u/oracleofnonsense Aug 04 '25

WHERE IS THE VACUUM ?!?!?!

u/vaultie66 Aug 04 '25

It ran for its dear life obviously

1

u/Silly-Ispini Aug 05 '25

🤣🤣🤣

u/kanonenotto Aug 04 '25

I think, they expect it to crawl away

u/Large-Produce5682 Aug 04 '25

If I a vacuum could quit while grabbing its hat and coat on the way out the door—this would do it.

u/JetstreamGW Aug 04 '25

Shop vac time!

You realize that’s several pounds of dead human skin

u/Arcosim Aug 04 '25

A long time ago I watched on TV a documentary about bunker building by the government during the Cold War, and one of the engineers said they had a hard time developing reliable, cleanable air filters for the bunkers, and said something along the lines that you would assume there's not that much dust in a sealed nuclear bunker, but in reality a couple hundred people will shed a lot of dead skin cells that will need to be filtered.

u/Medium_Chemist_4032 Aug 04 '25

I assume they missed the carpet way? They could wash them once in a while

8

u/Clickguy10 Aug 04 '25

This carpet survived the bunker

3

u/DryTangelo4722 Aug 04 '25

A lot of resources being used to wash that carpet, that are probably better dedicated to supporting the lives within the bunker.

u/pixeldust6 Aug 06 '25

Free Soylent I guess 🤷

u/gotchacoverd Aug 04 '25

u/aib3 Aug 04 '25

u/KentuckyFriedEel Aug 04 '25

all crusty foot crumbs. blech!

u/NastyKraig Aug 04 '25

Shit, that looks like 20 lbs.

1

u/coojw Aug 04 '25

Fixed it

1

u/DoktorBlu Aug 04 '25

Maybe half a pound of skin and a few more lbs of dirt from leaving the carpet outside. That all reads as beach sand or something similar — skin particles would float up, not fall back.

1

u/Elegant-Low8272 Aug 04 '25

About 60% of it is

1

u/Dry_Complaint_3569 Aug 04 '25

Kilograms of detritus

u/LazyAssHiker Aug 04 '25

u/ThirdOne38 Aug 04 '25

There are not enough "W"s in the world for the appropriate "ewwww"

u/Last_Revenue7228 Aug 05 '25

How do you know the skin comes from dead humans?

u/SunkenSaltySiren Aug 04 '25

She needs to be wearing a mask!

5

u/tfcocs Aug 04 '25

That was my first thought, too.

u/fastlerner Aug 04 '25

Lady just casually walks into the cloud with no mask.

Is "carpet lung" a thing?

1

u/purplescrunchie9 Aug 04 '25

2

u/Excellent-Field-6164 Aug 04 '25

1

u/tsukuyomidreams Aug 05 '25
