    the whole point is you don’t store the paper with the bottle, and don’t combine them until right before use.
    paper bags are pretty good.
    rag with a lit bottle are seen more because you can see a flaming bottle a lot easier than something that ignites after it lands… and that makes the latter a lot better for getting away with.
    the anarchist cookbook was just an unedited collection of random pamphlets… some things were accurate (most weren’t)…
    but i didn’t get it from there, i got it from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising

    throwing a flaming bottle gives up your position, especially at night… throwing phosphorus in it is suicidal and i think you’re lying entirely.

      WP suspended inside a flammable liquid is a thing that has been done, both by state and non state actors.

      On 29 July 1940, manufacturers Albright and Wilson of Oldbury demonstrated to the Royal Air Force how their white phosphorus could be used to ignite incendiary bombs. The demonstration involved throwing glass bottles containing a mixture of petrol (gasoline) and phosphorus at pieces of wood and into a hut. Upon breaking, the phosphorus was exposed to the air and spontaneously ignited; the petrol also burned, resulting in a fierce fire.

          Ah, how disappointing. You’d rather be ‘right’ than admit someone else can also have factual information.

          Maybe you should have stayed on Reddit?

            factual information that has nothing to do with my main points, and only shows that someone once did the dumb idea you said?
            nice try, sea lion
