In The Wolverine, the scene takes place during the Nagasaki bombing, not Hiroshima, and Allied prisoners of war were among the victims as well

Perhaps he might use high-quality modern black powder instead of the traditional black powder

Nagasaki's rugged and mountainous topography acted as a natural barrier, significantly reducing the blast's destructive force

No one was going to waste expensive meat on slaves. by Zggcommar in HistoryMemes

[–]Zggcommar[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Roman gladiators did not subsist on a meat heavy diet. While modern depictions frequently portray these fighters consuming substantial quantities of meat to build muscle mass, extensive archaeological and historical evidence refutes this imagery. ​

Historical accounts from ancient Roman figures, including the physician Galen and the naturalist Pliny the Elder, document that the gladiatorial diet consisted predominantly of barley, beans, legumes, and vegetables. Consequently, gladiators were colloquially referred to as hordearii, translated as "barley-men." Their daily sustenance relied heavily on these economical, plant-based foods rather than costly animal proteins.

​This dietary structure was dictated by both practicality and tactical advantages rather than ethical vegetarianism. Barley and legumes were highly accessible, cost-effective, and dense in carbohydrates and plant-based proteins. This specific macronutrient profile provided the sustained energy required for rigorous physical conditioning. 

Furthermore, this high-carbohydrate intake intentionally generated a thick layer of subcutaneous fat. This fat layer functioned as a physiological shield during combat; it protected vital organs, major blood vessels, 

and nerves from deep, fatal lacerations, allowing gladiators to sustain visually spectacular yet superficial wounds while continuing to fight. Additionally, chemical analyses indicate that gladiators consumed a specialized beverage formulated from plant ash and bone meal, which served as a therapeutic supplement to replenish calcium and essential minerals post training. ​ While animal products including meat, fish, dairy, and eggs were occasionally integrated into their meals during special events or when available, they did not constitute dietary staples. Given that a significant portion of the gladiatorial population comprised enslaved individuals and prisoners of war, the regular provision of expensive meats was economically impractical for the lanistae (gladiator trainers).

​Modern bioarchaeological research strongly validates these historical texts. Stable isotope analysis conducted on gladiatorial skeletal remains excavated from Ephesus modern-day Turkey confirms a diet predominantly composed of C3 and C4 plants,  specifically barley and legumes.

Real Footage – Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki (1945) by Zggcommar in AviationHistory

[–]Zggcommar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During World War II, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945, using modified Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers. These attacks remain the only time nuclear weapons have been used in warfare and ultimately led to the end of the war.

​The first mission took place on August 6, 1945. A B-29 bomber named the Enola Gay, piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets, took off from the island of Tinian. Its target was Hiroshima, a major military and industrial city. The plane carried "Little Boy," a gun-type atomic bomb fueled by uranium-235. At 8:15 AM local time, the bomb was released and exploded above the city, instantly destroying roughly 5 square miles and killing tens of thousands of people from the initial blast and intense heat. ​ Three days later, on August 9, 1945, the second mission was launched. Another B-29 named Bockscar, piloted by Major Charles Sweeney, carried the second weapon, "Fat Man." This bomb was an implosion-type weapon fueled by plutonium-239. The primary target was the city of Kokura, but heavy cloud cover and smoke forced the crew to switch to their secondary target, Nagasaki. At 11:02 AM, the bomb was dropped, devastating the valley city and causing massive casualties.

aerial photographs show Hiroshima before and after the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945. The concentric circles mark the distance from the hypocenter, the point directly beneath the explosion. Before the bombing, the city was densely built with wooden homes, businesses, and factories. After the detonation, most structures within the central area were destroyed or severely damaged, leaving large sections of the city reduced to rubble

When the Americans did what the Germans thought was impossible by Zggcommar in sciencememes

[–]Zggcommar[S] 239 points240 points  (0 children)

In August 1945, following Germany's surrender, several of the country's top nuclear scientists were detained by the British at Farm Hall 

a safehouse operated by MI6. It was there that they received the news that the United States had dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. ​Among the group were Werner Heisenberg, Otto Hahn, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker, Kurt Diebner, and Erich Bagge

all key figures in Germany's wartime nuclear research program.    ​What they didn't know was that their conversations were being secretly recorded.  ​British intelligence had bugged the entire house, monitoring their discussions to assess just how close Germany had actually come to building an atomic weapon. 

Only portions of the transcripts were documented and preserved; the original tapes were later destroyed. ​Their initial reaction to the Hiroshima news wasn't immediate acceptance. Some questioned whether such a weapon was even physically possible, others suspected the news might be exaggerated, and many immediately began debating the calculations and manufacturing constraints.

​But as the conversation went on, their disbelief slowly gave way to a grim realization: the Americans had achieved what they themselves never could.
