Wtf? Do these scientists explicitly eat ultraprocessed food that becomes Portland cement in your guts and kills all the bacteria in your microbiome?

Some scientist is like "Jerry, you fart so much I wrote a research paper about it. "

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 29 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Just one, long fart per day is all you need.

I believe the scientific term is 'cropdusting'

Well. Except for No Fart November. There's a peptide for it and everything [there isn't].

I've told this story before recently, but somehow it seems vaguely apropos.

When I was a kid, I tried adding fried spam to mac and cheese.

As you can tell, my mom was very concerned about my diet, AKA, not at all, and she just let us do whatever the fuck we wanted to do.

So anyway, it was alright. It was not a meal I would repeat. But in addition to the fact that it was not very good, that night at three o'clock in the morning, my butthole woke me up.

This is not a normal occurrence in my life. In fact, in all of the years since then it has never happened again.

My butthole woke me up to let me know that it was about to open, and it opened, and exhaled one long continuous fart for what felt like two solid minutes.

There was no sound, it was completely silent, it did not rattle my cheeks. It was just a whoosh. Like my butthole had been waiting to exhale its entire life and finally got the opportunity.

At first I was like, why am I awake?

Then I was like, wow, this is a really long fart.

Then I was like, dear god, why has this fart not stopped yet?

Then I spent the remaining minute and 30 seconds of the longest fart in my entire life, absolutely flabbergasted that it was still happening. I wish I had shit the bed, I would be less traumatized.

That fart changed my life and not for the better.

Bless you and long winded farts!

[–] DireTech@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago

Thank you for your contripootion.

I think moby dick might actually have been written about a fart like this.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago

Sounds like you may have some sphincter trouble there. Too much olestra?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 9 hours ago

I drink so much carbonated stuff, I fart constantly.

[–] AceSLive@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

OK so my brother was right.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Was your brother the author?

[–] tyler@programming.dev 12 points 13 hours ago

No but he did say that my wife and I fart an incredible amount.

[–] femtek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 12 hours ago

Is this the average for non lactose intolerant people?

[–] vrek@programming.dev 3 points 12 hours ago

I reviewed the article but not the paper direct but this could be very beneficial knowledge for gi doctors. I wouldn't be surprised to see this at least nominated for a ig nobel prize.
