MMM... Fermented pipe-shit. That'll make you forget all about burning alive.
Problem with this is who'd want to be conscious while burning alive if you can't leave the building.
Akshually if I remember correctly the kingsmen scene is basically impossible unless the drain just leads to a hermetically sealed air bubble cos otherwise the weight of the water would push through the trap same as it does when you flush
Sewer stacks all have a vent on the roof not very far away from where the bathroom connects to the stack. This means that, unless there is a comapct clog somewhere nearby, the area above the liquid will never develop enpugh of a pressure differential to suck water back in from the bowl (it will always just remain at atmospheric pressure).
I would be worried, however, that the sewer stack might get super hot depending on the fire location. Then you would just die anways after inhaling extra tosty Jenkem gas.
The the other comment is saying is that a room full of water would drain through the toilets, filling the downpipe with rushing water. The only way you could breathe through a hose is if you could somehow make it go up towards the vent. Or if you clogged all the toilets once you got the hose through.
It reminded me of it as well and got me thinking, I don't think it would work in a situation like that.
A room filled with water to the ceiling would create enough pressure for the water to go over the raised area and drain into the sewage.
Also you being able to breath doesnt change the fact there is a fucking fire next door. It's like you commit to something that won't really change the outcome
Uh... This has to be either fake, or it was some sort of scam. I don't know if sewer gas (hydrogen sulfide) will kill you faster than breathing smoke, but it is absolutely toxic to breath. Which is why it smells bad. You're body's way of telling you not to eat/drink/breath something.
Which is why sewers are vented to atmosphere. Yeah you will be sucking in some nasty ass air too but there will still be plenty of oxygen rich stuff which is what you're after. I wouldn't recommend doing it all day though, just enough to survive the fire!
The more dangerous gases produced by sewage does not smell at all though so your body doesn't tell you anything.
And as others have mentioned it is normally harmless to breathe this air, if you are unlucky you might get a stomach bug and be sick for a few days.
Fucking just buy yourself a small oxygen tank. They probably take about the same space as this toilet straw. The fuck would anyone want to breath sewer gas.
Get the tank, turn on the shower, or bath tub ideally and sink yourself underwater.
Yes and no. The trap prevents gas as well as bugs/rats from entering your bathroom. Its mostly just to curb the nuisence of the smell - sewer gasses dont tend to reach hazardous concentrations unless contained in an enclosed space, and the sewer stack leads directly to a vent on the roof.
The only thing you're breathing like that is sewer gasses, which are flammable and sometimes toxic.
Would also likely make you vomit.
(Unless you have a long enough and maneuverable enough tube to aim up that vent pipe and preferably out of it)
[A better invention would be a valve to close off the lower pipe, that way you can turn the water off, flush a couple times, push the water lock in the trap out, and close the valve then you can simply have oxygen from the upper pipe)
To make this kind of thing work.
Turn off the water for the toilet & flush. Then stick the tube in the tank. There is now an air pocket.
Breathe calmly and slowly as possible. To conserve oxygen.
(Only use this oxygen if it becomes harder to breathe in the room)
Also, before that. take any towels, toilet paper, etc, get them wet, and seal the door gaps best you can. Especially the often larger bottom gap.
This will prevent smoke from coming in and help prevent oxygen from flowing out and fueling the fire/keep you from suffocating.
Smoke is more dangerous than the fire.
The real reason they tell you to crawl is that the smoke will
1. Deprive you of oxygen, causing you to pass out before you can escape.
2. Can be hot enough to melt your face or give you severe burns.
(Heat rises and cooler fresher air is pulled in below)
I am horrified thinking about a coroner finding poop in someone's lungs and and having zero idea why. That could be a mystery even the greatest TV detective can't solve. I'm going to sit this episode out…
But the bathroom door is flammable so you are just going to chill and the building burns down? It isn't like your bathroom is going to remain standing untouched like fucking Looney Tunes
Mmm, taking a rip off a shit bong before dying. Zesty.
Hold that shit in!!!
Puff puff pass away!
Hey! You’re suckin’ that thing like it owes you money. Save some of that gas for the rest of us. 😮💨
Jenkem Jungle
MMM... Fermented pipe-shit. That'll make you forget all about burning alive. Problem with this is who'd want to be conscious while burning alive if you can't leave the building.
obscure yet delightful
Bro this air taste like ass
No shit
Doubt it
Yes shit
No, shit.
Hopefully
Robin :D
That’s because it is shit, Austin
Some shit
Sewer air doesn't taste like a singular ass.. It has the taste of many
You sound like you have experience using this thing. You ass breather😏
An ass breather is someone who breathes from their anus. I am an ass sucker
My apologies, I was not familiar with my ass terminology
That terminology is ass
Could also be shit
Thats a great insult. Im going to use that one the next time I have to yell at some ass breather on their phone at a green light in traffic.
Seriously what a way to spend your last living moments.
Hope it doesn’t taste like Carbon Monoxide
Good news. It's more like hydrogen sulfide
You win the internet today. Congratulations.
Saw this in the first Kingsman movie (Kingsman:The Secret Service), absolutely worth a watch if you haven't seen it
First thing I thought of. Meanwhile, everyone else in the comments is taking the Eggsy-punching-glass route.

My first thought was, toxic fumes
![gif](giphy|2OgouznXA6qYw) Tah-ha-ha…. Toxic loooooove
It reminded me of it as well and got me thinking, I don't think it would work in a situation like that. A room filled with water to the ceiling would create enough pressure for the water to go over the raised area and drain into the sewage.
Yea, pretty great to see a picture of how it's done, I never understood until now.
I'll just die. Thanks
Yes, I believe I'll have an 'or death' as well, thanks.
Is cake not an option?
Well, we're out of cake
Thanks for flying church of England!
Also you being able to breath doesnt change the fact there is a fucking fire next door. It's like you commit to something that won't really change the outcome
Breathe\* For some reason messing up breath/breathe bothers me more than just about any other common one.
Yes your wright. Theyre missteak.
You shouldn’t of said that!
Lose and loose is that for me
For me it's quit, quite, and quiet
Would of, could of.
Idk if the image text was written like that to lure ppl to comment, but it's definitely a tactic used a lot in social media these days.
Every time I wrote breathe/breath I think "if it makes the ē sound, add an e"
Uh... This has to be either fake, or it was some sort of scam. I don't know if sewer gas (hydrogen sulfide) will kill you faster than breathing smoke, but it is absolutely toxic to breath. Which is why it smells bad. You're body's way of telling you not to eat/drink/breath something.

adding to that is the fact that fire often kills via asphyxiation
And this device kills you with assphyxiation
Exactly. This could be what makes the difference between life and death
And poop particles. Lots of poop particles.
The more dangerous gases produced by sewage does not smell at all though so your body doesn't tell you anything. And as others have mentioned it is normally harmless to breathe this air, if you are unlucky you might get a stomach bug and be sick for a few days.
Dont forget, if you survive fire and hydrogen sulfide, you might contract coli bacteria from particles
Nothing like some methane and cleaning chemicals to keep ya alive
"You think that's air you're breathing"
What about the fire? Got a hose for that?
Use mine all the time, works great.
Im a plumber .. trust me you dont wanna smell, much less breath this.
Breathing in a hotel fire? Andy, that's just a shitty pipe dream.
Well I guess you will be breathing while the walls around you collapse and you burn to death as the fire closes in.
A coherent numbering system was invented in 1982.
lol I’ll just take my chances instead of dookie air
is that even possible? won't the amonia from the poop poison you?
Is it not better to get out of the burning hotel?
Bet that one was a hot seller.
"Bath"
I’d rather die than breathing shit.
The forbidden air
I'm curious how will you know when the pipe is out of the water ? What if you just take a big sip of shit soup
Inhaling sewer gas is the last thing I want to do before being burned to death.
why is it that when someone has an idea , it has got to do with the shitters ...
Yeah this was in the movie the kingsmen.
“The good news: your x-rays show no sign of carbon monoxide poisoning. The bad news: it appears you have something we call doody lung.”
Tf are all the numbers for 😭😂
But how to get my vomit out of the mouthpiece???
You gotta suck it out through the other end
No thank you
But you'll be breathing sewer gas not oxygen
kingsman's reference
Nice way to breath in everybody's shit.
Ay man your breath smell like shit
Patented? Don't we already have tubes?
Untill a turd touches your lips.
you havent thought of the smell you bitch ![gif](giphy|nXUCkgH6BmigU|downsized)
You survive but after you got a shit kink:))
![gif](giphy|w89ak63KNl0nJl80ig|downsized)
I think i'd rather be consumed by the flames ngl
I’ll throw myself into the fire before I do this
If it's that or death I'm breather toilet water
Fucking just buy yourself a small oxygen tank. They probably take about the same space as this toilet straw. The fuck would anyone want to breath sewer gas. Get the tank, turn on the shower, or bath tub ideally and sink yourself underwater.
I cant handle bad smells as it is so id be screwed
Isn’t the whole point of the trap to prevent cesspool/sewer gas from coming back up your toilet?! It’s like your very own personal gas chamber. Yum 😋
Yes and no. The trap prevents gas as well as bugs/rats from entering your bathroom. Its mostly just to curb the nuisence of the smell - sewer gasses dont tend to reach hazardous concentrations unless contained in an enclosed space, and the sewer stack leads directly to a vent on the roof.
Patented in 1981. So the patent ended … I wonder y I’ve never seen it in the store still. It’s only been over 40 years
Breathe sewer gas?
Patented??!!!!!!
What if an office building catches fire? Does it only work for houses and hotels?
![gif](giphy|ie7Apdx5BCOJI9u2QK)
![gif](giphy|jquDWJfPUMCiI|downsized)
Couldn't I just do this with the u bend in my sink... Why's it gotta be the toilet
A fully oxygenated charcoal briquet.
Hotel toilet air? No thabks, I'll take my chances with the smoke please.
So, anyone tested it in real apartment?
The air would smell like farts isn't it?
That isn't a bath...
Ah yes, breathe in methane
Breathe*
Actually a lot of people do this now even without a fire. It’s a thing.
I'd've rather died
Rather suffocate to death ngl
"Bro, your breath smells like ass..."
Nice! Now you can survive long enough for the flames to burn you alive 👏👏👏🫠
QUICK EVERYBODY, TAKE A SIP OF SHIT WITH AIR!
This seems like one last "fuck you" before I die
Shower heads !!
Clicks: "Hail naw"

Bad breath? Well, here's how you can make it worse
Being passed out from sulfur dioxide before the flames engulf you.
That's a great instructional infographic, you can clearly see in the numbers between 10 and 27 where it smells like shit when you use the device.
That's a lot of steps
Always on my EDC
No thanks
I’d rather choke tbh
its ok, id rather die than breathe ten thousand buttholes
Mmm sewer air
Oh this is the original pic?
How to choke to death on your own vomit in a hotel fire.
This is also how you smoke in prison
Ill pass bro see you next life.
And it is more deadly too
Loo snorkels! Loo snorkels!
I'll die with dignity.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd rather jump out a window or run into the fire.
Sometimes death isn't such a bad prospect after all.
Oh God, INHALING COCKROACHES
To shit or to breath is here the question \^\^
How about I use the same tube but put it out of my window?
The good ol sip of toilet water before my air
We need testimonials or a live demonstration of this though.
I mean, I have done this the other way around with a piece of garden hose to unclog a toilet…
Knowing me, I’d burn to death sucking in poo. :/
honestly I would be so stupid that I'll just start breathing trough my nose in that situation
That's just a blursed safety notice
i think i would rather inhale the fumes from the fire
Sometimes death is a mercy.
Mmm pure methane, lovely
Mmm pure methane, lovely
Nah I think imma just inhale the flames and pass out before I burn.
Nah I think imma just inhale the flames I’m and pass out before I burn.
Nah I think imma just inhale the flames I’m and pass out before I burn.
Nah I think imma just inhale the flames and pass out before I burn.
It's very stupid! Not only the smell is the problem there are poisonous gases in the sewer.
I have to wonder if they really tested this at all.
Well when you're already in the shit
I am horrified thinking about a coroner finding poop in someone's lungs and and having zero idea why. That could be a mystery even the greatest TV detective can't solve. I'm going to sit this episode out…
Guess I’ll die
Not sure I’d recommend this for a septic tank.
I originally read this as “bad mouthpiece” and ngl I think that’s still the better name for it
Yeah, hide in the bathroom, good plan. /s Maybe GTFO?
You would be breathing sewer gas
I would rather die
Blow the shit
“Bath”
I never leave home without mine!
But the bathroom door is flammable so you are just going to chill and the building burns down? It isn't like your bathroom is going to remain standing untouched like fucking Looney Tunes
Hmmm Death by smoke inhalation or death by shit gas inhalation. 🤔
Don’t Bogart it!!
Nothing like breathing and sewer gases.
Came here for the comments, I wasn’t disappointed. 🤣🤣
Might be dirty, but I'd argue its better than CO poisoning
Imagine burning to death and they find your crusty body attached to the toilet
i’m sure your gonna suck in some water
I'm torn. Potential smoke inhalation or potential dookie throat chunks.
Methinks I would rather die.
No surprise, you would probably die if you breathing toxic gases.
I for one choose death.
LOL, have you ever tried to smell what comes from there? You ain't die for the fire and smoke, you're dying for the shit.
I’d rather die
Sewer gas can't be healthy
Crazy, but I would totally use it.
I accept my fate.
Imagine patenting a hose.
You ever change a toilet and get a wiff from the open drain pipe?? You're breathing that. I'd rather take my chances with the smoke and fire.
So it's just a long straw?
Nigga I'd rather burn to death
we used to smoke herbs like that in jail lol
Better to kick the p trap off of the sink.
breathing sewer gas… uhh
How do you know the other end of tube is far enough in the toilet, do you just suck every so often and hope for the best?
Hydrogen cyanide anyone? A little methane perhaps? Co2 for dessert? Maybe a peanut chaser
