      I’m pretty sure I got TM 32-201-1, the master blaster’s training manual, the improvised munitions handbook, and a handful of others from archive.org.

      Less reputable sources are available in all sorts of dark corners of the web, and certainly people could upload tampered versions to IA, but it is generally best to stick to resources that have… some kind of pedigree, when dealing with things that go boom when you look at them wrong.

      Not that I’d ever do anything of the sort.

        Or just learn some chemistry, bet some youtuber makes fun dangerous stuff too.

        BTW did you know that if you surround dynamite with 10x fertilizer you get a way bigger explosion (gotta bury it though)?

        I mean I bet that is even in the anarky cookbook.

          I heard the fertilizer thing was only for a specific type of fertilizer. Someone posted in Lemmy that they were working at a home depot or Lowe’s or something when the Oklahoma City bombing happened, and they claim some undercover FBI guy was trying to get him to mention the type of fertilizer they needed. Idk. Could just be bullshit. I never had the need to test it out.

            It must have nitrate IIRC. You might not have heard of it (I wonder why…) but amonium nitrate concentrated in piles of IIRC was just fertilizer and made a really large explosion in Toulouse the 21 september 2001. Comparable to ten to 20 tons of TNT.

            You’d hear two booms as the shockwave that went through the ground travelled several 1000m/s and the second only at the speed of sound. Lots of people believed there were 2 explosions, and the bang was so sharp everyone thought it was in their vicinity. Interesting times.
