Bro got no chill - why it's easy to stay thin in Japan edgy joke

This is a screenshot of a YouTube comment section under a video that asks the question 'Why is it easy to stay thin in Japan?'. A commenter makes an edgy dark joke using a double meaning pun: 'Fat Man' was the code name for the atomic bomb that destroyed the city of Nagasaki, Japan during World War II. The joke twists the phrase 'fat man' (referring to an overweight person) to reference the historical bombing, saying the last time a fat man was in Japan, an entire city disappeared. The joke is considered unapologetically dark, hence the 'no chill' framing.
