It's bizarre, it's highly entertaining or provocative, so stigmatized, so strange. A great taboo in certain contexts, and not in others, where it's less than shocking. A supremely privacy-connected matter. A reputation can crumble with a fart in the wrong moment just because your gut does what it wants. The embarrassment or humor behind all of it... I really like that. Also, the science behind how diet influences bad smell. Indeed it gets even more interesting if a fart becomes a decay-based quasi-necrophile turn-on, let that sink in. All very complex issues if you really dissect it. Farts are my type of thing to muse about. Underappreciated topic. Personally, it's the type of feeling that I love and find pleasing unapologetically hehe, what a wonderful weird working body I have. I can understand why people here are indifferent about it for sure though, though if you take the intuitive route it's just so interesting to look at. I really can't get over how this is part of being human. We truly are memes.
