    ELI5 for people who don’t know what project sundial is because I didn’t know about it until I saw that video:

    In the 1950’s the guy who invented the Hydrogen nuclear bomb made a theoretical design for a bomb that would send the entire planet into a nuclear winter. The bomb would be detonated in somewhere in the US because it was so powerful that both the US and whoever on the globe they were trying to hit would get destroyed either way.

    Here is the video the meme is referencing: https://youtu.be/E55uSCO5D2w

      It would be even more fun to detonate the thing in the ground of Yellowstone.
