    I heard the secret sauce is kerosene but no idea why, so I just looked it up!

    Didn’t find anything conclusive about the specific comparison between the two, aside from Kerosene being less volatile than gasoline

    Maybe it’s because it’s safer to make/transport, or gels differently, or maybe they’re wrong and gas is just better.

      To quote a YouTube comment I can’t stop thinking about, “The thermite mixture is a combination of finely powdered aluminum and iron(III) oxide (also called ferric oxide) in a mass ratio of 1:3 respectively, a 5-7.5cm length of fireworks sparkler.”

      Why this was a comment on a War Thunder video will have me guessing forever.

      Kerosene is weird man. I was on acid once and we kept trying to light it on fire with a direct butane flame and it wouldn’t light. Lit a leaf on fire and dropped it and that worked just fine… lol. Never looked into that but was “amazed” while on acid 😆
