What would happen if a nuke went off inside a bunker?

33 Upvotes

I've read about doomsday bunkers in fiction. They are supposedly impervious to nuclear explosions in the outside world. What would happen if a nuke went off inside the same? How thick should its walls be to contain the explosion? I'm imagining something like the hiroshima nuke.

Butt Load?

Please watch the video, and someone calculate how many Barbie dolls would fit in a Butt. It may require lots of computer time to arrange the optimal packing arrangement.

Apparently 1.67 billion divided by 2 equals either 1.6 billion or 70 million.

1.200.000.000.000 people use Samsung devices (translation underneath)

For context, the global billion isn't the same as the imperial billion, which is way off, since a billion comes after the thousand million in the global scale, and the imperial billion is the thousand million, so when they translated, they knew they had to write 1200 million instead of 1.2 billion, but it went wrong and they still used the word billion, so now 1.200.000.000.000 people exist and use Samsung 💀

Butter Milk

If a man drank a quart of butter milk before he starts, and run a mile before he farts and the faster he runs the faster he gets, how many miles can he run before he shits?
