Why isn't anyone farting in school? (self.asklemmy)

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...

Depending on the chair and how you position your butt cheeks, you can sometimes sneak out a fart silently.

The sound is not the issue. I haven't smelled anyone farting.

Do you think they everybody's flatulence smells bad or even noticeable all the time? This is not the case.

If yours is particularly bad and common enough that you're finding it to be an issue, you may need to address your diet, and perhaps check to see if you're lactose intolerant too, just to be on the safe side.

Ok, thank you.

Yup, 90% of mine dont smell since it's just air I swallowed because of my cpap.

Air that passes through your gut picks up odors

If they smell that means you need to shit. Or you have a diet brewing that all up.

If your farts smell, it means they came from inside your butt.

If your farts don’t smell, it means your sense of smell sucks and you’re in denial.
