Unpopular opinion: toilets are perfectly shaped to make farts as loud as possible.
I feel like no longer caring if strangers can hear you poop is a big part of growing up. Not to say I’ve reached that point.
In the bathroom, no. Outside the bathroom, yes.
Not even a little.
shouldn’t this be in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world ? :P
I mean I try not to in public but if someone else does it, it just about makes my day, farts are so funny
In public, the sounds are funny, the smells are not. In private, you do you.
Lol, I can usually escape public bathrooms quickly enough to not need to put up with much smell, but you’re not wrong either!
No, I’m never embarrassed by my singing.
Assapella rendition of hit songs?
No, the sound of a bath being filled doesn’t bother me.
Unpopular opinion: toilets are perfectly shaped to make farts as loud as possible.
Not an unpopular opinion but a scientific analysis of the toilet geometry.
Unfortunately in engineering the toiler, we had to decide whether to A) let the poop and pee be carried away easy, with the down-side of big echo, or B) Have no big echo, but the poop and pee isn’t taken away easily. Now in most engineered products, we would find some sort of balance between the two, but obviously that wasn’t appropriate here.
as for your question, i used to but now i don’t. Worrying about that stuff just holds you back. I’m on that thing hunched over clutching my stomach screaming out “oh god… OH GOD it’s unbearable, I’m dying!!” Just to assert dominance.
it helps that public bathrooms stalls are (usually) not see-thru so with the right timing you can be completely anonymous. It’s elegant, like a masked ball.
Yes. I wonder, though, why? What conditioned me this way? Also, in some societies, such as Japan, concealing toilet sounds is encrouaged by those otohime devices in public bathrooms.
Interesting that the wiki says it’s only for women’s restrooms.
Also funny that some women just really need the real thing, the sound box isn’t good enough. Never mind the public toilet spraying your nethers with flush water while you do your business. I guess the bidet helps with some of that.
Well, drawing from feminist theory, it’s all about men being allowed to be rough, dirty, filthy, smelly, loud, taking up space (physical, emotional, whathaveyou), careless, inconsiderate, dominant, whathaveyou without losing legitimacy as real men. Women, on the other hand, especially in Japan but really in any current human society, are forced to be feminine (as per patriarchal norms, the makeup industry’s standards, heterosexual men’s sexual desires, whathaveyou) or else risk losing legitimacy as real women. After all, girls don’t poop.
Edit/link description: search results on duckduckgo for “girls don’t poop”, with the purpose of sarcastically pointing to some ridiculous Reddit conversations, memes and jokes that “process” or reflect women’s lack of right to self-governance and dignity.
If I hear someone on the phone in a public restroom I try to rip ass as loud as possible.
I’m not stuck in here with you, you’re stuck in here with me.
Someone did that at a supermarket bathroom I was in!
The guy was yapping away on his phone. I was washing my hands being annoyed. And suddenly, one guy said, “Fuck it!” And just blasted a massive fart shit.
The guy on the phone went silent. And I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off.
Yup. Bringing normal sounds into the bathroom is just as bad as bringing bathroom sounds into a normal room
I try and find the perfect position to make my farts resonate for maximum woyoyoyo effect.
No, that’s how I assert dominance.
Let it rip
No, because I deploy The Cough of Obfuscation!
I think the, uh, acoustics, are mostly a necessary evil. The bowl has to accommodate a ton of water splashing around without going everywhere, and ideally also not go out of its way to trap any doodoo. That can’t just be any old shape.
