A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The amount of radiation that is hitting mercury every minute is so big, hitting it with nukes would be a slow Tuesday in comparison.
And mercury is way too to far away and to close to the sun for us to have a good view on the explosions.
Venus is closer but the thick atmosphere would most likely prevent a great show, but launching them in high altitude could be interesting.
All in all, nice idea but not worth the hassle and risks.
