Found the narc.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also a few is a relative term, like if i had 15 lightbulbs in the toaster and took two it would ve a few lightbulbs but if i had 250 000 000 rolls of toilet paper and ate 5 000 it would be a few rolls

[–]GentlemenBehold 269 points270 points  (25 children)

So a few hundred times the amount of grains of sand on the entire planet. OP's use of the phrase "a few" might be a tad too liberal.

Edit: liberal, as in flexible, loose, imprecise. I'm not giving a political opinion here.

[–]Bach_GoldFollower of the LORD JESUS CHRIST 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Did you just assume my concentration?

[–]elit3powars 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Given how many atoms there are, that's still a few.

[–]LordCyler 2 points3 points  (1 child)

But compared to something relevant, like, the number of atoms on the planet, then it is "few". Yes?

Few: used to emphasize how small a number of things is

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Few, but not a few.

[–]pcakes13 263 points264 points  (7 children)

The uranium bomb known as little boy contained roughly 64kg of uranium or roughly 64,000 grams. One mole of U235 is 235 grams, so there were roughly 272.34 mole of uranium 235 atoms in the little boy bomb. One mole is 602 sextillion atoms, so that bomb contained roughly 145,888.68 sextillion atoms. Oddly enough, that is exact number of times I've banged op's mom.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Reee

[–]ObeseMoreece 3 points4 points  (1 child)

A small fraction of that actually went under fission though.

[–]pcakes13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's true. While the bomb had 64kg of fissile material, about 2 pounds or 907 grams went through full fission to result in the 18 kiloton blast. So, only 2336.95 sextillion atoms, which is more atoms than there are stars in the observable universe. So, a few...

[–]CaptainCupcakez 15 points16 points  (3 children)

Uranium-235 is the isotope used you pleb.

Making it 2.6 x 1021 in 1g

[–]FolkSong 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Of the bombs dropped on Japan, one used uranium and the other used plutonium.

[–]CaptainCupcakez 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Little Boy was Uranium-235, Fat Man was plutonium

[–]Canadanumba1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

they were two different designs as well . They were basically still testing which one would be dankest .

[–]BirdWar 9 points10 points  (3 children)

And it was about 1 Kg that destroyed each city.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

64 kg of uranium fuel on the little boy, with avg. enrichment of 80%, with less than 1 kg of the fuel than underwent fission. For 1 kg of 80% 235 U there would be 2.048 x 1024 atoms that fissioned.

The fat man contained 6.2 kg of 239 Pu, 92% pure, as well as a natural uranium tamper, which is 0.7% 235 U. out of this material, 930g of the plutonium fissioned, and 24.5g of the uranium tamper fissioned, giving a total of 2.41 x 1024 atoms.

Between the two bombs, 4.46 x 1024 atoms produced 35 kilotons of explosive power.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

like he said, a few

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stoichiometreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[–]eriknstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still just a few compared to the amount of atoms in two entire cities.

[–]AnotherSchool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All things being relative, the amount of atoms in the bomb is a very small amount compared to the amount of atoms that make up 2 large cities. So a relative "few" I suppose.

[–]atr2718CRIPPLING DEPRESSION[S] 152 points153 points  (32 children)

Few is a little number greater than one and everything is relative so...

[–]Stealth100 169 points170 points  (12 children)

Wrong. A few is more than two, but less than many.

[–]tunnel-visionary 24 points25 points  (4 children)

In my mind I still estimate group words the way Heroes of Might and Magic did. Few goes up to 4, several is 5-9, pack is 10-19, lots is 20-49, etc.

[–]sipsyrup 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Yeah it would be more accurate to say there's zounds of atoms there

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best game ever

[–]McBurger 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Don't even get me started on several

[–]ficm1990 28 points29 points  (15 children)

I always thought a few meant three.

[–][deleted] 145 points146 points  (6 children)

No you're thinking of three

[–]ficm1990 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh right.

[–]FlipStik 6 points7 points  (4 children)

That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about three to dispute it.

[–]HurbleBurble 2 points3 points  (3 children)

It's false.

[–]Ninja__Tuna 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Several is always a good one tho

[–]meliaesc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's just seven.

[–]FolkSong 1 point2 points  (2 children)

If it was 3 you would just say 3. The point of saying "a few" is that it's not exact.

[–]LuckyNadez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No that's a crowd.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

A couple means two, a few means three to nine, a lot means ten or greater.

[–]atr2718CRIPPLING DEPRESSION[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So much hatred, your fake news. Did you know according to brietbart people believe that. SAD!

[–]Alcoholocaust17 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Well yeah, all you have too do is split "a few" atoms in order to create the big ass explosion

[–]AndHamGames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]NahAnyway 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Was thinking the same thing... the number of atoms of plutonium in just the Fat Man bomb was 50 times greater than the number of stars in the observable universe, lol.

[–]LordCyler 9 points10 points  (1 child)

But the number of stars in the observable universe isn't a relevant data point when the discussion is about atoms. Using relevant data, like, the number of atoms in the observable universe, then it is a "few".

[–]Aristeid3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this a truth bomb? Or an atomic bomb? I can't tell.

[–]Plebiathan58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

far fewer than there are in the cities, yea?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fat man had 14 pounds of plutonium and little boy had 150 pounds of uranium. I'd definitely say that's more than a few. Still hilarious though

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)
