Your comment I replied to is overbearing, overprotective advice about something titled the Anarchist Cookbook, for God's sake.

I tried to restore a bit of that reckless spirit with a cheeky comment, but I am very sad to see the nanny state is out in force today. Gah, so boring.

I'm all for people pursuing amateur chemistry if they want to, but they should be doing so with accurate resources. The Anarchist Cookbook is not reckless. It's just straight up wrong in a lot of places in ways that very well could get you killed. Making homemade explosives is reckless, doing it poorly is just stupid. If you want to make explosives there are better guides on YouTube of all places. There is no reason at all to use this dated book full of inaccuracies.

The Army's Improvised Munitions Handbook is more reliable, safer, and contains instructions that have actually been tested by the authors (unlike, say, 'bananadine'), but I guess you can't act like an anti-establishment edgelord recommending that one.
