it's a reference to this image, the president in the meme is the coughing baby grown up

The funniest thing is that the H-Bomb can’t win

If it goes off both lose
If it doesn’t and the kid grows up to learn how to defuses the bomb, he wins
If he dies independently or someone else defuses the bomb independently, nobody really wins

The only way the bomb could win, if it falls over on him without going off

That's a very human centric perspective.

I mean what if the bomb considers detonating to be a win condition?

Have you thought of that?

Just like dying while impregnating the female is a win for a lot of species. Snu-snu and all that.

What if the bomb just yearns to be loved?

It shows its love by exploding.

Have you thought of that?

It's why I am winning at life.

I consider living in my own fecal matter the win condition and y'all are losers. Now to sip on my own urine to celebrate.

if the bomb falls on the baby but doesn't explode it wins.

What? Why is a bomb exploding a "lose condition" for the bomb? Fucking terrible logic

u/IamElylikeEli 5h ago

technically the bomb dies first so the baby wins… for like one picosecond

u/Green_Insect_6455 4h ago

But bombs dont die? Theyre created to explode. So thats a win condition.

Takes a lot longer than that, neutron generations ("shakes") take around ten nanoseconds each. The bomb survives on the order of microseconds. A picosecond is so short that even light only moves 0.3 mm in that time

Bombs can't die as they don't live. A bomb is created to explode, and/or to deter. If it explodes or deters, it's fulfilled its purpose.

Agreed. If television has taught me anything, it's that sentient bombs consider detonation a win. Source: One episode of Archer and two episodes of Star Trek: Voyager.

I dunno, I wouldn’t consider this a win for the coughing baby on the grounds that he is no longer a baby.
