I saw this post, and happened to be at work so I made it.
Edit: seems like some apps aren’t displaying the picture, might have to open in a browser.
You nailed it, but you’re missing one, supercritical piece.
Haha I am, and I might remake them to hold a ball bearing or something later.
The Demon Core, now available at IKEA
Core Demon, a new fragrance from L’Alamos
Am I the only one who thought this was a uranium core until you spot the fondue poker?
That’s exactly what I saw. I thought the fork was just propping it open to prevent a nuclear reaction.
It’s a reference to the demon core, which was similarly propped open like that with a screwdriver.
That’s what I was thinking of, couldn’t remember the name while I ordered Jack in the Box
“Now available from Hasbro™, the Demon Core Playset! For the first time, now you too can experience the thrill of needlessly edging the most destructive force ever devised by humankind to the brink of supercriticality using nothing more than your own hands and a flathead screwdriver! (For… reasons!) Perfect for proving exactly who has the biggest balls in the room! Right up until you fry them off and give everyone in the vicinity Super Mega Turbo Cancer, of course! (Well, the lucky ones who manage to survive, at any rate 😁)”
Fr tho, these people were well-educated physicists with access to some of the most cutting-edge technology/equipment available at the time, who knew they were fucking around with what is probably the most powerful destructive force humanity has ever encountered/created in our known history… Less than a kilogram of the material in the bomb dropped on Hiroshima actually achieved fission, and yet that was clearly still more than powerful enough to cause death and destruction on a scale previously unimaginable - particularly for a single weapon.
And these guys then have the bright idea to basically flip a salad bowl over on top of it and manually try to maintain an aperture (with the help of a flathead screwdriver tip - for safety reasons, obviously) that is as small as possible in order to see just how close they can get it to the point of no return, ya know, just for funsies? Because humans are notoriously good at never making any sort of mistakes, right?
I can only assume this was their last resort after the excitement of auto-erotic asphyxiation via popping the hatch of the command module open while in orbit wore off.

They melted it down before we started going to space.
I like that out of all that, this is the part that you took issue with 😂🤣
Though, I might counter that with the fact that we’ve conducted at least rudimentary low-earth orbit reconnaissance flights since the end of WWII/the beginnings of the Cold War with the U2 and (later) SR-71s… So, while my phrasing may have been off, I still feel as if there arguments to be made in favor of there being sufficient vacuum at their operational ceiling(s) to allow for a little extreme breathplay, if you will.
The fondue overheats in a hurry if you close the lid.
Does it kill everyone in the room within weeks?
Only if you leave it closed too long.
Depends exactly how far away they are from it.
Days
damn canadians about to invent new warcrimes
Not like we don’t have a rich tradition of doing that…
Close, the Demon core was plutonium
ITT: people not getting that they get the joke.
I have one at home, when I take a picture the camera becomes all noisy though
It actually splits the room apart, as it clashes with the larger room pieces.
This clearly follows the decorating philosophy of fissiong shui, not fusiong shui.
Spice Spice Baby!
