Inucune,

Ethyl Mercaptan, used as the warning odor for natural gas/propane, is not regulated.

chriscrutch,

So I could get some and just release it literally anywhere there are people, at least one of whom would inevitably call the fire department and they’d come out and waste a bunch of resources looking for non-existent propane? Huh.

Buffaloaf,

Could still be an act terrorism, since mercaptan has health and environmental hazards. The concentration used for odorizing natural gas is extremely low, since humans can pick up its scent pretty easily. But anything above 500 ppm and you have problems.

scottmeme,

You can go to the store and just buy tannerite

Yeah but anyone can buy it

Knowing how to make them from a trip to the hardware store is another thing entirely

A terrible resource full of things that could easily get you hurt if what you did worked

TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook is better

Edit: I should clarify that you shouldn’t do anything in this book as it is very dangerous.

Person named Reality Leigh Winner…somehow that sounds exactly like the name of someone who would leak documents

vivadanang,

yeah there’s irony to the name and coinciding events… almost like someone named Trump hoarding national secrets after an attempted coup.

Maggoty,

I mean… She’s the reason we know the Russians wanted Trump to win and took actions to compromise our physical election infrastructure. She leaked that while the Trump administration was actively trying to bury it.

Blackmist,

Similarly, there’s patterns of circles on banknotes that prevent you scanning them or loading them into Photoshop.

bfg9k,

I actually tried this and our office scanner refused to scan it, threw an error each time. Worked fine with a regular document.

Blackmist,

Yeah, it’s mostly this.

“Furthermore, the FBI ruled that The Anarchist Cookbook does not incite “forcible resistance to any law of the United States” and is therefore protected under the First Amendment. While much of the text was deemed to be inaccurate, the FBI concluded that the chapter on explosives “appears to be accurate in most respects”.”

From en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anarchist_Cookbook

merthyr1831,

As someone mentioned earlier though, the US army published its own book on improvised munitions that is supposedly much more accurate

masquenox,

Just knowing the history of policing feels illegal. How they normalized this vile paramilitary - essentially institutionalized fascism - right from the start in the UK and the US sure as hell isn’t something they will ever show you on Law & Order.

The Anarchist’s Cookbook is full of bad information, you should use the US Improvised Munitions guide instead

TwoBeeSan,

We train the best terrorists 👍

masquenox,

The Anarchist’s Cookbook is full of bad information

Yes it is… even the title is dreck because it wasn’t written by anarchists or even for anarchists.

The US Improvised Munitions books you find online is far better but they are still pretty old, though.

Transcendant,

The contents of The Jolly Roger Cookbook.

I’m prob on a list now for mentioning it

Mamertine,

Is that different from the anarchist’s cookbook?

AmberPrince,
@AmberPrince@kbin.social avatar

They're pretty much the same. I think anarchist took Jolly Roger and expanded on it. Worth mentioning, don't actually do any of the stuff in there. The chemistry is suspect and the tech stuff is laughably outdated.

Lifecoach5000,

Me and some buddies tried smoking banana peels in our teens in the 90s because of the Anarchist Cookbook. What a colossal waste of time lol

MrShankles,

Same, but never realized it was from the Cookbook. I think we baked them first to dry them out? It did absolutely nothing, but I guess the journey was fun nonetheless lol

GONADS125,

I tried grinding and eating Morning Glory seeds as a teen to trip on the LSA in the seeds, but I learned the hard way that they spray the seeds with a noxious chemical which induces vomiting, to stop people from having harmless fun…

I got so sick and puked so much, I still can’t eat almond butter due to the similar texture, like 13 years later… I’ll instantly feel nauseous and have to hold back vomiting.

SuckMyWang,

It’s funny that someone intentionally did that knowing what it would do to you

Transcendant,

We also wasted time with that, one of my friends from back then had an even bigger fail the first time he bought hash.

Stood there for an hour burning it on the gas stove to get it to crumble, eventually came to the conclusion that he had been sold a stone hahaha.

You can request your trial to be done by mail, yes this is legal and if you truly want to get out of a speeding ticket or any other tickets or fine. Just do it the trial by mail and always postpone it for a greater chance of the officer just letting you win it. The source for all my information is from a lawyer, also check your local laws or state laws about this, thank you maggoty as it depends.

I think your results will probably vary by state and county.

It’s the illegal prime number used to decrypt DVDs.

solrize,
TimewornTraveler,

oh child come on I am WAY too dumb to understand that Wikipedia article. can you just explain it?

Chobbes, (edited )

It’s the password to unlock the content on the DVD (well, HD DVD / Blu-Ray) so you can just copy the video from it for redistribution.

Reverendender,

How do you get to the password prompt?

Chobbes,

More technically, the data on the disk is encrypted with that “password”, so there’s not really a password prompt. It’s more like your DVD player will have this encryption key stored on it somewhere (possibly on a separate chip where it’s hard for somebody to extract it and distribute it on the internet lol), and then it will automatically run the decryption algorithm with this key on the disk contents transparently.

solrize,

Blue ray movies are encrypted to prevent unauthorized copying. Someone figured out and published the decryption key making copying possible. The movie companies went nuts and tried to suppress dissemination of the key, but it was out of the bag. That 09f9 number is the key that was formerly a big secret. Now that you know it, you can copy blue ray discs.

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Why didn’t they just change it? Set a new encryption key for every disc?

slazer2au,

Can you imagine having to update your Blu-ray player each time a new movie came out?

CoggyMcFee,

Any Blu-ray player has to know the key in order to play a disc. So they’d have to have some way to update every single player. There would be no feasible way to do that.

zzx,

Tldr: DVDs can not easily be played unless using authorized hardware (or software in the case of WinDVD)

Once the key was leaked, this was no longer the case, and now DVDs can be played by anyone with the key (enabling piracy)

tjhart85,
@tjhart85@kbin.social avatar

It's the key needed to unencrypt a video DVD, it's how people were able to make duplicates of DVDs. This was technically illegal to use thanks to the DMCA, but not illegal to know, so people had fun with it and plastered it on T-shirts, mugs, etc...

GONADS125,

I remember thinking I was hot shit for ripping a ton of Netflix and Redbox movies back in the day…

tjhart85,
@tjhart85@kbin.social avatar

Blockbusters mail rental service was amazing since if you returned the movies to the store instead of mailing them they counted as a free in store rental coupon AND would flag the movie as returned and prep the next set to be sent to you. They were slower than Netflix but if you were willing to go into Blockbuster, it was crazy worth it.

I had Netflix and Blockbuster and a huge rotation of DVDs coming and going.

I didn't have time to actually watch anything I was ripping, lol, but it was fantastic to expand the collection.

GONADS125,

I had a high school acquaintance who rented a ton of games from Blockbuster right as they went under. I was so mad I didn’t think of that…

How to make controlled substances.

It’s not illegal for anyone to know, it is also technically legal to make and possess if you have the correct licensing for some substances, but it is illegal to synthesize them.

mrunicornman,

What’s the difference between making and synthesizing here?

PsychedSy,

In this instance it’s likely the same.

havokdj,

Same thing, just used a different word

Corkyskog,

It’s possible to bioengineer yeast to turn sugar into morphine.

decended_being,

Unfortunately, I am allergic to morphine, wake me up when they can turn sugar into Dilaudid.

Or better yet, morphine into fully baked sugar cookies.

Corkyskog,

The proof of concept was done with Hydrocodone synthesis. It seems like they have the ability to tweak the yeast to complete complex synthesis to end product. I would bet Hydromorphone would be possible.

Making amateur rockets and pipe bombs are basically identical – for a rocket, one end of the pipe is open. There’s a vibrant amateur rockets community nevertheless.

Ilovethebomb,

Not really, the whole point of a pipe bomb is for the reaction to happen as fast as possible. This is sub optimal for rocketry.

dual_sport_dork,
@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar

However, anyone who has tried to make their own DIY solid fuel model rocket motor has inevitably wound up with their first attempt being something between a small bomb and a large firework.

My first attempt certainly was…

Tar_alcaran,

A rocket makes for a bad, inefficient pipe bomb. But it’ll still take your hand off
