A ttrpg dude on Mastodon is having some unexpected medical bills. Buy some of their punk rpgs or give them money. If I remember correctly their goal on Kofi is $210; I gave them $20. I’m posting this here because there’s a lot of you and I think most of us are leftists like them

    Point of order; The Anarchist’s Cookbook is a political screed with no instructions on bomb making of any kind (its mostly focused on the author’s experiences in Vietnam IIRC). What you’re thinking of is more correctly known as The Jolly Roger’s Cookbook, a collection of rambling from old BBS forums that describes equal parts impractical pranks (“Pour a cement block over your buddy’s front door”), babies first phreaking (for all those landlines people still have) and terrible bomb making (the titular Jolly Roger allegedly lost an arm as a result of one of his own explosives).

    And yes, if you’re a writer who wants to research actual bomb making so that your spiritual successor to The Martian can be just as accurate, the declassified US military Improvised Munitions Handbook is a much more reliable source.

      The Anarchist’s cookbook has a long-standing reputation that will be difficult to overturn. I’m assuming you’ve heard The Legend of Old Man Henderson at some point, where the protag justified a lot of the stuff his character knew with “he’s memorized the Anarchist’s Cookbook”. I think that is what the meme is trying to do.
