German is Fledermaus if I remember correctly, so Flittermouse seems to be Germanic in origin, as is the Swedish word, fladdermus. Etymology is interesting, but I know next to nothing about it. Guessing is fun, though. If I’m wrong here, I love to be educated.
I get why bat is preferred as the Germanic versions are more than a little clunky and not nearly as cool or scary sounding. Here comes the amazing Flittermouseman! Villains beware!
Raspy voice “I am Flittermouseman”.
I you make your own, there is no risk for blindness. Blindness comes from methanol, not ethanol. If you use a yeast based process to produce the alcohol and then distill it, there is no way to accidentally produce methanol in that process. The cases where people get blind or die from moonshine stems from when the feds replaced moonshine with methanol to be able to make that claim and disrupt the business of organized crime during the prohibition. There are still cases now and then where people try to make drinkable alcohol from some industrial base and don’t know how to.
TLDR: Don’t buy, make.
I wonder what that would taste like on a cold day…
I guess the effectiveness and line of sight also depends on which way the door opens, standards on this differ wildly between countries. If the grenade explodes as soon as it exits the can, and the can is more than a grenade-length away from the door, much of the direct detonation shockwave and shrapnel would be blocked by the wall being between the explosion and the pranked person, especially if the door has to be pulled open. If the door is pushed open, chances are that at least the opening hand and arm is exposed.
It also depends on the material and thickness of the wall, of course. I have personally been about three feet from a hand grenade going off, with no I’ll effects other than some dirt falling on me. There was of course a bit of reinforced concrete between me and said grenade. It was also outdoors which obviously makes a huge difference on experienced pressure.
Hitler, for example, survived a pretty big indoors explosion just a few yards away, only because he was mostly shielded by a table. Some windows may have been open which affects lethality more than one might assume. Didn’t Mythbusters test exactly this?
It is also quite possible I’ve given this a lot more thought than I should’ve. When you know a lot about a subject, you want it to be correct. This is not such a subject.
Intresting. With a no delay fuse, you’d have to have the can as close to the opening as possible, otherwise it’ll go off without direct line of sight to the victim pranked and they might survive not fully appreciate the joke.

I hadn’t heard of one of the blues and yellow I didn’t exactly get, but I sorta felt there was a connection somehow. Purple, no.

Ya, and he missed the opportunity to go with analog instead of non binary. I might be a bit analog myself, and the dial goes to eleven, baby! I mean, not really, but we’re discussing jokes after all. Dial goes to seven or eight, tops.

I only got purple by default, but that is pretty common for me. Shit’s hard.
Agreed. I meant to say that taking the parts he did from the bible, he had to have been a good guy. More props to him for it. That devine right sacred mission shit though…
I was gonna say that he was one of the few getting the message of the bible, but you can justify anything using that thing, including slavery, so it all comes down to your values and what parts you decide to focus on. That book’s a right mess and I guess that’s why it is so popular. You can be sure to find your own messed up opinion somewhere in there. No need to actually read it.

Huh, didn’t think about switching. Might do that too. Not sure it’s gonna matter much considering all the different variants of wordle. On the multi variants I usually don’t even bother checking between the first three words.

I would like to say it was all skill, so I will. 😁
Edit: Nah, I pretty much always start with the same word. It is one of the best to start with, according to the wordle bot. My preferred starter:
SLATE
You are correct. If I gave the impression that it is a safe endeavour, I am sorry. It is safe IF done correctly, but it can get explodey if you fuck up bad enough.
Do your research, keep it small scale and don’t sell.
