A single atom wouldn't even be worse than, like, a pop rock anyway. You need a whole mess of them motherfuckers to make a big boom.

If I accidentally bite an atom and the tiny shards shatters nearby atoms, wouldn't that just make more? Like sort of.. a chain reaction ?

Maybe I just have to gobble up all my salad before all the booms blow my jaws and neighbours away.

I think your jaw would have to be made of tungsten or something for that to happen, but I'm not a physist; I've just played one in a video game. 🤷‍♂️
