Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
I'm imagining that his first step or two might be in an inch or so of water, so probably a lot cooler then the center. Though I'm not a hotspringologist so who knows.

No, and now you know why. Most rules are in place because somebody did a thing and died or at least got severely injured.

This reminds me of the old anarchist cookbook in the pre-internet days. One of the projects involved rigging a phone to plug into a wall socket to fry someones BBS hardware. Even in my youth I knew that was really a stupid thing that could probably never work.

Persistent rumour in those days was that the explosives recipes in that book had been deliberately edited (by THEM, presumably) so they would be dangerously unstable and explode as you tried to make them.

I wonder if any competent chemist or other expert has gone through the book to see if that was actually true.

The original was a bunch of unedited and untested bullshit compiled by some kid out of stuff he dug up in a public library in the late 60s. Hanlon's Razor is in full effect here. A few years ago the FBI released their files on the subject, which you can download in pdf form here. It's mostly responses to concerned letters they received shortly after publication and some memos about whether there was anything illegal about printing it. There's also some discussion about the many copycats online.

The FBI's initial analysis was that "From a technical standpoint, it is for the most part accurate but tends to over-simplify in many instances." The drug chapter is half fantasy and half stuff out of patent applications and chemical journals. The combat chapter is barely enough to springboard your own research. The bomb recipes, while generally correct, are not always complete and thus pose more of a hazard to the attacker than attackee.

I remember trying a couple of the things in it after I found it online somewhere in high school (late 90's.)

It had a recipe for "napalm" which, contrary to what Fight Club would have you believe, is NOT frozen OJ and gasoline...it's styrofoam and gasoline. It worked...to an extent.

It takes a LOT more styrofoam than you think to finally get a gel-like consistency, but it was sort of napalm-like. It was sticky and it burned, though nowhere near as hot as real napalm, I'm sure.

Just don't light the stuff on fire then knock a can of it over, watching as it slowly pours into the local creek, setting the entire stream aflame.

... or so I've heard from a very stupid 12 year old who somehow survived the 90's.

I think from a BBS copycat text file rumor I learned some ninja magic to kill anyone. All you need is some of their blood and you mix it with horse poo poo, let that sit for 3 days, then dip your blowdarts in it. You now have a custom made poison to kill anyone. As a dumb kid I thought how the gently caress do you get someone's blood without them knowing it where you couldn't just take all their blood and be done with it? As an adult I'm pretty sure human poo poo would be worse but exact blood typing can't possibly be the worst part of making GBS threads up darts you stick people with.

It completely works as napalm, it sticks to anything and burns. But lacks the self igniting properties that military napalm has. And you're dripping blobs of it around, instead of spraying it around at a few hundred mph via air drops and explosives.

You sure can! Glycerin can be refined from animal fats, then used to make soap. Or nitrated to make nitroglycerine.

It could be a lot stickier, needs something to almost aerosolize it really.

IIRC boiling temperatures will denature eyeball proteins, turning them opaque like cooking a hard boiled egg. Probably just the lenses & aqueous humour in this case, but I do wonder if you could use eyeball squeezins as egg substitute in baking, like you can with blood or eel slime.

The futility of corpse retrieval from a hot spring should be apparent to anyone who has ever used a crock pot. Maybe that's the direction they should take when designing new, more effective warning signs. It's fertile ground for a photoshop contest, anyways.
