Well then you would uh... ice ICE's ICE.

bad dum tish!

Not really though, basically, it clogs up the fuel pump/filter.

Not likely to... immediately or quickly immobilize the vehicle... but it would increase maintenance costs, and decrease fuel efficiency and reliability.

...

If you wanna go for something uh... faster acting, more immediate and more serious:

A whole lot of water.

That'll make the engine choke and sputter and stall if you use enough.

So... use ice to ice ICE's ICE?

Uh... in minecraft?

...

Sand will also clog up the filter, and cause more damage inside the actual engine if any gets through the filter.

... A whole bunch of polystyrene packing peanuts would ... also be 'fun', rofl.

The way they chemically interact with gasoline... basically gellifies the gasonline, turning it into shitty, syrupy napalm.

I am guessing a very gooopy gasoline is... not going to help a car run well, please actually do not test this rofl.

I am not a chemist, but uh chat gpt says polystyrene + gasoline is an exothermic reaction... so that... generates heat... and gasses... and that could be bad... in a tightly sealed container...

😅

Make sure there's no small pockets of flourine gas sealed inside of packing peanuts before using them.

That would be very bad for everyone within 100' of the vehicle.

That's not a thing at all. Fluorine would react with the peanuts before anything else. There's no fluorine in the peanuts themselves either. So dissolving them would also not release fluorine.

Please don't spread incorrect information.

Oh dear god, does... is that a thing that happens with polystyrene? Fluorine gas pockets?

See, I am not a chemist, but I have enough basic chemistry knowledge to know you do not fuck around with fluorine.

Like I legitimately wasn't kidding when I said 'dont actually do this.'

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

No. It does not happen. I don't know what they're smoking. Not fluorine though, because they'd be dead already.
