      I think there was actually a “darknet” version of altavista that was called Astalavista too. If you were sailing the high seas back then, or looking for the anarchists cookbook, for research purposes.

        Oh wow. A very housebound friend of mine read that, always talked about the floppy disk recipe - weedkiller on one side and sugar on the other, when the computer read it - Kaboom!

          I remember reading it when I was maybe 14?

          The floppy disk bomb stands out as a favourite. Back then I was reading it with zero intention of ever doing any of it, just curiosity. Thank Christ I’m not a Teenager today, would 100% be on a watch list for reading that shit now.
