Just yesterday, it was alleged that Bungie’s CEO Pete Parsons had purchased 24 cars cumulatively valued at $2.5m just before the layoffs. Parson’s Twitter account went private yesterday, too.

Pete Parsons thanks all the plebs who lost their job. If the plebs didn't lose their jobs, Pete Parsons would not be able to buy 24 cars.

Who wants to commit 24 counts of arson? 🔥

✋ I'll bring the Styrofoam and gasoline.

I heard the secret sauce is kerosene but no idea why, so I just looked it up!

Didn't find anything conclusive about the specific comparison between the two, aside from Kerosene being less volatile than gasoline

Maybe it's because it's safer to make/transport, or gels differently, or maybe they're wrong and gas is just better.

To quote a YouTube comment I can't stop thinking about, "The thermite mixture is a combination of finely powdered aluminum and iron(III) oxide (also called ferric oxide) in a mass ratio of 1:3 respectively, a 5-7.5cm length of fireworks sparkler."

Why this was a comment on a War Thunder video will have me guessing forever.

Kerosene is weird man. I was on acid once and we kept trying to light it on fire with a direct butane flame and it wouldn’t light. Lit a leaf on fire and dropped it and that worked just fine… lol. Never looked into that but was “amazed” while on acid 😆

If you form explosives into the cone-shaped bottom of a wine bottle, it will make a shaped charge that can wreck an engine block.

Beware the man that buys etch-a-sketch's in bulk...

I know someone that lit thermite on someone's car because they tried to hit them while they were riding a bike as a teenager.

Alright after looking at stuff.. Bulk purchases are not necessary. Good lord that's easily accessible everyday materials.

Do you think this is what Adam Savage was talking about?

Soo, put the plastic explosives on the outside of a bottle, and aim upwards?

Only on opposite day

You can also just pour sand into the gas tank.

He also thinks if they find out they'll kill him which is why his twitter is private so he can brag in person

That's as many as 2.4 tens. And that's terrible.
