Fun fact: the tsar bomba flattened all trees within about 150 miles from the detonation point

[leonndambuki]

The Tsar bomba was so powerful that the shockwave travelled around the Earth 4 TIMES !!!

[ShadowTheFirst-STF]

Fun fact
The radius of the explosion of the tsar bomb is so big when it's dropped from an 8km high altitude the pilot has a 50% survival chance

[sullym]

By the way, the original yield for the Tsar Bomba was 100 million tons. The military eventually decided that this would cause way too much collateral damage, so they downsized it.

Fun fact:

The Tsar Bomba was supposed to be actually supposed to be strong as 100 million tons of tnt but they wanted to try half of the power before making the full version

Fun fact: the tsar bomba had only half its payload, it could have been a shit ton bigger

[seancurry]

I didn't think you realize, if we spent half the time, effort, and money we would eliminate poverty, and homelessness, and have better healthcare...

This is why aliens won't talk to us. They see our drama and put their spaceships in reverse.

[regan]

Fun fact:
The Tsar Bomba's yield was 10 times more powerful than all of the ordnance exploded during the whole of World War II. Every single last bomb that was dropped.
