    Leave it to religions to get insanely mad about characters and beliefs they made up. It’s such a dumb fucking thing. Then blame everything on “demons”. Big talk for someone coming from the one country that literally committed warcrimes with nuclear technology.

      Bombing the snot out of civilians was sorta de rigueur in WWII. If you want to get on your high horse, the Tokyo fire bombings were far, far worse. That sort of thing doesn’t go well for people in bamboo and paper houses.

      And then you had the Imperial Army, who was so over the top even Nazis were like, “Maybe tone it down a bit?” So maybe chill on American “war crimes”, unless you have the stomach to read about Japan’s actions.

      Funny thing about bombing civilians in the European Theatre, it was all a bit of a mistake. A German mission was a tad lost and bombed London. So Churchill said, “Oh yeah? Well fuck you too!”

        I’m of the opinion everybody was shit in that war and it’s important for countries to recognize the shit they’re responsible for. Germany should be an example of what to do when your country literally commits genocide.

        No you don’t understand, America is The Great Satan and anything they’ve done is wrong and their citizens deserve it.

    Wasn’t there a big budget biopic on Oppenheimer that released last year?

    I can’t recall the name of it… But it was for sure centered on Oppenheimer while he helped develop nuclear fission weapons.

    If anyone can remember the name of that biopic that focused on Oppenheimer, please let me know, it’s killing me.

      The splitting of the atom was only referenced in a single line in that movie and it wasn’t Oppenheimer who did it. Then Fermi’s first nuclear reactor was only briefly mentioned in one scene. Oppenheimer developed the nuclear bomb specifically.

          Oh well sure lol.

          But if you want to isolate “The moment nuclear technology became known to man”, the splitting of the atom or the reactor that was built before the atom bomb are probably what you’re going to go with.

        So you clearly missed the point of the exercise, thank you for debating all the minutia of my joke to me.

        Have a great day!

          The punchline of your joke is that the answer is Oppenheimer, but it isn’t. Your joke just doesn’t make sense lol

    Richard Rhodes’ The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a great book that kind of explains all that in detail…

    but i would say it is either the Curie’s experiments, discovering the neutron, splitting the atom, Fermi’s reactor, or the tests during the Manhattan project; all really well documented.

      He expected to be his own brand, like Musk or Trump or Limbaugh. When he realized he was still just another faceless interchangeable mouthpiece, that definitely fucked his ego.

      Everybody knows Marie Curie was a woman and woman’s contributions to science just don’t exist or even register. Women scientists are literally the devil. /s

        Marie Curie didn’t discover fission; that was Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch and colleague Otto Hahn. But yeah, same problem. Meitner was left out of the publications and overlooked for a Nobel Prize.

    Really don’t care what this clown has to say after he publicly fellated Putin for 2 hours on live television.
