The same crafting ingredients that any video game would require:

  • Glass bottle
  • Alcohol
  • Piece of cloth
[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 41 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Other possible things you want to avoid putting in a glass bottle include gasoline (any grade) and Styrofoam.

Also, definitely don't tape storm matches to the bottle instead of using cloth. Trust me on that. You really don't want it to light it before throwing it and then it breaks and ignites. It'd be terrible

why would one use tape matches instead of a cloth? just so i know to not do it.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 27 points 1 week ago

Cloth wicks can be unreliable and risk splashing fuel around, whereas storm matches are easy to light, wind-resistant, and burn plenty long enough on their own.

[–] despoticruin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

The cloth won't fully seal the bottle, so liquid can fly out and splash from the cloth. If you don't throw it properly or if you "fling" the rag you are going to set yourself or something nearby on fire and lob a non-flaming bottle. Storm matches burn for awhile, and you just need it to ignite when the bottle breaks, so you want to use a liquid with a low flash point and seal the bottle before chucking it.

Diesel wont work (because you specified any grade of gasoline, but people might confuse that with any grade of fuel)

gasoline (any grade) and Styrofoam

And just so no-one has to google this either; it forms a napalm-like substance that sticks well and burns, so definitely something very dangerous that shouldn't be tried under any normal circumstances

I've labeled mine: "For Use on Fascists ONLY"

Alcohol

is the price of petrol really that bad now?

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gasoline is way cheaper than IPA in the USA. And that's cheaper than drinking etoh.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

IPA isn’t going to burn. You need a much higher proof for that.

[–] xerodin@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

IPA: Isopropyl alcohol, not Indian Pale Ale

Unless this is a woosh moment for me and you were making that joke all along. Sarcasm on the Internet is weird 🫠

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, I was making a joke, and I definitely didn’t actually think you were talking about India Pale Ale.

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

What about a nice stout? Maybe with the rocket widget. That do anything?

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

A double ipa maybe? That'll get me near 20 proof. A trippel approaches 30 proof but I've only had Belgians in that configuration i think.
