What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do?
What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do?
To be fair I still do these things but only when I'm alone.
Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.
Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it's a warship I'm trying to bomb.
Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don't because they're considered femine or gay.

Farting in public. My friends got the view that it's only a natural thing to do, so when we're together we just do it without judging each other. The majority of people don't think like it, i guess most find it digusting or take it as a reason to mock you. I don't understand how we ended up like that. Guess humanity still has to grow up a little more :D

I used to find it funny and do it around friends/family, but more recently the smell has been far more disgusting to me and I have to put on an N95 or leave the room. It's unfortunate that I have a lost a source of such jollity and mirth.

This is a good one, but I think it's not all shame. Concealing farts in public is a game of skill. You must consider how to position your body so that no sound is made. How quiet is the area you're in? Are there others around who could conceal the true farter? Are you able to discreetly move to another location so that by the time the smell arrives you're no longer a suspect?
You also take into account your last eaten foods and recent farts and how they may result in large smell or sometimes no smell. It's a big game of strategy and execution to be a covert farter.

It's actually a very easy way to get other people sick, unfortunately.
-
What do you mean by sick, like infections?
-
I know viruses spread very well. Covid for instance
People get viruses like RSV + spread so much and they don't even know
-
But not by farts.. That's a bit far fetched imo

He asked a colleague to break wind directly onto two Petri dishes from a distance of 5 centimeters, first fully clothed, then with his trousers down. Then he observed what happened. Overnight, the second Petri dish sprouted visible lumps of two types of bacteria that are usually found only in the gut and on the skin. But the flatus which had passed through clothing caused no bacteria to sprout, which suggests that clothing acts as a filter.
Well I'll be damned!
Just keep your pants on I guess.

Viruses can go thru pants, for sure.

In a lengthy and seemingly humorous yet serious article on its WeChat account, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of Tongzhou district in Beijing clarified that farts, normally, do not constitute another transmission route of COVID-19, unless someone takes a good and rather close sniff of gas from a pantless patient.
Seems not.

You know what? I was arguing in bad faith. But now I know you want to fart on people.
-
This was the most hilarious discussion I've ever witnessed on the internet, especially because you guys included links and quoted the article better than another "more serious" arguments I've seen.
-
I'm flattered thank you. I've enjoyed my time on lemmy immensely so far.

Do you need a link?
Why is that more far fetched than sneezes? It's wet airborne biological matter you expel from your body.
Why do you think people's natural reaction to farts is digust? Is that something people should be breathing in? Especially in an enclosed environment with such bad ventilation you have to inhale ass exhalations?
-
Yea they do spread by farts. I'm saying I'm not as sure about bacteria.
