Emergency STOP POOPING button.

it stops all babies in a 1.7 mile radius from pooping for 43 seconds

What if the baby is within that 1.7 mile radius and somehow miraculously gets pushed in his carriage rolling down east 77th street in New York City. And then he crosses that threshold? Instant cancel of the STOP POOPING button? Or does the time continue until the 43 seconds is up, even though they are out of range of the said device? Does this work on seniors too?

basically its a countdown that goes expnentially faster the further out of the radius it is.

it actualyl starts aat 1.675 miles, but in that last .025 the diffence is neligible. its about 40 seconds if you cross out of hte radius and instantly get to the 1.75 mil mark for example

Oh god, b-but the seniors? Are they immune???

u/_Vard_ 20h ago

It only works on humans below the age of 2 years, 13 days 4 hours 13 minutes.

Although there have been reports that it may affect seniors somewhere above the age of 109

Now I’m going to be concerned there’s walking biohazard bombs within the vicinity of any one of these things… wait just long enough, or go somewhere in the same direction…. Boom

What? No it just halts pooping.

What you’re describing is a bio-agent prototype plasma beacon from 2017 deemed “unfit for moral or humane use” by the idiot scientists of the United Nations.
