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

    You simply cannot tell me that your diet is healthy when the aroma of your gastrointestinal tract is "death"

    I think a lot has to do with the microflora one has. The microflora can absolutely be influenced by diet but part is simply unique to the specific person. The specific bacteria one is exposed to at birth has a huge impact for the rest of your life as your immune system tends to attack bacteria that you didn't have in your first weeks of life. Taking antibiotics can also permanently alter the micro flora. I know more than one family where one specific member has horrific farts but the others don't despite basically identical diet. So it really can just be bad luck. Not everyone drinking protein shakes gets horrific farts but some do.

    He said "my usual morning protein shake", so...

    For reference, i think the people who think that's healthy also think that protein bars are healthy.
    One: maybe, in circumstances (like, starving). Usual: no.

    Protein shakes are ok although you can get your protein other ways without having to buy expensive drinks but anyway protein in and of itself is fine, but if you just drink a bunch of protein shakes but otherwise don't change your diet. That's not a diet.

    If you are on a diet and constantly feeling hungry because of it protein is a good way to make you feel full.

    I just eat some cheese which is considerably cheaper.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    "Bubble gut" leads to "Hot Snakes" and wiping a marker...

    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?"

    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.
