Unbelievable Chemical Weapons | Tales From the Bottle

Qxir | October 27, 2024



You asked, and asked… and asked… and asked…
Finally, your annoying prayers have been answered. This episode, Tales From the Bottle looks at the United States Air Force’s infamous “gay bomb” as well as various other similar weapons.

“The “gay bomb” and “halitosis bomb” are formal names for two non-lethal psychochemical weapons that a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing. The theories involve discharging female sex pheromones over enemy forces in order to make them sexually attracted to each other.

In 1994 the Wright Laboratory in Ohio, a predecessor to today’s United States Air Force Research Laboratory, produced a three-page proposal on a variety of possible nonlethal chemical weapons, which was later obtained by the Sunshine Project through a Freedom of Information Act request.”

    I know I am so late, but there is actually a documentary about something real… The frogs do turn gay. Kind crazy stuff. There is apparently a pesticide that is used in certain farms that run off water from the farms caused frogs could turn “gay”. In actuality it deforms them at birth and can make them All Male (Or Female). So in turn they just don’t have mates, sad stuff. I don’t know sad stuff to me. Qxir should do a video about this.

    I don't think their plan was even to make them *gay*. It's just a side effect of dumping so much aphrodisiac their brains turn off and they just start fucking anything that moves instead of focusing or engaging troops.. and if you're a soldier, more than likely the nearest thing that moves is, well, a fellow soldier. And those are typically men.

    "What's the point?"
    You missed the point by focusing on the ridiculous gay part. That was just an add-on: "…especially if…". The point was the "strong aphrodisiac". It was intended to make people too horny to fight – the gay part would just be an added benefit of giving the enemy soldiers someone nearby to have sex with instead of making war anyway since you couldn't find any women to make love at.

    “Closet gays don’t like to talk about the gay bomb” 😂😂😂. That’s the best comment by far and I definitely wouldn’t have done this video just to see if he could come out with something funnier.

    To be fair, if the enemy combatants are hardline religious fanatics who have strict rules about not gaying up with other men, then suddenly becoming madly attracted to each other would in fact be severely demoralising. It almost certainly wouldn't work, but the idea behind it isn't as stupid as it sounds when you first hear it.

    Still, there are plenty of better ways to fuck with enemy combatants using chemicals.

    The more I think of it the more sensible it gets. Having a chemical that makes people horny IS a good way to make them distract from the terrorist act. Making them GAY are just because the militia group mostly consist of men, so they can stay busy inside eachother.

    Imagine fighting 100 ordinary soldiers, but suddenly all of them become gay for each other, and everytime one of them dies another one has a john-wick-level main character moment.

    I think everyone's so caught up in the absurdity of the concept they have lost the real world consequences of such a bomb being developed.
    If you're engaging combat with an enemy coming from a culture that views homosexuality as taboo or even criminal, it could be incredibly demoralizing for the opposing army. Further, when those soldiers return home regardless of the cultural implications, those with a family will see their marriage suffer due to their no longer being attracted to their opposite sex partner.

    "Chemical that makes them very sensitive to sunlight" – there is a plant that beat the military to the punch on that.
    The Giant Hogweed has something in its sap that is phototoxic. Mess with the plant, the sap gets on you, and when you're exposed to sunlight, you get a horrendous blistering rash from it.
    Ask anyone that's had to clear out this invasive monster, and they will tell you their horror stories and show their scars.

    I guess It's a long term population control method. No nation can afford to ALL feminized men. Long term exposure to a chemical that changes the hormones of specifically men does sound like a really scary biological weapon from a movie especially in today's climate with gender expression and all that jazz

    Whoever thought up the Gay Bomb had obviously never heard of the Sacred Band of Thebes – an elite Ancient Greek infantry unit made up of 150 pairs of male lovers. It slaughtered a Spartan king and his 300 bodyguards at the Battle of Leuctra.
