TSMC Is Too Delicate

tldr TSMC is legitimately the only people who can do what they do on the entire planet for a LOT of deep reasons, especially how lithography is not turnkey, you need massive tuning and discipline and staff seniority and insane workforce to get anything to work at all Basically if you drop a bomb anywhere near a TSMC building, it is so delicate you’ve kind of fucked it all and you might as well start banging rocks together to make fire since you’re starting the fuck over

A dark-mode social media screenshot explains that TSMC’s semiconductor manufacturing depends on extremely delicate lithography, tuning, experienced staff, and a massive skilled workforce. The punchline says that bombing a TSMC building would effectively destroy so much specialized infrastructure that humanity would have to start over by banging rocks together to make fire. It is used as an absurd reaction to emphasize how irreplaceable and fragile advanced chip production is.
