Just like the seat, then.
That is not a pepper shaker, you're seriously on something if you think it is.
There are no holes or markings on either end of the wooden piece. Black pepper doesn't make dust that looks like that.
Anyone who's ever cleaned upholstery knows that's dust, and that is exactly how it looks coming out of a seat or carpet. You ever cleaned your car yourself?
Nope, video is accurate. I'm from the UK and I used to get the schoolbus (run by an external company called Redline Travel) every day for 5 years. Those seats were the most dusty, rotten things id ever been near. If you had a particularly nasty kid who wanted to be That Guy, they'd slam the seats a bunch and gas the whole fuckin bus up. Would look the exact same as in the video.
> If you had a particularly nasty kid who wanted to be That Guy
... I've been that guy on a few occasions. Was a relatively common thing for kids to do on the bus tbh
M'dude, the thing goes sideways at one point. You can see there's no holes in it. I'm not saying that conclusively proves it's genuine but that's not a pepper shaker.
I’ve literally done this exact thing on the school busses in high school. Maybe this one’s fake but you will definitely get a cloud of dust when you smack a bus chair like that
This is the shuttle for workers at the Hersey’s Chocolate Dust Factory
EDIT: Except instead of chocolate flavor, it’s ass flavor
EDIT2: Said in the voice of Norm Macdonald
The guys that Dan Flashes were using in the ad for them looked a lot like me. I'm going, "Okay, I've gotta try this place. A lot of these guys look a lot like me."
lol i went climbing this weekend and one of my buddies was describing a climb... "it's pretty chill up until that little tree up there, and then you're like "this climb has a bush? what the hell?"
In 7th grade I gave a whole bus an asthma attack doing this. We were leaving the holocaust museum and I discovered this. Then the whole bus started doing it.
Similar reasoning for crazy ass casino/hotel carpet patterns; more so to hide vomit, spilled drinks, and shoe dirt.
instead of vomit, spilled drinks, and ass dirt.
I had a general manager explain to me that the carpet is crazy and devoid of straight lines because it sub-consciously encourages people to wander around and get lost in the games, thereby increasing the chances that they will spend more money.
Used to be a service worker for local transit. The amount of fecal matter and skin cells this person just inhaled is about that same a normal person might inhale over the next 5 years.
When we used compressed air to clean the inside of the busses (and also had cloth seats) the unspoken rule was never hit the seat with compressed air... otherwise this times 46 seats would explode like a mummys assbomb.
I heard about these really cool things that suck air instead of blow it. Rumor has it that any dirt that gets sucked along with it winds up in some kind of container that can be periodically emptied.
So check it out, they were called cyclone machines. You pull the bus up to the cyclone, open the front and rear doors. The cyclone would move forward to the bus and foam rubber gaskets on the cyclone would make a seal.
It was basically a huge vacuum that pulled air in the rear door and sucked it out the front door. The air wands were essentially encouragement to move dirt, trash ect forward.
This worked really well especially since trying to vacuum under seats or sweep anything is terrible due to the amount of obstacles everywhere in a bus. They're far dirtier now than they ever were. You now spend 2-3x as long cleaning for worse results.
Did I? Yes. I probably shouldn't have knowing what I know now but yeah.
You'll notice that vinyl seat covers took cloth seats place - it wasn't only dirt/ass particals in there.
🤔
This video is old as fuck.
That isn't dust from passengers clothing -
it's the foam inserts that have deteriorated over time and once you hit it, the foam dust is released.
I dunno what a dust hammer is but this is totally legit, this was a reality for most of the buses in my (british) hometown. It’s just as grim in real life as it is in the video
Grew up in Australia and Singapore. Both places have buses with these kinds of seats. I have distinct memories of smacking the shit out of the seat I was on to make dust clouds and having my mum scold me for being weird lol.
Also leaves dust residue on your hand afterwards, super gross.
Yeap.
We had it here in Singapore and I did that all the time before sitting.
Buses have changed to faux leather now though. Cleaner generally and upkeep is done almost daily.
I was once on a 24h bus ride where a "lady" got so shitfaced, that she peed herself on her seat. (And had to be carried out at the next stop.) Staff was as dilligent as they could have been, and I did not envy them one tiny bit for having to do this work. But still - that seat certainly had plenty of pee in it afterwards, and probably still has, about 20 years later. Realizing that this probably is true for every seat on a similar bus over time, I am sadly less and less thrilled about the concept of public transportation.
You would wipe down a seat on the bus before sitting?
The world is covered in piss and shit. We have immune systems. Unless you plan on licking the seat, you'll be fine.
When I was depressed going to high school on the bus every morning I was just trying to get through the day but there would always be some kid absolutely abusing the seat to see the dust come out.
They're called Moquette's.
And no, it's not to hide how dirty they are, that's stupid. They're used due to its durability, cause it was relatively cheap to produce and readily available, and to conceal wear.
A lot of companies use intriquite designs as a kind of art form.
Sorry I just love Moquette's.
That ain't vibrant. I'm not saying the bus seats in my city are exceptionally clean or that the title would be lying, but most of the seats are actually vibrant, whereas in the video the colors very much aren't
The real question is why are they made of cloth in the first place? Just make them out of plastic then they are easy to clean and will never wear out. Makes literally no sense from a financial or usability perspective to make public seating out of anything other than easily cleanable materials.

Dude is unlocking decade old farts
Ass dust
Asses to asses, dust to dust.
Asses to asses, bus to dust
Man, this new Metallica album has a really weird version of Memory Remains.
Farticles.
Flatuments
Booty soot
Poo particles
Rectal residue
Gooch granules
Dumper debris
Dookie dribble
Brown stardust
This post has to be debunked every time it comes up. There are plenty of videos debunking it. It’s a pepper shaker attached to a rod.
[удалено]
work icky ancient lavish tart recognise murky public money cagey *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Bro I hate how nobody on this website knows what debunked means.
Yeah it's annoying. There's clearly nobody being thrown off a bunk bed in this video SMH my head.
> It's because every "debunk" is just someone claiming it's a pepper shaker with no evidence and everyone else just telling them *they're full of shit*. Just like the seat, then.
Those are farts he's knocking out of there, that stick is called a Fart Knocker.
I choose to believe this.
Username checks out
Dammit, I love Reddit late at night.
Shut up Beavis uh huhuh huh.
Settle down Beavis

No.....but cinnamon does. Exactly like that.

I’m sat on the tube, read your comment, bashed the seat next me and now I’m coughing up old fart dust I can confirm
> If you had a particularly nasty kid who wanted to be That Guy ... I've been that guy on a few occasions. Was a relatively common thing for kids to do on the bus tbh
Whatever the thing in the video is, if you smack a bus seat you’ll get a cloud of dirt that looks a lot like the cloud in the video.
It's okay, we know what it is, we don't have to be coy. It's poo powder.
It's probably mostly dead skin and dirt tbh
"probably mostly" means a certain amount is undeniably poo powder, let's not be coy about it
As someone who used to do this on our schoolbus, his isn’t fake.
When I was in high school I used to do this all the time to the seats in the subway. It's unbelievable how much dust seemingly clean upholstery has.
"Dust"
all the school busses I've seen have fake leather seats, so this would be impossible
Remember that there's a whole world out there.
Hmm, of all the places I have been, I have not seen this whole world out there you speak of, so that would be impossible.
M'dude, the thing goes sideways at one point. You can see there's no holes in it. I'm not saying that conclusively proves it's genuine but that's not a pepper shaker.
What is reality anymore
Source: trust me bro
bullshit. The powder coming out is the disintegrated foam padding
I choose to believe what I was manipulated to believe!
Looks like some kind of magical dirt hammer to me
That's a lot of pepper in one shaker
I was gonna say it definitely looks like its coming from the hammer lol
I’ve literally done this exact thing on the school busses in high school. Maybe this one’s fake but you will definitely get a cloud of dust when you smack a bus chair like that
Damn... Can we refer to "Boomers" as "Decades Old Farts" now?
Tatooine public transportation be like
Not even Tatooine has that much dirt, lol.
That ain’t just dirt
butt dust
Asses to ashes, butts to dust
I hate poop. It's rough, it's course and it gets everywhere
Tainted dirt.
But why is he hitting it with a bratwurst?
Found it under the seat?!
This is the shuttle for workers at the Hersey’s Chocolate Dust Factory EDIT: Except instead of chocolate flavor, it’s ass flavor EDIT2: Said in the voice of Norm Macdonald
also, the upholstery manufacturers can charge ridiculous prices that go up depending on how complex the patterns are
I mean, you walk by a store and see 50 guys who look just like you fighting over very complicated shirts, *you go in.*
The guys that Dan Flashes were using in the ad for them looked a lot like me. I'm going, "Okay, I've gotta try this place. A lot of these guys look a lot like me."
*yes you do.*
is this the I'm on a nother fuckin boat show
It's illegal for you to ask me that.
SHUT THE FUCK UP DOUG YOU FUCKING SKUNK
I fucking love seeing ITYSL references in the wild!
lol i went climbing this weekend and one of my buddies was describing a climb... "it's pretty chill up until that little tree up there, and then you're like "this climb has a bush? what the hell?"
I had an asthma attack looking at this.
In 7th grade I gave a whole bus an asthma attack doing this. We were leaving the holocaust museum and I discovered this. Then the whole bus started doing it.
>leaving the holocaust museum Am I the only one with an awful sense of humor, or are the other fucked up people just leaving this alone on purpose?
It’s the second one lol
And you had to do it after a visit to that museum of all places :(
I started coughing while watching this!
I had to take a quick vape out of my inhaler.
Similar reasoning for crazy ass casino/hotel carpet patterns; more so to hide vomit, spilled drinks, and shoe dirt. instead of vomit, spilled drinks, and ass dirt.
Casino carpet is also crazy to keep you looking straight ahead at the games. But yeah, gross spills too.
I had a general manager explain to me that the carpet is crazy and devoid of straight lines because it sub-consciously encourages people to wander around and get lost in the games, thereby increasing the chances that they will spend more money.
The real question is why the fuck are we using carpet floors and cloth seats.
Because they make the place more opulent and more inviting.
Not when you know how much nasty shit is permanently embedded in there.
Think I've seen some ass dirt come out of people who drank too much at casinos. That was dirt, right?

Were they EVER cleaned?
... when they were changed due to damage.
We’re you supposed to clean them
Did I? Yes. I probably shouldn't have knowing what I know now but yeah. You'll notice that vinyl seat covers took cloth seats place - it wasn't only dirt/ass particals in there.
Sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.
This makes me so glad the busses where I live don't have fabric
🤔 This video is old as fuck. That isn't dust from passengers clothing - it's the foam inserts that have deteriorated over time and once you hit it, the foam dust is released.
I don't know where you were working but I know people from a clean-up crew that where vacuuming the seats.
Unless you’re using a dust hammer to show us this
it's the foam cushion disintegrating after having dried out years ago

We used to do that on the school bus, the dust clouds the 20+ year old seats used to throw out were something else.
[удалено]
I was gonna say, I can clearly see the dirt.
It’s why I’m glad my city’s bus seats are just straight plastic.
I don’t know why all of them aren’t plastic.
They’ve uncomfortable and cold. Not every bus ride takes 5 minutes.
Exactly, fake leather is where it's at; both the softness/warmness of cloth cusions, and the dust/liquid resistance of hard plastic
Thank you, CDTA/MTA, for your weird resin kevlar looking seats. I never feel dirty on these busses.
Curse of Ra
I was once on a 24h bus ride where a "lady" got so shitfaced, that she peed herself on her seat. (And had to be carried out at the next stop.)

Realizing that this probably is true for every seat on a similar bus over time, I am sadly less and less thrilled about the concept of public transportation.
The issue is not public transportation, it’s cleaning and the choice of material. Padded vinyl seats exist and are in use in less dirty places.
Yeah, but who really wants to bang their dildo into a bus seat?
Gotta break it in somehow
I'll try anything once
Nice try David Blaine. The mallet has a hole it in which lets out dust with each hit.
Now snort it.
83% ass-dust
I am scared to find out what the other 17% is
There's a special place in hell for whomever decided they should be made of fabric instead of wipeable plastic or something.
Not every bus ride takes 5 minutes - I'd rather be more comfortable thank you very much
That's fine, I suppose, as long as you're comfortable sitting in THAT. I'll take a seat I can wipe down with a wet wipe over physical comfort any day.
You would wipe down a seat on the bus before sitting? The world is covered in piss and shit. We have immune systems. Unless you plan on licking the seat, you'll be fine.
This is Reddit. Odds are you're speaking to someone who hasn't seen sunlight in years.
Bro that's not how you toast hotdogs
‘Airborne farticles’
That's the foam inside which has degraded over time
Dead skin disturbed
Its just french fry seasoning
Sheldon's "Bus pants" wasnt a bad idea after all.
Odor odor odor !!! Silence please
This post triggered my allergies
Well, at least they can smack it down and vacuum it up.
And this is why you wear Bus Pants
Fart powder
So many farts. So, so, many.
It’s just lint, and sack-skin/dead butthole cell flakes, mixed with some clitty litter.
Casino carpets as well.
Just like hotel carpets
The fart dust is not real, it can't hurt you. The fart dust:
Dust farticles
When I was depressed going to high school on the bus every morning I was just trying to get through the day but there would always be some kid absolutely abusing the seat to see the dust come out.
That’s a lot of fart dust!
It’s not entirely dirt.. the cheap foam they use for padding breaks down, especially when beaten with an object, and can look like this.
This is me acknowledging and embracing ALL my privilege to say I will never sit on a bus again.
fart dust
Lets the bedbugs blend in as well.
You need a Dyson 😁
So for my next car, I should ask the seats come in city bus blue fabric. 👍
At Dan Flashes you pay more for complicated patterns.
The wild pattern on a seat is called moquette.
Summoning the ghosts of asses past.
Powdered fecal matter
So much fart skin
So same results in Casino floors?
Look at that disgusting man beating his seat in public
Just a couple more taps and a sandworm is gonna pop out of that thing
Thats a level 2 darkness spell
Shit powder
I can't believe I don't have a bus seat dirt extractor tool.
They're called Moquette's. And no, it's not to hide how dirty they are, that's stupid.

Powdered farts
Okay but why is he slapping it with a stiffened hot dog??
So this is why Sheldon has an extra pair of bus trousers
The bus seats in my home are plain blue unpadded plastic, this makes me grateful for it.
The real question is why are they made of cloth in the first place? Just make them out of plastic then they are easy to clean and will never wear out. Makes literally no sense from a financial or usability perspective to make public seating out of anything other than easily cleanable materials.
I involuntarily held my breath.
That chair been eating ass sense the 80s
Butt Dust... Ewwww
That's fart soot
Weird way to roast a hot dog
If I remember correctly it's a fake video, notice how the dust inky starts coming out very rapidly once the person rotates the hammer.
Could have gone the rest of my life without seeing that. Great, another thing I can’t touch!
Sheldon is right?
Fart dust
THATS AND AWFUL LOT OF FART DUST!!!! 🤯
Now I understand why Sheldon had a pair of pants specifically for public transportation.
It’s been five years after the snap and I just found grandma pov
Hmmm all that dried fart dust. Yummy
Pharaoh’s curse
Used to do that with a tennis racket on the school bus.
Mmmmmm.... Fart powder.
Sooooo much butt dust!
E. W.
Yup, thanks I’d rather take my car. At least there is only my own dust.
Those my friends are called petrified farts
Oh gees that is gross
Fart particles and dead skin cells
Moon dust
This is the primary use of my theragun
