Why is this cropped and scrubbed so that we can’t see who the original artist is?
Looks like the original source is @mushroommovie. The scrubbing seems to have removed a boredpanda watermark.
Thanks for that, they have a bunch of silly fun stuff on Giphy and found their original comics from your info.

That’s the toxic positivity people are talking about!
Can you cause fission with protons instead of neutrons?
Yes if they have enough energy (see for example https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-74045-5). What you won’t get with proton-induced fission is an explosion as the fission doesn’t emit protons which can go on to cause further fissions so there’s no chain reaction (unless you already have a critical mass for normal neutron-induced fission in which case it’s going to explode even without the protons).
If you’re adding a proton wouldn’t it be fusion? Which also releases a bucket load of energy.
The largest amount of energy is released from fusing two hydrogens into helium. The atom in the comic looks much heavier than hydrogen.
Also a chain fusion reaction is required for an explosion. The comic just shows non-explosive ionisation.
Possibly but the common fusions are using isotopes of H, He, Li with some amount of neutrons, not naked protons.
Heavier elements as the big blob is releases a lot less energy, and the really heavy ones are not exothermic.

That’s not how nuclear fission works.
So to make a nuclear bomb, all we need are some atoms and mushrooms. Got it, will try later.
