I used to make stupid shit in my 70s elementary school that would have me up on terrorism charges in the 20s. 2 come to mind:
Battery bombs: I thought if you crossed the poles on an alkaline battery it would explode. Wired up AA and 9-volts with switches, told the other kids they were bombs.
KDAK: Killer Diller Acid Killer. Yeah. I’d take a 2L bottle, fill it with leaves, dirt and water, chunk it under a bush to rot for a couple of weeks. Told kids they could take a vial to sniff and it would make them temporarily sick to get out of school. I think I actually sold some.
I’m sure there was dumber stuff I’m forgetting. I seem to remember a “bomb” I made out of a fire alarm or some such. Dad was always giving me broken electronics and a trip to Radio Shack was like Christmas. I’d wear the catalog down to shreds until the next year’s came out. “What’s a MOSFET? Do I need one?”
