Number isn't what's important. What matters are volume and volume.

A pretty solid one

Sorry, 2-7 times a day??? Oh no

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 76 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm gonna reach that limit before leaving my bed in the morning.

[–] cinoreus@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

I reached the limit while reading this comment

Who the fuck farts twice a day

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

Jimmy Two Farts

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Most people fart before taking a shit. You probably don't think of it as a fart just because you're on the toilet. But it is indeed a fart.

One from 7 to 9, and one for the afternoon from 19 until 21

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

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 42 points 4 days ago (7 children)

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

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 77 points 4 days ago (9 children)

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.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

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

[–] DireTech@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago

Thank you for your contripootion.

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Bless you and long winded farts!

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fart PTSD. What a concept! Glad you survived it.

I believe the scientific term is 'cropdusting'

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I feel seen.

You want it nice and deep. A truly satisfying fart might cost you a tooth

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Where is that tooth coming from. WHERE? D:

Episodes rose gradually from morning and reached a peak between 6 pm and 10 pm

And everyone at day jobs are grateful.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

Fast increases around breakfast and after evening meal, also the app they made was called 'chart your fart'

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

I’d love to have been a fly on the wall with the panel required to approve a flatulence study that uses an app called “Chart Your Fart”

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The 8th one was def my dog.

OK so my brother was right.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Was your brother the author?

[–] tyler@programming.dev 16 points 4 days ago

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

That's just because they didn't include me, Jimmy Fartling.. They said I was an outlier and the lab hasn't stopped smelling like cabbage

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

you dont need to eat ultraprocessed, just alot eggs or cauliflour or broccoli

I drink so much carbonated stuff, I fart constantly.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Carbonation releases the C02 before the stomach.

[–] WoolyNelson@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Rookie numbers.

[–] fum@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Lies. It was self reported. I'd multiply the results by 4 at least 💩
