Toilets don’t get their air from the sewers. There’s actually an air hole at the top of the house to let air into the pipes so that they don’t produce negative pressure.
Learned that from a plumbing guy who told me that it’s actually a noob mistake diy guys often make to forget that hole.

Yeah but the pipes still have poop smear on them

Spiced with mystery sewer gasses.

When I was first informed that this was possible, it was suggested as a way to get breathable air if your city suffered a gas attack or similar.
WarlordSdocy@lemm.ee 1 day ago
Wouldn’t the gas still seep into the sewers in that case?

Cuz the sewer pipes are known for being hermetically sealed.
I imagine just checking if your windows are closed and staying inside would be far more effective

If I were in a fire and suffocating and somehow had a long tube in a bathroom, I think I’d stick the hose out the window and breathe that water instead.
And if I found myself:
- trapped in a bathroom
- suffocating due to smoke from a fire
- i have a long flexible tube
- no windows in the bathroom AND
- I’m somehow not going to burn to death
Then I’ll just fucking die. It’s fine. That’s such an edge case I’m not gonna worry about it.

You’ll likely die before you: a) remember where you put this thing, b) manage to successfully thread it far enough so you’re not inhaling toilet water, c) survive the sewer gases. If the window is big enough get through, better to jump.

Regular people, sure. But some firefighters that work in cities with a lot of highrise apartments will keep tubing in their turnouts for this. Super low odds of needing it, but a couple feet of rolled up tubing is lightweight and doesn’t take up much space.

That scene bothered me so much! If there’s a path to air from the plumbing vent, then those toilets would’ve been draining water from that room really quickly. If they were overwhelmed by the water, then the hoses wouldn’t be useful for breathing

Oh fuck now I will never unsee that.
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Exactly. Getting rid of a suddenly huge influx of water is literally what toilets are made to do.

I wonder if this actually happened to someone or this is the a case of armchair survivalism.

What do you mean internet chud? You didnt use the toilet air gap? I expected that with my VAST knowlage, ajusts monocle see as for me i live on the interwebs to expand my VAST knowlage of things 400 year old roman throne squeaks ($5 ikea office chair) its rather arbitrary that you have never seen this in action? Whats next your gonna to say you dont shoot yourself with pellets to gain bullet immunity or take showers? /S
^THIS IS SATIRE^
To be legit, im kinda intreasted aswell to know if this has actually been used!

Someone else posted firefighters working in high rises are trained on this. I haven’t seen anything more plausible.

Not really a bong if you bypass the water. That’s just a pipe with a decorative water feature.
