This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's really not that volatile a substance. You can burn it, even.
You need a special device to actually get it to explode.
Which is precisely why it's such an amazing explosive, imagine how happy people must have been to go from explosives that might detonate if you cough near them, to something you can set aflame without worry.
Makes life in the ammo depot much less stressful.
for all that things are terrible nowadays it's pretty fucking nice to know that ships loaded with explosives aren't going to level cities again.
now if only the same could be said for fertilizer storage
