The resident who put up the palestinian flag:

“I’m not trying to hide – but it was an act of cowardice – scurrying in the night to plant your little bomb on my car – it leaves a bitter taste. There’s nowhere to spit but in this person’s face.”

"We have to stop the terrorists" says man who strapped improvised explosive device to car due to disagreeing with political speech

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

Not as inconsistent as you'd think. Bibi pioneered the use of "terrorists" to dehumanize Muslims, specificaly Palestinians, and create the belief that all Palestinian people are terrorists all the time.

tfw some guy doesn't support blowing up children so you blow up his car

[-] Zoift@hexbear.net 69 points 10 months ago

This "bomb" is completely incapable of exploding, even if you took the initiative to light it on fire yourself.

That is just the idea of a bomb. This is a simulacra of a threat. Cici n'est pas une bombe.

It's like someone asked an ai to draw an improvised explosive then built the output.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

I was thinking that. Why is it so fucking hard for people to make bombs? You can make black powder in your kitchen out of shit you have lying around. It's like a 11,000 year old recipy! And that's not even getting in to how bad people are at making petrol bombs like christ's sake you are literally filling a glass jar with gasoline how do you fail at that?

hello i am not fedposting pls tell me how to make improvised explosive device, have big moles in garden.

cheers, real_leftist154896

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 23 points 10 months ago

In fairness almost everyone in Australia knows how to make something explosive. If you didn't fuck around with canisters of hairspray or black powder in the school field, you definitely read the third book of the "Tomorrow" series where the teen terrorists blow up an entire port with ANFO and the author describes what it looks like and how to get it from any random farm shed.

I am very fond of the idea that white Australia is made up entirely of various sorts of delinquents. "

Controlling ammonia nitrate fertilizer, especially after the OKC Federal Building bombing in the USA in the early 90s, has been a major obective of the US domestic counterintelligence services.

That requires effort and some research, two things these types of zionists are incapable of.

11,000 year old recipe? Can I have a source on that? I thought it was invented some time in the 800s or so.

That has to be the shittiest bomb I've ever seen. All the footage of scrap bombs in Iraq/Afghanistan, all the homemade pipe bombs on police seizure posts, every video game and cartoon I can think of. They clearly gathered everything in the house that seemed explosive, everything under the sink that seemed adhesive, and picked the nearest writing surface out of the trash. They have no fundamental idea of how a bomb works and they're trying to invent one with the same strategy as the apes in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

In a waking stupor I might have just removed it from the car without recognising it was supposed to be a bomb

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 60 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

de-visual-calculus Taped to your car is a random assemblage of trash and debris. It has the lopsided minimalist appearance of an undergrad art project, perhaps assembled in the night by a drunken art student attempting to make a statement.

de-inland-empire Try as you might, you can't seem to puzzle out what that statement may be. Maybe it's a piece about pollution, or commodity fetishism?

de-volition Whatever it is, you'll probably be pulled over if you try to drive with it on your car. Best to take it down.

Sorry what version of Zork am I playing i zoned out for a while

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

The communist version that leaked in from an adjacent brane where games aren't counterrevolutionary.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

Like at least take apart an old clock radio or glue some wires to a nokia.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I started picturing the actual process of this guy angrily throwing this together and it's chefs-kiss. Like as funny as this is to look at, think about the fact that someone actually had to build this, step by step, and at the end of the whole thing looked down at the doohickn't on their kitchen table and said "yep, that looks good". I need to meet this person, get their opinion on some things, maybe ask them for their credit card information.

And this is why I don't advertise my political affiliations on my car 😬 Fucking Zionists

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 28 points 10 months ago

Samsies. To me all the cars in the us with fash stickers on them are just loot boxes for guns, ammo, and chud survival gear if shit gets real. Like thanks for letting me know there's a glock in the glove box, buddy.

I don't even understand how it's supposed to work or explode. You move it, which sets fire to the rag, which ignites the petrol inside? And the nuts and bolts act as fragmentation? Have I got it right?

Incredible honestly.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago

And yet politicians keep acting like it's the Palestinians that are going to do something like this at any minute

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

That's the worst bomb I've ever seen and I've known people who think Petrol is hypergolic.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

Idk about you guys, but I feel more concerned about the amount of people here just roasting the would-be Zionist bomber for making a shit bomb... It's either you guys have read and watched a few documentaries about this or you know this by experience....

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

Not knowing how to build an IED is the 12th type of liberalism.

Excuse me but can someone explain to me exactly how does this not work as a bomb?

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ultimately this is just a rag in a plastic can of probably petrol. The lighter doesn't look remotely operated so has no reason to be taped to the can, and the bolts are just hopeful.

The closest "bomb" to it is a Molotov cocktail, but they don't explode - they shatter and spread sticky propellant over cops. Even if they'd rigged to lighter to be triggered from a distance or by interaction, it would just light the rag on fire. You'd have a good minute or so to put it out or take it off the car before the can melted, leaving a puddle of burning petrol and some very hot bolts covered in melted electrical tape.

Actually, I suppose the lighter could explode at that point. Could take someone's eye out if they were stood next to it.

Edit: Thinking about it some more the ptrol doesn't even look like it's soaked that far up the rag, so even if it was lit, as long as you were quick and careful, you could probably grab the rag and pull it out, leaving you with a burning rag and a free can of petrol, which is very useful in this economy. So it's not just not a bomb, it's so unbomblike it's potentially rather helpful.

[-] Zoift@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

No visible working ignition source: How it that bic supposed to ignite something? You hope the guy idly flicks it?

Liquid fuel: Only thing capable of exploding is the vapors, which are almost certainly not at the correct fuel/air ratio to combust, much less explode. Even Molotovs dont explode, and you aerosolize that mixture with the impact.

No pressure vessel: Lets assume the first two dont apply. The body of the bomb is an unsealed pladtic petrol can. Should any pressure build up in there it'll either vent out the rag hole, or pop the plastic along the seam without propelling anything. You have to have a pressure wave to have a boom by definition, This would just kinda burn itself into a puddle.

This barely qualifies as an incindiary device, much less an "explosive". A bag of unsecured fireworks in the trunk is more dangerous.
