      I guess the tin-foil hat brigade were right. Electric vehicles are dangerous after all.

        Don’t forget the zionist terror attacks on lebanon. Those were just pager batteries. This is the new normal.

        When I read this news this morning I thought it was like a Vespa style scooter. Was it really an electric scooter like this? That makes it even funnier.

        Edit- I read the news before the footage was released, and saw this post before the posts with the footage. Lul. Also holy fuck that was a big explosion from such a tiny boi.

          > that was a big explosion from such a tiny boi.

          Remember, the nuclear material which was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was about the size of a cricket ball.

          The explosion could have been a little bigger!

            Hiroshima’s bomb was Little Boy, which contained 64 kg of uranium, which at 19.1 g/cm^3 would be about 3.3 liters, significantly larger than a cricket ball.

            But Nagasaki’s Fat Man used about 6.2 kg of plutonium, which has roughly the same density as uranium, although the implosion mechanism to initiate the chain reaction compressed it to about half the volume. So that’s closer to a cricket ball.

            But also to add even more nuance, the plutonium in Fat Man used a uranium tamper to reflect neutrons, and estimates are that about 30% of the explosion yield was due to fission of the uranium too. So it’s hard to really draw the line on what was or wasn’t the “explosive” in that bomb.

              And none of it came out charred but recognizable.

              If the pictured scooter genuinely was the bomb, this is some Wile E. Coyote shit.
