I’m on a medication that gets delivered to me in a dramatically over packaged way every two weeks. Part of this packaging is a styrofoam cooler about 27x22x25cm and two unlabeled cold packs.

I currently have 7 of these and expect to be getting them for the rest of my life. Aside from just tossing them, do any of you lot have suggestions for what i can do with all these coolers?

    Chop the Styrofoam into little pieces. Place in glass bottle. When the time is right, add gasoline. Now you have napalm. Rag for wick./s <-- this means I’m just kidding and you should never, ever do this or throw it at fascists.

      Also, in these situations, you never want to use the rag as a stopper for a bottle filled with gasoline. Instead, you cork the top, soak the rag in oil, and tie it around the bottle neck. Light the rag. When the bottle breaks, it’ll ignite the theoretical napalm.

      Doing this will keep the gas from spilling on you when you throw it. Safety first!

      /s <-- this is all a joke, of course and we definitely don’t condone violence or burning fascists.

      Funny enough, I’ve done this before. The big issues is the styrofoam loses its fluff and you end up with a small glob. It’d be more effective to mix it in a bowl and pump it into the bottle.

          Homemade napalm, is, uh, not like the movies. It’s merely a gelatinous substance, that once on fire, burns forever.

          It doesn’t explode. It’s not reactive, to anything. It just sits in a jar until you take a twig and twirl some out, light it on fire.

          Learn some chemistry, some basic science, experiment! Stop getting your ideas from Hollywood.

            Oh I wasn’t trying to say that napalm is super dangerous or anything, to me your phrasing just sounded a bit like you’d be making campfires inside your home so I made a little joke. Of course its n.o big deal if you just use it outside.
