Mantis shrimp.
The water bears that are hanging out on the Parker Solar Probe.
I love how they get less happy the more pedantic they’re being XD
Their hair also slowly shifts upwards, as they charge their super Saiyan power
Plus it helps us realize that since they have more masculine haircuts they are even smarter, right?
Because it wouldn’t make sense for the initial female to look the same and still be a physicist, right?
Just pointing out that bias may also be affecting the cartoon too, even if not maliciously intended
The correct answer is an unlucky sentient manhole cover, that incidentally was thinking “Oh no, not again”.
Love the HH reference, but you’re the second person to mention a manhole cover. What’s the story there?
Here you go! It’s a fun read.
the nuclear blast ended up having a yield 50,000 times greater than predicted
That’s what’s known in the industry as “an oopsie”. Almost at the “snafu” threshold over which it would be likely to cause a brouhaha.
If I recall correctly the fastest object ever was a manhole cover after an explosion. If it was sentient then it would be the fastest creature.
BRB, going to look up the incedent.
Edit: Here you goDuring the Pascal-B nuclear test of August 1957, a 900-kilogram (2,000 lb) iron lid was welded over the borehole to contain the nuclear blast, despite Brownlee predicting that it would not work. When Pascal-B was detonated, the blast went straight up the test shaft, launching the cap into the atmosphere at a speed of more than 66 km/s (41 mi/s; 240,000 km/h; 150,000 mph). The plate was never found. Scientists believe compression heating caused the cap to vaporize as it sped through the atmosphere.
A one ton iron vent cap (sewer plate) moved so fast it vaporized. Iron into gas, just add velocity in atmo. That’s so fucking cool.
No, it was clearly not cool, hence the vaporization.
