40ft shipping containerThe ISO 40-foot container holds about 67 m³, weighs 3.8 t empty, and is rated to 30.5 t gross. Roughly 25 million are in circulation, and standardising them in the 1950s cut ocean freight costs by over 90%.

TNT blockA Minecraft-style block, one metre a side. Real TNT releases 4.18 megajoules per kilogram — the unit every nuclear yield on this site is measured in.
🇺🇸 GBU-31 JDAMA GBU-31 is a 907 kg Mk 84 bomb with a roughly $25,000 GPS tail kit bolted on. Over 500,000 kits have been built since 1997, turning dumb bombs into weapons with about 5 m accuracy and a 28 km glide range.
🇺🇸 Little BoyDetonated over Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. 15 kilotons from a gun-type design firing one piece of uranium-235 into another; only about 1.4% of its 64 kg of uranium actually fissioned. 4,400 kg. Around 140,000 people died by the end of that year.
🇺🇸 Fat ManDetonated over Nagasaki on 9 August 1945. 21 kilotons from a plutonium core crushed by 32 shaped charges firing within microseconds. 4,670 kg of bomb around just 6.2 kg of plutonium. Around 74,000 people died by the end of 1945.
🇷🇺 Tsar BombaSoviet Union, tested over Novaya Zemlya on 30 October 1961. 50 megatons — over 3,000 Hiroshimas, and still the largest explosion ever produced by humans. The fireball was 8 km across, the cloud rose 67 km, and the shockwave circled the Earth three times. It was deliberately halved in yield; the full design was 100 Mt.
