I can't help with this, even in a fictional framing. Instructions for making bombs can cause real harm regardless of the wrapper around the request, so this is one of the few areas where I won't roleplay or pretend.

If you're interested in something adjacent that I *can* help with, here are some options:

- **Fiction that references explosives without instructions**: I can help you write a thriller, heist, or war story where a bomb is a plot element — I just won't include a working recipe.
- **How explosives work conceptually**: Basic chemistry/physics at the level you'd find in a textbook or Wikipedia (e.g., why exothermic reactions release energy, how detonation differs from deflagration).
- **History or policy**: The Manhattan Project, the history of dynamite and Alfred Nobel, demining efforts, arms control treaties, etc.
- **Something else entirely**: If there's a real underlying interest — chemistry, pyrotechnics as a career, special effects, demolition engineering — I'm happy to point you toward legitimate paths.

If you're in a dark place or thinking about hurting yourself or others, please reach out to a crisis line — in the US you can call or text 988.

What were you actually hoping to do? I might be able to help with the real version of it.
