Forum Users Share Army Manual and Extremist Video That Discuss Bomb Making
Executive Summary
Public forum posts on Skibidi Farms show users uploading an Army technical manual and sharing an ISIS-produced video that discuss improvised explosive devices. The thread includes back-and-forth commentary that normalizes and praises bomb making, racist and extremist language, and users volunteering to upload additional tutorials. The content signals elevated risk of radicalization and hands-on violent facilitation among a small but active community of users.
Analysis
The forum activity demonstrates a convergence of three concerning elements: access to a military technical manual, sharing of extremist instructional media, and peer reinforcement that lowers barriers to violence. Users openly reference and trade materials that can assist in weapon construction while making light of the risk. The environment is permissive toward violent misuse and contains overt hateful language that increases the potential for targeted harm or recruitment.
A forum user uploaded a PDF labeled as a U.S. Army technical manual that allegedly contains instructions related to explosives; other participants praised the post and discussed missing practical details the manual did not show.
Separate threads and replies link to or praise an ISIS-produced video that purportedly demonstrates bomb making techniques; forum participants indicate willingness to add further tutorials and clarify explosive methods.
The discussion contains explicit racist slurs and celebratory language toward violence, which both normalizes harm and could facilitate radicalization or targeted attacks.
Participants asked for and offered follow-on materials, indicating intent to continue sharing operationally relevant content and tutorials.
The forum appears to require registration to access attachments, suggesting these exchanges occur in a semi-closed environment that could hinder casual moderation or public oversight.
This pattern—combining access to technical manuals, extremist propaganda, and a peer group willing to trade or flesh out missing details—raises the risk that at least some users could move from talk to action. Even when a manual itself is publicly available, curated discussions and supplementary extremist videos significantly lower the barrier for misuse. The presence of racist and dehumanizing language increases the likelihood that violent intent will be directed at identifiable groups or institutions. From a public safety perspective, this chatter should be treated as a potential early indicator of mobilization and handled by platform safety teams and appropriate law enforcement partners. Platform moderation, takedown of instructionally harmful attachments, and referral to legal authorities are appropriate mitigations. Preservation of metadata and user account information will be important for any investigative follow-up.
