I like how she does it in some kind of stone/gravel. I guess nails and screws could have been worse.

u/theoriginalmofocus 4d ago

At least, i think, its not inside something else and shes using coca cola it looks like. There used to be other things i think that were worse (iykyk i guess) but i heard they reformulated the shock to not work like it used to. I may be wrong.

I mixed one of those once and the bottle got HOT before I could fully screw the lid. I tossed it immediately and it blew up in the air a few feet from my hand. Can hardly believe I survived that phase of my life.

As a 12 year old we made devices starting with match heads wrapped tightly in tin foil, then graduating to gunpowder extracted one at a time from firecrackers. We set them off on the railroad tracks across from my house. My friends were bad at it but I was very careful. Some turned out merely as smoke bombs, and some burst into fire. But then I made one that one that really exploded in an impressive way and that was the last one I ever made. I immediately retired.

What I learned is that you leave black powder loose and pack gunpowder. Big boom! We used model rocket igniters to set them off from a distance.

I remember going down to this abandoned tobacco drying barn near my house and hanging out. One day we had a backpack w things to burn, lighter fluid etc we were on our way down there to burn some things, but not start a fire. On our way over there we saw a friend running away from it and a fire started. He kept running when we asked what happened, stashed our backpack and went over to fight the fire.

Fire dept showed up and accused us of starting said fire. We didn’t eat our friend out and we didn’t mention our backpack that was 200’ away in the tree line, but we were very upset that they would accuse of us setting a fire. Heh. We didn’t want to burn it down, just burn some things while we were there. We liked hanging there, why would we want it torched?

Ahh high school.

u/Climate_Automatic 3d ago

What ended up happening? Did they arrest you or accept your explanation?

2

u/SSquirrel76 3d ago

They didn’t have any evidence and had to let us go.

d/l'd the anarchist cook book when I was like 10, pre 9/11 and patriot act mind you. Those model rocket engines you could buy at wal mart or hobby shops could be crushed into a very fine powder... I made one and it put a sink sized hole in the ground. I started stock piling them under my bed to go light with my friends. Thankfully my parents found them and disposed of them after a long talking to.

u/HomeFade 2d ago

Yeah I was on the exact same stuff. I made a bunch a bunch of smoke bombs. Then I started trying to add stuff to make coloured smoke. One of my attempts produced a lot of smoke that was clearly toxic, in a public place. I immediately retired.

u/boosesb 3d ago

What do you mix the shock with

A guy I knew didnt throw it in time and literally had to have his thumb surgically put back on his hand

u/HomeFade 2d ago

What can I say? My cat-like reflexes saved me.

Think Weird Al did a parody about one of those things, based off of Lorde's Royals song

Isopropyl alcahol

u/Cyoarp 3d ago

What was she pouring in?

2

u/theoriginalmofocus 3d ago

Looks like pool shock.

1

u/Cyoarp 3d ago

Oh thanks. I've never owned a pool

2

u/theoriginalmofocus 3d ago

Ha me either. But i knew people that did this.

1

u/PinchCactus 3d ago

Hydrochloric acid and tin foil.

1

u/theoriginalmofocus 3d ago

Nah you used to be able to just alcahol and pool shock tableta broken up though. They changed the schock i heard.

u/Thin-Wolf 3d ago

Is it me or did it seem to have volatile chemical reactions with so many things? Even with some of the most natural and neutral “appearing” liquids.

u/Lamacrab_the_420th 3d ago

When I was a teen we used to do aluminium + HCl inside of glass bottles. What could go wrong.

1

u/GroundbreakingLog251 3d ago

Good old meuriatic acid still does the trick

u/WokenWanderer37 2d ago

"The works" toilet bowl cleaner and a bunch of loosely packed aluminum foil balls in an empty two liter makes a big boom

u/saskir21 1d ago

Bleach in Coca Cola is worse enough. Atleast with mentos she would not have acid on her body.

u/d57heinz 1d ago

Yea back when it was a thing for us it was drain opener and a certain metal. Def had more of a time delay than these. Ouch. This had to leave a mark.

Ok class in today’s lesson we will discuss shrapnel.

"This could explode so best to keep it on a pile of shrapnel to be safe"

u/Guilty_Wolverine_396 3d ago

She won't be hearing herself think for a few weeks ..

3

u/Cyoarp 3d ago

I don't think she was thinking too much to begin with.

2

u/ExtraBitterSpecial 3d ago

I was thinking her own nails probably became good shrapnel

2

u/RealMcGonzo 3d ago

They probably looked for a two liter glass bottle to use, but couldn't find one.
