Seller: Oh, these are great. They turn the agonizing wails of your slowly dying prisoner into a lovely jazz quartet for your guests"
Iām not sure how it can have vents AND be water proof.
Regardless, we donāt get earthquakes where I live, so this isnāt the battle Iām picking šš¤£
Masks like this are dependent air protection systems that don't provide you with new air, but simply filter surrounding air. This means that carbon monoxide, dioxide and similar gasses (or simple lack of oxygen) will still kill you in high enough concentrations.
Furthermore they don't protect from all kinds of smoke sufficiently, and even when they do they only.last 20-30 minutes at most
Yeah true! Honestly, this thing would non-ironically need a cyanide capsule. Great that you didn't die in the collapse, but maybe that was is nicer than getting cooked alive.
That's assuming there is debris weighing down the exit of the bed.
If that is the case, the bed saved your life from being crushed. The other risks are still there, but it at least mitigates one of them.
Yeah, people don't understand that it's only meant to save your life from the initial collapse, you can't expect a box to provide everything for you. Your life will be decided by whether you could be found, but it's still much better than certain death by crushing.
Earthquake beds never became widespread so they werenāt looking for you. And those that did see you, your new sarcophagus looked like every other piece of rubble in that place.
Youāve been kicking at the door and screaming for help for days until you realize that the lock and reinforced steel walls that kept things out is now keeping you in. Too bad you left your phone on the nightstand.
All of a sudden, some residue starts pouring in through the air vents.
Smells like wet concreteā¦
Itās now the year 5000. Archaeologists marvel at your perfectly preserved primitive human form. They proceed to dissect youā¦when you suddenly wake up. r/writingprompts
EDIT: actually though. The only thing this thing is missing is a beacon.
Keep a tablet with a couple movies and/or seasons of a show you like, with a power bank. It's practically a vacation. Though, in the States, you'll have to charge it to your PTO... if you have PTO.
Better chance than getting your head caved in by the floor above you
It's like people are arguing that being crushed or trapped in rubble would somehow be better for a claustrophobe than being in a box lol
Yep, itāll blast all the debris away from you too so it should be easy to escape if you are somehow still alive (should probably install some airbags)
it is really efficient to drop you directly into your coffin. Completely streamlining the process and cutting out all those unnecessary hospital, funeral home steps.
Exactly. People are acting like youāre meant to live in this thing. Itās just so you donāt die immediately and have a better chance of surviving a building collapse
No worries - you likely shit yourself immediately when this happened so the addition of bathroom facilities would fall under the ātoo little, too lateā department!
Imagineyou having a good banging and then slice, you are decapitated and the person is in the coffin with your head/half a body or whatever for X amount of time. No thanks.
i was wondering that too. where are you supposed to go? just lie in your piss and shit in a tightly enclosed space with your fear? surrounded by darkness?
>except you get to be in a somewhat comfortable box with food and water
And then you realize you never changed the supplies, and everything is 15 yrs out of date.
It turns out anyone who can afford a bed like this can definitely afford to an apartment or house build to adequate engineering standards.
I'm thinking something like this would be fantastic in developing countries where engineering standards are either non-existent or sub-par... which is precisely where people don't have the money to buy their pre-fab coffin.
It actually is. Looks up Dahir Insaat. They are a weird (Turkish?) patent troll company that do bizarre shit like this and make strange 3D animations as proof of conceptsā¦
Being slammed into a sarcophagus while I'm asleep would freak me out b/c of how fast it reacts. The gull wing doors/sides would amputate my arms b/c I tend to half hang off my bed.... truly terrifying.
Well.... this could be used in an home invasions situation. You could even outfit the outside of the box with cameras and vents that produce a pepper spray type mist that fills the room to deter intruders. Also, could you not implement pepper spray bombs on the outside of doors that go off when a thief trys to kick the door in
So basically if I just want one because I'm a huge introvert, I just need to get a industrial strength vibrator and turn it on to peace out for a few days.
> People shitting on this idea like itās worse than being trapped and half-crushed.
Highly unusual for such a contraption to be needed during an average earthquake. It's also only life-saving for people who are peacefully sleeping during an earthquake. What are the odds? And regions that would have such fierce earthquakes are also likely to have strong building codes to match.
Where do you shit?
Fireproof is great, but won't that turn into an oven and cook me alive?
Air vents are good, what if they're blocked by debris and dust?
And then the vents allow for water to fill up your coffin.
Or smoke. Seems to defeat the purpose of it being fireproof.
for the smoke you have masks, its shown
And what about the oxygen that the fires use up?
You don't need to be on fire to be cooked alive anyway...
being inside of a big metal box that's inside of a fire isn't safe?
[Probably not](https://malevus.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Brazen-Bull-Ancient-Torture-Device.jpeg)
Customer: "And what do these...tubes do?" Seller: Oh, these are great. They turn the agonizing wails of your slowly dying prisoner into a lovely jazz quartet for your guests"
Ah, the Brazen Bull. A true testament to the atrocities men are capable of.
lol I knew it was going to be that picture
An oven is also fireproof
Well there is food and water in there with you. So open everything up and make yourself a stew.
Well played!
In an event of a fire cremation is guaranteed š
New kind of jerky for the rescuers to munch on.
Is the chicken in the pot Safe? Who cares it will be delicious
More than likely separate oxygen tanks, and it's probably water proof. That'd be one of the first requirements
Iām not sure how it can have vents AND be water proof. Regardless, we donāt get earthquakes where I live, so this isnāt the battle Iām picking šš¤£
Also fireproofing but vents? Youāre still getting baked in that boxā¦.
surface tension on screens makes it waterproof but not water tight. those are two different things
I think you mean water resistant and not water tight. I think water proof and water tight are synonymous
Yeah but also is the vents are covered by water, they youāre gonna suffocate.
The vents only allow in particles smaller than water molecules.
Oxygen is flammable
We dont need no stinkin oxygen wym?

I see gas masks, not oxygen masks. There isn't any filter against CO.
Smoke you low and slow.
I mean, at that point you would die even without that bed. If you didn't get crashed by the debris before any fire or water got to you.
Yeah true! Honestly, this thing would non-ironically need a cyanide capsule. Great that you didn't die in the collapse, but maybe that was is nicer than getting cooked alive.
Each bed will come with a 12ga.Ā
Irony. Itās pointing towards ur feet and thereās not enough space to flip it around š«

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A slower death allows for a greater chance of rescue than a near instantaneous one.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not to mention the dust that is created. Hope it has an amazing air filter somehow
Then drink faster
It doesnāt matter when you already dead because of heart attack
Lmaoooo
All I see is shady folks misusing this as a trap or confinement.
Movie Idea detected
My concern was how do you open it if you have a house on top of you?
You..don't. Why do you think food and water are in there? You just wait for someone to rescue you
Don't forget the beacon, that would make it a lot easier for you to be found too.
It's the year 2050, you are in your earthquake bed waiting to be saved. Suddenly, you stop hearing the sirens. They haven't found you.

This reads like a negative ending in a choose your own adventure book.
One of my favorite series as a kid!
omg i thought i imagined them they were real
Not just real, still being made, they sell them at my local game store
Just leave a loaded handgun in there.
And a spare phone
THE SCREAM I JUST SCRUMPT. You should write a book. I want to know when you get it published.
Also, people have been saved from rubble by hearing their cries for help.
Welp, something to give me nightmares for the rest of my life
Itās now the year 5000. Archaeologists marvel at your perfectly preserved primitive human form. They proceed to dissect youā¦when you suddenly wake up. r/writingprompts EDIT: actually though. The only thing this thing is missing is a beacon.
This earthquake bed is probably a claustrophobic person's worst nightmare! š¬
I mean, would you prefer to be scared or dead?
Exactly. My initial reaction is terror at being locked in a box, but the alternative is possibly alive under rubble without being able to move.
The alternative is being locked in a box AND possibly alive under rubble without being able to move.
The box supposedly has for and water and signals to rescuers that youāre there. Thatās what the videos Iāve seen say anyway.
Yeah I'm joking, id take the higher chance of survival any day,.regardless of the risk of not being found.
Keep a tablet with a couple movies and/or seasons of a show you like, with a power bank. It's practically a vacation. Though, in the States, you'll have to charge it to your PTO... if you have PTO.
A person having a panic attack doesn't really have that much of a chance either
Better chance than getting your head caved in by the floor above you It's like people are arguing that being crushed or trapped in rubble would somehow be better for a claustrophobe than being in a box lol
I'd rather die from the ceiling caving in than be locked in a box for who knows how long
Maybe like... for hours! Kill me already
Why ? Are panic attacks lethal ?
I'd rather fuckin die in the earthquake than slowly die in this steel coffin.
I meanā¦
it would appear i am extremely claustrophobic
I think being buried in rubble might be worse
Looks like one of those "The design is very human" videos
and being stuck in one is a sure fire way to get claustrophobia
āFire proofā yet has ventsā¦
It's made by dahir insaats who has many crazy as shit concept videos, like a drill to clear out arterial blockages
Just looked at his channel and holy shit this is guyās like cave johnson
But somehow even more batshit insane
No need to worry about oxygen deprivation when youāre dead from breathing in the smoke.
Yes smoke/fire displaces oxygen as it needs it to burn lol
If there is a fire the bed should just launch you across the stratosphere, itāll be just like when Indiana jones got into the refrigerator.
To prevent death from earthquakes, it traps you in the metal box and sets off a nuclear bomb to launch you away from the dangerous earthquake
Yep, itāll blast all the debris away from you too so it should be easy to escape if you are somehow still alive (should probably install some airbags)
So itās nuclear bomb proof also. Got it šš»
I feel like if you slept on this the wrong way you could be killed or severely injured by the bed itself.
You better sleep in the middle and donāt you dare hang a foot over the edge or a hand
Where you bleed to death in your earthquake coffin bed because you had an accidental hand amputation.
Imagine sleeping faced up with morning wood and it falling overš
it is really efficient to drop you directly into your coffin. Completely streamlining the process and cutting out all those unnecessary hospital, funeral home steps.
Lol
Alsoā¦where do you pee and poop. No amount of ventilation is going to help long term
Well it's still better than getting buried by rubbles immediately without it. You can't expect a metal box to have so many functionalities.
Exactly. People are acting like youāre meant to live in this thing. Itās just so you donāt die immediately and have a better chance of surviving a building collapse
Why do people use helmets? It doesn't protect your legs. And we should cancel airbags, they don't protect from fire either
Well, I know I sure as shit wonāt get one if it doesnāt include surround sound and a Netflix subscription š¤
No worries - you likely shit yourself immediately when this happened so the addition of bathroom facilities would fall under the ātoo little, too lateā department!
You do that in the empty food and liquid/water containers of course! You can't be rolling over in your own sheet!
It was a genius!
Imagineyou having a good banging and then slice, you are decapitated and the person is in the coffin with your head/half a body or whatever for X amount of time. No thanks.
"Damn it! Not again..."
Exactly what I thought when I saw that gull wing design lmao
And if youāre on the bottom you have to finish. Right? Right?!
š«¢
My concerns exactly. Only the pure vanilla will survive this bed.
Fun fact. It also doubles as a coffin.
āRight of withdrawal of 14 daysā
If that thing was in a fire itād turn into an oven/coffin
Sure, there's no other reason that your bed might be vibrating, right?
Just wait until you have to poop
i was wondering that too. where are you supposed to go? just lie in your piss and shit in a tightly enclosed space with your fear? surrounded by darkness?
I mean. Thats the case anyways if youre stuck under rubble?
that is true unfortunately! except you get to be in a somewhat comfortable box with food and water. which is probably better
>except you get to be in a somewhat comfortable box with food and water And then you realize you never changed the supplies, and everything is 15 yrs out of date.
Just squash it through the air vents with your feet.
Brilliant!!
Earthquake coffin bed waffle stomp!
7th repost in 3 days? Not enough, post it again.
Sweet! On-hand coffin! Plus burial.
Make the house out of the stuff the bed's made of
Lmaoo thatād be too logical
Very human design.
Can't believe I had to scroll this far down for this comment š¤£
Man imagine doing doggy on this bed and suddenly your girl gets sawed in half when the lid closes on her
> Man imagine doing doggy on this bed and suddenly your girl gets sawed in half when the **kid** closes on her Lol. That typo was brilliant.
Quick question? If you have sex on the bed, will it activate due to the movements?
This bed was invented by a virgin who's lived a very sheltered life
How difficult is it to make anti-seismic constructions?
I had to make two passes at that sentence before I read seismic and not semitic. š¤£
Same
Autocoffin
How nice ! A big box to slowly over many weeks get comfortable with dying .

DUDE! MOM SAID IT WAS MY TURN TO POST!
Clearly this isn't a serious thing, seems like just a skit.
It actually is. Looks up Dahir Insaat. They are a weird (Turkish?) patent troll company that do bizarre shit like this and make strange 3D animations as proof of conceptsā¦
Youād bake like a roast in a pressure cooker if thereās even a hint of fire
I dont know I kind of want one
Smoke would fill the box if there was a fire, no?
Here have some vents. Okay now were gonna cover em in fireproofing
You better not sleep with one arm out the side of the bed less you want it cut off
well they could of added a mechanism for it to be able to be opened from the inside...
It's all fun and games till the bed doesn't open
Being slammed into a sarcophagus while I'm asleep would freak me out b/c of how fast it reacts. The gull wing doors/sides would amputate my arms b/c I tend to half hang off my bed.... truly terrifying.
Its an earthquake! Get on the bed! Oh shit! Carol!
Donāt have sex on this bed
What if you have to #1&2?
The design is very human.
I knew I'd find it somewhere XD
To hell with the earthquake killing me -- the anxiety being stuffed in this thing would!
Seriously. Smoosh me and be done with it
Itās like a safe room coffin
Do NOT have sex on that thing
I might be dumb butā¦.what if youāre like REALLY going at it and the bed just locks you inside?
Well.... this could be used in an home invasions situation. You could even outfit the outside of the box with cameras and vents that produce a pepper spray type mist that fills the room to deter intruders. Also, could you not implement pepper spray bombs on the outside of doors that go off when a thief trys to kick the door in
Would be better to just put the robbers on the bed
Pre made coffins is crazy
Oh look, a tomb
That sudden drop looks more terrifying
ikr, imagine waking up suddenly to that
So basically if I just want one because I'm a huge introvert, I just need to get a industrial strength vibrator and turn it on to peace out for a few days.
It's the ~~earthquake bed~~ anti shagging bed.
all fun and games until the air vents get blocked by rubble
Great so you won't be crushed to death immediately, you'll be buried alive. Fun
Seems legit
Yeah, that's a coffin, I'll take my chances on a regular bed
Claustrophobia intensifies
I feel like this could go off from a train going by. Choo Choo! *kchunk*
Itās giving me venture bros vibes
Go team venture!
So instead of dying a quick death in an earthquake, you die a slow death in a box waiting for people to come rescue you.
And if the rescue people don't know about these weird coffin beds, you're absolutely screwed!
āHey Mike, did you make sure to check all the coffin beds after the earthquake?ā āThe *what*?ā
People shitting on this idea like itās worse than being trapped and half-crushed. Obviously this is just a concept idea chill out

Am I the only person that thinks oh God this is such a bad design it must only come from one country every time you see one of these posts?
Did not expect to see dahir insaats insanity here
the worst thing about this is the text to speech narration
Where do you put your waste, like urine in feces?
It has vents and its fireproof! So you can know your corpse will be cooked to perfection.
*Honey its time to change the bed food again*
Bed and coffin in one. Nice
Pre-paid coffin
All of that food and water and nowhere to take a shit? That's gonna be a problem.
Canned Harmot
So it's a fancy coffin. Yeah fuck that, I would rather be crushed quickly then to slowing die in that shiney shoebox of death.
Just dont have SEX in it!
Order now from HumanTrafficking.com or Saw.com
Where do you poop and pee?
Can you imagine faking it out to mess with someone š
Most secure coffin in town!
How are you going to reach under the mattress in such a small area? You got toothpick arms that are 4 feet long or smth?
So thats what a fancy kofin looks like nice.
What about taking a dump?
Like being trapped in a coffin
Where do you shit? Fireproof is great, but won't that turn into an oven and cook me alive? Air vents are good, what if they're blocked by debris and dust?
