Well, we can agree that these AI companions are like drugs. But mentally and physically healthy people statistically tend to resist consuming them. So if these virtual soul mates are so popular, then it clearly shows existence of problems in society.

So, government basically tries to cure the symptoms of a problem rather than curing the causes.

    If this thing contains explosives(not an empty shell) and it still hasn't exploded, then explosives inside were relatevely stable(picric acid in contact with metal creates even more unstable compounds which can go off by themselves with time). If explosives inside are based on NH4NO3, then it is definitely stable also because of this salt is highly hygroscopic and looses sensitivity + power the wetter it gets. And I highly doubt that these grenades are actually sealed properly enough to fully stop contact with moisture(especially ones they became so rusty).

    So, I think that this one definitely contains only stable explosives. But this doesn't make grenade any safer and it is recommended to safely discharge by a professional in a prepared environment. Or at least to make sure that you are behind a thick tree/wall if you want to throw it inside a campfire by yourself.

    Serious question: general 988 is still operational(at least the website is still working), so why can't they use it? What is the difference between these 2 if both are aimed to prevent suicide and help with crisis?
