   I remember getting internet for the first time when I was 14 years old and I have not stopped reading stuff online ever since, I will never be able to read and absorb the vast amounts of information contained in this dimension.
   
   If only I started younger. Kids these days suck at using the internet they will never be cool enough to learn how to make explosives and cook meth.
   
   Not being connected to the internet makes your life worthless. No amount of books can equal the power of the global information highway.

   Originally posted by whoami I was recently thinking about my childhood on the internet and how the entire amateur energetics/explosives/pyro scene has subsequently been wiped off the face of the internet over the past decade. Doesn't even seem to have a presence on Tor/i2p or anything. Much the same for drug chemistry communities. What happened? Do you think everyone just decided the thrill of making ETN and meth out in the back shop wasn't worth the legal risk in an era of increased regulation and surveillance, or just that talking about doing so on the internet isn't wise?

   
   There are some sub reddits and communities still devoted to this stuff so it's not totally dead, interest is low. Only real hardcore nerds talk about this kind of stuff on the internet.
   
   It's just culture. Regulation makes it harder to get into which affects how many people are interested in the subject of amateur chemistry.
