Do you have any idea how easy thermite is to make and how devestating it would be in the right spot? We, I, should be in south america rn with packets of thermite and a drone. Moreover, thermite gets hot enough to permanently destroy magnets. Making it very useful for destroying hard drives and data centers. Thermite packets could be the new molotov imo.

I think I also really like thermite because I find the idea of using the rust left behind by our failing system combined with the value forsaken metal that is aluminum to melt it all down to be very poetic.

Not entirely sure why I am posting this but my roommate (chemistry undergrad) and I (physicis undergrad) regularly discuss the revolutionary potential of various aspects of our studies so I felt I had to share.

In minecraft or whatever. This is all purely a thought exercise

    Imma slow your roll with data centers, they are fucking giant. And graphite powder is much more potent if it doesn’t pass through hepa first.

      I'll take your word for it. I have no idea how large these facilities are and was only thinking in terms of thermites effectiveness at destroying information.
