Contrary to popular belief, the Unabomber was more of a domestic terrorist rather than a psychopath. As with all terrorists, his motive to kill was purely ideological. He was severely critical towards technological advancement and how—in a way—technology would corrupt society. It might've seemed like an absurd and irrational critique 30, 20 or even 10 years ago, but now in 2021 where nomophobia is a real thing, the Unabomber's critique isn't that far off (just minus the terrorizing part).
If the Unabomber didn't choose the unnecessarily violent path, he would've made a great point. Many theorists have talked about the paradox of technology, where technology has freed us, but yet at the same time has enslaved us.
It is recommended to read Neil Postman's "Technopoly: the surrender of culture to technology" to understand more about this paradox.

The single man who was responsible for numerous mail bombings on innocent people. He lived in a shack/cabin in Montana for many years, where he also kept a lot of his bombs. His name was Ted Kaczynski. The Unabomber was finally captured and sentenced to life in prison.

An alcoholic shot combining Jaggermeister and Bong water. Generally poured in a 2-ounce shot glass, so its 50/50. Invented in 2008 in Star City, Saskatchewan, Canada, it began with half bong water and half rye, which evolved to half bong water and half white rum, which evolved further to use Jaggermeister. This is one of the more disgusting shots you can make yourself, and if you've been drinking heavy, it's often enough to cause puking. To date only a few people have tried this shot, but hopefully you try it out to!
Ted: What are we going to do with all this bong water and jag?
Tim: Mix em up in a shot!
Paula: That's gross!
Tim: No, thats a Unabomber!
Tim: Mix em up in a shot!
Paula: That's gross!
