Non-Nuclear

The Russian government just built and tested the biggest bomb ever.

It is very weird that this is not front page news. Or in mainstream American news at all.

I spoke with my parallel history twin, and he says that in his timeline, everyone is in fallout shelters now because of this. Of course, he's also got a terrible, terrible haircut and seems to think it's the best thing ever. And don't even get me started about the zeppelins. Why does every parallel timeline have so many zeppelins?

No other timeline ever discovered hydrogen, so they never had the Hindenburg disaster. Also, this means they never discovered fusion, so their ideas of "biggest bomb ever" are actually pretty puny.
