Meanwhile, one of the most quoted person on the topic of war:

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

Always has been.

This is just more evidence that AI has been trained on pictures of me.

it’s with the ones that amateurs think that are safe because they get sloppy with them.

I changed and highlighted a word that I have concerns about. Keeping in mind, an amateur would have to make sure they correctly purify the end product, and make sure dichloromethane isn’t in the end product.

Just because a reagent is dangerous doesn’t mean the products it creates will be.

I understand that. My concern was with amateur chemists mucking around with the dangerous reagent in their backyards. Imagine them ventilating their lab and killing the neighbours dog, things like that. Or not disposing of wastes appropriately.

even amateurs could make in a backyard lab, from indole and dichloromethane

I hope they don’t. Dichloromethane ain’t nothing to mess with. Wikipedia page section on its toxicity
