The same crafting ingredients that any video game would require:
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.
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.
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)
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
is the price of petrol really that bad now?
Gasoline is way cheaper than IPA in the USA. And that's cheaper than drinking etoh.
IPA isn’t going to burn. You need a much higher proof for that.
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 🫠
Yes, I was making a joke, and I definitely didn’t actually think you were talking about India Pale Ale.
What about a nice stout? Maybe with the rocket widget. That do anything?
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.
