It

[u/Inspector_7]

[u/Woofles85]

What is the chest hole for?

[u/stay_fr0sty → u/Woofles85]

That’s how you got into the suit. The hole gets bigger. You put it on the floor, step into the hole, work your legs down into the pants section, and pull the suit up over your head.

Then you pull the drawstring on that hole to shrink it down until it’s nearly shut. Then you pull the drawstring on the hood as much as you want, to get a waterproof seal around your face.

There is no back zipper, or anything that would require two people to put this on. It was designed for one person to be able to put on unassisted.

Then the hunter could go out in his kayak in the arctic and hunt in extremely cold temperatures, staying almost completely dry.

[u/TranscendentaLobo → u/stay_fr0sty]

The Inuits are just incredible. A testament to the resourcefulness of human beings. Love their nature legends too.

[u/TheMoonDude → u/TranscendentaLobo]

And the meteorite that some of them made into weapons and have legends that tell of it's impact

[u/EasternDelight → u/TheMoonDude]

Anahito!

[u/Markusictus → u/TranscendentaLobo]

Inuitive

[u/Ok-Environment-7970 → u/TranscendentaLobo]

Fun fact it's almost identical to the design of the Russian space suit

[u/deathclawiii → u/TranscendentaLobo]

‘Inuit’ is already a plural.

[u/slavuj00 → u/deathclawiii]

What is the singular? (out of interest)

[u/deathclawiii → u/slavuj00]

Inui, it means “person” where Inuit means “people”.

[u/PM__ME_YOUR_CATS → u/deathclawiii]

It is actually “Inuk” (meaning person)

[u/deathclawiii → u/PM__ME_YOUR_CATS]

You’re right.

[u/smellygooch18 → u/stay_fr0sty]

It’s pretty amazing design. I bet that it’s warm/dry when you need it most.

[u/notoriousbsr → u/stay_fr0sty]

I thought this was a brilliant bs answer and then I kept reading. Were it not true it would be a great work of classic sci-fi Duck Dodger putting on a spacesuit to go meet Marvin

[u/ma33a → u/stay_fr0sty]

Did they have something to cover up the hole in the chest? Seems like a weak point in the whole waterproof setup.

[u/Bananaland_Man → u/ma33a]

You don't swim in it. Not much water will get in.

[u/ma33a → u/Bananaland_Man]

If you are whaling it's not the water I would be concerned about but everything else.

[u/Bananaland_Man → u/ma33a]

Like the freezing cold, and staying pretty much dry, and many other things, yes. But those first two things require this suit (as far as low-tech/no-tech goes)

[u/SamanthaJaneyCake → u/Bananaland_Man]

Unless your kayak rolls and the “Greenland roll” was coined for a reason.

[u/layla1127 → u/stay_fr0sty]

Do you know what it is made of?

[u/geak78 → u/layla1127]

Anahito

Looks like seal skin

[u/dobsofglabs → u/layla1127]

It looks like one piece so it would have to be a big ass animal. Is a seal big enough? Maybe its whale skin?

[u/SamanthaJaneyCake → u/stay_fr0sty]

It’s a sphincter.

[u/Ulrich453 → u/stay_fr0sty]

Would they put anything over the hole?

[u/stay_fr0sty → u/Ulrich453]

They’d pull a drawstring around the hole so it got really small. Then they could wrap some more leather around that one area and tie it if they wanted to be extra dry.

[u/SmoothOperator89 → u/stay_fr0sty]

Almost completely dry except for a frozen wet patch on the center of their chest.

[u/JCollinO → u/stay_fr0sty]

Thank you for the update on this. And also how do you know that lol?!

[u/ArsalanAlli → u/stay_fr0sty]

This guy suits.

[u/Wut_the_ → u/stay_fr0sty]

That’s a lot of words to say climb into the suit’s butthole

[u/Thunderbolt1011 → u/stay_fr0sty]

Why could they not just step through the face hole?

[u/Nokaah_Noktar → u/Woofles85]

My guess: Climbing in and out of the suit

[u/lesteiny → u/Woofles85]

From what i recall seeing this last time, that is how you put on the suit. It has a drawstring to cinch the hole a closed as possible and then a leather flap that sits behind it that is supposed to sit between the wearer and the opening to make it water tight/resistant.

[u/Inspector_7 → u/Woofles85]

For Quatto to warn about starting the reactors

[u/realnailbiterhuh → u/Inspector_7]

If it was all for the Quatto joke, it was worth it.

The most I’ve ever laughed in a movie was smoking pot and not knowing the Quatto reveal was going to happen. My boys and I couldn’t stop. Chest hurt, stomach hurt, couldn’t breathe. Kept rewinding the cassette and getting more Quatto.

[u/theWildBore → u/realnailbiterhuh]

Just reading this is making ME crack up

[u/SkipTheIceCreamMan → u/realnailbiterhuh]

What a great memory

[u/IAmASeeker → u/realnailbiterhuh]

What movie?

[u/agro_arbor → u/IAmASeeker]

Total Recall (1990)

[u/IAmASeeker → u/agro_arbor]

Huh. I've seen it a few times and have no idea what y'all are talking about. Time for a rewatch, I suppose.

[u/agro_arbor → u/IAmASeeker]

Me too, been too long. One of my faves as a kid, especially the face melting and the 3 boobs!

TIL it's actually spelt Kuato

[u/Taqqer00 → u/agro_arbor]

Was that about the people living underground with those huge blades for ventilation?

[u/TimeForWaluigi → u/Inspector_7]

Quaaaaaid…

[u/uh60chief → u/TimeForWaluigi]

Start…the…reactor

[u/labtrash68 → u/TimeForWaluigi]

Happy cake day!

[u/tmbr36 → u/Inspector_7]

Open your miiind

[u/TranscendentaLobo → u/tmbr36]

Open YOUR miind!

[u/UrDeAdPuPpYbOnEr → u/Inspector_7]

Get your ass to mars!

[u/Pendraconica → u/Inspector_7]

Quatto stays. Quatto's gold

[u/HeavenDenied → u/Inspector_7]

See you at the party, Richter! 8p

[u/The_Werodile → u/Woofles85]

For whaling

[u/Woofles85 → u/The_Werodile]

Ah of course

[u/BelCantoTenor → u/Woofles85]

It’s a glory hole for motor boating boobies. Sailors…am I right? 🤷‍♂️

[u/Quiet-Shallot3290 → u/Woofles85]

For the whussy

[u/fedl1ngen → u/Woofles85]

Ever see Total Recall? That's for Kuato.

[u/cpt_morgan___ → u/fedl1ngen]

Why on Mars would anyone ever downvote this answer?! “Quuuuuuaaaaaiidd start the reaaccccctooooor!”

[u/fedl1ngen → u/cpt_morgan___]

Some people are just uncultured. Verhoeven at his best.

[u/Codex_Absurdum → u/Woofles85]

A mini arc reactor

[u/Enrico_Tortellini → u/Woofles85]

Whale Sex

[u/GrdnLovingGoatFarmer → u/Woofles85]

The arc reactor

[u/jarious → u/Woofles85]

For the arc reactor

[u/airgp → u/Woofles85]

That is how they got into the suit.

[u/TrailMomKat → u/Woofles85]

It's how you get into it

[u/frozen_pope → u/Woofles85]

For a second head.

[u/beeglowbot → u/Woofles85]

giant strap on dildos

[u/Standard-Tension9550 → u/Woofles85]

Narwhal target

[u/Klutzer_Munitions → u/Woofles85]

quaaaaaaid

Start the reactor

[u/Pschobbert → u/Woofles85]

So your kuato can breathe.

[u/LazarusKatana → u/Woofles85]

Xenomorph chest busters ofc

[u/Kayogin → u/Woofles85]

To fire sonic shrieks at players that make too much noise

[u/GrandmasBoyToy69 → u/Woofles85]

Steve Erwin special

[u/SkullyKat]

I wanna see an A24 horror movie set in 1834 greenland, with the MC as one of these whalers

[u/battleship217 → u/SkullyKat]

I mean The Terror is pretty much that vibe

[u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 → u/battleship217]

Great rec! Can't recommend it enough!!

[u/SkullyKat → u/battleship217]

Good to know, added to the List

[u/renome → u/SkullyKat]

Damn, I wish I could watch The Terror for the first time again. Amazing season of television.

[u/BlackfishBlues → u/renome]

In looking it up I am just finding out that they turned it into an anthology series! Season 2 is in a Japanese-American internment camp, season 3 is in a psych hospital.

[u/renome → u/BlackfishBlues]

Yeah, I haven't seen seen S3 but I found S2 to be a bit meh.

[u/SicSemperTyrannos4ur → u/battleship217]

Have you seen "The North Water"?

[u/SicSemperTyrannos4ur → u/SkullyKat]

There is a series called "The North Water" that I found to be very well done. Not horror or set in Greenland, per se, but it's pretty damn good. I watched it directly after The Terror.

[u/manfroze → u/SkullyKat]

Directed by Robert Eggers

[u/SkullyKat → u/manfroze]

Yes.

[u/Dull-Seaworthiness73 → u/SkullyKat]

Lmao the lighthouse is basically that 1890 lighthouse keepers u could imagine they did that type of thing off screen

[u/DylanFTW → u/SkullyKat]

And it needs to be directed by Robert Eggers.

[u/bogardo → u/SkullyKat]

Watch the short film Ivalu. That’s some “real life horror shit” going on right now too.

[u/welding_guy_from_LI]

We’re whalers on the moon , we carry a harpoon 😗🎶

[u/Eastbound_AKA → u/welding_guy_from_LI]

But there ain't no whales so we tell tall tales!

[u/welding_guy_from_LI → u/Eastbound_AKA]

🌝 I’ll have to confiscate your alcohol

[u/Eastbound_AKA → u/welding_guy_from_LI]

Better mascots than you have tried.

[u/welding_guy_from_LI → u/Eastbound_AKA]

At least I still have my self respect 😭

[u/woobwoobwoob → u/welding_guy_from_LI]

r/unexpectedfuturama

[u/StopNateCrimes → u/Eastbound_AKA]

And sing our whaling tune!

(sorry for running late guys, my car broke down, got here as soon as I can.)

[u/Eastbound_AKA → u/StopNateCrimes]

Gaah! I'll drive my own car! With blackjack... And hookers!

[u/paulD1983R]

So is it a whales blowhole or otherwise?

[u/Constant-Still-8443 → u/paulD1983R]

Definitely a blowhole but not what your thinking of

[u/Allbranflakes18]

They really do repurpose every part of the whale huh…

[u/Foxycotin666]

There are times I could have honestly used this.
Modern rain gear has too many layers and spots for water ingress for true oceanic storm conditions.

I’m sick of accepting I’ll just be kinda wet all the time.

[u/weavebot]

Why there's a hole in the chest

[u/turquoise_amethyst]

Ah, it’s the suit butthole!

[u/heidly_ees]

Looks like someone skinned a teletubby

[u/IamREBELoe → u/heidly_ees]

As they should

[u/Toolongreadanyway]

I read this as WAILING suit. I was wondering if it was an art instalation that wailed spookily when wind went through it or something.

It would be cool though.

[u/Old_Poem2736]

In the 70s the US military, had the M1 decontamination suit, you got in the same way, but it was like 30mil rubber, and hot as hell

[u/IAmASeeker → u/Old_Poem2736]

What is 30mil? Do you mean mm? The rubber was over an inch thick??

[u/Old_Poem2736 → u/IAmASeeker]

Not mm mils it was really thivk like maybe 1/16 or more of an inch

[u/kawaiinessa]

Why's a whaling suit have a hollow hole

[u/Skezas1 → u/kawaiinessa]

It's the way you enter the suit

[u/UnfortunateSnort12 → u/[deleted]]

I, am, whaling man. Crawling into suit just as fast I can!

[u/DeathStarVet]

I should call her

[u/BunByte]

Reminds me of a tardigrade.

[u/TheScrobber]

Tony Stark built this in a cave FROM SCRAPS!

[u/dmo7000]

Imagine being a whale

[u/riskeverything]

I saw these in a museum and they casually mentioned in the notes that human semen was used as an adhesive in their construction

[u/cylonlover → u/riskeverything]

Yeah, an old tried and true method. Of course better synthetic adhesive has been invented since then. Semen is almost only used in envelopes nowadays, due to its unique ability to be reactivated with only a drop of saliva, and although the human variety still works best, the cheaper brands uses pig's.

[u/cacticus_matticus → u/cylonlover]

You're doin the lord's work, fine gent.

[u/__Sentient_Fedora__]

Arc Reactor?

[u/legendofzeldaforlife]

I swear I've seen this in silent hill

[u/Onlyafter]

Wow imagine getting knocked overboard and having the weight of the suit and water filling into it drag you down to your certain doom.

[u/agreatbigFIYAHHH]

Bears a striking resemblance to my husbands cat-carrying hoodie, even has the little butthole window lol

[u/push1double]

Dark Souls music starts playing

[u/Original_Syba → u/push1double]

The Godskin foreskin suit

[u/Ethirius01]

Convinient xenomorph hole

[u/martymcgoo]

Was it made of an animal skin or a part of the whale?

[u/chicano32 → u/martymcgoo]

Yes. A whale’s buttshole is what we are all thinking.

[u/BrandHeck → u/martymcgoo]

It's made from Seal skin.

[u/Zorf96 → u/martymcgoo]

Sometimes whale penis, which is where we get the word "dork". 

[u/Jackle3000]

Whale Anus coats, beautiful!

[u/jbFanClubPresident]

First time I'm seeing a suit with sphincter.

[u/idkbrodie]

I can never escape tusk

[u/Guardian-Boy]

Finally, a shirt for Kuato.

[u/Pschobbert]

Whalers had kuatos?

[u/Addamall]

This was in 1834? Like in cowboy times?

[u/Ok-Environment-7970]

So it's basically a Russian space suit hey good ideas never go out of style

[u/Princess_Shireen]

You'll float, too! You'll float, too! You'll float, too!

[u/UncleTedUnderYourBed]

[u/peanutbutternjello]

Is this for putting pp in

[u/PotatoDominatrix → u/peanutbutternjello]

I mean, kinda...? If you have a pp, and get in the suit, your pp is technically inside..

[u/TheBeardedLegend]

r/dontputyourdickinthat

[u/_a_ghost__]

Butthole suit

[u/AncientOnyx]

that's a Bootyhole

[u/TurtleKing2024]

So the middle whole was the entry point with a flap behind it, the suit is made from seal leather

[u/AsunderXXV]

What is one chapped hole.

[u/RykosTatsubane]

Looks like a silent hill monster lol.
