    Listen, I have a quite a few hours in dead rising so I’m basically a pro. /s. Seriously though. I’ve been learning about guerilla warfare quite a bit recently just incase shit really goes down. I also totally don’t suggest learning how to make thermite and I definitely don’t recommend putting a firecracker in a bag of flour and soaking that flour in diesel then letting it dry. That’s really dangerous and totally wouldn’t be an effective C4 replacement. For the sake of covering my ass I have not done the last two because its very dangerous.

      The thing with the flour soaked in diesel really wouldn’t work.

      If you want to do anything with flour you have to disperse it in the air and then ignite it, so that you can take advantage of the huge surface area of the particles mixed into the ready supply of oxygen in the air. If you want to see how this sort of thing goes down, look up grain silo explosions which is precisely this but happening by accident. Getting the stuff wet will turn it into a gloopy pasty mess which is totally counterproductive for this sort of thing.

      Related rando fun fact: The deep orange and red, smoky, mushroomy fireballs you see erupting out of the ground in movies/TV/Top Gear/etc. are dispersed powder explosions typically made with a lift charge and a small amount of powdered non-dairy coffee creamer.
