How much of a nuclear war? We already had a tiny one, a few surface tests, and significant underground tests. I know the surfaces tests put enough stuff into the atmosphere that radio-nucleotide changes were found in boomer infant's teeth which led to Kennedy's interest in banning the practice. But I wonder how detectable that period will be in future.

We need to exceed the background of 370 atoms of 244Pu per gram [1].

[1] Not Found. Which motivated me to let leGPT write a bash script to increment the URL and send requests in batch until it reaches 10k and returns all non 404 URLs if it finds any. still running, internets and hardware are slow or the curl command is.
EDIT: huh, should have known what was going to happen -.-'
