      Uh, wait, the jelly i once made in my dads workshop by dissolving styrofoam in gasoline, was already a napalm substitute?

        So I have no other reason for sharing this than “napalm substitute” and I never get to talk about it.

        My dad and his brothers dumped a bunch of packing peanuts into gasoline to make the soup, got a bunch of tennis balls, and DROVE A CAR (junker, but still) onto a frozen lake, with lighters and candles, a small bucket of gasoline and a bucket of water.

        The plan was for one of them to drive around sliding all over the ice while the others dunked a ball into the soup, light it, and throw it at the car.

        Now you might wonder why they did the napalm substitute.

        Because THEY ALREADY FUCKING TRIED THIS with regular gasoline, and quickly found out gasoline soaked tennis balls splash when thrown. Specifically onto their backs. While burning. I’ve seen burn scars on at least two of his brothers from the shit they did as teenagers.

        So the napalm was a bit more grippy to the balls. But still not enough.

        Apparently they never figured out how to “safely” do it, but boy that sure didn’t stop them from doing this several years in a row.

        I saw his lake frozen over ONCE when I was a child. Nowadays it barely gets ice around the shoreline.

        I don’t think they ever had a plan for if the car actually caught on fire, my guess is “let it burn into the ice, sink, and forget about it”
