Aren’t farts just the ghosts of the things we eat?

    I did this in an elevator at college on my way up to pick up girls for lunch. But took the stairwell on the way down while they took the elevator. I ran down to see their reaction as they got off. They looked like I did leaving the gas chamber in basic training.

    I was trying to finish a 18 eggs in a week because I needed to travel

    The level of sulfur in my farts was comparable to visiting a sulfur mine. It was absolutely brutal.

    I did not finish all 18. 18 is a lot of eggs. I am not Gaston or Cool Hand Luke.

    18 in a week sounds very doable, 3 a day isn't much and you finish in 6 days.

    Haha I love eggs but it'd be hard for me to get to 18 in a week. Maybe deviled eggs.

    That's only about 2.5 eggs per day. Cook a 3 egg omelette for breakfast for 4 days, and you've already used up a dozen. Make some egg salad for lunch a few times, and cook a few pans of brownies or cookies, and you'll burn through them easily.

    Pies, choux pastry and a roasted egg for breakfast.

    You can rack eggs up incredibly fast.

    When bored of the above, tortilla de patatas, filodough packs, quiche Lorraine, add as a side, even Ramen with a single egg in is plenty to reach 3 a day

    Between fried eggs, egg sandwiches, deviled eggs and baking, you can go through 18 quite easily no?

    I did two eggs for breakfast and a fried egg sandwich for 3 days, then just the sandwich, then omelettes, but it wasn’t enough.

    I’ve never made devils eggs, I guess I should have tried. Ended up giving them to family.

    Best line in the whole movie/musical IMO:

    "When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a barge!"

    Plant based protein powders are fantastic and more people should use them.

    Or just eat beans? On top of the protein you get a lot of fiber and a handful of other nutrients, and they are delicious!

    A 12oz protein shake can have 41g protein @ 230 calories

    To get the same from black beans you'd have to consume 2.75 cups of black beans @ 624 calories

    That's a huge chunk of your daily calorie intake + the other effects that beans will have in your intestines, no thank you

    I farted with my kid's dog under the blanket. She woke up, jumped off the bed and projectile vomited on the wall and carpet.

    Worth it.

    Fart joke my cousin told me many years ago:

    A guy goes to pick up a girl for a date. She's not ready yet, so he sits down in the living room, where her dad is reading the newspaper. Their dog wanders in and settles down by the guy's feet. Suddenly he has a powerful need to fart, but he's afraid to do it with her dad in the room. He leans to one side and lets just a little bit escape, as cautiously as he can, but it makes a small noise. The dad leans out from behind his newspaper and says, "Duke!" The dog looks up sheepishly.

    The guy is like, "Alright! He thinks it's the dog!" He leans the other way and lets out a bit more; this one's a little louder. Again the dad looks around the paper and says, "Duke!"

    Figuring he's completely safe now, the guy relaxes and lets out the rest in one big loud blast. The dad puts down the paper and says, "Duke! Get away from there before he shits all over you!"

    Related story -- at one of my jobs they had a kind of screwup trophy - a large can of Budweiser Beer and Clamato Juice. This was, and might still be, an actual product made of beer, tomato juice and clam juice. It was awarded when somebody screwed up, to be displayed proudly until someone else earned it. One Friday night the janitor accidentally knocked it on the floor, apparently cracking the seam at the rim of the can, and the entire contents slowly leaked into the carpet, where it festered all weekend.

    No doubt a delicious beverage when new, this trophy had been in use for several years and was well past its best-by date. Monday morning the whole building was like a colossal science experiment gone horribly wrong. Employees were sent home and a hazmat team suited up and went in. Once they located the problem they cut out a couple square yards of carpeting, cleaned the area, and it took all day for giant fans to clear out the stench.

    epilog: having learned their lesson, the team immediately continued the tradition with a new can.

    One time my dad farted at the store and he could not escape it. The fart followed him around the entire store.

    One time I crop dusted an aisle and it was so bad even to me I had to get out of there. It could have peeled paint off the walls. Half a minute later I heard someone rather loudly proclaim, "Oh my God! It smells like somebody shit their pants!" from the next aisle over. I wish I could remember what I ate because I had a winner that day.

    Had the same experience in a big thrift store on Maui, but in serial form. Each time I had to move to another unoccupied aisle to get away from them, and fortunately they didn't follow me around. The great thing was that it was such a noisy store I didn't have to worry about stifling the sound, I just let 'er rip.

    At my work, we have a protocol which includes eliminating farts before taking drastic measures. Basically, where is the smell, can we find the source, do sprays or fans clear it.

    Stairwells seem notoriously underventilated. Toots seem to linger excessively. Hallways with a brisk walking pace are better for difussion of the stank.

    I once was going to work and it rained or smth so my shoes had some mud, i tried my best at cleaning them before gettin in but some mud must've remained so i walked in, and after a while i had to take some documents and i had to walk on a carpet, some mud got stuck on the carpet, after some hours our boss noticed it and it looked like rat's poop (it dried down a little) so they called a company to understand where the rats were and set traps around the office and some other bs

    I probably make the company lose money and i feel very guilty cuz it was managed by only 2/3 people and we were less than 10 people 😭

    Perfect opportunity to say "Jeez, Doris, isn't that a lot of trouble to go through, just to deny you farted? He who smelt it, dealt it, y'know?"

    Farts are the ghosts of animals you have eaten.

    This includes aphids, tiny spiders, and bacteria on veggies, for those of the vegetarian or vegan persuasion.

    I was too lazy to cook dinner so I just ate 1 pound of strawberries and then I farted like 20 times in the span of an hour. Some were smellier than others.

    I had two boiled eggs in my lunch once, farted in the office and the deputy head of the department flipped her shit.

    Get the courage to admit your crime and save your company money or do the right thing and don't sacrifice a minute of comfort unnecessarily for your boss.
