No this isn't a thread about your experiences with Fireball whisky. You can start that on your own.
As a kid I remember pounding a wad of matchstick heads wrapped in foil with a hammer for a "bang".
My kids frequently repurposed piccolo pete's into fire crackers.
However, my most memorable bang was the time I experimented with a cherry bomb packed in flour.
I wondered if you could spread out the flour enough so it would ignite like it does when granaries go up.
In the middle of a large dirt field we placed a large non metal container (no top) with flour and the "device" using a very long fuse.
It went of with a bang then a bigger Wump that rattled windows a fair ways away and the fireball was massive. Yup granery fires are a thing.
I am glad we took mythbuster's like precautions and didn't risk anything. Now I'm wondering if tannerite in a dryer full of flour would go off? Nah, just kidding.
If you do decide to blow up a dryer, please haul it and all the garbage away.
Stay safe (and legal) out there.
