Unpopular opinion: toilets are perfectly shaped to make farts as loud as possible.

Usually no, but I'm dealing with cyclospora right now and I gotta say, the sounds are unpleasant.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

The screaming, right? Or is it the pleading?

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

I try and find the perfect position to make my farts resonate for maximum woyoyoyo effect.

[–] dregan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I feel like this is a measurable fact rather than an opinion.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I moan as I smear my feces on the stall walls. don't tempt me to take it further...

Man, I used to teach and it was a shared bathroom between faculty and students.

No student could ever know I poop. It was a difficult facade to maintain.

My father taught for 4 decades and took immense pride in ripping farts in the hallway as loud as possible between classes.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Nope. At some point you gotta accept your farts.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

It depends on the context. If I'm home alone I'm likely to be somewhere around relieved to neutral to laughter, because sometimes I find it impossible to be mature about it.

Making such noises in public is a different matter. Embarrassment, first or second hand, would tend to override any and all other reactions.

Also, the fear of what I might be about to breathe in after other people's.

I get embarrassed when I’m pooing in a public stall and I fart really loud and then .. start giggling. I’m a grown ass man for crying out loud!!!

[–] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

that awkward moment when a person you know (not friend otherwise i'd hold or gtfo to next floor) and you walk in and you both need to poop. .The restroom only has 2 toilet stalls side by side..

So what you do? If its a crowded place where many people come in and use the restroom then youre ok: you hope for the sound of people talking + water faucet sound to "suppress" your fart sound. .

What if it is not crowded? Well shit, then we are in a tugg of war. I just hope the initial noise is not loud.

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yes. We must be ashamed of our filth and all things we do without wearing pants and cower from the glare of God lest he drown us like all the others.

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I let that shit rip. You're in a bathroom, grow up.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Depends where the noises happen.
