    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.

    " 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

      ‘halitosis bomb’

      Imagine a bomb that covers an area with 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.

      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

    „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.”

    They should just fill cluster bombs with ecstasy pills.
