Buy a furnace and do some aluminium castings. Cast random shit, polish it up on a dremel and sell it on Etsy. Bet you'd get decent cash for an aluminium kitkat and they've got the draft angle built in';

Make a big bag of cans. Take to recycler. Profit.

How about packing them with red clay (we have a lot), then baking them in a kiln? Would the cylinders shrink and fall out? I'm wondering if that could be some kind of brick form building system. Not sure of the value of round, fired clay cylinders. On end, they would not be all that stable. On side, there would be gaps.

We have practically unlimited amounts of clay and natural gas. Large square bricks are an obvious 'yes', but we're also so poor, we have no covered area to do the prep in. Still, I am fascinated by the idea of even having a trailer (to get out of the near-rainforest level of rain here) to do this prep in, build a kiln, and start shitting out fired bricks that... should be impervious to weather.';

this is genius

They are good as throw away crucibles for chemistry.

You can also make a propane forge if you fill them with refractory cement.

They would probably make good plant pots.';

You can cut both ends off of three and one from one. On the unopened side, poke eight triangular holes for pouring, equally spaced around the rim. Poke a centre hole with a nail. Duck tape them all together and toss in a splash of lighter fluid or alcohol and hold a lighter to the nail hole to make a noisy cannon that can shoot leaves and balls of tape.';
