Do NOT Make Homemade Redneck C4 With Flour And Diesel

Definitely do not soak a bag of flour in diesel fuel and let it dry for a day or two. And then, by no means, do NOT insert a firecracker into the diesel flour dough. That's redneck C4 and is super duper dangerous.

This meme consists of a top text block positioned above a photograph of a person outdoors. The text uses exaggerated reverse psychology to sarcastically warn readers against making a homemade improvised explosive, referred to as 'redneck C4', by listing the exact steps to create it: soaking flour in diesel fuel, leaving it to dry, then adding a firecracker as a detonator, and stating the mixture is extremely dangerous. The photograph below shows a person wearing a full-face grey balaclava, camouflage jacket, and gloves, holding a rifle fitted with a bayonet, standing in a grassy, wooded area that appears to be a shooting range. The person's visible eyes have a neutral, slightly mischievous expression, reinforcing the sarcastic, edgy tone of the joke, implying that the person sharing the meme has personal experience with the described dangerous activity and is teasingly encouraging readers to try it despite the supposed warning.

This meme was sourced from 9Gag's RSS feed, originally published on the platform with the title 'Never, never, ever, ever do this'. It is part of a common genre of edgy internet humor popular on 9Gag, Reddit, and other meme platforms associated with gun enthusiast, prepper, and redneck online communities, which uses reverse psychology to joke about dangerous, off-grid activities. The underlying photograph of the masked person with a rifle has been widely reused in other memes with different text overlays.
