And Some Other Stuff	comment	Not all writers think Viewers Are Morons. Still, they don't want to teach their audience how to make bombs and then bask in how cool Stuff Blowing Up is. Something about "not wanting to be responsible for hundreds of kids trying to emulate their favorite tv show." Wimps... So, to avoid liability issues and potential criminal charges, some critical ingredient for the explosive is left out, replaced with something less volatile or outright inert, or referred to vaguely (as "stuff", "my secret ingredient", or similar). This can be convenient in many respects, as skipping steps prevents the dangerous aspects from being replicated by impressionable individuals despite how many times you say Don't Try This at Home while also cluing in that what they are doing is entirely plausible while dancing around Artistic License tropes because the details are too vague. Speculative Fiction will usually make the "other stuff" Unobtanium or some real life substance that the average person is highly unlikely to ever come across (e.g. Uranium, Antimatter). This wasn't always the case. One educational TV show for kids that was about rock quarries and marble, mentioned that to break the rock apart they used an explosive made of diesel fuel and fertilizer, now commonly known as ANFO. Other things such as Nitroglycerin and Thermite are relatively easy to come across the materials, but the exact mixture and equipment to do so are harder to come by. Compare Insubstantial Ingredients, for when the "other stuff" is specified, but doesn't actually constitute something physical in the real world; and Secret Ingredient, which is about being tasty rather than explosive. Contrast Noodle Implements, where you know exactly what's going to be used, and absolutely nothing about how. Also see It Runs on Nonsensoleum.

And Some Other Stuff / int_1331990c	comment	Puella Magi Madoka Magica goes a step further â€” a brief scene shows Homura making a bomb in her apartment using instructions she apparently found on the internet, but none of the ingredients have visible labels, and all we see of her computer screen is the words "How To Make A Bomb" reflected in her glasses. Earlier, a group of semi-possessed citizens are setting up an impromptu death cult/mass suicide by mixing chemicals in a bucket. When Madoka sees them doing this, she's reminded of a lecture from her mother about NOT mixing them. The bottles' label text is never shown. (Earlier versions of the scene had distinctive shapes for the bottles implying them to be bleach and ammonia, which can produce a number of toxic chlorine-based gases if mixed, but were converted to generic bottles in the updated DVD version in line with this trope.)

The sailor he's telling his story to tries to inquire further, but Frankenstein refuses because he doesn't want anyone else to replicate his experiment. All of the details popularly associated with Frankenstein's Monster (being sewn together from corpses or any kind of human flesh, use of electricity) originated in Frankenstein (1931).

And Some Other Stuff / int_25fff573	comment	Averted by The Turner Diaries. The segments where the main characters make their bombs are basically glorified instruction manuals on how to do it for real, one of the many reasons why the book is so controversial and frequently banned. This was deliberate on the part of the book's author William Luther Pierce, who held a doctorate in physics and previously worked as a researcher for the defense contractor Pratt & Whitney, and intended for the novel to serve as not only white supremacist propaganda but also a guidebook for would-be terrorists.

The descriptions of the "other stuff" are obviously based on Rule of Funny, while the single named ingredient is the most dangerous, the most obvious, and nigh-impossible to get hold of anyway. In "Steal This Episode", Bart showing Homer how to pirate movies is censored by Fox because Digital Piracy Is Evil; the network airs a NASCAR race instead. The gag is repeated again for an unreveal at the end of the episode.

And Some Other Stuff / int_27b0262b	comment	MythBusters omits bits of information concerning the exact chemical explosives they're using for various experiments. Given the show's tone, this was often lampshaded. There was an episode involving thermite, testing a theory of what might have happened to the Hindenburg. They do mention the two major reactants (aluminum powder and iron oxide) but censor some additional materials needed to make them react when exposed to flame. Lampshaded when Adam held up a pair of chemical bottles with the names blurred out. Another episode censored ingredients with animal sounds, leading to a remark from the narrator about the reaction you get when you "add donkey to rooster." They also did this for a non-explosive myth, where they managed to create facsimiles of fingerprints which would pass biometric scanners based on a copy of an actual print lifted off a 2D surface. When they tested Kirk's improvised cannon, an important step was left out when they made their black powder. Of course, that same step was left out of the original Star Trek episode, so one could argue they were just being authentic. The Mythbusters took a hack at some of the chemistry on Breaking Bad, proving in short order that hydrofluoric acid wasn't quite nasty enough to actually eat through a bathtub. What was? Sulfuric acid and "special sauce", which Adam and Jamie refused to elaborate on. Those who know a bit of chemistry trivia might suspect that the "special sauce" was actually reagent-grade hydrogen peroxide, which when combined with H2SO4 produces a spectacularly violent glassware cleaning product called "piranha solution". They also omit critical steps when demonstrating activities such as lockpicking and other theft-oriented skills. In an "Evening with Adam and Jamie" in NC, they revealed that one of two episodes they outright refused to do involved a myth of an explosive mix of such common, easy-to-access materials with such destructive results, that they locked up all of the footage and swore never to go into much detail again. Even getting the above little info took many people's continued nagging.

The pages about treating injuries more effectively have some actually pretty useful information on splints, tourniquets and the like.

And Some Other Stuff / int_debddf2f	comment	In Ghost Town (1988), Kate uses the leftover black powder to create a bomb. When she throws it and it detonates in the midst of the undead outlaws, it explodes with a much greater ferocity and effectiveness than Langley was expecting; devastating much of the gang.

And Some Other Stuff / int_df277244	comment	In American Gods, Mr. Wednesday manages to scam money out of a cashier by constantly switching between credit cards and cash. In his notes, Neil Gaiman says that what Wednesday did is do-able, but he deliberately fuzzed the edges so that readers wouldn't be able to figure out exactly how he did it and thus pull their own scams (although that didn't stop someone from using another scam featured in the book to actually rob a bank).

And Some Other Stuff / int_ee66462b	comment	Defied in Dr. STONE: When Senku makes gunpowder, he says the exact ratio of ingredients needed and explains how to mix the ingredients together. The out-of-canon character Mecha Senku appears to warn the audience that this will actually make gunpowder, so don't try it.

And Some Other Stuff / int_f0c816fb	comment	The Mythbusters took a hack at some of the chemistry on Breaking Bad, proving in short order that hydrofluoric acid wasn't quite nasty enough to actually eat through a bathtub. What was? Sulfuric acid and "special sauce", which Adam and Jamie refused to elaborate on. Those who know a bit of chemistry trivia might suspect that the "special sauce" was actually reagent-grade hydrogen peroxide, which when combined with H2SO4 produces a spectacularly violent glassware cleaning product called "piranha solution".
