Dark facts about SpongeBob:

Despite the Hawaiian music and theme, Bikini Bottom is actually located near Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands. The United States has dropped nuclear bombs on this island in the past, as part of nuclear testing. When you see nuclear explosions in the show, that isn't stock footage, that is actual footage of Bikini Atoll being hit with nuclear bombs. The show may be implying that the United States has dropped multiple nuclear bombs on Bikini Bottom.

"
Cracks appear in Runit Dome amid sea level rise in Marshall Islands
"
"But 50 years on, the dome is showing signs of deterioration.

Cracks line its outer shell, while groundwater flows beneath the structure, allowing contaminated waste to wash into the surrounding lagoon."
