I looked it up and you are correct. It is about 35-40 kiloton yield for those two bombs. The graph at 15 kilotons is incorrect.

I also looked up the london number. That was 20000 bombs dropped. German bombers at the time carried 500kg and 250kg bombs, so the 20k number is too high.

For context, Russia has dropped 50000 bombs in Ukraine, with the typical size being 1500kg. So thats about 75k in bombs.

Come on, Call of Duty is not that old! /s

The problem is people keep buying new versions of the same games released around 2000.

You are likely not old enough to remember windows 2000. It had the NT kernel and did nothing more than expected. It got out of your way so you could do work.

There have been some improvements over the years, but Microsoft's goals for windows changed after that, which is when enshitification started.

I would think that farmers were experienced and smart enough to know which crops would hybridize and which don't. They would not need the clergy to tell them that.

We don't see farmers today getting farming advice from the church. They get it from other farmers. I don't see any reason for it to be different back then.

I do see however that the church wanted to sound important and wise. So they wrote things down, but without having a full understanding, so a lot of the advice they wrote down is too simplistic.

Or some priest or political leader took revenge against a pig farmer who slept with his daughter.

And the mixed crops this was more likely to make sure farmers are not self sufficient.

Money has been the point of religion for a very long time.
