    People seem to forget that the demon core killed far less people than it was intended to.

      It was recycled into new warheads, so the jury is still out on that one.

        I think it’s a different bomb at that point.

        Yeah, yeah Ship of Theseus but I think when you melt down, mix with other things and then recast you’ve it’s a new thing. That or all they succeeded in doing was making several haunted a-bombs and that strikes me as a bad move.

      But more important than that, it killed in a funny “all comedy is derived from fear” sort of way.

        I suppose in that sense it was unfortunate they didn’t let it get to the rule of 3.

        Ideally when the experimenter is explaining how that core has already killed twice before.
