Amazon is definitely the one behind this. This is all part of their “vertical integration” bullshit I bet. They’ve been taking tons of money off the top for years. Where to go besides taking 100% of the money?

What's that ? I never heard of it . I remember the triforce hack from 4chan.

Its about that thing

There was an image that had instructions for "making crystals" years ago. If you followed the instructions you'd end up making mustard gas or something, instead of any kind of crystals.
