I noticed they had the proximity boxes around the sneezer like they do for load sleepers. I wondered if that was a source of contagion for a time.  I suppose sneezing at night can cause them to interrupt the sleep of others. But I wonder if in the new update that'll be more dangerous.

You can't sneeze with your eyes open. It's to avoid potential damage to the eyes from the extreme pressure, I think.

This was tested in mythbusters and also mentioned by some doctors to be a myth, some people can keep their eyes open and with training its possible for anyone to do it, there is a film/bag/sack that covers the eye purposefully to stop it just popping out. A funny test(Warning you can rupture an artery...been there) you can do is hold your sneeze in, you build up more pressure but your eyes don't close if i remember correctly...been a while since i sneezed haha.

I thought that the white boxes were just the sound effect to show you the distance it goes, dont loud sleepers and flatulence also get this square popping up when they do their deeds.

hahahahaha...

 

A: I'm gonna do some training!

B: Woah, what kind?

A: sneezing with eyes open.

B: Uhm.. k.

 

of all the training people could do, like trying to go super saiyan or to do cool stunt. i wonder if there is actually people who train and compete to sneeze without closing eyes.

I've sort of tried that before and it isn't that hard but it's very pointless

It's actually to avoid getting the stuff you're sneezing out into your eyes.

Also, if you sneeze too hard, you can break a rib. If you hold in a sneeze, you can pop an artery. Personally, if I had the choice between a broken rib, and internal bleeding, I'd rather sneeze at my options.

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT!!

that's good to know!

so we don't have to worry about dupe that sneeze too hard or any potential dupe that try and train their sneezing technique or any further sneezing competition in the colony

[BlueLance]

Yeah i burst an artery in my nose due to several things but holding a sneeze in didnt help any either haha.

Yes, they're proximity boxes for the size of the disturbance. And they help you figure out how far you need to keep your loudsleepers from other beds. I imagine that sneezing can also wake up other dupes if done at night, which is why they also have the proximity boxes. When I first saw them with a sneezing dupe, I wondered if they were spreading something, and was a little worried.

I was the same, before i knew how bad diseases were etc when i seen it i was panicking. Then I learnt that disease pretty much does nothing right now.

Probably referring to standard anime expressions.  From that particular image, the dupe in the OP most resembles irritated, exasperated, or ignoring.
