    Show me an untrained person that can hold their breath “for several minutes”.

      I probably could if, y’know, my life depended on it.

      Me. It seems to vary a lot, but I managed to get 2 and a half minutes a few months ago. Most of the time I average about a minute though.

      Pretty much everyone can.

      Most people stop when it starts to hurt, but it takes several minutes of holding your breath before you pass out.

      Please do just like, a hair of research before saying random shit like it’s true.
