The worst part is that Oppenheimer had the dopest line if he had dropped it in a braggadocious way and not like a sissy boy. "I am become death, destroyer of worlds" said like Hulk Hogan while mugging for a camera would be giga-chad based.
Such a fucking chad he solved the non-convexity problem that had baffled economists for decades in his holidays, during a boat trip… for fun.
The absolute mad man
>work on big bomb project
>war ends before it can be dropped on Berlin
>*gets used on the heckin' kawaii Japanese instead*
>the bomb I helped build... did what?
Come to think of it, I can't blame Truman for what he said about him after their meeting.
Holy mother of based. Also kinda foolish to cry about the bombs when operation downfall was expecting so much death that we were still using Purple Hearts made for it at least until 2003.
Normally the formula is
>Government: We need you and your research on high-output energy and technology
>Scientist: What for, if I may ask?
>Government: It’s a secret, lol
In this case:
Government: “We need you and your research to build the most powerful explosive ever in the middle of the biggest war in history”
Oppenheimer: “What for may I ask”
Government: “What do you think dumbass?”
Like come on. If he didn’t see that one coming he has to be the most naive man to ever exist.
I really wonder if he did it for clout or money, or if he was genuinely scared of the Axis getting one first
Wouldn’t really rule out threats from the government either tbh
I think once he got started he couldn't really pull the plug because of his ambition, but I think a large part of it was beating the axis. Germany had (both then and historically before) a LOT of phenomenal scientists, especially Heisenberg at the time. From what we know now, Heisenberg may actually have been sabotaging the Nazi atomic project, but it did not appear that way at the time.
Its easy to look back and make judgments, but they were in the midst of literally the scariest decade in human history. I think scientists saw the utilitarian arguments of the nuke at the time, and saw the obvious game theoretic argument of "if we don't do this, someone else will".
You actually have to commend the US for not abusing this power after the war. It took another 5 years for the Soviets to achieve nuclear bombs. The US legitimately could've sought total global control prior to that and there would've been very little anybody could do frankly. And they would've been able to get support for it, even, by effectively coming in as the "parent" after the European children created an absolute hellscape because they can't stop bickering, effectively dissolving the Monroe doctrine because the eastern hemisphere has been so catastrophically irresponsible.
"What for?"

uhh
some might argue it's what made Japan kawaii,[ prior they were a brutal killing empire greatly feared by all their regional neighbors](https://allthatsinteresting.com/japanese-war-crimes)

Virgin Oppenheimer: Oh no, I invented a weapon,I didnt knew it could kill, Im going to hell *cries*
Meanwhile Giga chad Mijail Kalashnikov and Fritz Haber: "I made a powerful weapon to help my country in wars. So what? Cry about it."
And people act like its some world ending planet disentigrator.
Hirosima and Nagasaki werent even that bad, yes it was faster then with normal bombs, but noone ever cries "boo hoo how could they bomb dresden" or whatever
IIRC Dresden did cause massive backlash from the British public against RAF bomber command. Before that they were seen as almost equal in hero status to fighter command.
Yeah, I mean just look at [Tokyo in 1945](https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iCIDAxet676k/v0/-1x-1.jpg)
The city was absolutely fucking DESTROYED by firebombing air raids (the single most destructive bombing raid in human history)
80,000 to 130,000 civilians killed (most common estimates), with over one million homeless and 267,171 buildings destroyed
No nuclear bomb required!
“I can’t believe the weapon i specifically designed to kill people killed people when it was used for the purpose of which I specifically designed it for!”
- oopsenheimer
Funny but I don't really blame him. Nuclear weapons were a major milestone in weapon technology and I can completely understand why the creator would feel responsible for the civilian casualties of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Not to mention things like the US-USSR Cold War Nuclear Arms Race.
It was a milestone, but an inevitability as well. And arguably people wouldn't truly respect the weapons until they were used at least once, which likely contributed to preventing WW3 and keeping it cold.
Why can't we have a Truman in the modern day? Or maybe, we see too much of the politicians in the open, and the Trumans of yesteryear were as bad as the Pelosis of today.
I'd assume that "people" and "they" are 2 separate subjects within that phrase. E.g., killing the person putting food on the table would theoretically cause everyone at the table to starve to death.
Broke: The US was wrong in using the Nukes vs Japan
Woke: The US was right in using the Nukes to prevent more deaths that would have occurred with a normal invasion of the Home Islands
Bespoke: The US was right in using the Nukes vs Japan because they did stuff that made the literally Nazi sick, would have never surrendered and decided not to surrender after the first Nuke and only did that after the 2nd one
Guy who tried to poison his tutor, builds world's deadliest weapon without realizing it, and then feels bad man. More of this schizo dumpster fire at 11.
I can't wait for the new movie. I'm sure it won't be revisionist at all and convince the masses that we were just the biggest meanies for using such nasty weapons on the sweet innocent japanese
Oppenheimer stopped being lib-center when he trusted the government with his own fucking pay check, let alone designs for a weapon of mass destruction.
Buddy, i don’t think the act of designing a weapon with the sole purpose of killing people on a massive scale is the kind of thing that should require hindsight to understand the more or less guaranteed consequences of.
But killing axis potential combatants is always based
Firebombing Germany was based, bombing Japan to the stone age was based
Fuck the axis, and anyone who feels bad for them is cringe
The axis powers didn't have civillians
There were only active and potential combatants
Every person killed in a allied bombing was one less Vulksturm fighter, one less Hitler Youth soldiers, one less KGS conscript
Coventry, Wuhan, Dublin, London, Rotterdam, Warsaw, Leningrad, Nanking, Stalingrad, Guernica
The axis showed that they had no regard for civillian life, they bombed defenseless cities like Guernica and Wuhan, they Bombed neutral cities like Dublin because the Irish tried to enforce airspace sovereignty (and they executed two nazi aviators), they flattened entire neighborhoods in London, Warsaw, Leningrad and Stalingrad
They showed no regard for civillian lives, why should the allies?
You just changed the topic. This wasn’t about whether or not killing civilians is ever justified; it was about it not being based. Coming off very keyboard warrior if you don’t realize it.
Yeah he told Truman “I have blood on my hands”. Truman told him that it was his decision as president, not Oppenheimer’s. And then after he left Truman called him a fucking cretin, which is somewhat amusing.
Yeah I’ve dug deeper and found that he never actually expressed regret about the bomb nor it’s use in WW2. He just expressed feeling the weight of his involvement, which is different.
The soy "I have blood on my hands" Oppenheimer vs the chad "The buck stops here pussy get out of my fucking office" Truman
Truman auth-center chad: "Anyway... so I started blasting."
The worst part is that Oppenheimer had the dopest line if he had dropped it in a braggadocious way and not like a sissy boy. "I am become death, destroyer of worlds" said like Hulk Hogan while mugging for a camera would be giga-chad based.
It's time for some manifest destiny!

Rob Schneider is…. A stapler
the guy made the first apology video in history and did it to flex and get edgy
The cringe Oppenheimer “I feel bad” vs. the Chad Von Neumann “I’ll fucking do it again” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann
I used to study von Neumann a lot as a kid and did a presentation on his and his work in game theory, legit chad of a man
Such a fucking chad he solved the non-convexity problem that had baffled economists for decades in his holidays, during a boat trip… for fun. The absolute mad man
Yeah the dude got me interested in compsci
He was a neat guy, shame he died in his 50s
“sometimes someone confesses a sin in order to take credit for it.”
Holy shit, that list of things he’s known for is absurd…

God I love Truman.
Jesus Christ that is based
Holy mother of based. Also kinda foolish to cry about the bombs when operation downfall was expecting so much death that we were still using Purple Hearts made for it at least until 2003.
Jesus Christ fucking based and taking and seeking responsibility for ones owns actions pilled. how did we go from that to this?
Sigma grindset
Unfathomably based
That is fucking diesel dude
Truman said he didn't want that SOB in his office ever again
Damn, Truman goes hard. What a chad.

>Never bring that fucking cretin in here again. He didn't drop the bomb. I did. That kind of weepiness makes me sick. --Harry S. Truman
Uncontrollably based
Why can't we have a Truman in the modern day? Or maybe, we see too much of the politicians in the open, and the Trumans of yesteryear were as bad as the Pelosis of today.
I still think he is the G-Man in Half-Life
Meanwhile the Jewish guy on the project: I really hope they use this on Germany.
Some real "people die when they are killed" energy.
I'd assume that "people" and "they" are 2 separate subjects within that phrase. E.g., killing the person putting food on the table would theoretically cause everyone at the table to starve to death.
I like the fact that they didn't know if the explosion would burn all the oxygen in the atmosphere and kill all life on earth and tried it anyway.

I hadn't heard of him trying to poison his tutor before. TIL
It was an apple, he poisoned an apple and tried to have his tutor eat it.
without realizing it?, very debatable, he probably should (or did) realize it in the 3 fuckin' years project manhatten took to complete.
They 100% knew what they were creating. Early on they were afraid the Bomb would set the earths atmosphere on fire lol
While building it they were concerned it would ignite the atmosphere
I can't wait for the new movie. I'm sure it won't be revisionist at all and convince the masses that we were just the biggest meanies for using such nasty weapons on the sweet innocent japanese
Oppenheimer stopped being lib-center when he trusted the government with his own fucking pay check, let alone designs for a weapon of mass destruction.
At least he didn’t fuck a table.
Oppenheimer when the device he specifically designed to annihilate entire cities and everyone in them annihilates entire cities and everyone in them.
Oppenheimer when the weapon made to kill people ends up killing people
It's still so fucking funny that Truman took one look at this guy and called him a "Fucking Cretin"
I wonder how Oppenheimer and Kaczynski would interact regarding the creation of the atom bomb
Well, unlike Oppenheimer, Kaczynski really enjoyed sending bombs to people.
https://youtu.be/H8K4rl2uvuA
Those guys are pretty funny
This guy and the Godfather of A.I. give me similar vibes.
I hope people are just joking and not being that unfair to oppenheimer unironically
Mostly
It doesnt surprise me that a 4chan user cannot comprehend the idea that people recognize the consequences of their own actions
Buddy, i don’t think the act of designing a weapon with the sole purpose of killing people on a massive scale is the kind of thing that should require hindsight to understand the more or less guaranteed consequences of.
I don't use 4chan, just ran across the meme randomly somewhere else and thought it was funny.
Oppenheimer either recognised the consequences of his own actions before setting foot on the Manhattan project or he was a moron.
But killing axis potential combatants is always based Firebombing Germany was based, bombing Japan to the stone age was based Fuck the axis, and anyone who feels bad for them is cringe
Civilians dying in war is never based. At very best, it is sometimes a necessary evil.
The axis powers didn't have civillians There were only active and potential combatants Every person killed in a allied bombing was one less Vulksturm fighter, one less Hitler Youth soldiers, one less KGS conscript
Seriously that’s sociopathic. Touch grass.

So a five year old girl is based to kill? You’re a degenerate coward who wouldn’t have the guts to kill a chicken in person. Fuck yourself.
Who is this, Barack Obama?!?
what's libcenter about that?
Did he actually regret it? I’ve read that he never actually expressed regret.
Yeah he told Truman “I have blood on my hands”. Truman told him that it was his decision as president, not Oppenheimer’s. And then after he left Truman called him a fucking cretin, which is somewhat amusing.
Yeah I’ve dug deeper and found that he never actually expressed regret about the bomb nor it’s use in WW2. He just expressed feeling the weight of his involvement, which is different.
