If we get 30 years for touching zines, then there's not much point to keeping peaceful. Here's a recipe for mass producing molotovs:

  • 1 large styrofoam box
  • 20 gallons of gasoline
  • 128 glass bottles
  • 128 wicks
  • 1 sealed bathtub, preferably outdoors
  1. Place the styrofoam box into the tub
  2. Pour the gas into the box
  3. Allow the box to dissolve into the gas. Stirring can help make this go faster
  4. Fill the glass bottles
  5. Seal the bottles and attach wicks to the exterior of the bottles
  6. Light the wick
  7. Throw

For real napalm-2 you need benzene. I'm not entirely sure what the ratios are for each, but the anarchist cookbook called for 50/50 on gas and polystyrene, but it might be too thick. Either way, when testing don't breathe the fumes

Oh you mean that stuff you can get at any headshop for cleaning glass?

What does the styrofoam do?

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

turns it into homemade napalm - sticky.

While more expensive than gas, toluene makes for a much better product.

Did you ask AI for that overly complicated and outdated recipe?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you have a better one to share?

Yeah...

  1. Pour something flammable in a breakable bottle.

  2. (Optional) Put something that dissolves in flammable stuff to become a sticky flammable substance.

  3. Put fabric in bottle, light and throw.

The entire point of Moltovs is they're assembled and used very quickly so there's no crime until an overt act. And nothing specific or unusual that can be tied back to someone afterwards.

This isn't hypothetical, this is the literal history of Moltov cocktails.

Anyone making 128 molotvs at once is going to blow themselves up, or best case scenario but themselves alive.

It's one of those ridiculous things that could only come from ai hallucinations.

We live in a fascist state now. That is why this is happening.

Provided you move a box into a gaudy bathroom, there is no penalty.
