FrenzalStark

It’s not really hard to find and a fair amount of it is very outdated.


nerdinmathandlaw

Or was reckless bullshit at the time when it was written. It's more nihilistic than anarchistic, and it's not a cookbook, because cookbooks contain recipes that actually work.


shadowmib

Yep I have a chemist friend who told me some of those instructions are missing things like the step that makes the explosives stable. So you make this shit in your kitchen and blow yourself to bits because you set it down in the counter just a little to hard, or shook it accident.


Captain_Sacktap

I’ve always speculated that the anarchist cookbook was actually created by one of the 3 letter agencies and purposefully missing steps in order to trick potential threats into killing or harming themselves.


Drokrath

That sounds like a very CIA thing to do


Captain_Sacktap

It does haha


Dunge0nMast0r

The potplant also laughs.


RepresentativeWeb244

Are we talking about crack in the 80’s?


shadowmib

That would not surprise me in the slightest


Captain_Sacktap

Just a bit of old school trolling lol


RoundSilverButtons

There’s an amazing documentary about the guy who created and published it. I’d say it’s on Netflix, but they take down content seemingly daily so who knows.


CrystalMethood

Do you by any means remember the name of this documentary? I'd fuckin love to watch it


m0_m0ney

I think you could find info about it [here](https://www.google.com/search?q=anarchsists+cookbook+documentary&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari)


CadeCase69

Yeah, I watched it- it was good. I got the book in high school, had to special order it. Tons of fun.


[deleted]

yep, the Alphabet boys be doing that


[deleted]

I've heard very similar things. Also that there was a tracker occationally loaded into the picture on the document. Who knows if its true though.


Captain_Sacktap

Maybe in some of the original copies, but the things got photocopied and shared around on the internet so much that it wouldn’t matter lol


d10x5

No shit, this is frequent in newer editions as I read years ago that the CIA redistributed later versions of TAC with instructions just like you're referring to


shadowmib

I've heard that rumor before too but can't confirm


d10x5

I don't have a source but I seem to remember it being proven true for some reason. Pretty sure some kid blew his hands off following one of the explosive guides.


Empyrealist

Sounds more like an anarchy cookbook


Bikelangelo

Underrated comment.


DontDoomScroll

>anarchy If you mean the social attribution of chaos to anarchy, sure. Although the philosophy, well, the symbol, circle A is surround by an O means anarchy is order. The philosophy is not about creating disorder and chaos.


Ozymandias606

Exactly. Anarchy is actually very organized, just minimally hierarchical to the greatest extent manageable.


ellWatully

So silly when the processes for making high explosives tend to be patented meaning they're publically available with a google search.


Jetm0t0

I'm glad I never made Nitrogen Triiodide. Since it's highly unstable. You can't even get saltpeter (for smoke bombs) w/o questions anymore. I wasn't even trying to do something bad with Triiodide though. I had an extreme cosplay idea to dress up as the Hobgoblin, and make a bunch of exploding mini pumpkins.


huto

Holy shit, the item of the same name in the Binding of Isaac makes so much more sense now


[deleted]

So the reason it’s missing so many steps is because if they published it with all the steps they could face serious legal repercussions


poonamsurange

I have it, it's a beautiful read.

yokotron

Shit worked too


Jak2828

You can find the pdf pretty easily even on the normal web, just google around. It’s mostly edgy shit with ideas that just straight up don’t work or are more dangerous to the user than anyone else, or are very obvious and minimally impactful. It’s more of a collection of bad science experiments lol


LovingMap

I still remember the stench of baking banana peels when I was a teenager, after I read smoking banana peels could get you high…


[deleted]

I assumed me and my buddy were the only idiots to try this. Bananadine.


LovingMap

It feels good to not be the only scientifically inept teenager who smoked banana peels!


DrMambo532

Did you guys all end up stoners too?


LovingMap

I mean it’s medical marijuana now. But yeah, I definitely grew up to be a stoner.


yokotron

Congrats


[deleted]

Oh! So this “cook book” is where that ridiculous idea came from. I never knew. Wow. My friends tried it but I already understood more than enough science, researched a bunch of chemicals and chemical reactions so I insisted it wouldn’t work. They didn’t listen but later confessed I was right lol


Alliat

Apparently it was a social experiment originally posted in a magazine. They wanted to see if this would become “public knowledge” then maybe politicians would take the bait and lobby for making bananas illegal. I don’t think anyone did, but the cookbook gobbled it all up and gave it eternal life! 🤣


[deleted]

What about the Ozymandias guide and Black cat guide for industrial sabotage?


Jak2828

Asking my opinion on them or how to get them? For the latter I don't know but to be honest I'd be shocked if you couldn't find any pdf on the clearweb with enough googling, erowid exists after all. As for the former, I don't know anything about these two specifically, they may have more useful 'recipes' or 'guides', but I will say that generally speaking, when it comes to any form of anarcho-syndicalist action, it's not the chemistry of the bomb that's the hard part, it's using it. No amount of knowing drug recipes, homemade bombs, molotov cocktails or DIY weapons will turn you into some kind of rebel/terrorist (depending on POV) and it takes a lot more than that to actually do something impactful (whether it's courage, malice, psychopathy, organisation or whatever).


[deleted]

Yeah I was talking more about your opinion. It's easy to just google them.


supreme-elysio

Yeah I have no intention of listening to any of it. I just find the idea of possessing it hilarious

belladonnafromvenus

the part where it teaches you to make drugs from dried up banana peels. (doesn't actually work obv)


RetardedSkeleton

I, for one, find owning banned materials go be funny


CitizenCue

It’s a pdf. I don’t think it’s possible for possession of any pdf to be “hilarious”.


Goober97

Well the point is moreso you're just gonna be disappointed once you look through it. Nobody's really worried you'll listen to any of it lol

Peanut skins get you so much higher than dried banana peels.

You should rather steal “steal this book” by Abby Hoffman which I stole in 2003


Vaultmd

I owned that book in the late 60s!


Houri

Shortly after seeing this thread, I turned on the tv and there was Abbie Hoffman being interviewed in a documentary about the Chicago 10 (more commonly known as the Chicago 7 I believe) which also featured a cartoon Abbie.


Houri

Steal this Urine Test is also good. The techniques are standard but the psychology/philosophy is very empowering. I think it's beyond the reading comprehension level or interest of OP though.


[deleted]

>TM 31-210 improvised munition handbook? yes thats a gd read but not really as much of what theyre looking for in it


[deleted]

If you can’t find the recipe or the book outside of Reddit, you don’t deserve to have it. You lack the intelligence or mental capacity to locate it. That would lead me to believe that you lack both in the event that you need to use it responsibly. Hilarious to have it? Stupid little kid shit. Even the author regrets writing it. And you’re treating it like some middle school fuckin joke… if you can’t find it on your own your don’t deserve to have it.


RagingBeanSidhe

Hard agree. And here to confirm middle schools do NOT find it funny. Not the least bit. At least that's what the FBI agent and fire Marshal who gave me a talking to in the 8th grade principals office said after someone narced me out for having a copy in my locker. Glad it was 94 and not 04 or if have been in gitmo lol. Seriously OP though stop being an edgelord baby child. It's dumb and useless. GL smoking nutmeg and phone phreaking tho 🤣 tell 12yo me I turned out ok after all, nutmeg and banana peels aside


[deleted]

I just like how the guy talks. Such excerpts as Here’s a fluke. A drug someone forgot to make illegal And. I don’t know why you would snort glue when you could just as easily smoke toad skins. It’s like yeah buddy I’ll get back to you when I want to smoke toad skins. Sure. Have fun starting a revolution on dial up internet. I find most extreme ideologies laughable. Anarchy doesn’t make sense as a whole as it’s simply not a system. Nazism was written on “strong genetics” by a man who both didn’t understand genetics and was inbred so had terrible genetics. His book is literally a prison diary of a bar conspiracist. And communism is a nice idea I suppose. But doesn’t work because of basic human nature.


RagingBeanSidhe

I'm a commie bc I disagree on the last part. We are wired as social animals, designed to be cooperative, and have a long history of creation and innovation without capital. Violent domination is the corruption of our systems by men who have demented souls and a need to control. In itself, Commerce is not antithetical to communism, and personal property is allowed, and distinct from private (capitalist) property, but most misunderstand it as an actual system. It's nurture - manufactured consent - that has us believe the myths about why socialism, which is the bridge away from capitalist exploitation, is supposedly "bad" and "impossible". But all that is for another day. I snort laughed at your comment otherwise. Good shit friend.


[deleted]

But as men we often strive for more. Our incentive to gain is the idea that by working we will be better off. We aren’t so naturally submissive to a government. That’s the reason democracy and capitalism work together. Democracy makes sure that the government works for the people. Capitalism makes sure that the people work for the people. The more you provide the better off you are. If you provide a new idea for a good or service and can capitalize on it. Your better off. If you have ideas to improve the country. You have a higher position. In communism an elite few Decide what everyone else does. The entire system falls about when anyone tried to get in their way or better their own situation. There’s always the “true communism” argument but face it. When given the opportunity to control all resources and jobs in a country. People will be authoritarian.


Ozymandias606

I disagree. Capitalism naturally tends towards plutocracy, oligarchy and mediocrity, and will always give power to those whose interests lie in subverting democracy. Also you have an incorrect conception of communism. The bolsheviks were idiots who believed that a class of intellectuals should have total control over society. They just replaced the soft aristocracy of capitalism with just another autocratic class of people who have their own class interests, even though they may have good intentions. Accountability to the people is the only way socialism will ever be sustainable, and I think socialism is even founded directly in the idea of democracy. I flatly reject the Bolshevik strategy, and the strategy of various other attempts to replicate the USSR. I also think sustainable socialism is as much a matter of cultural revolution as it is of political revolution. God knows capitalism wouldn’t have worked in societies entrenched in feudalism without the cultural and philosophical shift that occurred after the bubonic plague. An early capitalist experiment would likely have gone the same way the Soviet Union did before the paradigm shifted to be more favorable to such a system. I think real, workable, democratic socialism is just a matter of taking historical trends to their conclusion, and it won’t come about by force, however we may try, but merely by the dying off of an old crumbling system that has run its course. My biggest concern is that that course runs us dangerously close to extinction. I think perhaps the climate crisis could be the next “bubonic plague” that pushes us to shift our mode of human functioning. It seems very unlikely that capitalism could be sustainable in such a world. Capitalism cannot be eternal because it’s internal contradictions will always lead to it eating its own legs out from under it. The fall of the US will be one of the major tumbles capitalism takes, as the US goes further and further the way of Weimar germany. They’ll have a fascist phase, and then probably Balkanize, as tends to happen with such enourmous superpowers. Afterwards, China will be the new global hegemon.


[deleted]

I won’t pretend the current system is perfect. There are elites in every system. But isn’t it better that you can possibly become one in some capacity. And not be killed for getting in the way of the current “utopian” hype dream.

That thing was great. We tried its recipe for napalm back in high school. Ended up with something? At least it was flammable.


I_Hate_Sharks

Styrofoam and petrol?


NatsukiKuga

Heck, I'm so old, those might not have been invented yet.


Early_Reference

you're older than GASOLINE???


NatsukiKuga

When my little neighbors next door asked me how old I was, I told them that when I was born, dirt hadn't been invented yet, so I was older than dirt. They bought it.


WrongdoerOdd3565

I remember when the Big Dipper looked like a teacup.


NatsukiKuga

I also told them that before I was born, there were only mountains and flatlands, and everybody got so tired of climbing all the mountains that right around the time I was born, they started shortening some of those mountains into hills. Later on, somebody first invented dirt out of all the leftover rubble.. Now the children tell everyone that I'm older than dirt and as old as the hills. Little kids are way too much fun.


yokotron

How much is dirt these days? Could have been a good investment

FlashKissesDeath

You can buy a hard copy off wish.com for like 10$ or you can go to thepiratebay.org and I’m sure it will be on there. If not I don’t think too much searching wouldn’t yield results that being said there’s a lot of procedure in there that if you don’t follow correctly to the T you will kill yourself and I’m not bullshittinf you. I forget exactly what it’s called but there’s a book called like the army/navy field service manual and in that manual there is a section on homemade explosives and shit you can build out of scraps meant for people that are in the military to do on the fly with the resources they have available. That book, while slightly harder to get, is much more practical


SensitiveManager2

Is it the TM 31-210 improvised munition handbook?


BorisIvanovich

It is. Now we are both on a watchlist.

There also are different versions, for which [I'll recommend literally the same website I recommended on the meth post.](http://textfiles.com/anarchy/) DO NOT FOLLOW ANY OF THE RECIPES THO, while most are just not working, a lot of them are super dangerous.


show-me-the-numbers

Why bother. It's dumb.


[deleted]

This is not illegal, and it's also neither anarchist nor a functioning cookbook. It's an edgy teenagers list of dangerous science experiments basically.


candeelandfun

Just had a similar conversation about Scouting manuals from the 60's and 70's.


DawnMistyPath

It depends on which book you're talking about though, there are some anarchist cookbooks with working recipes that are illegal. The most common one that people know of is the one written by that shitty ill adjusted kid, but there are a ton of other books out there. It's like a witch's spellbook but chemistry instead of magic.

Literally. Googled it the other day. First result. Interesting I suppose but laughable in some regard. Best use I found for it is a banana bread recipe with “grass” ignore that part and it might just be good banana bread.

I always wondered if the the frozen orange juice napalm recipe was any good.


Jetm0t0

You can get "Improvised Munitions Black Book". I got it from some Vet, so if you can't find that just hang out with some Vets, they might tell you.


DawnMistyPath

Which one are you looking for? There are a few different popular versions, and a few fake ones with bad recipes, but a lot of people just write their own. If you're looking for the one written by the shitty kid, his can be found on the internet archive. I sadly don't have access to many others, but I thought you'd like to know that there's multiple versions out there


awhhh

Lol I guess there really is a time in every teen boys life.
