>Am I the only one old enough to remember 'disk bombs' from the 90s where you filled 3.5" floppies with paste made from strike anywhere match heads so when the disk spun up it melted?
Damn dude that really worked? I remember reading about it in the anarchist cookbook but didn't go through with the effort after getting thoroughly punked re: smoking banana peels and trying out pressure points on older kids
- Sendotsh 8y agoIt just made a little fire, it didn't "explode". It would melt your floppy drive and make it useless but wouldn't come close to doing enough damage to hurt anyone unless they had their face a few inches from the front of the PC.

- grimgrin 8y agoJust so everyone knows what you smoked: > 1. Obtain 15 lb. of ripe yellow bananas. 2. Peel the bananas and eat the fruit. Save the skins. 3. With a sharp knife, scrape off the insides of the skins and save the scraped material. 4. Put all scraped material in a large pot and add water. Boil for three to four hours until it has attained a solid paste consistency. 5. Spread this paste on cookie sheets and dry it in an oven for about 20-30 minutes. This will result in a fine black powder (bananadine). Usually one will feel the effects of bananadine after smoking three or four cigarettes.
