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…
According to other people in this thread most people’s farts don’t smell…
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.
My understanding is that little farts tend to be smellier than big farts because the big farts are often just swallowed air, but the little farts come from the gas released when the microbes in your gut digest something (which is also why certain foods like beans can make you really gassy because you can’t digest some of the fiber in them, but the bacteria can… also a similar situation with sugar alcohols (see the devil gummy bears)).
