So nuclear weapons require a few more steps than a normal bomb in order to arm properly. A normal bomb can be impact fuzed and just arm itself as soon as it drops off the plane. A nuclear bomb has to have specific things happen in a specific order and specific timing in order to go off right, and is built very specifically to make sure there are multiple steps needed to even begin that process (theoretically). The positions here are “I just want to get rid of the bomb” (REL), which you would use in case of a crash or a forced landing with damage, or a fire or something, and “yes I’m sure I want to nuke that target” (ARM/REL).
Consent is short for ‘concentric plug’ (as in an outlet) so I assume it provides nuclear power in case you want to plug in a kettle or something.
/ コンセント (konsento) is the Japanese word for a power outlet and comes from this. Trying to figure out WTF ‘consent’ came from is the only reason I know this.
What does it do?

Allows the F-16 to drop a B-61 nuclear bomb, if it is carrying one.

I think it comes from the same root as “consensus” and “assent”
Outlet is key. ☝🏼
No, outlets are more like keyholes, technically.
Consent is key.
To most outlets, yes.
When two hemispheres of plutonium love each other very much …
Consent nuclearily.
