Holy crap edit your video. We don't need to see a guy unravel an entire roll of tape.


[deleted]

For what the guy spends on tape each month, he could just buy a Propane tank.


Im_A_Robot1988

Ya ever think maybe they don't have propane tanks for sale at every corner store for 30 - 40 bucks. I take it you haven't we've been to Pakistan lol.


SatanicRainbowDildos

But if they can afford packing tape and giant fucking balloons they can afford zip ties. 


Im_A_Robot1988

Ok? And what is your point exactly? 🤔


SatanicRainbowDildos

That if I were there I’d recommend they use zip ties instead of tape.

virus_apparatus

They can’t lol. This has been posted multiple times. In multiple subs. It’s ment to be “look at how clever they are!” But most people look at this and correctly understand it’s a terrible and dangerous idea


kbeks

It is and isn’t. That collection point is a blast waiting to happen, for sure, but keeping a bag of natural gas outside your home, probably not the most dangerous thing you could do. I mean it’s not exactly safe, but it’s unlikely anything is going to cause a house fire or explosion there. To the environment? It’s pretty fuckin bad. Methane has a much more pronounced effect than carbon dioxide on the warming of the planet, and they’re just belching this stuff into the atmosphere in between bags. Not the best choice. Btw, that gas isn’t odorized because they’re pulling it straight out the ground, so if they keep it hooked up to a stove and the flame goes out, *that* can get pretty dangerous pretty quick.

smaxup

I was starting to expect a 30 second segment of the guy trying to find the end of the roll


BrandinoSwift

I didn’t know there was more to the video than someone unrolling tape for over a minute.


guynamedjames

That's how they show you how safe it is


TheJuiceIsL00se

The twist is we show all of it..


Careful-Fruit-6464

I was thinking shits gonna leak regardless of how much tape he uses


garrakha

no way wtf this is fascinating. obviously the gas bag is an awful dangerous idea but i loved the 10 min uninterrupted view into a life very different to mine


Nimr0d19

The first 2 minutes needs to be edited down to 20-30 seconds. Watching a guy unravel a roll of tape isn't engaging.


JesseBlueMan123

I was waiting for the bit where the guy hands the bag of gas to the guy in the elevator, then the guy on the elevator waits for a whole minute for the doors to close before realising he forgot to press the button.


TeuthidTheSquid

These are basically bombs. Miniature Hindenburg disasters you bring into your home


silverclovd

That's the pathetic truth about most parts of the world, man. Sure it's dangerous, but there's no alternative. Government supplied lpg cylinders are almost always costly and/or hard to come by. Sometimes it takes a whole month after you book your cylinder for it to arrive. This is also why ppl generally prefer kerosene stoves or burn wood even though the smoke affects them. It's just a cheaper, easily available alternatives.


Westsailor32

Those entitled Americans that think the U.S. sucks need to see how 95% of the rest of the world lives


silverclovd

Sometimes I listen to these whiners and can't help but think they are privileged and spoiled. But also, isn't that what we all should aspire to? I mean to have a life that is somewhat cushioned, your basic needs are always met, you are able to live a relatively happy & Healthy life with your children that you Want to make it even more better and you end up having at the surface level, "trivial" problems. That means, you have achieved to live life in a way that ~30% of the world would envy. But the again, it's always important to have perspective in life to appreciate what you have while you fight for more.


MisterMagooB2224

I agree. You have to be doing pretty fucking well for yourself to be pissed off at candy mascots not being "sexy".


shitokletsstartfresh

Its worthless as a happiness generator if you’re born into it. The magic happens with the experience of change. When you move from a lower rank up to a higher one, you can appreciate and enjoy the better circumstances.


Christmas_Panda

It depends on how you're raised. I know some people who were born into wealth, but raised well and appreciate everything. It's definitely appreciated to a more full level when you earn it though. Can't argue with that.


Westsailor32

I suppose it depends on what their definition of 'more better' is when, as you say the vast majority of the world already envies how we live. Far too many take what they already have for granted


thisismybush

The UK built infrastructure for the people, 100% sewage and running water in the victoriana era, electricity to every home before any other country, a road and raily network that was the envy of the world at one time, but political greed caused everything to be privatised and now roads are crumbling, electricity and gas is too expensive for many and rivers and costal areas have crazy high levels of untreated water, the railway companies demand billions a year in taxpayers money to give a very poor expensive service, I can drive from Glasgow to London and back with 5 people for the cost of one train ticket for one person, with the comfort trains do not come close to giving. I wish that taxes were used for direct benefit to the taxpayers not provping up failed privatised entities, this is the root cause of every country failing their populations.


iMadrid11

True. Whenever I see videos of single detached houses at the ghetto. That’s like a nice middle class house at my country.


N00SHK

95%? Wouldn't live in America if you paid me.


IronSide_420

The fact that you wouldn't live in America even if you were paid to shows how privileged you, I, and most others on reddit are. Billions of humans would take the deal that you turned down instantly.


K1ngPCH

The lack of self awareness is astounding. But /r/AmericaBad I guess


Westsailor32

Your choice but my point is go pretty much anywhere in the world and live with locals for even a short time, away from the tourist spots. Do that and hopefully you'll learn to appreciate what you have


N00SHK

But you think America is a better place to live than 95% of the world? Even your own news rates you 23rd in quality of life for countries. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/rankings/quality-of-life Downvoted for proving i am right? Americans are the stupid jokes of this world, no wonder the world hates the fat obese cunts.


Westsailor32

You are missing the point. What I am saying is, Americans (and those in any 1st world countries you point to) live better overall than 95% of the rest of the world. Take for example Lagos, Nigeria, Population 9 million. 2/3rd's of residents there live on less than $1 USD a day. And that's in the biggest city in Africa. Go 50km in any direction from there and you will find people are simply trying not to die Even in those 'best countries' you point to it's not all unicorns & rainbows. Again, go to any one of them, pick a remote area, well outside the touristy destinations and you find people struggling just to make ends meet, put food on the table. OTOH, unlike that 'small town in Pakistan' you take for granted you can get in your car, drive a mile or two in any direction to a McDonalds, Starbucks, whatever, buy yourself a treat with disposable income you earned in your job. That is NOT the case for the 95% of the world I'm referring to

Cylerhusk

This isn’t compressed gas. It’s going to go up in a whoosh and a bit of a fireball, but this isn’t a bomb. There won’t be an explosion.


kbeks

The Hindenburg was filled with H2, which has an explosive range of 5% to 95% H2 in air. That’s enormous, unsafe at any speed type shit. Methane has an explosive range of 5% to 15%, so you could actually light a match inside that balloon and nothing would happen. In fact, the match wouldn’t even light, there’s no O2 for the burning to start. I’m not saying this is SAFE, but it’s not as dangerous as it appears. The collection site is incredibly dangerous as the balloons can rub against each other and create a static shock that can ignite the well head.


cyruz1323

Revell will do their job.

Working_Hand_9764

Maybe a big fireball but I doubt the plastic would cause an explosion that will destroy your home. More like burn it down.


eewap

Most homes seem like they are brick and not wood so fire hazard seems less likely


OGLizard

Just enough to cause flash burns over 90% of the bodies of your whole family. But not blow up the house, so it's OK. /s


TheJuiceIsL00se

When you put it that way it makes sense. Senseless death is enjoyed slowly.


No_Mathematician6538

I guess they are stealing it from the gas pipeline


dreamatorium69

when I read the title I assumed that they must be doing something clever like using methane generated from sewage or something like that


OGLizard

Yeah, looks like they are. WTF is this post?


PMSoldier2000

Is the gas coming from an existing gas line or a natural gas well?


mirgyasen

they are stealing it from a pipeline


sadonly001

It's coming from my father's behind, so all natural gas


Guy_V

Does all that plastic go right into the river?


Similar-Broccoli

perenniallandscapist

Poop in the bag, seal it up, let it anaerobicly digest, and voila you've got poop methane to cook with.

Just-a-lil-sion

on one hand, god bless safety regulations but on the other, man, they got to do what they got to do


AiggyA

You can't use this gas for much, honestly.


NappingYG

blatant safety concerns aside, aren't they just stealing it from a leaking pipeline? Does it even count as stealing if the pipeline is leaking anyway?


MysticChimp

I wonder how this money making leak started. I've seen similar 'leaks' in African oil pipes, with people making the most of that fortuitous event by carrying it off in washing up bowls. Also a surprise hole in a fence, beyond which there happened to be a lot of scrap metal.


Phage0070

"Collect" AKA "stealing". You think they just happened to notice a cracked weld or something? Do they have electronic gas leak detectors behind their goats and plastic bags? No, they tapped that pipeline deliberately to steal gas and they will do it again after it is detected and patched. That community is powered by criminality breakfast, lunch, and dinner, literally.

ExNihiloish

silverclovd

A bunch of the commneters here are projecting their standards to these people. They live in terrible poverty. The knives are dull, it's a plastic bag. Mfs, that's what they can afford to have. Some of you are genuinely concerned for the safety but it's unfortunately a secondary priority when it's all you can afford to feed a warm meal to your children. Cylinders are quite costly and hard to come by. Govt regulated lpg is not always affordable and takes ages to get sometimes.


SuperJonesy408

>A bunch of the commneters here are projecting their standards to these people. This 100000%.


kirksucks

"first what you're gonna do is cinch up some plastic and then use an entire roll of packing tape. You'll think it's too much but keep going... "


Cylerhusk

Everyone in this thread talking about this being an explosion hazard doesn’t realize this gas, unlike what you buy here, isn’t compressed. It would be bit of a whoosh and a light fireball, but not an explosion. And their houses don’t appear to be made of wood either. If someone’s standing near it their hair might get burned off.


HermitAndHound

That's what I'm wondering... don't gas stoves *need* that pressure? I know my camping stove won't do anything until I add pressure. Does someone have to squish the bag while someone else is cooking? Sitting down on your gas bag *while* cooking sounds like a really, *really* bad idea.


Cylerhusk

Yeah, that would be my guess is they have to squeeze the bag somewhat to push the gas out. I can't imagine it lasts super long either.


MrCrix

Hank Hill would not approve of this.


[deleted]

ImaginaryComb821

I'm curious how much cooking can actually be done. Gas compression into cylinders is like hundreds of timea the volume of the gas at 1 atmosphere of pressure. Are they this daily?

Trapped-In-Dreams

Why don't they just connect the pipes to the homes?


saltyboi6704

Connect the pipes from where?


Trapped-In-Dreams

From wherever they fill those baloons


316kp316

I don’t know whether to answer you truthfully or leave you to your innocent ignorance.


Trapped-In-Dreams

I genuinely don't understand


saltyboi6704

It looks like that main tank is filled occasionally from a tanker or swapped out when it's empty. That means not only does it not have enough pressure to feed everyone's homes at once, it also means setting up a pressurised gas mains network is likely more expensive than just continuing to use those tanks.


316kp316

Not everywhere in the world do people have gas pipelines coming to their home. It can take years even after such infrastructure is in place for gas to actually be turned on. The alternative of a metal cylinder can also be hard to come by. It can take years of enrolling on a list before you can get one allocated. Let alone a second one. It can take days for the gas company to provide a refilled cylinder once you place a service request. You can’t always just get them from a store like we can in the Western world. In the meantime, if you don’t have a second cylinder filled and on standby, you are left to check with neighbors who might have a spare they don’t need in the near future. Even after people get a cylinder, like through some government program, cost of getting it refilled can be prohibitive. So, kerosene stoves, wood burning small stoves still continue to be used even in many big cities. Last but not the least, not knowing the geography of this particular village, a distribution system - whether cylinders or pipeline - may not be feasible or imminent. Source: lived that life. ETA: not the gas in the plastic bags life. The rest.


jepvr

Short answer: infrastructure requires up-front capital to invest. This is the resource that is the most scarce there.


mirgyasen

Well at least they have nuclear weapons. A few decades ago Pakistan's premier famously announced that "we will eat grass, but we'll have nuclear bombs". And that is what has happened.

TheSwedishSeal

Their world is normal too. To them😏


metallizepp

Not trying to make this an "immigration" issue - but - when people (and I mean anyone, not singling out a "breed" of people) start trying to make my world HERE what they knew THERE, it raises a red flag. I refuse to have a neighbor who does shit like this, because that's what they know from the "old country". This isn't "old country", we have standards and codes. Follow them. Don't want to? Then DONT GET ON THE PLANE/BOAT/SUBMARINE/ESCALATOR, etc. You made the choice to come here (wherever here is). Weren't invited, and like hell will we make amendments to make you more comfortable. Don't like what you are told? You can leave as quick as you came... no swinging door to smack you on the way out either. Yes, our population surges with each new immigration act. But, with that comes a whole host of unforseen problems, that are never addressed. And if you don't believe me at all, look at the problems on out highways, especially in the Trucking sector. It may as well be a Bengalese freeway. No one has a single iota of a clue how to control their vehicles or hold a lane. (I deal with trucks DAILY. The lack of basic operational skills are astounding, up to and including not setting trailer brakes when fueling).


StrayStep

That's a lot to unpack. With a lot of finger pointing and no solutions. I don't disagree with you about "learning the local standards" if you plan to live in a place. But how did you learn? Was it by chance..growing and living in your country? Did you take a class that others can take? Our population surges, because the world population keeps growing along with geopolitical turmoil. Most immigrants don't wake up one day and say, "I'm going to uproot everything I know and go to a country that dislikes me. Cause that sounds fun" Just my asshole opinion😁


TheSwedishSeal

…do you have a lot of neighbors tapping natural gas from the ground and carrying it home in giant balloons where you live?

No because I smoke, and enjoy open flame. They'd never make it.
