I don’t know about the masks, but once we start convening in public again, we will have to relearn the importance of putting pants on.

[–]flargenhargen 319 points320 points  (50 children)

I haven't worn pants in weeks and I don't want to start anytime soon.

[–]crazy_gambit 149 points150 points  (45 children)

You joke, but I've been I had to briefly go out the other day and had to wear shoes for the first time in like a months and had a really hard time tolerating them.

[–]AninOnin 123 points124 points  (39 children)

Same for me but with a bra.

Petition to remove bras and pants from socially mandated clothing.

Edit: PANTS, I MEANT PANTS.

[–]AninOnin 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Really depends on who you talk to

for instance, asking my guy friends if they "fuck dudes" has gotten me pretty confused looks from each of them haha

I think this whole situation has officially made me give up on bras.

[–]Carl_LaFong 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You all might have forgotten, but this was tried before. I was surprised to see everything regress back. Society overall has become more conservative socially than when I grew up.

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I put one on for the first time in weeks yesterday (they've never been THAT terrible for me) and was like wtf I want this off NOW

[–]CuriousKitten0_0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never not wear a bra. I'm usually very uncomfortable without one.

I put one on today for the first time in 3 weeks.

I've only worn pants because I am currently staying in the same house as my stepmom. It's why I've been essentially locked in my room for the last 3 weeks, it's a pants-free zone, but I have to eat and stuff.

[–]AdamFoxIsMyNewBFF 5 points6 points  (1 child)

No one is forcing anyone to wear underwear. Go commando if you want to, plenty of people do.

[–]AninOnin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely meant pants. Panties are essential (for me).

[–]hypatianata 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Just wore one after weeks and it felt dystopian.

Why are bras a thing anymore? I finally found the most comfortable bra I think has ever existed and it’s still not actually comfortable, just comfortable compared to most bras. Boob freedom is comfort. True comfort in bras is a lie, like cake.

Bras should only exist for sports and those in actual need of support.

What’s pants? I haven’t seen any for like 2 months 😂

I have visions of hoarded of people trying to buy larger pants when we are cleared to return to work. Like to 2020 great hoarding of TP, Pants (other than sweats/yoga pants) will be the next 2020 commodity,

Definitely not. Kink just means an unusual sexual preference. Not everything unusual is shameful or taboo.

It's just a coincidence that some stereotypical kinks involve shame-play.

      no one cares about you getting peed on. the pants aren't for you.

      they care about you peeing on them.

      sometimes you're peeing and you don't even realize it. like a wild animal just pissing while walking. majestic but unwanted.

      if you can get your pissing under control you can walk around with no pants again.

      [–]FarPhilosophy4 54 points55 points  (34 children)

      So if we could get a test that proves that we can control our piss you would want us wearing a sign that says "piss under control"....like a yellow badge or something and then we can be pant free?

      [–]CaptainTux 50 points51 points  (33 children)

      I think it might be more about the fact that you usually don't know that you've lost control of your bladder until it's too late to put on pants. Enough people have lost control in this way that most societies want people to wear pants by default because the general public find it less bothersome to wear pants than to be covered in piss by someone who, up to that point, had shown perfect bladder control.

      [–]FarPhilosophy4 31 points32 points  (32 children)

      Seems like you just want people to wear pants no matter what.

      Last what if, If I had my bladder redirected to a piss bag that I have on my waist and now you can visibly see that I can no longer piss on you no matter what, am I now allowed to go without pants?

      [–]verdantvisitor 38 points39 points  (29 children)

      You'd really rather wear a piss bag than pants?

      [–]FarPhilosophy4 13 points14 points  (25 children)

      You'd really rather wear a piss bag than pants?

      Well, I mean if we are discussing the ability to go out in the buff without getting arrested and the only trade off was that I needed to have a piss bag, then sure. I might even fancy it up and make a fashion accessory out of it.

      [–]Odusei 12 points13 points  (24 children)

      Wow, such a poignant statement that explains the difficulty our culture has with wearing masks.

      [–]theythinkimgoodppl 850 points851 points  (23 children)

      After further research I conclude that I can not pee through my pants; shorts are a bit better if going commando. But on follow up research it has also been concluded that urine dosnt typically come from the mouth so a mask would prove ineffective but should be worn to prevent the chance of peeing on friends and relatives.

          Someone on my Facebook has this exact comment for a graffic with the same comparison. He said masks are on our face and has nothing to do with peeing and jeans and since when are we worried about getting peed on. I started typing out a refute but bailed. It’s a lost cause.

          [–][deleted] 838 points839 points  (115 children)

          [–]ionxeph 225 points226 points  (63 children)

          that's the one inconsistency I feel in this analogy, if someone is going to pee on me, I rather it just be on my bare leg, that way, I can take a shower and be good and clean again

          if they pee on my pants, I need to shower anyway, but I also need to do laundry now

          [–]Pircay 49 points50 points  (7 children)

          you can’t do laundry on your lungs, though

          [–]Paddy_Tanninger 69 points70 points  (6 children)

          No but you could spray them with disinfectant, it wipes out the virus super quick.

          [–]YRYGAV 36 points37 points  (3 children)

          I've heard sunlight can kill the virus too. Is there any way to put sunlight into the disinfectant before you spray it into the lungs? I think that would help.

          [–]Sawses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          [–]squareswordfish 68 points69 points  (39 children)

          Really, the only inconsistency?

          The original image shows the probability of getting the virus regarding 4 cases, both with mask, neither of them wearing a mask, only the infected person using mask and only non-infected person using the mask. This one skips the case where only the infected (peeing) person is protected, and in this case both wearing pants would have as much effect as if only the peeing person was wearing pants.

          If someone who only cares about himself takes this seriously, they would think it would be useless to wear a mask.

          [–]rich519 67 points68 points  (11 children)

          If someone who only cares about himself takes this seriously, they would think it would be useless to wear a mask.

          That's mostly true though. The comic probably intentionally leaves out the situation where only the pissing guy is wearing pants because then it would give people the impression that it doesn't matter whether you wear a mask.

          Leaving that panel out conveys the message that it's important for everyone to wear masks. Like with all of these comics and comericals, it sacrifices some accuracy to send a stronger message.

          [–]Chacochilla 28 points29 points  (10 children)

          Well, in keeping with the analogy, you should probably change pants/ face masks often.

          [–]ionjody 9 points10 points  (5 children)

          In fact in the mask-protecting-the wearer protocol you are not supposed to touch the outside of the used mask at all, because it is assumed contaminated. When you take your mask off you must wash your hands. I saw a video demonstrating how to temporarily remove your N95 mask: you put a plastic container over it while it's still on your face, then flip the elastics from your head over the bottom of the container, so you never have to touch the outside of the mask.

            [–]Tadhgdagis 10 points11 points  (1 child)

            Think of the virus like glitter. Think of the mask coated in microscopic glitter. Any time you touch your mask, you knock glitter loose, and it doesn't get just on your hands, it gets everywhere. The goal during removal is to start by washing your hands, grab the ties instead of the mask, and pull the mask down and away from your face, so as little of that glitter gets on you in the process. Then wash your hands again after.

            [–]RPDRNick 155 points156 points  (13 children)

            What if I wear a face mask while running around naked and a naked guy pees on me?

            No, seriously? What if? I'm getting really lonely in quarantine, and that sounds like it might be the most fun I've had in over a month.

              One time I farted at work after a long night of beer drinking when I was 21. It was a I'm holding in a hot beer shit stew fart sadly. I worked assembly in a factory at the time so we were all close together.

              Here's what I can't figure out though. I couldn't hold it any more so I just was gonna let a little out at a time to maybe hope it didn't stink. I let out just the tiniest amount as "test fart" sample 1. Ok, literally the millisecond this tiny test fart existed my butthole there was a guy 35 feet away was like OH MY GOD! Like some of it was still in my butt I mean and somehow this guy like way over there was smelling it. Yes it was foul, cheap beer fast food. I just can't understand how it seemed to have made the leap beyond faster than light travel.

                [–]28Hz 13 points14 points  (8 children)

                Same scenario, cheap beer/food etc.

                I was working construction at the time and we were in the trailer at lunch; eight of us in an enclosed space sitting at a highschool type table.

                I really had to fart, so I leaned back and slid down a little. This wasn't a test run and I let her go.

                It was a loud and long, fabric ripping miasma.

                The best part, since I had angled just so, was that it sounded like it came from the guy in front of me. It reverberated off the wall behind him and everyone on that side of the trailer smelt it first.

                His denials were in vain, when everyone started in on him.

                I couldn't waste this opportunity so I asked him, "What, did you eat a bag of farts for breakfast?"

                This killed everyone, and he was dubbed "fart eater" for the rest of that job.

                I never fessed up, and am still proud to this day.

                    The spittle that flies from your mouth is much much bigger though. If that spittle doesn't get into the air it doesn't evaporate and aeosolize. That's exactly why masks are far more effective at preventing people from spreading it than they are at preventing people from catching it.

                    Some particles get through but not as many and the trajectory changes. Some of the pee leaks through the jeans but you aren't hitting anything 3 ft. away through jeans.

                    There was actually a study or something about farts contaminating surgical rooms during surgery. And.... It was actually determined that pants block them. In order to contaminate anything with your farts in a meaningful way, you would need to be naked.

                    But they just got in a fight with the CDC from April over in the dog food aisle, so I dunno what's going on.

                    [–]lmsalman 58 points59 points  (36 children)

                    January CDC probably knew pants, especially waterproof pants, were good, but also knew there was a shortage of pants and wanted to make sure that those that were at most risk of getting peed on had the proper pants.

                    [–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (14 children)

                    Oh, so January CDC was lying to us.

                    No, it's more complicated than that.

                    The CDC only said that people who aren't sick shouldn't wear masks. Obviously they were still recommending people who are sick or caring for the sick to wear masks, so they knew it was at least partially effective. In context of the severe and sudden shortage, these recommendations made sense for a few reasons:

                    • Individuals can move faster on the supply than large hospital systems, potentially worsening the shortage of masks
                    • Many healthy individuals with no potential exposure would be wearing & disposing single-use masks and many people would be wearing them improperly, leading to a false sense of security & unnecessary waste
                    • Recommending cloth masks would contribute to the surge in demand for medical masks as people try to get the "best" protection possible

                    Human behavior at the scale of the US population is a complicated beast. It's important for our leaders to make clear, straightforward recommendations to maximize its effectiveness. Now that most hospitals have had time to gather the necessary PPE and supply chains, it makes sense to weigh the risks of extra strain on medical mask supply with the new recommendations.

                    [–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (16 children)

                    Or they knew that science fucking calls this bullshit but were eventually pressured to give a bad recommendation.

                    Masks do not help if you are healthy.

                    [–]Totally_Not_Evil 2 points3 points  (8 children)

                    But how can you know if you are healthy or asymptomatic

                    [–][deleted] 54 points55 points  (11 children)

                    The thing is, unless you're wearing the right mask, it's like everyone is running around with their penises hanging outside of the zipper.

                    you mean my handmade hula skirt won't keep the pee inside?

                    I always have to tell my wife to tuck her penis back inside the zipper. She’s still learning.

                    Thanks, I'll take note to pee higher from now on so that my pee isn't blocked by their pants.

                    But those facemasks provided to workers hardly block anything. I'm sure if I sneezed in it, I'd blow a hole through it

                    [–]BadWrongOpinion 10 points11 points  (2 children)

                    Depends. Generally, if you can blow a candle out through it, it's useless.

                    "You see the pee...the urine, big urine, beautiful streams...it goes everywhere...some people like that kinda thing, they say its good for the skin...I know this......then you have the pants - any pants, pants for men, women, babies. It stops it, all of it. Incredible. We will be getting the best pants...I know the best people... competent....they'll get them."

                    I lost it at beautiful streams.

                    Trump would be lauded for saying the most reasonable thing he has said on this subject thus far if he referenced this.

                    [–]lkei 4 points5 points  (3 children)

                    Suddenly you start seeing more pantless people wandering around peeing legs.

                    [–]shaka_sulu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

                    Can I reuse the pants the next day?

                    [–]teetheyes 4 points5 points  (1 child)

                    And the you have the situation where you're both wearing pants, but the guy behind the counter takes his pants off to pee on you and puts them back on

                    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                    Always have that situation in supermarket whether you meant real pants or face mask-sneezing.

                    [–]Chubbs2137 5 points6 points  (0 children)

                    If the guy that pees is the only one wearing pants, it still all stays with him and you don't get wet. Moral of the story, if you're sick, wear a mask.

                    [–]BadWrongOpinion 12 points13 points  (1 child)

                    Ehhh really wouldn't mention that second part. For the most part, masks are extremely porous to aerosolized particles.

                    People will find out it doesn't do much and assume everything you told them is wrong despite it helping to keep your germs to yourself.

                    [–]RabidMofo 7 points8 points  (1 child)

                    Is there any studies that show wearing masks leads people to touch their face more due to discomfort and actually increase their own risk?

                    Pretty sure masks are more protection for other people and possiby harmful to people not used to wearing them regularly.

                    Its been super hard trying to stop myself touching my face. I imagine it would almost impossible with a mask on.

                    [–]cam012199 14 points15 points  (4 children)

                    Most common surgical masks aren’t effective against the virus, and they especially aren’t effective in half the flow of particulate OUT of the mask.

                    To know if your mask is up to par, attempt to spray windex / aerosolized products through the mask. If it doesn’t go though, your in the clear.

                    [–]itssarahw 19 points20 points  (16 children)

                    I’m terrified for the moment when a majority of people realize that wearing a mask doesn’t really help protect them but instead does more to protect others

                    [–]He110_Friend 3 points4 points  (2 children)

                    Remember when the CDC said make don't help against respiratory illness and said don't wear them? And than everyone wore them anyway and now everyone thinks you need them 🙄

                    [–]macklemo15 12 points13 points  (2 children)

                    Not a great analogy since if I pee while wearing pants, it doesn't matter if the other person wears pants or not, there's no way for them to get wet.

                    [–]AminA5 16 points17 points  (1 child)

                    Ok but a fart can get through pants so what makes you think a facemask made from a handkerchief can help?

                    [–]Bonezmahone 4 points5 points  (4 children)

                    Coronavirus is about 60nm in diameter on the low end. The fart smell is about 0.4nm. Regarding farts a cloth masks will keep you from smelling most of the fart but a lot can still get through. There is no minimum quality or thread count for cotton masks but a minimum of two layers is the minimum recommended. Thin fabric like a bandana comes with the recommendation of keeping a coffee filter in between the two layers. (A bandana/handkerchief does not meet the CDC recommendations for a face mask.) Saying that a handkerchief by itself can mechanically block a lot of the smell. if breathing is a little harder than mechanically the mask is blocking air.

                    Test your homemade mask using sniff tests. If your handkerchief barely covers a fart smell than than it's not very good quality. Double the thickness and add a coffee filter.

                    Parachute pants maybe. Cotton or denim and you're getting wetter for longer and much more uncomfortable.

                    I do wish more effort was made to educate people on how to wear a mask. The general public is driving me crazy with their mask protocols.

                    Except you cannot compare a virus to a liquid. It would be a better way to say that you'd be peeing through the zipper when it's open cus the virus will just go right through it anyways.

                    Unless it's a specific mask that's produced to contain those small particles, it's useless.

                    Now imagine that nobody knows whether or not they are actually peeing until a week afterwards. Makes it all the more important.
