Hi there!
So... we want explosions for our avis! there are way not enough explodable items for our avis. Of course, there are a few items
There is the "human's smoke bomb" and in the Lyndexer's Journal you have a background that looks a little bit like a nuclear explosion. There also is the nuclear mood bubble.
what's the problem?
burning_eyes NOT ENOUGH! burning_eyes
The "Human's Smoke Bomb" doens't really explode...
Lyndexer's Journal is a big and pretty expensive package to buy for someone who only wants a nuclear explosion!
so: the nuclear mood bubble is all on it's own!
That's why I've started this petition: WE WANT EXPLODING ITEMS! Semtex, TNT, PETN, Gelignite, and of course the ever succesful ATOMIC BOMB!
Wake the terrorist/scientist inside of you and SIGN this one!
If you feel like designing an item, please do so: We are up for anything close to explosives!
We LOVE explosions!

Hey, I suddenly felt the need to add this: we want bombs, so why don't we make them? (Don't try this in your kitchen, it can go terribly wring. Hire a lab to do it!) This is a REAL recipe for TNT, so be careful with it, okay?
How to make TNT in 15 steps
Introduction
TNT is hard to make. This is a warning. You need to be extremely careful with it. Now, You probably all think: why do I warn you for TNT, while I didn’t warn you for Plutonium? Because... the trouble you’re going through with plutonium can be solved with a pair of gloves and a little mask... and because it’s made-and-ready. You don’t have to mix up chemicals to obtain it. Be careful, have fun!
STEP 1.
Take two beakers. In the first, prepare a solution of 76% sulfuric acid, 23% nitric acid, and 1% water. In the other beaker, prepare another solution of 57% nitric acid and 43% sulfuric acid. (percentages are on a weight ratio rather than volume).
STEP 2.
Ten grams of the first solution are poured into an empty beaker and placed in an ice bath.
STEP 3.
Add ten grams of toluene, and stir for several minutes.
STEP 4.
Remove this beaker from the ice bath and gently heat until it reaches 50 C. The solution is stirred constantly while being heated.
STEP 5.
Fifty additional grams of the acid, from the first beaker, are added and the temperature is allowed to rise to 55 C. This temperature is held for the next ten minutes, and an oily liquid will begin to form on the top of the acid.
STEP 6.
After 10 or 12 minutes, the acid solution is returned to the ice bath, and cooled to 45 C. When reaching this temperature, the oily liquid will sink and collect at the bottom of the beaker. At this point, the remaining acid solution should have been drawn off, by using a syringe.
STEP 7.
Fifty more grams of the first acid solution are added to the oily liquid while the temperature is slowly being raised to 83 C. After this temperature is reached it is maintained for a full half hour.
STEP 8.
At the end of this period, the solution is allowed to cool to 60 C., and is held at this temperature for another full half hour. After this, the acid is again drawn off, leaving once more only the oily liquid at the bottom.
STEP 9.
Thirty grams of sulfuric acid are added, while the oily liquid is gently heated to 80 C. All temperature increases must be accomplished slowly and gently.
STEP 10.
Once the desired temperature is reached, 30 grams of the second acid solution are added, and the temperature is raised from 80 C. to 104 C., and is held for three hours.
STEP 11.
After this three-hour period, the mixture is lowered to 100 C., and is held there for a half hour.
STEP 12.
After this half hour, the oil is removed from the acid and washed with boiling water.
STEP 13.
After the washing with boiling water, while being stirred constantly, the TNT will begin to solidify.
STEP 14.
When the solidification has started, cold water is added to the beaker, so that the TNT will form into pellets. Once this is done, you have a good quality TNT.
STEP 15.
The fifteenth step is more something like an apology. I know there weren’t too much (say none) jokes in this manual. That was, because when I do something, I like to do it right. I know that any atomic bomb with enough plutonium in it will be likely to explode (more or less). I also know that making TNT with the wrong recipe is a recipe for disaster... So, please FOLLOW THE RECIPE!!! The temperatures are NOT APPROXIMATIONS! Use a good thermometer, and don’t dare to change the values! The ghosts of all dead scientists are looking down upon you! (And if you do change them, you are very likely to keep them company)
Thanks for your attention! Have fun exploding things! Surprise your neighbors with this extraordinary science project (make sure not to blow any living samples... Opposite to atomic weapons, TNT doesn’t vaporize the remains, and I can tell you: that’s a mess you don’t want to clean up!)
