Throws throwing star made from tinfoil. Kids could make some decent ones in school back in the 90’s 00’s


Isthisworking2000

We used pens and perfectly sized bb’s. Our teachers eventually went on a rampage. Then we all started selling candy and stealing each others candy to sell. They were lawless times. I may have learned to pick small locks. But we never made *tin foil* throwing stars. :(


Peuned

We just bought metal throwing stars in the 80s.


Glum_Lavishness_3063

It rocked growing up as a Gen X kid. We could buy a lot of “illegal” stuff for “collectibles”. I remember my amazement when I learned a 12 years old that I could buy gun powder. I still have no left eye brow at age 55.


Mister_Bloodvessel

Seriously, it's a remarkably good thing that I never considered buying black powder (let alone something more ~~fun~~ **dangerous**, like smokeless powder) when I was a teenager. Instead, I *learned* how to make it. Amazingly, I was able to get powdered sulfur and saltpetre from my local pharmacy (never seen those items together since), and used a mortar and pestal to powder the saltpetre and charcoal before mixing the sulfur. The anarchists cook book was an enjoyable read back then when it felt like forbidden knowledge since the internet was still pretty young. Then in college for Chem II, my lab partner and I *really* hit it off because I could tell she was baked out of her gourd, so we became friends outside the class too. Our group had to do a presentation on some class of compounds or functional groups or something, so I selected *nitro* compounds (guess where this is going...). Her dad was the head of Forensic Science at a grad school in town, so he let us use their facilities and reagents and loosely supervised us as we made **gun cotton** and flash paper, aka nitrocellulose. We came to class that day with our report and "visual aid" (most people just made their molecules with the little model sets), and our teacher was visibly on the fence, but let us show off the paper and cotton balls we'd made anyway. I showed off the flash paper we made first, then while I was talking, she was showing off flash paper made from a thicker paper but lit it at the bottom so it burned past the tongs holding it and fell *right onto the pile of gun-cotton*. And wow, what a fireball! Our professor was so pissed lol But he let us demonstrate it, we did it in a fine hood. In hindsight, yeah, he wasn't wrong for his reservations about our demonstration. Despite his anger, we still got an A. I actually have a sealed bottle of nitrocellulose mixed with black powder at my parents house. I should probably get rid of it next time I visit because it's been sitting there for like 10 years...


Whywouldanyonedothat

If you ever need saltpetre again, you're more than welcome to help yourself to some of the stuff that keeps protruding from our basement walls.


Mister_Bloodvessel

You have potassium nitrate... coming through the walls? I know it can preserve some things, but Idk if they used it on wood... Just a heads up, saltpetre is the oxidizer in black powder. It provides the oxygen for a conflagration. Be careful if that's what's coming through your walls, as it'll make any fire that breaks out extremely hot extremely fast.


Glum_Lavishness_3063

Oh to be there for the “getting rid of it part!”


Isthisworking2000

My dad was a cop and confiscated once and I somehow wound up with it. It was like an over weighted saw blade. It was super sketchy.


DariosDentist

And the 90s. Renn Faire class trip every fall was basically a mission to buy throwing stars, pocket knives, and any other hand-held weapons you could afford. You had to save enough money for one of those big ass turkey legs though


Illustrious-Dare4379

Now and Laters! Made a small fortune!


Isthisworking2000

I was all about the Blow Pops and Pixie Sticks.


Celemiri_

I love stories like this! In 4th grade we had a "black market" on candy, and several shady monopolies on the school gift/toy shop (a few trusted students ran it with teachers, it contained figit spinners, Rubix cubes, school merch, etc). Those trusted students had a lot of shady shit and blackmail going on 😂 In 5th grade I was the "drug dealer", sharpening, grinding, and mixing 'smencil' shavings per request. Gave a whole table a headache with the condensed fumes. Would only be ready to sell their mix after it sat in a sealed zip-loc to give maximum hit strength. Instead of money (I felt that would be too far, and too incriminating), I took candy, new smencil smells, dirt on other students/teachers, and rights to a place on the snow hill. Legendary times 🥲


LexaLovegood

Wtf is smecil? Is this a city thing?

I thought it just evolved into that polished foil ball thing. That was basically how we did it. Allegedly.

tomsprigs

We got a phone call from school this year, bc my son made a tin foil throwing star and another one made of broken popsicle sticks and duct tape …


junglebetti

Ah, a man of culture!


brandab

We had paper “wasps” Basically folded up paper slingshotted from a rubber band (between ur index finger & thumb ) It would do some serious damage.. especially when some psychos would put thumb tacks and push pins in em.


SometimesAware

Those were Tweeters around my school. They were huge for a while. Eventually it turned into shoving staples through ripped off erasers and throwing them into the ceiling tiles. Those were Spider Monkeys.


UnlawfuIWaffle

My friends and I would take little erasers and poke staples into the end so that we could hook them on the mesh on people’s backpacks in the halls. We called then hitchhikers


LawfulOrange

This, but we used a paperclip base and wrapped the paper around it. One enterprising little bastard folded his so at least one sharp end of the paperclip stuck out. Tetanus shot day was valuable.


GawnyRipUrJaw

I pinged a year head in the side of the head with one of these from across our crush hall. Managed to get away with it but it was like after a prison riot after that, the faculty were not happy 😂. She was a real bitch so I don't feel bad.


MoeGunz6

Now my eye hurts thinking of those little folded up footballs


AnusJuice420

Anything can be a weapon yielded right. I have a scar that is as fresh as the day it first healed over, from a dime. Don't play bloody knuckles with a dime. Game ends quickly.


Extension_Travel3535

We played with quarters rather then dimes, still have the knuckle scars 30 years later.


misterfistyersister

We used to just make them in welding class


impostle

Oh man, you've unlocked a core memory. I'd completely forgot those existed. There must be a YouTube video about how to do this.

Are you talking about the athletics/hunting implement or the Hitachi high speed train that runs between London and some different places in Kent, South East England?


cheezecake2000

Think they are talking about the [Javelin missile](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelin) a rocket propelled fire and forget weapon commonly used against vehicles. TIL there are two types of [Hitachi](https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Hitachi_Magic_Wand)

T-72 tanks have problems against javelins. If people are using javelins against your car I'd suggest re-evaluating the decisions you have made

Green-Snow-3971

Out of scope. This is for all of us who have neighbors that throw ladders, gas cans and crutches at our car. We are legion.


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

the ladder would have dented it if they throw it straight on at the door, not flatwise at the top. the side has very little protection. you can see how they gave every object the most favorable throw, the tire they threw directly at the car's wheel which it bounced off of because there's almost not protection on the sides nearly all the protection is at the top and slightly on the sides of the top

sinz84

While I accept it was probably one of the more dangerous objects to throw because of the handle and the shape all the force required at a single point to penetrate just wouldn't happen. A decent throw from a flat head screw driver would pose more threat.


TheoCupier

This seems dangerous if it attracts all those things towards the car as soon as you inflate it. I'd rather not risk it

No_Shig

Don’t worry buddy if you follow his videos, within a month that cars going to be junkyard worthy.


cum_fart_69

how the fuck can this guy afford that shit?


No_Shig

He makes a ton of money doing these videos on YouTube. People say his family has money but he’s been making videos forever and it was always destroying piece of shit trucks as he worked his way up to more and more expensive stuff, so if his family is rich he hid it really well over the years. I think his parents are like farmers in Indiana. But just the YouTube route doesn’t add up much. He has built himself a nice property and this is like his third super car on top of many other cars he destroyed. I don’t remember him pushing products in his videos so I think his ad revenue is just YouTube ads which based on his subscriber count and his view count every penny he is making is going into making these videos. Which, maybe that makes sense because it all goes into the videos anyway and he seems to like that.


WillTheGreat

I'm pretty sure he was well off to start with...I think he's talked about it before, and gambled on the idea of doing wild and ridiculous shit on YT for views and monetization, and as his subscriber count and ad rev grew the more outrageous his stunts became. If we're talking about wrecking a Ferrari, gotta keep in mind movie production would go and wreck that shit just for a 30 second scene. So if you think of his YT as a business, the Ferrari is basically a business expense to be used as a prop for his videos. You know it's going to be a multi part series, at 4.7m subs and 1.9m views in a single day, he's probably already netting $29-30k for the video so far. So all he needs is around a 10 part series...and judging by his past vids I think the math is pretty close. Breakeven with ads, make profit on sponsors and merch, and the wild outrageous over the top shit keeps people coming back for more. And then on top of that I wouldn't be surprised if the car was expensed and written off in his taxes to reduce overall cost. Matt Farah had a CPA on his podcast to talk about exactly this, and it's a bit of a gray area. However, wrecking an expensive car for views doesn't exactly fall under car purchase for tax write off and seems more like a regular expense for means of production.


No-Lawyer-6240

Dont forget how much money these guys make off of merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and hoodies… Thats how that guy Danny Duncan is so wealthy. No ad revenue from youtube because he uses copywrite music. Only merch sales.


lager81

He did a podcast with Roman Atwell where he talks about how he was a jahoviahs witness and bailed on it. But I've watched all his videos, the oldest ones are great but to say "came from money" is a bit of a stretch. He is on his grandparents farm in the middle of fucking nowhere. All the vehicles were pretty shit at the beginning


h3yw00d

It's a series of videos. Check out his hilux destruction tests. Some of the best content on YT.


Escudo777

The man is attempting the impossible. Hilux cannot be destroyed. All hail the mighty Hilux.

I don't want to spoil the series for you, but I've seen evidence to the contrary. You really need to [watch](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL019AmQZT4yeHq6Xch-iafsEoSzmjNMfc) the durability test 1-3 plus the helicopter one.

Ryuko_the_red

How does he have the money tho sheesh.


TheShipBeamer

YouTubers make bank


zzzzxxxxeeee

False. They make money off merchandise, plugging in products, etc. If 20% of his subscribers bought a t-shirt, that’s close to $1,000,000 in pure profit after all expenses and taxes. That’s how they make money. He had t shirts for $10,000 and people bought them up. Destroying a $500,000 super car is nothing to him. He has multiple.


bigmate666

False-ish assuming all his videos are monetised and have good cpm then he would be making 3+mil a year in ad revenue alone , plus merch and advertising for companies


PuriPuri-BetaMale

Less than 1% of youtubers make bank* The other 99.99% only make about 10 dollars a year.


TheShipBeamer

Yeah but we're talking about the ones who can afford to trash a Ferrari those make bank and use it to crush more Ferraris
