And throw it around to the side, not over the shoulder.
Up-and-over can drip all kinds of flaming liquid over you should the container not be sealed properly.
Out-and-around/sidearm flings it to the side.
Make sure you have the clearance to the side and nobody is in the literal line of fire, and you're good to lob your cocktail at the spot you intend to hit.
Super lpt: get a lacrosse stick, become proficient with it.
Super duper lpt: don't shove the burning rag into the bottle. Seal the bottle with whatever normally seals it, then tie the rag around the neck. The idea of a molotov is that the glass bursts open first upon hitting the ground, then the flammable substance catches fire from the rag. Since the bottle needs to break anyway, shoving the rag inside of the bottle is unnecessary and dangerous.
This is how to store them for quick use. Bottle with cloth wrapped around the neck in a wooden crate. Splash something flammable on the outer wick and let loose.
Is that not common knowledge? I mean I guess if I assume people don't know how to throw I should also assume they don't all know how to build them...
I've had a bottle crack from heat and start leaking mid-throw, unfortunately a cap/cork (I prefer cork/rubber stoppers) isn't guaranteed safe.
Combine smart construction and smart throwing for best results
A lot of movies and shows portray molotovs the other way, so if they don't know any better many people might think that's how you do it. And tbf, it does work that way. It's just dangerous and unnecessary.
This guy anarchies
Anytime I had a problem and I threw a Molotov cocktail...Boom! Right away, I had a different problem.
BORTLES!
Please don't burn EVs. Lithium battery smoke is super toxic.
There are other, less environmentally damaging ways to destroy one.

I wish Chris Farley were still alive. Like...Samwise looks like a skinnier Chris Farley. There would have had to have been some amazing spoof videos in that universe.
