  • This makes ppl want to puke...

    Literally!


    Have you ever had a bicycle stolen? Well, a new company thinks it has a funky way to combat the crime - by creating a bike lock which spews foul-smelling gas.

    The "Skunklock" is a U-shaped steel bicycle lock with a pressurised, stinking gas inside.

    The gas escapes in a cloud if someone attempts to cut the lock.

    The company claims its "noxious chemical" is so disgusting it "induces vomit in the majority of cases."

    Even better, it claims, the gas causes "shortness of breathing" and impaired eyesight.

    True ... just imagine such a puke lock at a public bike rack near a german busy railway station exit.
    Someone activating the lock by trying to break it will surely affect lots of people.
    And probably cause the police and anti terror teams to be alerted, because people think it is an IS poison gas attack

      Lawsuits indeed. Plus if something goes wrong for the owner of the lock... Another lawsuit.
      For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

        Che needs to know about this. Maybe he won't get punked again.

              This one definitely sounds like the result of a couple of stoners in their college dorm.
              Sounds good, but not quite thought all the way through.
              It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
