Am I missing something?

Usually when people say A-bombs they are talking about fission bombs, and when they say H-bombs they are talking about fusion bombs (fusion bombs are the more powerful ones).

But if this is referring to the High Expectations Father meme, I'm pretty sure that element was introduced mostly for the sake of the joke.

Confusion works better when attacking an enemy

The opposite is true. Fusion is much more energetic than fission due to the binding energy curve - specifically its slope to the left of iron where fusion takes place compared to the slope to the right of iron where fission takes place. (Basically to go away from iron you have to add energy, while moving toward iron releases energy. This also explains why elements heavier than iron are thought to result mostly from supernovae, while iron and lighter are products of normal stellar lives.)
Fusion requires high temperature and pressure to take place, though - this is the reason for the search for so-called "cold fusion." So far we can only achieve fusion in the sort of conditions produced by a fission bomb, and indeed fusion weapons carry a small fission bomb to start things off.

Ignore my first sentence. Its getting late.

Ah, thank you. I was also wondering, the hydrogen bomb splits a hydrogen atom, yes? Which atom does the atomic bomb split, or is this a poor understanding of the process?

A hydrogen bomb operates on fusion, fusing hydrogen atoms into helium in a process not unlike the sun. An atom bomb operates on fission, splitting uranium or plutonium atoms into a variety of elements.

Happy to help. Also note that the "atom" naming is mostly an historical accident. Both processes of course involve the manipulation of atomic nuclei. Fission was developed first, and fission processes came to be called "atomic" both for weapons and for power - see the long-running Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory for an example there. When the fusion weapon was developed, I guess they felt the need to name it something else because it was qualitatively different. Since it amounts to a small fission bomb (to kick-start the fusion reaction) that you detonate in the presence of hydrogen (the actual mechanism has to be a lot more precise than that), the name "hydrogen bomb" flows from that.

Fusion is quite harmless when producing energy and may be the way of the future.
Nggrhgrghhnnrgh! Chemistry n00 bs!

Ah, excellent, I've wondering about that as they keep comparing the H-bomb to the A-bomb on the news, but was too lazy to actually look it up. Thank you :) I was going to make the meme anyway, and then it commented perfectly on the High Expectations Father meme too

Serious answer to your question in the other meme (about the flame war):

As I understand it, "flaming" is just hurling insults on the internet. So, for example, a "flame war" might be a comment section that has developed to the point where both sides are hurling insults at each other.

Thank you. I figured it was something like that, but read a comment about "sides in a flame war" and thought I might have it wrong

[image deleted]Lol what's that on her nose? :)

Lol, it's a carrot. From Monty Python, they are making a ridiculous argument about how they can burn her because she's a witch, witches have long, gnarled noses, so they tied a carrot up as her nose
