Founding father Benjamin Franklin secured the alliance with France that led to victory in the Revolutionary War, negotiated the Treaty of Paris ending said war, signed the Declaration of Independence and the U.S Constitution, discovered that lightning was electrical, invented bifocal glasses, wrote the famous Poor Richard’s Almanac, and ran newspapers.

He also had some thoughts on farting.

Yeah, but let’s come up with a better term. The German term isn’t much better.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

What's the German term?

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 weeks ago

Verdauungsspaziergang, and Gehfurz

Flaftenvaften

[–] bluegreenpurplepink@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My translator is saying Flaftenvaften is a Danish term meaning, "the evening of the fluttering" lol

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 17 points 2 weeks ago

Now that's a beautiful way to put it.

Furzspaziergang? der Furzgang?

[–] Apollo98@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

It seems to be borrowed from English and is just Fart-walk? Idk, I’m not German or Austrian. https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000301098/blaehungen-nach-dem-festmahl-probieren-sie-es-mit-einem-fart-walk

Frat walk.

[–] guy_threepwood@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I always knew it as “the beef walk”

[–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The beef walk is when you walk away from company when you feel a fart coming on.

The fart walk is light exercise immediately after a meal to promote digestion.

Wait people walk for mental health, and not to crop dust their neighborhood?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Crop dusting my neighborhood is for my mental health
