    Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail… Boom, right away, I had a different problem.

    I’ve heard that if you use the rag as a stopper it could explode in your hands, so allegedly you should tie it onto the outside of the neck of the bottle and use a non-flammable stopper. In Minecraft or something

      Idk about blowing up but I’ve definitely seen multiple videos where someone throws it and the rag comes out and shoots a flaming stream of liquid backwards at the thrower.

      so, just that i understand this correctly, you’re basically using a glass bottle that shatters on impact, filling it with alcohol/gasoline, closing the tab, binding a burning piece of tissue around it, and then throwing it?

        filling it with alcohol/gasoline

        You’ll want to experiment, but a 50/50 mixture of gasoline and diesel fuel will give improved results. You can also dissolve Styrofoam packing peanuts and/or soap flakes in the gasoline to give it a stickier consistency.

      This is true. Look at the Egyptian American guy who attacked that pro-israel march. He used open glass containers. The second one he threw spilled burning fuel all over him.

      I read once that you can use a tampon instead of a rag, but I think that would likely blow out when you throw it. But, you could stuff a corner of the rag into the bottle, and then force a tampon in behind it to secure the rag/wick.

      The US Army publishes a field manual on improvised munitions. I’ve been meaning to read it.

    I’m a guy and if I ever take up cross stitching … I’ll be making things like this and hang them all over the living room and cover my sofa with plastic

          I would say not only inevitable, but required.

          If you keep the same infrastructure and only change the leadership, things will quickly go back to how they were, but this time the leaders kind of know what to expect from the revolution.

    Nothing is stopping you from getting an embroidery frame and doing it yourself, OP. Embroidery is a cheap and fun hobby, and I heartily recommend it.
