Idk, how hard can it be to just watch a house?

Easy, I'm gonna bring out my lounge chair & work on my tan. Eh, I forgot my sunglasses, oh well.

How did the camera survive?

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Not just the camera, but the (kinda tall) camera man too!

Very sturdy pole, and a big chunk of metal mounted in the direction of the blast

Very sturdy pole

My friends call me this.

TheFriar ,

Be a self respecting polish person.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

TheFriar ,

It was a joke

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

No, it was a sturdy pole.

jaybone ,

That house looks like it's on the moon

zagaberoo ,

And interestingly the moon's surface is about the color of asphalt, it's just hyperilluminated to look white just like here.

don ,

lmao you ain’t goin to no store ever, homie, that radiation just cooked yo ass

phorq ,

Am I dyslexic or is the joke unclear?

DeepFriedDresden ,

The picture is from old footage of a nuclear bomb test. The long shadow is cast by the flash of the explosion and this is right before the shockwave hits and levels the house.

Smorty ,

Is this mandatory information? It seems like many comments here know what's up.

I wouldn't say mandatory, but because of the cold war it's something gen x and y knows about, and have had much contact with.

wandermind ,

This footage gets regularly played in documentaries and Youtube videos when nuclear weapons are discussed, so many people are familiar with it.

Whoosh!

DeepFriedDresden ,

Lol, I got it right away. Well done.

belated_frog_pants ,

Wut

don ,

It’s a still from an old video of nuclear weapons test footage. The shadow behind the house and the super white glare means a nuclear bomb has just detonated very near by, and the shockwave is coming to vaporize the house in the picture.

LordAmplifier ,

Oh, that makes way more sense. I thought it was a house on the moon.

belated_frog_pants ,

Thank you!!

Shurimal ,
