Gay bomb - Speculative non-lethal chemical weapon by the USAF that could be dropped on enemy troops to cause "homosexual behaviour" - Lemmy.world

Wonder how the meeting where the idea was pitched went.
Probably with a tent ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A whole encampment!
„Ig Nobel Prize awards
Wright Laboratory won the satiric 2007 Ig Nobel Peace Prize for "instigating research & development on a chemical weapon—the so-called 'gay bomb' / 'poof bomb'—that will make enemy soldiers become sexually irresistible to each other."

“Make Love, Not War!”

Wright Laboratory: What if… now hear us out…

Sooo. After reading the wiki page the air force is wrong. It’s not a gay bomb, it’s a horny bomb. The bomb contains an aphrodisiac, which if strong enough would make soliders fuck anything. Also if I understand right, the study found that Homosexuality, is not something you can make happen. Because heterosexuals are not affected by sex hormones from the same gender.
Jembora hates videos, but yeah that’s about right
And how do you make this horny bomb? Asking for a friend.
Next they'll be putting chemicals in the water that turn the frigging frogs gay.
I bet that whole conspiracy story is a mashup of the gay bomb thing misconstrued with frogs reacting to pollution. They tend to be based on real things but twisted togetger into some nefarious plan by a shadowy cabal.

'Gay bombs' are literally part of the same Alex Jones rant as the turning frogs gay thing. The whole thing is a glorious trainwreck that you must watch to believe

" It appears that a ‘heavy sweating bomb’, ‘flatulence bomb’ and ‘halitosis bomb’ were also considered by a committee at the time. The plan was to make an enemy so smelly they could be quite literally sniffed out of hiding by their opponents["

That’s pretty metal

“Ugh which one of you stinky dickheads was it this time?”
“I think it’s all of us sarge!”

'halitosis bomb'

Imagine a bomb payload of tonsil stones.

Should have thought about smelly bomb: ‘Humans exposed to as little as 0.01 mg/m3 or less in air exude a foul garlic-like odor known as “tellurium breath”.’

As far as I’m aware, this can persist for months.

They already tested it on the frogs
Should have used pandas.
They should just fill cluster bombs with ecstasy pills.
Not so much creepy as hilarious
It’s me. Whole battalions get gay AF when I show up.
