Expecting a mask to protect you is like expecting your underwear to stop a fart stink. The virus passes right through. It is not like liquid at all.

I need one of these that explains why the average person should be wearing latex gloves.

I recently learned how to peel a banana like this too. (I’m 44...)
A colleague showed me.

Couldn’t believe how much easier it was and that I was doing it wrong all this time.
Like eating soup with a fork for years and then finding the spoon next to your plate...

Apparently that is the way how monkeys peel a banana, didn’t know that either...
Made me feel pretty dumb for a moment.
Outsmarted by a primate...


Lusted for one of these in the early 80’s.

Had to google it.

Shreddies flatulence filtering underwear is the perfect way to treat flatulence issues. Our range of garments feature an activated carbon lining that absorbs all flatulence odours.

Peeling a banana upside down because monkeys do it is not a great endorsement. I have done it both ways, and the top down is easier for me, but I am not a monkey. On the list of things I care about, how someone else peels a banana is just above the British royal family "news," and right above the fate of a bug getting digest by a frog's gut in the Amazon forest.

Some friends had those. We ended up cutting the rear axle and made a triangulated four link so it articulated better. I had a Frog and a Pajero and build a custom chassis for road racing. The Frog got converted to a sprint car.

virusses are worse if you get volume of it.
smaller doses mean lower risk of it catching.

so the masks do have an effect.

furthermore, the main goal for wearing masks, is preventing the wearer infecting somebody else..
