if you could abolish farting, would you?

Implying that we all explode in about a day or two? Or are you arguing absorption or...

I think I can guess how my wife would vote on this.

xxp just that magically, we would not need to expel gas anymore.

personally i think fart humor is worth the continued existence of farts, so no, i would not.

it's a bit comforting knowing for the most part we all have to do it.

I think excretory functions in general are a net positive for reminding us that we live inside material bodies that take things in from the environment and process them in various ways. We're just little factories made of meat. Embrace the physicality.

the early 19th century farterists movement never really got a grip on how wet farts were going to become by the 21st century

my six year old likes to whisper "i've got something really important to tell you" in my ear then drop a really loud one

but, on the whole:

farts = classic

getting older and my ageing digestion causing me to fart more often = dud

absurd to answer this seriously, but since you specifically mentioned animals I have to say that it would be damn helpful to the planet if cows stopped farting

At least once a day I am ‘treated’ to a room-clearing whippet fart. I don’t know how he manages it!

sanctimony aside, I'd still vote yes

Both ends of a cow produce methane, but 97% of all the methane gas from a cow is released by belching rather than farting, according to the U.S. Dairy Council and the National Aeronautic and Space Administration.

I would abolish all of YOUR farts, mine are like manna from heaven

lol I did not know that Kim thanks

though wait a minute..."according to the U.S. Dairy Council and the National Aeronautic and Space Administration" wut?

Quote pulled from here (not the greatest source, admittedly):
Cow farts are bad for Earth, but cow burps are worse. New plan could help cows belch less.

anyone who has been in a decades spanning relationship who is still prissy about interspatial botty burps must be Victorian mom/dad

No way. The meme about the satisfaction of farting away a tummy ache is highly relatable.

Is there an option for my work requires me to disable/avoid it as much as possible ?

Oops that was a post for the AI thread

hahah

A+

AI farts, the new fad among the teens.

ive seen a meme lately which is like (maybe im butchering it a bit) a fart is just a notification for a poop which idk is strictly true but its a decently good meme regardless imo

I asked my wife once if she would give up a pinky toe in exchange for never having to use the bathroom again with no ill effects. She was horrified at the notion but I would do it in a second.

i like using the bathroom

it's....all we have left

lmao

Booming post imo

On the bus home rb and literally just passed...

a graffiti tag on a wall saying 'I farted in yoga'

Farting classic
Sharting dud

"Never trust a fart after 50," as they say.

so true.. you gotta release them slowly

Where's erstwhile ilxor "I like to fart and I am crazy" on this subject

If I was a farter
But then again

Would only accept the pro-fart contingent's stance if instead of magically eliminating farts we magically eliminated any taboo against farting in public, as it stands I don't think the comedy or philosophical knowledge of bodyhood make up for the negatives. Plus there's the smell, I've been to a few concerts where it got truly unpleasant.

oh totes, but mostly because bathroom breaks interrupt what i'm doing. they're inconvenient. farts, on the other hand, no, i'd never give those up. you can take my farts over my dead, smelly body.

problem with giving up a pinky is that i _already_ have a tendency to fall over. losing a toe wouldn't help.

my stepfather laments that his body only ever produces gentle silent airy farts. he never once got the opportunity to rip a fat one. he’s jealous of people who can, says “it must feel so good”

some exquisite double posts itt *chef's fart*

would be weird to explain fart jokes to young people who have only lived in a fartless world

Farts are great but I do wish I could take a shit without stinking up the entire world for 15 minutes afterward. I take my first coffee of the day in the shop around the corner just to save my bf and my dog from my morning stenches

not sure how this will sway the vote
