Splitting Atoms

Listen up, buttercup. This joke plays on the double meaning of "split." Normally, sharing something is a nice thing, like splitting a pizza. But in physics, splitting an atom is called nuclear fission, which is a HUGE deal because it releases massive energy, like in a bomb. So, the joke is about sharing something...that could also be really dangerous. Plus, you probably think atoms are fake since you can't see them.
