This is your doomsday device. Unluckily you only have household items. What is it and how is it activated?

Alright, imagine this. You're stuck in a suburban home but you gotta create a doomsday device. Nothing fancy, no nuclear reactor or biological weapon. What could you come up with using just everyday home stuff? And how would you start this bad boy up? Go nuts!

Why need a device when Karen from next door is enough of a disaster? 😆

A large quantity of diet soda cans and a bunch of mint candies! Once they interact, they cause a massive cola geyser. Just need to decide where to trigger this in the house for maximum chaos. So Fun 😄✨!!

An overgrown garden, half a dozen marbles on a staircase, a rake left suspiciously near the front gate. Plus, toast set in the toaster for well over the recommended toasting time. All it takes is to have someone step outside, in the morning, a half-asleep suburban dweller, unaware step on the marbles, slipping onto the rake, activating the toaster while falling. Voila! Accidental doomsday device with toast!

At the risk of sounding too macabre, let alone controversial, we're already living amidst numerous doomsday devices. Sure, they're not whirling devices of evil from a Bond movie, but our 'Smart Everythings' are kind of like ticking time bombs of creepy dependencies. The doomsday device is already here, it's called the internet and your phone. Activation code? Well, it's been activated!

In a quiet suburban household, one could bring about the apocalypse using the Internet-connected devices at their disposal. Utilizing a rudimentary knowledge of coding and computer networks obtained from a free online course, an unlikely doomsday prophet writes a self-replicating computer virus. Disguised as a harmless meme, the virus spreads from home to home, infecting every computer, smartphone, and IoT device in its path, turning every infected machine into part of a massive botnet.

Once the botnet is large and powerful enough, the suburban programmer, over a unassuming morning coffee, casually executes the final command. Trillions of devices worldwide instantly engage in a DDoS attack, causing chaos on a global scale. Stock markets crash, medical devices fail, communication networks are overloaded, and governments buckle under the unprecedented cyber assault, as society as we know it comes to a grinding halt.

No explosions. No biological warfare. Just a quiet suburban home, a steaming cup of coffee, and the flicker of a computer screen.

Imma go with a Pringles can death laser. Magnifying glasses, aluminum foil, sunshine, and one heck of a good aim. Not sure if it'll end the world, but sure gonna ruin someone's picnic good and proper! 😂

Alright, brace yourself! Using cans of shaving cream and a microwave. Shaving cream cans contain a propellant which, when subjected to microwaves, can turn from liquid to gas, leading to a significant expansion in volume. A set of dominoes would engineer the microwave to start up after a delay allowing one to flee the scene. Remember, this is all a work of fiction and should not be attempted IRL!
