      I hate explaining jokes since it’s not funny, but

      Steppe - Hanford site where the nuclear bomb was first created and tested is a steppe.
      Nomad - Scientists traveled from all over the country to the Hanford site and returned back months or years later, which is a nomadic migratory pattern.

      I’m just using words that colonizers use to describe native cultures in a description of the Manhattan Project. Quite accurately, in fact. That’s the joke haha…

          To be fair, America is a barbarian tribe fucking around and breaking everything. The absolute lowest amount of cultural, scientific, and social output possible compared to other hegemons throughout history. Well, with the exception of the Brits but I mentioned Americans already so I’m repeating myself.

          When a reader doesn’t understand something, the fault never lies with her but with the writer instead.
