unless you're trying to save hostages, you should probably never ram your car through anything near a nuclear reactor. this is just one mans opinion. it's a free country.

please stop boosting all your own comments. it just degrades conversation on the platform. the vast majority of your boosts are to your own comments or threads. https://kbin.social/u/downpunxx/boosts

What's a 'boost' and is it different from an upvote?

Kbin thing. A boost is essentially a retweet on Twitter and Kbin makes those comments go to the top of the list. An upvote is a favorite. Lemmy only uses favorites and doesn't use boosts. Since Kbin uses can see all favorites and boots, we can see when users like Downpunxx do it to their own comments.

Commenting to get alerted if the other guy answers

^You don't even want to know what this guy would do to save hostages.

Most containment buildings have 30 foot thick, reinforced concrete walls. Running a car into it would have don't jack shit since they are built to withstand direct hits from missiles and planes. We don't want something like Chernobyl (which had no containment vessel) to happen.
