My sis is preggers.

Anyway, anyone know where I can source a large amount of high explosives, incendiary materials and blue/pink dye?

    Yeah I have a nearby old growth forest in drought. Should be some explosive there as well as a great site to test them.

    My personal theory is that Americans love gender reveal parties because they want to reinforce the idea that gender should be assigned at birth or earlier.

    oh shit I thought it would be safe to honor the men ( ?and women? ) of ICE by holding the gender reveal party at their office. to remind them what they are fighting to protect. I am really sorry about all the damage. I didn’t think anyone would get hurt.

    Depending on the state, one may purchase black powder at one of many reputable stores

    Just pack a length of PVC piping with some, seal the ends and put a fuse in one end and baby, you got a gender reveal party going

      That being said im gonna join in! While too young to be tried as an adult, my friend and I would make and set off explosives all the damn time. Just in an empty field or whatever, we just liked to see big boom. My friend was very good at science nerd shit even back then, got a degree in pharmaceutical chemistry later on, then overdosed in 2022, anyway, he knew how to just diy some stuff. We’d usually just empty out fireworks or use a shitload of match heads stuck together with hair spray. If you understand the basic mechanics of what causes an explosion, it isn’t really that difficult to figure out the practical steps. I made thermite as a 15 year old, making a big boom really doesnt take that much thought. A lot of chemistry knowledge goes into doing stuff and avoiding an explosion, flammable and volatile stuff is easily available. Dont make bombs. It’s a bad idea. But like…it’s crazy fucking easy to do. Making one that can do structural damage or anything like that is on a bit of another level but big giant fireball is hella easy. A lotta people do it by accident its so easy.

        Yeah, I went through a survivalist phase back when I was in middle school

        Learned a lot of stuff on that early internet that you probably couldn’t find all that easy these days

          We just liked doing acid, listening to Ministry and setting off bombs. We did lut safety as first as possible and would build sober and we always had super long fuses, candle wicks linked together and soaked in lighter fluid, we had a couple big fire extinguishers we lifted from the school’s janitor closet cause no cameras or cops in schools back then. Had sandbags in our Milhouse’s truck (sober kid with a car who was desperate to come along for the ride to seem cool to not particularly cool kids, we didnt get bullied what with the explosives but we only got treated okay cause columbine happened recently). That and we really didn’t wanna burn down a forest or anything, we just ended to go to an old parking lot in the sticks at 3am to listen to ministry, be on acid and explode explosives. Skinny Puppy, Killing Joke and Godflesh were also very much in play.

            Hell yeah

            I lived in Milwaukee and none of my friends had a car, so we just drank booze we bought from the liquor store that would sell to minors

            Would listen to the same stuff and toss bottles down into the river

            Then we’d record ourselves doing stuff and making weird home movies

            My favorite was the movie we made where a time traveler goes back in time and gave John Brown a lightsaber and Han Solo’s blaster
