The further I read into that article the more I wished this was fake. Nope, turns out it is actually a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M44_(cyanide_device).
Seriously, what the fuck?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I read the first section and that was enough. I imagine it gets worse, and I don't need that in my life. I guarantee the people behind cyanide bombs fall within the demographic of people I hate most. It's absolutely disgusting.
He's in it to win it all. And we watch
I legitimately thought this was nottheonion for a second before realizing it was real.
I can't believe people think this is acceptable. A cyanide mine!? The people that allowed this should be stripped of their titles and positions and be faced to pay restitution for the destruction and deaths they have caused.
I had no fucking idea these existed until now.
"Take Action", AKA donate. Fucking paywalls.
Organize. Share this news, but tell everyone to not donate, since letters to your Congresspeople will do far more than any donation, or phone call you can make.
I have a calligraphy set that I use almost exclusively to write Representatives and Senators. My script with a fountain pen looks like the writing on The Declaration of Independence. My normal writing claims that I'm either a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. Fucking illegible.
I've had multiple State and Federal Representatives and Senators call me back when they received my letter. That's a trap. I have severe ADD and extreme charisma. I can, and will, keep you on the phone, and data dump and provide sources, until you kinda have to agree with me, and the science.
What a headline
So stupid.
Thanks for sharing this
This is all for the benefit of ranchers who demand use of public land on the cheap to raise their cattle despite the massive environmental damage
And I am willing to bet many still support RFK Jr. And Trump despite him allowing a resurgence of screwworm...
