Time bombs can be used in various contexts, including military operations, criminal activities, or as part of controlled demolitions. In popular culture, the term "time bomb" is often used metaphorically to describe a situation that is unstable and likely to lead to a crisis if not addressed promptly. This concept can apply to various scenarios, such as political tensions or unresolved conflicts, where the potential for an explosive outcome exists.
