Who wants to commit 24 counts of arson? πŸ”₯

βœ‹ 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 β€œamazed” while on acid πŸ˜†

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...

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?

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.

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.
