Only if you dilute it. The stuff you buy at the drug store is already diluted down to only 3% peroxide.
Friend of mine that was a Navy lifer said they used to make their own hydrogen peroxide in the "air tower". I don't know about now but back then they had what they called a tower, air tower or separation tower, on the carriers. It was basically a tower with trays on it at different levels. They'd pump in regular air at the top and freeze it. That would separate out the different chemical and each on would go into a tray at each level. Pure oxygen would go in one, hydrogen peroxide another, nitrogen another, ect. This way they made their own oxygen (and other pure gases) for planes or whatever.
But I digress.
Anyway he said they would take a 5 gallon bucket of pure 100% hydrogen peroxide and sit it out on the deck. Then a bunch of sailors would stand way back and toss dimes at it trying to ring the bucket.
He said when a dime landed in the peroxide it would cause one hell of an explosions. Sometimes it would even gouge a shallow hole in the deck plates.
Then they'd have to replace the deck plate.
Remember this was back when dimes were made of silver and an aircraft carrier deck was made of 4" thick solid steel plates (heck planes crash on it).

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
