Can pop science writers, documentarians, and science show makers PLEASE stop using "the bomb at Hiroshima" as a unit of measure? It's just unsettling and, at worst, sounds like the worst kind of jingoism (if the show is US-made), at best it sounds insensitive and dismissive.

Use an Mt. St. Helen or Tunguska, or "tons of TNT" -- just anything else please...

The worst is when it's treated like a plural noun. "200 Hiroshimas!" If could never hear that again it would be awesome.

@futurebird I guess what they want to say with that is “200 times as big as something that could destroy a city” but in that case they could just say that
