    Maybe this is a hot take, but I watch and read all kinds of crazy stuff. Learning how to make a bomb should be accessable to everyone, although not necessarily the tools to do so. I’m a firm believer in freedom of information, and I find the idea of preventing people from learning whatever they want to be no different from book banning.

    Besides, if they’re willing to learn how to make a bomb for malicious reasons, then they are dedicated and clever enough to research. As such, there are countless, far more destructive paths they could pursue. If you want to disrupt an entire town, you don’t bomb city hall. You plant thermite(not a bomb and incredibly easy to make) on the water tower. If you want to disrupt a city, you isolate viruses contagious bacteria using a $15 home crispr starting kit and use random uv mutations to move it towards being more deadly and infectious, because you presumably don’t know how to gene edit using that $15 kit(which is also incredibly easy, but very tedious. If you can pipette, you have all the physical skills required).

    My point being that the idea that this information isn’t safe to be made public falls flat, because the internet enables significantly more destructive information to be available to everyone. The best way to conquer your fears is by understanding them. Now instead of an irrational fear of bombs, you understand the exact mechanics of the bombs and have the knowledge of when to have a rational fear of them.

    I fear I did a poor job explaining, so let me give you an example: what do you think would happen if a nuclear missile was ACCIDENTLY DROPPED onto your house? What do you think would happen to your neighbors? The wording here is very important.

      Agreed. Information is harmless, if not beneficial. Malicious intentions and actions are different.

      You can’t learn to do cool things without learning how to do bad things along the way. That’s life.

      Many people want to do good things, and a much majority of people want to be perceived as doing good things, which is how we get the good parts of civilization.

      since you didn’t say armed nuclear missile, i’m picturing donnie darko. i’m sitting in bed. i get smushed by a nuclear missile that does not go boom because it was not told to go boom. then the air force comes over, police tapes my house, steals my weed and my collection of vintage lacy underthings, also knocks over my spoon collection for fun, then leaves. my widow has a puddle of me, the splinters of a bed, a hole in the roof and a spoon collection to clean up and doesn’t even get to keep a nuclear weapon. what a country.

        Jesus that was an enjoyable read. And yeah, the lack of it being armed was the idea that I was trying to get across. Do you write short stories by any chance? I used to read a ton of r/writing_prompts

      Perhaps you’ve watched too much crazy stuff because there is no way you’re going to make a deadly and infectious virus with “a $15 CRISPR starting kit”.

        You right, I misspoke. I would be making a deadly DISEASE, not virus. CRISPR is a bacterial editing process, I haven’t heard of any way to use crispr on viruses. Also, I just googled it, the kits have gone up to $50 now.

      Oh, all the tools and materials for “bomb making” are extremely common. The only uncommon piece is the know-how, though it’s not at all complicated. Intent is the other mystery ingredient. There’s more than one reason to wish to cause an explosion some distance from oneself.

        Yep, as long as you own the land and are not causing massive environmental impact, I find it odd that you can’t handle explosives on your own property. Tannerite is legal here, and every redneck with a gun can set off massive explosions that blow out car windows for miles, but if I want to blow out a tunnel for any reason that’s deemed insane. For the more powerful bombs like fertilizer bombs, it’s slightly more difficult to get all the ingredients, but yeah most of the time it’s pretty easy.

        Also the whole idea of not being allowed to booby trap your property is wild as well

          That last I have to believe is to prevent us from effectively defending ourselves from the state. They know we can only send so many bullets, no matter how well armed we are. Booby traps give us better odds to fight or flee from them, should they decide they have a reason to come after us.

          That said I can get a permit for blasting if I, in my very rural area, were to find a “legitimate” need to do so. TNT isn’t quite unobtainium, but not easy to get, so it should also be within my rights to fashion my own explosives if I possess the knowledge, skills and tools.

          And yeah, tannerite. I don’t have any, but academy sports does. It’s not even expensive, all things considered.

    Funny you think they’d actually verify that you committed a crime and not just raid your house and kill you just because they can.

    I don’t think Luigi is the right person for this. Literally could’ve chosen any image but they chose one loaded with the baggage of being associated with being hugely anti-establishment.

    They’ll have AI do it and then arrest you for catalytic converter thefts for some reason.
