saying--"One nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day"--so yes, North Korea's unstable leader and authoritarian police state possessing nuclear weapons is a major concern. I don't like the idea of ANY of us having them--but growing up during the cold war left a bit of skepticism in my mind.

I'm a bit late to the party, but.. This is mostly pretty accurate, though the secondary frequently also contains a fission 'spark plug' in the center that kick-starts fusion, and the fuel in more modern thermonuclear bombs tends to be deuterium and lithium since lithium produces tritium in-situ and doesn't require a lot of expensive tritium to be manufactured before-hand. Also the tamper tends to be not-very-enriched Uranium, mostly 238. The reason a bunch of extra stages aren't used is because the primary purpose of fusion is to make lots of extra neutrons to make the fission reactions burn more nuclear fuel which means you need less material and can actually make more, smaller, cheaper bombs for the same amount of fissile material. Since it's better strategically to have more smaller bombs you'll almost never find huge bombs intended for deployment. Also you're correct that the Tsar Bomba was a 3-stage device, but they disabled the 3rd stage (which would've taken it to 100 megatons or more) because the scientists were worried it could be way too powerful. Source: I read a lot about nuclear bombs.
@@NH-pv9tm Megatons is a measure of explosive energy (the force of the blast wave), not the heat it outputs. Those things are related just not in a 1:1 fashion. So the short answer is: I dunno, a lot. The slightly longer answer is: millions of degrees; the heating of the air is one of the primary means of generating a shockwave, it just gets so hot so fast that the air literally cannot get out of the way fast enough.
Actually, the AN602 was originally designed for three, but in the end only used two stages. If they had used all three the detonation would have been equivalent to approximately 100 MT instead of "just" 57.

Most of our bombs used both uranium and a plutonium capsule. The bombs were essentially harmless untill the plutonium capsule was inserted into the end of the bomb.
I've never seen so many puffed up misconceptions in one place in my life. Everyone thinks because they play Fallout they know nukes. rachard McIntyre: You don't get good ideas about nukes from nuke movies. That's like the people who watch Fat Man and Little Boy judging Oppenheimer by the charcater playing him - they do that in the video that shows 2 minutes of the movie. A nuclear weapon is one that makes use of nuclear processes. So far as we know now, those are decay, fission, and fusion. An atomic bomb is a misnomer; all bombs (even conventional) are atomic. It used to be attached only to fission weapons. Hydrogen weapons are ones that use hydrogen (and its brothers deuterium and tritium) to fuse for blast effect. Today's weapons are hybrids: they use fission to build temperature and pressure and EM "light" pressure, they inject tritium into it to boost the numbers of neutrons, they use that to start fusion reactions in lithium deuteride, mainly to create scads of neutrons, they use a fission sparkplug and the a depleted uranium tamper to do the heavy lifting and create the fallout. The thermonuke is a fusion nuke so named because the neutrons that come out have a "thermal" energy spectrum. That makes them most effective fissioning U-235 and plutonium. Higher energy neutrons are required to fission U-238. The hydrogen is not simply "layered on" a fission weapon. The Soviets tried that, and while it did create a big bang, it wasn't in a class with the US thermonukes, and they had to search farther. The secret was the "Teller-Ulam" design, invented separately by the US, the USSR and the Brits. God only knows where the French and Chinese got the word.
You're wrong on the tamper. The tamper is made of U-238 (depleted uranium)-not U-235-which can undergo fission from fast-neutrons. U-235 tampers are too hard to purify in that quantity, so they figured out that U-238 can undergo fission if bombarded by fast neutrons. U-235 is ideal for primaries because they undergo fission from slow-neturons which can start the chain-reaction; however, after the secondary is ignited, there are plenty of fast neutrons available which can cause even U-238 to undergo fission.
Making one is one thing. Delivering it effectively is quite another. You're going to need something serious. Like a Papa John's delivery driver. That would get it done.
I don't remember exactly. I think tsar bomba was around 5 megaton. first it was actually made to be 10 megaton. but they realized it would be too big. hence the half size drop. still biggest in history.

I have a question, boosted fission + thermonuclear hydrogen bombs work quite differently, but yet is it truely possible to compress hydrogen isotopes or at least create them inside the core with lithium deutride to create an explosive fusion detonation? If so, how small do the isotopes have to be compressed? Im guessing immensly, so immense that you would need a fission reaction to compress it, just how explosives pressurise plutonium like in the pumpkin design bombs such as the "Fat Man"
That’s what the primary is for in a thermonuclear weapon. The primary detonates, and creates X rays. These X rays are directed to the secondary, and compress the fusion fuel via radiation implosion. Basically, the X rays hit the surface of the secondary, and vaporize the surface. These particles from the vaporized pusher fly off the secondary with tremendous energy, which, due to conservation of momentum, pushes in on the secondary. This creates the pressure required for the fusion of hydrogen. While this is happening, the spark plug made of fissile material (usually U235) undergoes fission, and creates heat, and more pressure, which compresses the fusion fuel from the inside. These two forces cause the deuterium and tritium to fuse and release more neutrons.
Wrong about the energy comparison of uranium. If you take a mug for an imperial cup, which equals 240ml, then you can calculate the energy capacity of the uranium 235 with that of TNT. The energy capacity of TNT is it's total weight, in this case (assuming you used imperial tons), 20320940 kilograms, multiplied by it's energy density. Weight = 20320940 Kilograms Energy density per kilogram = 4.6 Megajoules per Kilogram. 20320940 * 4.6 = 93,476,324 Megajoules of energy. Now, let's do the same for Uranium 235: Volume = 240cm^2 Energy density per liter/decimeter^3 = 1539842000 Megajoules per Liter 1539842000 * 0.24 = 369,562,080 Megajoules of energy. ... Uranium has about 4 times the amount of megajoules of energy. *TL;DR* An imperial cup of Uranium 235 is equal to about 80.5 Metric Tons of TNT, not 20.5.
Let's try that again. For the TNT: A cup holds about a quarter liter, chemical energy of a kg of TNT = 4.2 MJ/kg, TNT density is 1.7 kg/L, 1/4 L x 4.2 MJ/kg x1.7 kg/L ~= 1.8 MJ = 1.8e6 J for the U-235,: Again, A cup holds about a quarter liter, nuclear energy for uranium = mc^2, uranium density ~= 20 g/cm^3, speed of light squared is 9e16 m^2/sec^2) 1/4 L x (20 kg/L x 9e16 m^2/sec^2) 45e16 J, providing the uranium is completely converted to energy (for this, 5 kg of anything would suffice). In a typical modern bomb, 20% of the uranium is fissioned (nearer to 50% in a reactor), and only about 1/500 of that mass is converted into energy. This a answer for a bomb is 45e16 x 1/500 * 1/5 ~ 2e13. The ratio is 2e13 / 1.8e6 ~= 1.1e7 or ~ 11 million, not too far from the accepted value of 8 million. The terminology is a scientific notation. For example 6e5 means 6 x 10^5, or 600,000, The chemical energy expressed "in a ton of TNT" has been standardized as 4.184 MJ/kg. See wiki, TNT equivalent. I think you are comparing a ton of TNT to a cup of uranium.
atomic bombs have size limit before they detonate too fast and blow away fissionable materiel and when they become so big they self detonate, hydrogen bombs dont have this limit unless its the size of the sun wich in its self one huge hydrogen bomb, hydrogen bombs are entirely different from other nuclear bombs, they produce much less radio active fallout but still require a smaller atomic bomb to detonate.
The US only dropped 2 on Japan before they were even aware of all the side-effects. At the time all they thought it was, was a big explosion, they viewed that as a better alternative then a mainland invasion which would of been much deadlier in the long run. Though a little over 2000 nuclear weapons have been detonated as tests by about a dozen countries, the the US and Russia (then Soviet Union) were responsible for most of them. During the Cuban missile crisis, the Soviets nearly launched one if not for a single Soviet submarine officer going against orders. You could say because the atomic bombs were dropped on cities (quite intentionally), that it could be considered a war crime because the blasts were quite indiscriminant about what they destroyed, and killed many many civilians, but during WW2 every country committed them, with the Soviets probably being the worst, so I fail to see how it's anymore evil then the holocaust, what the Japanese did to the Chinese, the genocide and mass rape the Soviets committed, and the brutal treatment of Germans by the UK (among many others).
@JuhaJGaming: No, the Tsar Bomba was dropped in 1961. The full blown version did not take almost 30 years to get cancelled. The design was finished, but not implemented. The USSR made their point with the smaller version which actually yielded 57 Megatons of TNT.
Tsar bomba was only 2 stages it was halved by wrapping the Teller Ulam device in a lead tamper instead of a U235 tamper wand allegedly made it the cleanest thermonuclear test ever
Guys the Tsar bomba's explosion was so big the Russians thought it was too big. That is when you know you don't need to go farther
Thomas Dank engine that is the only point when Russians went over-powered...and never did it again
yes because if you detonate a bomb with a power around 100 megatons it would cause a global fallout and this is more than useless and dumb
As maritime said, it was only half of what it could be, and as Kaffohrt said, it would probably cause a global fallout due to radioactive cloud blowing up high into stratosphere almost as high as mesosphere (50 km or around 30 miles).

rachard McIntyre: You don't get good ideas about nukes from nuke movies. That's like the people who watch Fat Man and Little Boy judging Oppenheimer by the charcater playing him - they do that in the video that shows 2 minutes of the movie.
A nuclear weapon is one that makes use of nuclear processes. So far as we know now, those are decay, fission, and fusion. An atomic bomb is a misnomer; all bombs (even conventional) are atomic. It used to be attached only to fission weapons. Hydrogen weapons are ones that use hydrogen (and its brothers deuterium and tritium) to fuse for blast effect. Today's weapons are hybrids: they use fission to build temperature and pressure and EM "light" pressure, they inject tritium into it to boost the numbers of neutrons, they use that to start fusion reactions in lithium deuteride, mainly to create scads of neutrons, they use a fission sparkplug and the a depleted uranium tamper to do the heavy lifting and create the fallout.
The thermonuke is a fusion nuke so named because the neutrons that come out have a "thermal" energy spectrum. That makes them most effective fissioning U-235 and plutonium. Higher energy neutrons are required to fission U-238.
The hydrogen is not simply "layered on" a fission weapon. The Soviets tried that, and while it did create a big bang, it wasn't in a class with the US thermonukes, and they had to search farther. The secret was the "Teller-Ulam" design, invented separately by the US, the USSR and the Brits. God only knows where the French and Chinese got the word.
I think most of the fallout fans are joking

punchee , youre a loser , you've always been a loser and always will be .
GOD I LOVE THIS CHILD HE JUST EXPLAINED IT LIKE AN EXPERT.... ... I WANT TO LEARN MORE
North Korea. Why do they need to brag
Because they are small and insignificant and want to feel important.
ss ss looooool
***** - Because they both have extremely small willies.
THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE FUCKING YODA
Luke Paul year he kinda does
he reminds me of shaggy, from scooby doo
Luke Paul it's just the glasses
or the guy from finebros channel, lol
Luke Paul he was my neighbor when I was younger, I saw him in seussical
Fantastic explanation, thank you.
They probably got the instructions on how to make the bomb, just by watching this vid lmao
I was going to panic, but then I read your t-shirt.
You're wrong on the tamper. The tamper is made of U-238 (depleted uranium)-not U-235-which can undergo fission from fast-neutrons. U-235 tampers are too hard to purify in that quantity, so they figured out that U-238 can undergo fission if bombarded by fast neutrons. U-235 is ideal for primaries because they undergo fission from slow-neturons which can start the chain-reaction; however, after the secondary is ignited, there are plenty of fast neutrons available which can cause even U-238 to undergo fission.
H bomb = hentai bomb => converts everyone to the hentai mindset :))
Oh god that would be a disaster, I'd rather die
Weebs power!!!
Verily, I am impervious.
i have been affected
Nu-ti mai da labă la desene si du-te la şcoală.
the t-shirt says it all..
Great explanation! Thank you for that!
I liked the guy in this video he seems like a good guy
Roblox Gamer----
Your gay
what how is he gay
Aniket Biswas He plays Roblox, Duh
UNiCoRn PeGaSuS his name is ed sheeran
Welp. They did it today...
Making one is one thing. Delivering it effectively is quite another. You're going to need something serious. Like a Papa John's delivery driver. That would get it done.
he is the best host ever!!!! I hope he has his own show/channel
never knew that Ed Sheeran made science videos
lmao
Im scared for what people will use these weapons D:
Most likely as defence mechanisms from other countries
but its still less scary than using them as a defence mechanism agaisnt an asteroid
true
Stephanos ikr
Stephanos if it happens it's gonna hit California first
I don't remember exactly. I think tsar bomba was around 5 megaton. first it was actually made to be 10 megaton. but they realized it would be too big. hence the half size drop. still biggest in history.
"dont panic" we will die anyways so :D
ZombonicHD but do u really know..?
Noah Worden yes
Hydrogen bomb does not have radioactive phase unlike Atomic bomb, This is important difference. Wondering why you guys did not mention that...🤔🤔🤔😃
Yeah
Ulugbek Musinov
Really?? I thought they both gave off radiation & fallout... Can u elaborate?
Yes it does from the fission part. No bomb is a 100 percent fusion.
to make this reacion you need lot of temp.. it means you need A bomb to make temp to make h +h
honestly, i dont get anything from that super speed talker saying except tsar bomb was the biggest man made bomb? i am not even really sure
Well done: educational and entertaining.
If I fart in the woods and my Nose is stuffed up... does it really STINK? ....
"the tsar bomba was the largest ever made, i will let you guess he country"
MERICA!! waht? no? oke....
it's America not merica, Fuck you need to go school and learn your ABC's
Uhh, this is the internet its short for America and who even prenouces it "A-mer-i-ca"
So what if it's the internet? that's your excuse for not spelling right? lol
Super Bear No its my proof that you are new to the internet and have seem to have not learned the fact that people say "MERICA" when they are joking around. Not to mention your name is "super bear" which is quite disappointing when most people that like to sign up with names like that are often learning the ABCs themselves.
+ProMCRedstone My name has to do nothing with it. Admit it you can't spell America without Google's help xD, Pathetic.
very well explained.
I am far more concerned about the US Government than the North Koreans. Lol
Considering who's running it, I can't argue with that statement -_-
You are delusional.
I prefer the word "visionary". LOL
LMFAO Obama's the best we've had in a long time? When, since W left? He hasn't accomplished SHIT, I can no longer afford health care and the US debt is the biggest in history, PLEASE explain what makes him good.
Sgt926 at one time the price of milk was suppose to go up to $8/gallon here in ohio. he ended two conflicts. the price of gas is low $1.97 here in ohio. reversing what the Republicans did will take more than 8 years. I'm sorry that you cannot afford Healthcare. try going back to school and get a better job.
I am new to Dnews. Is there any major trolls here like the ones in Testtube comment section ?
Mostly the same ones I think.
+Cisdevils -_- and I thought it would be different out here...
Drjackjecal
the ones that always comment on the appearance of the lady instead of the content in the video?
+The Chocoholic Well I forgot about those...
There's no loss of mas in fission contrary to popular belief. The energy comes from the loss of the binding energy used to keep the nucleus together.

2023 Oppenheimer
I have a question, boosted fission + thermonuclear hydrogen bombs work quite differently, but yet is it truely possible to compress hydrogen isotopes or at least create them inside the core with lithium deutride to create an explosive fusion detonation? If so, how small do the isotopes have to be compressed? Im guessing immensly, so immense that you would need a fission reaction to compress it, just how explosives pressurise plutonium like in the pumpkin design bombs such as the "Fat Man"
That’s what the primary is for in a thermonuclear weapon. The primary detonates, and creates X rays. These X rays are directed to the secondary, and compress the fusion fuel via radiation implosion. Basically, the X rays hit the surface of the secondary, and vaporize the surface. These particles from the vaporized pusher fly off the secondary with tremendous energy, which, due to conservation of momentum, pushes in on the secondary. This creates the pressure required for the fusion of hydrogen. While this is happening, the spark plug made of fissile material (usually U235) undergoes fission, and creates heat, and more pressure, which compresses the fusion fuel from the inside. These two forces cause the deuterium and tritium to fuse and release more neutrons.
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'
too much math that i gave up and left
that was chemistry m8 lol
Paul Smith 😜 yes, you are right. With touch of Geography and History
Wrong about the energy comparison of uranium.
If you take a mug for an imperial cup, which equals 240ml, then you can calculate the energy capacity of the uranium 235 with that of TNT.
The energy capacity of TNT is it's total weight, in this case (assuming you used imperial tons), 20320940 kilograms, multiplied by it's energy density.
Weight = 20320940 Kilograms
Energy density per kilogram = 4.6 Megajoules per Kilogram.
20320940 * 4.6 = 93,476,324 Megajoules of energy.
Now, let's do the same for Uranium 235:
Volume = 240cm^2
Energy density per liter/decimeter^3 = 1539842000 Megajoules per Liter
1539842000 * 0.24 = 369,562,080 Megajoules of energy.
... Uranium has about 4 times the amount of megajoules of energy.
*TL;DR*
An imperial cup of Uranium 235 is equal to about 80.5 Metric Tons of TNT, not 20.5.
Let's try that again. For the TNT:
A cup holds about a quarter liter, chemical energy of a kg of TNT = 4.2 MJ/kg, TNT density is 1.7 kg/L,
1/4 L x 4.2 MJ/kg x1.7 kg/L ~= 1.8 MJ = 1.8e6 J
for the U-235,:
Again, A cup holds about a quarter liter, nuclear energy for uranium = mc^2, uranium density ~= 20 g/cm^3, speed of light squared is 9e16 m^2/sec^2)
1/4 L x (20 kg/L x 9e16 m^2/sec^2)
45e16 J, providing the uranium is completely converted to energy (for this, 5 kg of anything would suffice). In a typical modern bomb, 20% of the uranium is fissioned (nearer to 50% in a reactor), and only about 1/500 of that mass is converted into energy. This a answer for a bomb is 45e16 x 1/500 * 1/5 ~ 2e13.
The ratio is 2e13 / 1.8e6 ~= 1.1e7 or ~ 11 million, not too far from the accepted value of 8 million.
The terminology is a scientific notation. For example 6e5 means 6 x 10^5, or 600,000, The chemical energy expressed "in a ton of TNT" has been standardized as 4.184 MJ/kg. See wiki, TNT equivalent.
I think you are comparing a ton of TNT to a cup of uranium.
the shirt fits the topic...
now the youtube viewers know how to make a nuclear bomb, thanks dnews!
+good2bweird more like billion of dollars.
+Adrian Swearengin everyone knows how to build one, just cant afford the stuff you need for it :D
Yes, let me just pull this plutonium out of my drawer :|
+good2bweird u can buy uranium
+Adrian Swearengin where are you going tho get uranium and plutonium
At what yield (-also know as size of the warhead in either kilotons or megatons) does a atomic bomb became a H-bomb?
atomic bombs have size limit before they detonate too fast and blow away fissionable materiel and when they become so big they self detonate, hydrogen bombs dont have this limit unless its the size of the sun wich in its self one huge hydrogen bomb, hydrogen bombs are entirely different from other nuclear bombs, they produce much less radio active fallout but still require a smaller atomic bomb to detonate.
In Hollywood movies, Russia, North Korea drops atomic bomb. In reality, US does that.
dry up u muslim xd
+Advait Thakur: Your point being?
The US is the bad guy. That's the point...
Yeah, because America's always evil right? Typical anti-US propaganda.
The US only dropped 2 on Japan before they were even aware of all the side-effects. At the time all they thought it was, was a big explosion, they viewed that as a better alternative then a mainland invasion which would of been much deadlier in the long run. Though a little over 2000 nuclear weapons have been detonated as tests by about a dozen countries, the the US and Russia (then Soviet Union) were responsible for most of them. During the Cuban missile crisis, the Soviets nearly launched one if not for a single Soviet submarine officer going against orders.
You could say because the atomic bombs were dropped on cities (quite intentionally), that it could be considered a war crime because the blasts were quite indiscriminant about what they destroyed, and killed many many civilians, but during WW2 every country committed them, with the Soviets probably being the worst, so I fail to see how it's anymore evil then the holocaust, what the Japanese did to the Chinese, the genocide and mass rape the Soviets committed, and the brutal treatment of Germans by the UK (among many others).
tsar bomba was a test there is a bigger one
gibbel zoob Tsar Bomba was the biggest ever produced bomb. There was plans for a bigger bomb , but when USSR disbanded, the designing stopped.
JuhaJGaming there are currently bigger and stronger nukes that the tsar bomba, but we are not allowed to use it in war, only as a test
the bigger one is only designed it hasn't been tested
TheCoreCG No, there were plans for 100mt test, but russia abandoned it
@JuhaJGaming: No, the Tsar Bomba was dropped in 1961. The full blown version did not take almost 30 years to get cancelled. The design was finished, but not implemented. The USSR made their point with the smaller version which actually yielded 57 Megatons of TNT.
Thanks for clarifying. Did not know difference
"Turducken of Armageddon". Nuff said.
" . " Nuff said
Am I the only person that noticed this guy's lazy eye
I did that too....but this is the most inhuman comment one could make here
And what if we did? You have to most pointless comment in this entire comment section. Smh
Calm the fuck down :/
McLovin Mods No
McLovin Mods It's hard not to when it's magnified by those fucking telescope lenses he's wearing as glasses
as an engineer l feel deeply sorry for the people who developed the h-bomb
"Turducken of armageddon"
That's a term I didn't think I'd hear when I woke up this morning.... :-)
tsar bomba is from russia
Well Done---But do not build your own thermonuclear devises in your garage.
F bombs are easier to learn........
Tsar bomba was only 2 stages it was halved by wrapping the Teller Ulam device in a lead tamper instead of a U235 tamper wand allegedly made it the cleanest thermonuclear test ever
none of this isn't as deadly is my butt after i eat taco bell
thats veeeeeeeeeeeeeery veeeeeeeeeeeeeery funy.
Try eating a ghost pepper or a carolina reaper, the damage done to your toilet after is devastating
Bleach Drinker420_69
Taco Bell= Nuclear bomb
Del Taco= Thermonuclear bomb
My wife's leftover meatloaf=Tsar Bomba
nice double negative idiot
