So, in case of emergency, do authorities have the right to commandeer these bras for public use?

Of course, if you really want it to be useful, wouldn't it be better to actually insert some kind of filtering lining into the bra?

God what an awful nasal voice with a British accent to match...

I can't believe they're serious. That's no more effective than pulling you T-shirt up over my nose.

 

[TheWesDude]

you have to soak them in water, it really helps their ability to filter the air though

particles will stick and be stopped by the material better when its wet than when its dry.


inc wet t shirt comment in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

In WW1 before gasmasks were standard issue, or if you just didn't have one, a handkerchief soaked in urine would help.

 

[SkuLL]

Yeah they taught us at school - worst case scenario, pee on your handkerchief. I always wondered how much further would I make it in a toxic environment if I had a piss rag on my face...

 

[TheWesDude]

no, it actually works for quite a few things.

and no, not urine. typically you want to use cold water.


rags/cloth soaked in cold water were the "original" gas masks.

What if I prefer urine?

 

[TheWesDude]

then you are a woman and you want to use urine because the urea in urine helps facial skin cells and is in lots of cosmetics.

 

[SkuLL]

Is it? I heard it helps with jellyfish stings and smelly feet, haven't had the chance to test either. You learn something new about piss every day!

 

[Blakut]

In ww1 they used urine because it was effective (and is) against chlorine gas. Try that with anything else and the invading enemy will laugh at your piss-faced corpse.

 

[CloudlessDruid]

this 'urine x jellyfish = urine wins' argument is invalid, it doesn't make sense at all and neither any serious doctor agree with it

 

[SkuLL]

Yeah, but the half-serious doctors are all for it!

 

[TheWesDude]

cold water is best against chlorine, even better than piss.

and pissing on your feet is a good thing, it helps prevent/cure athletes feet. urine is acidic enough to hurt/stymie the growth of the fungus.

How about a golden shower with a beautiful and eager 18 year old young lady...that must be good for something.

That's hilarious!

As long as she's over 18
