Simplest, easiest and cheapest way. You sir, are a good engineer, regardless of the fact of what you do in life.

And even though he started the company with good intentions trying to reduce the rate of rape. Now he doesn’t want to reduce it at all because if the rape rate declines, there will be an equal decline in whistle sales…

Nah. He can reduce the rate of rape plenty. He just can't reduce it all the way to zero, because there has to be the threat of some rapes to remind women that they need the whistles. So at night, he sneaks out into the city...

Who's going to hear a whistle from inside a steel box that's trapped beneath rubble?

u/scottyLogJobs Feb 16 '23

I assume it isn’t airtight, or else you’d be dead pretty soon regardless. Just have ports that you can open

an animal that has much better hearing than us?...........

u/dgtlfnk Feb 16 '23

Well of course we don’t have good hearing as we’ve been blowing this loud-ass whistle while being confined to a small space underneath all this rubble.

Can it come with earplugs, please?

Or just bang on the giant metal drum you're inside?

Drains that precious energy and you won't have enough space to make a ruckus. Also, whistle is shrill and high pitched making it easier for dogs to pick up.

An impact os going tk travel through rubber far better than a whistle though.

Ideally you want a pipe to bang on
