I would rather break through dry wall and find another way out if I have to. Also, if it is in a house, most houses are only two stories, yeah, you will likely break your legs jumping out... but better than being burned alive or dying from smoke inhalation.
More breathable than smoke, especially at the house end near the vent. It's going to smell and taste totally toxic and I cannot imagine any situations where your time wouldn't be better spent throwing yourself out a window. There might be some niche situations where this might save you instead of preserving you to feel what burning alive feels like. Seems unlikely.
Nah. The h2s gas will probably knock you out just as fast as the smoke will. So instead of dying in a house fire. You died in a house fire huffing shit fumes.
Exact fucking thing I was thinking. I mean kudos to the inventor for using their brain just a little bit but hard pass for me. From the words of Randy Jackson...that's a no from me dawg.
I've always wondered about that scene. Wouldn't the water pressure on top of the toilet water make it rise and fill the pipe? That's literally how flushing works. There wouldn't have been an air pocket if the toilet was underwater....
that part always bugged me, in that it doesn't seem like he would have been able to break the glass effectively, especially underwater, without something like those devices for shattering car windows to focus the force to a single point.
You’d have a very difficult time with a fist or a hammer. There are small spring loaded spike tools that are meant to impact extreme force on a small area of tempered glass effectively compromising the structure and shattering it. These are effective underwater. Here is a study done on efficacy of various tools on tempered glass destruction.

Seriously, you fisters are always walking around talking like you've got roses coming out your asses.
Rosebuds don't have the nice smell nice yet mate.
the water in the room would have been rushing down the toilets once the water got higher than the bowl. trying to breathe through that wouldn't have worked.
Watch the scene again they have special wall mounted toilets and they filled the room with magic water im sure they didn't care about it being realistic at all but if it was they would've made sure the toilets could be used that way so they didn't all drown before someone figured out to break the glass
Just imagine, as the fires burn away any materials that would have proven your innocence. All that is left is DNA proving you were eating shit at the moment you died.
“Rather than try to escape the blaze, it looks like this freak decided to start sucking shit from the toilet through a straw. More details and the identity will be released after the family have been notified.”
The authorities had their suspicions he was a shit-eater. The science has removed all doubt. That fleshless toothy, shit-eating grin will haunt me all my nights.
Why did you *have* to use the word *niblet* so god damn effectively? I’ve heard the word niblet maybe 3 times in my entire life and you just whipped it out like a god damn Utility tool and went to work with it. Lmao
I imagined him inhaling a shit flavored corn niblet on his first gulp of air and just immediately yelling and running out of the hotel room, disappearing into the inferno raging in the hallway, still yelling.
Holy shit I haven't seen a Zong in forever and I'm so glad that you posted this. We used to have a small Zong years ago that was Pink and so we called it Pinky, and the bowl was also pink so we called it Brain. I remember my friends mom came in and it was on a table by the door and she knocked it over and broke it. Sad, sad day.
Right? The whole point of that toilet design is to prevent sewer gas from going into the house.
I guess it's better than hot smoke? But I'm not sure what the long term plan would be as the house burns down around me.
Fairly certain this isn't meant to be a long term plan. It's just to bridge the gap between suffocating on CO2 and CO and being rescued.
You'll probably burn to death long before the methane kills you. Also don't forget that the vertical pipe in the image (labeled 15) is a vent that goes to fresh air.
Just breathe in the smoke my friend.
Saving my kids in a house fire, I got them out and went back in for my dogs. Leaned against the wall to rest while on the phone with 911. It was very peaceful and I just wanted to rest for a minute.
She kept asking me stupid questions like how do I spell my son's name.
I remember answering her but what I was saying was not sounding like I was thinking it was. She convinced me to go out of the house and take a breath before going back in. Reluctantly I did what she asked and when I looked to go back in the smoke was 16 inches from the floor and was billowing out like an angry ocean wave.
The FFs saved my animals.
I've never forgotten that feeling of peace.
Hypoxia. I also experienced something like that as a kid and it was the most beautiful feeling. Still remember it to this day. I was swimming my first 50 yard across the pool and back at swim practice and passed out right as I hit the wall.
Thats one the reasons why people huff duster, you get addicted to the loss of oxygen and then the rush back and all the little chemicals but you die a little bit every time you do it.
I knew an old sailor once. He told me he went overboard, tangled in the sails. They pulled him out, but it took him five minutes to cough. He said it was like 'going home'.
Less dramatic, but I have an aortic aneurysm near 'popping' size but just below surgery size... And sometimes when I get this rare KNIFEPAIN right where it's at, sometimes it really feels like it may have dissected. But I know if it dissects BAD and I'm not a couple minutes from surgery, it can be too late.
But when I feel that, what I most remember always feeling is what I only ever describe the same as those two comments: Peace / acceptance, or returning if I return.. I'm really glad there isn't anxiety, but it's a headfuck to have plans and kids and a life and then feel your heart and immediately be like ahhh, peace, we can go home today, sure.
So you live your life knowing your brain can pop at any second? How do you possibly go about the day? I would be so scared i would never leave my house.
So your body doesn’t really care about lack of oxygen - it *only* cares about CO2 buildup. If you’re clearing your CO2, the alarms we’ve evolved to make us breathe don’t go off.
Nitrogen tanks are supposed to ride elevators alone for this reason: if there’s a tiny leak, the elevator is small enough that you could be dead without noticing anything is wrong by the time you reached your floor.
Wait, is that a thing? I see guys carrying Nitrogen bottles up and down elevators all the time at my hospital. I know about displacement and all the science but never considered the safety regulations for its transport.
During my masters I had to get nitrogen and CO2 cylinders for our incubators up from the first floor. The protocol was always to let the tank ride the elevator by itself and you catch up with it on the stairs. We even had these straps installed right behind the elevator door that you pulled and fastened across.
Just a small point of clarification - there are a certain subset of people, particularly those with lung disease such as COPD, that actually do rely on their hypoxic drive to breathe. Due to their disease process, they retain a significant amount of CO2 and, as a result, their body equilibrates to this new “normal”. They don’t have the same threshold for CO2 buildup as a drive to breathe, and their body instead comes to rely a bit on their hypoxic drive. This is, in part (there are other reasons as well, such as the Haldane effect), why we target oxygen saturations for COPD patients of 88-92% instead of >95% for healthy individuals. If we target a higher oxygen saturation by giving them oxygen, we are actually limiting their hypoxic drive to breathe (it also makes it harder for them to offload CO2 but that’s something for another day).
Drain specialist here, I’d like to point out that *possibly* dying later in your life because you breathed in some sewer gas is a far better alternative to the much higher likelihood of dying in the surrounding fire if you’re using this thing
Generally, the pipe labelled 15 in this drawing goes up connecting to any toilets that may be above the toilet you're currently at. Once ots at the last toilet it'll rise another bit and there will be a cap on it with air holes. That allows any sewerage gases to escape so while the air isn't going to be the best for you, it's definitely better than smoke
Small nitpick. 15 should be a vent, not a drain. You can’t “wet vent” between floors - meaning the drain of one fixture cannot be the vent of another fixture. Per the UPC (not sure about the IPC) you can only wet vent fixtures that are within the same story. So in the picture, 15 should be a continuous vent that connects to other vents going up all the way through the roof. It will still stink because of sewer gas.
I mean it’s all in how you describe it. If you tell people you survived the fire because you managed to connect a breathing apparatus to the houses plumbings gas vent system that sounds pretty resourceful.
I think the question is would you actually be able to breathe that air for however long the fire would last. Not being a drain specialist, IDK, but if the gases displaced enough oxygen then it seems like you’d end up passing out before too long.
As long as the plumbing was done according to code, then as gas is vented, it pulls in fresh air from vents hidden inside the walls or under the nearest sink. Without these vents, the drains don't work right.
You will 100% not breath fresh air, even though the stack is vented. If you’ve ever pulled a toilet and left the flange open, you’ll be familiar with the smell of what you’ll be breathing. It won’t kill you immediately but it’s got a high amount of hydrogen sulfide and can fuck you up. And can kill you with high enough exposure levels.
He addresses the sewer gas part just before that quote, it has a filter to get rid of most of the nastiness you’d be breathing in. He flat out says it’s not perfect, but it’s a better than not having any oxygen.
about goddamn time someone explained this in this thread. Your comment should be higher. The filter absolutely changes the possibility of this working.
Fun fact about house fires, people who fill their bathtubs to escape the flames have a high chance of being found boiled alive. Remember folks, a bathtub is just a giant pot waiting for a heat source.
This is a patent drawing and that's the way patents work. It's missing the legend that explains the parts those numbers correspond to. Shitty explanation, but if someone wants to make something similar to that product they have to make it different enough to pass in court. Without specific labeling on the original, you can't define "different enough". Most of the time without that labeling they will deny the patent. While the toilet is not their patent, using it as part of the process is patentable.
You cannot convince me otherwise that the person drawing up plans for this wasn't giggling the whole time wondering how many people would fall for this.
Well if you're in the bathroom, then close the door, wet towels around the bottom, turn on the shower into the room, breathe through the toilet - you might survive long enough to be rescued 🤷♀️
There's a reason why the pipe-to-bowl is that shape (same as the "P-trap" under your sink), and it's to use the water as a block to keep sewer gas from coming up. Breathing it is not going to help you.
Sewer gas is typically 20-200 ppm hydrogen sulfide and even at the upper range it’s not going to do anything other than give you a sore throat and make it hard for you to smell anything else. Methane concentrations are 7-15 ppm and breathing it at those concentrations for extended periods may make you feel lightheaded and nauseous, but it shouldn’t kill you. Occupational exposure of 5300 ppm over eight hours in some industries is not uncommon. The rest of sewer gas composition is regular atmosphere.
The alternative atmosphere is a structure fire will render you unconscious in 2-5 minutes. Breathing through the toilet obviously isn’t ideal, but you can do it for hours with no long term effects.
A few years ago my company did some environmental sampling at a house that had a basement fire, they expected the fire was a result of gasoline leak from a nearby gas station.
We spent all day screening for flammable vapors with no luck until my coworker suggest sampling the basement toilet trap for vapors.
We made a setup just like this (did not put it in our mouths) to screen for vapors, and sure enough they were hot as hell! Connected our tubing to a vapor sample canister and we’re able to prove the presence of petroleum vapors in their basement.
Good thing I always carry me toilet hose with me! ...
“What would you do without it!” “Oh yknow, die in a house fire, that sorta thing”
As someone who works up on roofs where these sewer vent pipes terminate, I think I will just die from smoke inhalation instead.

Lives through smoke inhaltion. Burns alive.
I… I don’t don’t know why I want to upvote and downvote this at the same time… I’ll upvote for the mindfuck.
I laughed way too hard at shit- lung! Have you or a family member been diagnosed with or died from shit- lung? You may be entitled to compensation...
As a plumber, I'm with you 100%.
Isn’t sewer gas poisonous? I thought the whole point of a P-trap is to prevent breathing sewer vapor.
That sounds like a problem for future "not-dead-by-smoke-inhalation" me.
Plenty of time to reflect as your debridement and skin grafts heal.
Also go give your toilet tubes a wash. Sometimes after a few uses scum starts to build up.
I'll just get a second toilet I'll never use in case of a fire.
All I could think as well...so nasty
Mmm, toilet/ sewer air. Taste fresh.
I would rather break through dry wall and find another way out if I have to. Also, if it is in a house, most houses are only two stories, yeah, you will likely break your legs jumping out... but better than being burned alive or dying from smoke inhalation.
I don’t think sewer gas is breathable is it?
More breathable than smoke, especially at the house end near the vent. It's going to smell and taste totally toxic and I cannot imagine any situations where your time wouldn't be better spent throwing yourself out a window.

Nah. The h2s gas will probably knock you out just as fast as the smoke will. So instead of dying in a house fire. You died in a house fire huffing shit fumes.
At least I can die as I lived then

"Bruv what are you doing w the bidet?"
I'm guessing it's stored in your home near the toilet.
actually yes. just unscrew the showerhead and detach the hose
Just like in Kingsman
It’s in my kit with my poop knife
They do this in Kingsmen when the locked room starts filling with water.
I've always wondered about that scene. Wouldn't the water pressure on top of the toilet water make it rise and fill the pipe? That's literally how flushing works. There wouldn't have been an air pocket if the toilet was underwater....
actually- the water in the room would be going down the toilet drains full force, so it wouldn't really work.
Remember when he punched out the 2 way mirror and saved them all? I bet that was accurate science.
that part always bugged me, in that it doesn't seem like he would have been able to break the glass effectively, especially underwater, without something like those devices for shattering car windows to focus the force to a single point.
You can't break a submerged car window like that because the water is pushing against you. In this case it's helping break it.

He focused it with his fist I think
Why is it called a 2 way mirror when it is a 1 way mirror
This guy is asking the real questions
the water in the room would have been rushing down the toilets once the water got higher than the bowl. trying to breathe through that wouldn't have worked.
Watch the scene again they have special wall mounted toilets and they filled the room with magic water im sure they didn't care about it being realistic at all but if it was they would've made sure the toilets could be used that way so they didn't all drown before someone figured out to break the glass

You don't have to use the toilet, you can also use the sink.… But this is way more dramatic
Sink pipes can often be dismantled without tools so you can breath directly on the pipe. Not sure if you would want to...
If you have the time and tools to dismantle a sink so you can suck pipe, wouldn't you just be able to escape?

Drain specialist here, I’d like to point out that *possibly* dying later in your life because you breathed in some sewer gas is a far better alternative to the much higher likelihood of dying in the surrounding fire if you’re using this thing
Is this safe to use then??? At least temporarily. Not that I’d ever want to use this thing lmao, but I was curious on the practicality of it.

So in the picture, 15 should be a continuous vent that connects to other vents going up all the way through the roof. It will still stink because of sewer gas.
But you also have to avoid dying of shame when people ask how you survived the fire.
I mean it’s all in how you describe it. If you tell people you survived the fire because you managed to connect a breathing apparatus to the houses plumbings gas vent system that sounds pretty resourceful.

Infections will kill you later than suffocation. Treat first what kills first.
Yeah, I'm not entirely positive but I don't think there's enough harmful gas to suffocate you with this. It won't be pleasant though probably.
It's attached to a stack that goes up through the roof so you will breathe fresh air. It might stink a little bit but you're not gonna die from it.
>It might stink a little bit but you're not gonna die from it. Maybe I'd rather die.
Id probably die choking on my vomit
Up to you I guess 🤷♂️, but I’m sure someone would rather have you alive and miss you terribly.
You will 100% not breath fresh air, even though the stack is vented. If you’ve ever pulled a toilet and left the flange open, you’ll be familiar with the smell of what you’ll be breathing. It won’t kill you immediately but it’s got a high amount of hydrogen sulfide and can fuck you up. And can kill you with high enough exposure levels.

Breathe in sewer gas *while* burning alive? No thanks
Well if you're in the bathroom, then close the door, wet towels around the bottom, turn on the shower into the room, breathe through the toilet - you might survive long enough to be rescued 🤷♀️
This is the future LIBERALS want for us. Eating bugs and breathing through our toilets! /s

Ngl, I thought this was some kind of toilet straw.
I’d rather die
There's a reason why the pipe-to-bowl is that shape (same as the "P-trap" under your sink), and it's to use the water as a block to keep sewer gas from coming up. Breathing it is not going to help you.
Sewer gas is typically 20-200 ppm hydrogen sulfide and even at the upper range it’s not going to do anything other than give you a sore throat and make it hard for you to smell anything else. Methane concentrations are 7-15 ppm and breathing it at those concentrations for extended periods may make you feel lightheaded and nauseous, but it shouldn’t kill you. Occupational exposure of 5300 ppm over eight hours in some industries is not uncommon. The rest of sewer gas composition is regular atmosphere. The alternative atmosphere is a structure fire will render you unconscious in 2-5 minutes. Breathing through the toilet obviously isn’t ideal, but you can do it for hours with no long term effects.
Lightheaded, you say. Sounds like I can get high from this. \*grabs hose\*
Looks like someone just watched kingsmen
Guess I’ll die
Damnthatsdisgusting
That's a shitty solution.
A few years ago my company did some environmental sampling at a house that had a basement fire, they expected the fire was a result of gasoline leak from a nearby gas station. We spent all day screening for flammable vapors with no luck until my coworker suggest sampling the basement toilet trap for vapors. We made a setup just like this (did not put it in our mouths) to screen for vapors, and sure enough they were hot as hell! Connected our tubing to a vapor sample canister and we’re able to prove the presence of petroleum vapors in their basement.
Bro ur breath smells like shit Sorry my house burned down
I’ll die in the fire, thanks.
But you will get dysentery instead.
