Irony.

Oh boy! break out your mass spectrometers and your uranium refinement kits! We're going to have a fun time refining some U-235! ...

Nah!

I'mma go theft myself some HYDROGEN.

or you could just google electrolysis and read that for about 5 minutes ...

Same goes for napalm. Cool stuff.

And toothpaste!

I can name something even more volatile!

That shit'll explode in your face if you so much as look at it 'funny'.

Easiest is aluminium powder and simple iron rust. But there are 56 ways of making it.

Caution though: thermite burns extremely hot. Thus it's extremely dangerous. I suggest you are extremely careful with it or don't mess with it at all. It burns through clay bricks within seconds.

Not really "Household" no, (Well, unless you wanna mash your windows and patio doors! lol) but it's easy to assume that both Aluminum and Iron rust are very very easy to come by without spending a penny/cent! Tbh, a while ago after watching an episode of Mythbusters (Where they attempted to explain the Hindenburg Disaster) and saw how they made their own Thermite to coat a miniture Zeppelin, I was really really tempted to have a go! However, I've never had much luck with those sorta things and decided against it for fear of my own well being! lol.

EDIT: Image of the Mythbusters' miniature Hindenburg Thermite-ing away!

Here's a Vid of the M'Busters 3rd attempt... Tis pretty cool indeed! lol (Unfortunately "Embedding" is disabled for this particular Vid! ) - Youtube.com

They coated the miniature-Hindenburg with thermite paint mixture. They had multiple of these miniatures and used different techniques for each of them (ie.  one was coated purely with thermite, another was coated in thermite and some other mixture [forgot which one that was, unfortunately; the one they used on the actual Hindenberg] in a patterned coat [ie. coat A, coat B, coat A, coat B, etc.]). Hm.. come to think of it, I think they also did test a flammable paint. My memory is a bit foggy, since I haven't seen the episode in a while. Guess you could search for it on youtube.

i didn't have the time to check all the facts of this post because i have to go to class  ... but

I thought it was the fact that the thing burned so fast is what saved people from dying ... it basically was a flash burn ... which prevented many people from being roasted to death or catch on fire themselfves

Aluminium is everywhere, also rust. Use knife to gather rust from metals and find useless bit of aluminium and use file to turn it into powder. Some metals burn pretty well in powder form, this starts reaction with oxyde (rust) and result is lots of heat.

And wiki says you can use any combination of metals and oxydes that are listed there. Thus 56 ways.
