Ok then. Why don’t you explain to the class what conditions are requires to sensitive, since you seem pedantically obtuse to getting the point of why people might leave specific details out.
First of all, sorry for the harsh response, I was in a hurry and I probably passed off as a dickhead
secondly tho, from the video you sent yourself at 9:43 “Nitromethane, all by itself, is a high explosive, but it is so inert, it’s almost impossible to set it off”
And that’s what I (probably in a bad way) implied in my first message, nitromethane requires to be sensitized with something like ammonium nitrate (to make ANNM) or with ethylene diammine (to make PLX) (or really with any basic substance, even sodium hydroxide you get as a drain cleaner can work, but it gets too sensible and can detonate on its own while you work on it)
Edit: I originally had a very hostile response here because the “obtuse” comment struck a nerve.
Some people aren’t “obtuse” by choice.
Many people, especially neurodiverse ones, look at your behavior and find it “obtuse” if not outright disingenuous and obfuscatory.
I realized you may also be feeling frustrated and maybe didn’t mean to be uncharitable and hostile to differently operating minds.
I may not understand what you were trying to imply, but it crossed my mind that this may be beside the point because the actual point is that we’re living in a situation where, if people actually said out loud what was REALLY on their minds, it would get them in trouble. And this is because the world is extremely dangerous and volatile right now, we’re all probably feeling very much IN DANGER from it, and not being able to talk about it honestly and plainly is indeed VERY PAINFUL.
So I retract my reflexive and poorly considered demand that you explain yourself, and I merely instead suggest that the person you were responding to wasn’t trying to entrap you. I was just as confused about the implication as they were, I surmise, but merely knowing that the implications are … “Spicy” … is enough.

Here’s another video that shows nitromethane just plainly burning

Sorry for being mean about it.

And the above respondent also knows enough to recognize what has been left out. You not knowing what has been left out is fine. Its not fine for them.
I realized shortly after I posted and before I even saw your response that I was not being rational. I apologize.
