  • i continue to believe that the whole concept of zoomer brain rot is almost entirely perpetuated by outside media as clickbait engagement farming.
    Some of it has existed for like decades now and people suddenly act as if it’s horrid new slang, like “locked in” is fucking ancient and “chat”/“clip that” are just stuff all streamers say. It’s no different than using sailing or theatre terms.




  • It’s basically the former: the radiation given off by the atoms breaking apart triggers more fission when it bumps into other unstable atoms, which just keeps compounding if you have a bunch of fuel in one place until it gets REALLY hot and melts.
    To prevent the meltdown you put control rods throughout the fuel which absorb the excess radiation and keep the fuel at useful temperature, roughly like how a fuse is built to burn at a consistent speed rather than simply exploding.
