Not trying to be a jerk, I just don't understand. If the government ordered matrix to put a backdoor into the code, couldn't we just install a version that doesn't have the backdoor? It's open source, someone is bound to fork it. So then the government's only option is to hunt down every matrix server in canada that doesn't have a backdoor and persecute the owner, which would be time and cost intensive but I guess possible. So at that point could we not just host the servers outside of Canada? What do they do in that case?

Hair Conditioner + Hydrogen peroxide: could potentially be used to lighten hair, but getting the concentrations right without ruining your hair and possibly damaging skin would be tough. Don't do it.

Hair Conditioner + Lye: Lye is a highly caustic chemical and can cause severe chemical burns...putting it in hair conditioner serves no purpose other than to possibly create a scenario where someone thinks it's a good idea to put it on their skin/scalp. Not a good idea. Don't do it.

Toothpaste + Bleach. If you can't see why this is a bad idea, you should give it a shot. I'll have your Darwin award waiting for you. Don't do it.

Nitrogen is a lighter gas than CO2. Because air is 79% N2 they have about the same density, meaning if you fill a pit with N2, other air will mix in easily and the whole thing just becomes breathable air. Fill a pit with CO2, which is heavier and the process takes much longer, so it can actually be maintained if you keep adding a bit more CO2 to replace what drifts away over time.

It's still possible to make a killing machine that would use N2 instead but it would involve airtight pens for the animals and gas pumping systems, which would be much more expensive than a pit filled with CO2 that you can dip regular cages into. So, sadly yes, it's just about the money.

Everything around them is built for cars. When that's the case, and you have no car (are underage to drive) you essentially have no freedom because you can't go anywhere or do anything. Bikes are great, they are also exhausting and impractical to cover the distances that cars can. An e-scooter can get you there faster than a bike and without being exhausted. I think it gives these kids a taste of freedom and independence that they crave.
