Stupid question: Is it possible to take down a tank with household elements?

Achtung Panzer is a good book to read on an analysis on both the part of the Entente and Germany in WWI tank warfare, it's failings and successes, and then how to put forward a modern and effective tank force in today's (1938) world. This is more the tactics and utilisation of tanks rather than the physical, mechanical development of tanks.

Also check out the Bovington Tank Museums YouTube channel for their Matilda Diaries series and the Tank Chats series.

I managed to dig that up. It's exactly as advertised. The only I issue I have is not knowing where to start. Thanks a ton.

i was gonna chalk it up as tl;dr, but if you think it's worth it i might reconsider

No, I've woken up just a couple hours ago and I'm still in the middle of reading it.

The only conceivable way to disable a tank with household elements would be to crack open the hatch and kill the crew or somehow disable the track, which does not disable the main gun or machine gun if applicable. A good place to ask this type of question would be QTDNDTOT (Questions That Do Not Deserve Their Own Thread) general which sometimes pops up on /k/.
