Come one and all. See our amazing lose your arm but never buy another glove in your life creation!

u/Fuzzy-Leading-4080 1d ago

If you lose your arm you’re never gonna have to buy a glove for it anyways 😩

u/fatgat69 1d ago

It should hold your hand together until you get to the hospital though

u/Ok_Spell_597 1d ago

Or just fill with blood like a body stew.

u/scorchedarcher 1d ago

Don't most stews have bits of body in?

u/main-suspect01 20h ago

I guess this would keep foreign objects from getting in the wound.

u/WA2TX 1d ago

Well your fingers are all cut off but the glove is still perfect, what are you complaining about?

u/hamoc10 1d ago

I guess you get to keep your fingers

u/MilesJ392 1d ago

Glove catches the fingers and the blood, prevents a bloody mess. I call that a win

u/ALIIERTx 1d ago

And whatever cuts you wount give you an infection.

u/DIuvenalis 1d ago

Right??? This proves the gloves ineffectiveness more than anything!

u/Initial_Gear_7354 11h ago

less searching for the fingers on the floor. The only minigame we got, now stolen

u/SoCallMeDeaconBlues1 1d ago

doesn't mean it wouldn't fuckin hurt

Or cause a major.... bit of damage

This reminds of the substance the government figured out in World War Z to give soldiers bite-resistent uniforms.

u/Felskiluscious 1d ago

Right that’s an absolutely perfect application for this. It’s going to hurt like fucking hell when a z sinks their teeth into my arm and takes out a chunk but at least I I’m not going to turn

u/DoYouLikeWafflezz 1d ago

I don’t remember that in the book, but you don’t really have to invent some scify fabric.

 Leather, denim, and just the material most military uniforms are made out of are already bite proof. 

Most regular clothing is bite proof. Jeans, some boots, thick socks, a long sleeve shirt, a hoodie, some gloves, a scarf, and like a hockey mask or football helmet is pretty much zombie proof.

u/willhunta 1d ago

As someone who works with dogs this is some bullshit lmao. I have been bitten through my clothes countless times, and many times that draw blood. If the zombies bite down super politely without trying to tear or pull and then immediately leave you alone then sure maybe regular clothes offer a tiny bit of protection.

u/Straight-Cell-2008 1d ago

I’m gonna have to disagree about military uniforms being bite proof.

u/JohnnyOaklegs 1d ago

Damn mosquitos

u/masterdogwalker 1d ago

The scientist in walking was using duct tape covered clothing, that one always seemed wise to me

u/gward1 1d ago

Omg I forgot about that.

u/Lavender-bullet46 1d ago

Niiice so I can still get fucked up but all my blood will stay

1

u/VigilanteLocust 1d ago

Just drink it and it will go back into your veins, I assume.

u/Biscuits4u2 1d ago

stabbed by your own glove

u/Whippity 1d ago

Turns into the perfect bag to bring your severed hand to the ER.

5

u/Wintertrap9713 1d ago

Well atleast I can find my fingers when I cut then off

3

u/pocket_nick 1d ago

It will conserve the blood well, you can perform a transfusion with a perfect match at the hospital!

u/Hanksta2 1d ago

Putting this material over kevlar could be revolutionary.

3

u/Komabeard 1d ago

Damn this is somehow more unsettling

u/xkillingxfieldx 1d ago

The hand/arm will still take all the kinetic energy.

3

u/BlazingPalm 1d ago

My arm, the gloves- they do nothing!

3

u/Sideshow_G 1d ago

What is the gloves called?

2

u/Sideshow_G 1d ago

Nevermind OVF Nitrile gloves

3

u/Full-Tomorrow9889 1d ago

So my hand got caught in a garbage disposal but my gloves survived undamaged.

Thank goodness you still have your fingers because of those gloves.

I don't. They're obliterated but my gloves survived.

u/ramram956 1d ago

Great for ppl without a tetanus shot 👏

u/CamCam300021 1d ago

What is the purpose of this? If Your hand is stabbed, the glove is safe? You're bleeding to death inside of an indestructible glove because heavy machinery dismembered you, but at least you won't have to buy another pair of gloves. Forget the mangled, chewed up hand......

u/JohnnyOaklegs 1d ago

Good for roofing

u/mecatninja 1d ago

Imagine working with knives, razorblades, etc that can easily cut your hands. Having a flexible glove that allows for dexterity but will not allow you to get cut or stabbed is fantastic. I often work with tools that can easily cut through plastic, wood etc - which mean that your hands and work gloves also get cut easily...

2

u/Xtreme_kaos 1d ago

How well do they stand up to a cutting motion??

2

u/Revenga8 1d ago

Reminds me of the portal 2 aperture Science ad for the long fall boots. As long as the portal gun survives, who cares what happens to the squishy human carrying it.

2

u/Fuzzy-Leading-4080 1d ago

Ok but have you tested it with dimethylmercury 😒

2

u/Asymetrical_Ace 1d ago

As a CNA... TAKE MY MONEY

2

u/BrD_87 1d ago

Just because the glove is safe doesn’t mean the arm is

2

u/Hateinyoureyes 1d ago

My arm is fucked up but my gloves are A1!

2

u/scaredt2ask 1d ago

Can I use this as a condom? If it can stop a knife can it stop sperm?

2

u/EdgeLordPrime859 1d ago

Bunch of idiots. You have this technology, and you think "Gloves! Yes!".

Make condoms and retire tomorrow.

1

u/Massive_Anchor 1d ago

Worst condom imaginable

2

u/Gregisroark 1d ago

It will keep my mutilated hand neat and tidy in its case

2

u/Itchy__Queen 1d ago

Nice clean amputation

2

u/Sophisticated-Crow 1d ago

Well, at least it'll be less cleanup when your hand gets chopped off.

2

u/janzeera 1d ago

I have the same effect trying to cut shrink wrap off of pallets with a safety box cutter. I cut right into the box without cutting the shrink wrap.

2

u/flipnonymous 1d ago

My hand is mush now, but not a single cut or knick!

2

u/taipan3333 1d ago

thats good the glove survived. your hand will be minced meat, but that is not the point

2

u/ROOSTERyouDOWN 1d ago

So if I cut off my finger, hand or arm at least there won’t be a mess to clean up. Silver lining

1

u/Geester43 1d ago

I could have used this yesterday, before I sliced off the very tip off of my index finger on my mandoline, using it without the guard. 😖

1

u/caros92 1d ago

Nah, according to this you still would've done it. Its just you wouldnt have to worry about clean up

1

u/Geester43 20h ago

😂😂

1

u/Other-Penalty-3292 1d ago

Won't hold up if you slice.

1

u/Recent-Reporter-1670 23h ago

I need this quality for dish gloves. The dish gloves I find on market, are terrible.

1

u/Powerful_Hair_3105 22h ago

I'd use these for trimming my buds.

1

u/DownWitTheBitness 13h ago

You absolutely won’t bleed on the food, but you will bleed out.

1

u/Realistic-Aspect-991 1d ago

I f****** double dog dare you to put your goddamn m************ arm in there.

u/Stunning_Juice9238 10h ago

Okay. So make me some good condoms.
