I was homeschooled previously with a small group of other children and we fart in class all the time.
Now I’m in public school for high school and no one is farting. I was very sheltered and public school is like a whole new world for me, so I don’t know what the norms are. I’ve been holding it in but my stomach hurts and it leaks out anyway.
I don’t understand how there are so many more people in high school and yet zero farts…
Somewhat unrelated, but I do find it funny that farts aren’t considered acceptable, but sneezes and coughs are. Like, farts have an extra barrier in the form of your clothing (assuming you’re not at a nudist colony or bathhouse) and won’t make other people sick. I guess it’s just because they’re stinky.
I vote to normalize farting with an “excuse me”, and saying “bless you” to people when they fart.
Much easier to not fart than it is not to sneeze, and sneezes don’t smell like shit.
According to other people in this thread most people’s farts don’t smell…
That’s just not true.
Well i haven’t seen a study but i don’t feel like that’s wrong. A lot of people fart without it being smelly, little innocent ones.
Of course we remember the smelly, more numerous, ones that we got when having digestive problem or big number 2.
But i feel like the nice one are way more often, and happen to lots of people. There’s even some people that let huge ones without smell, that’s always funny.
I didn’t think so either.
It’s much easier to suppress farting than the involuntary reflexes of coughing and sneezing.
Except while sneezing and coughing.
It’s evolutionary. Farts smell like shits. People and animal avoid shits (or anything emitting H2S) because it’s wired in their brain to do so.
See, I vote to say “what the fuck was that?” Or “oh just shut the fuck up” when people sneeze in public.
