My life is full of fun actually, just trying to have a light forum chat darling. You don’t sound very thrilling either

I'm an adult . I don't find farts remotely funny. If that makes me not " very thrilling" I'm proud of the fact.

I find them funny.

I just never, ever admit to them produce them, so am unable to comment sorry op😇.

I'm so glad you asked. When I was unable to sleep a few nights ago I was tempted to ask the very same question 🤣

Dollymylove · 08/01/2026 18:41

I'm waiting for the "I don't fart" brigade to join the thread 🤣

These prevent fart odour...apparently 😂.

Though I think they come with a warning of gas poisoning on removal?

Yes of course I like my own. I call them love puffs.

I mean; its weirdly satisfying - but I wouldn't buy a candle that smells like them!

I wish we still had the 🤣 emoji!

Everyone likes their own brand :)

My dps were weirdly uptight about farts, which passed down to me and I was determined not to make farts weird for my dc...unfortunately this has resulted in them farting with gay abandon, cupcaking being the latest fad....

I find a bath fart to be the most satisfying, and bizarrely fragrant 🤷🏻‍♀️

(Blue) cheese puffs is probably more accurate.

I can’t stand bad smells and I get mortally offended when someone farts in my presence 🤢😂 especially the dog - her farts are absolutely howling!

Garroty · 08/01/2026 18:53

I definitely once read someone saying that farts are like children - your own are surprisingly rather lovely and remind you of yourself. Other people's, however, are the pits 😂

Someone in my family (wasn't me I swear) dumped a partner because they farted in their car just after it had been valeted. It might have been a last straw kind of thing, but it was definitely the trigger for the break-up, so you are not alone.

Totally normally, I have about 10 different smells that I put into a smell hierarchy.

Overtheatlantic · 08/01/2026 18:55

Only the ones in the bathtub. 🌹

ButtCheeks · 08/01/2026 18:57

I wish I did love the smell of my own farts—since being in my 40s I feel like that’s all I do 😆

ShesTheAlbatross · 08/01/2026 18:58

I think “like” is a bit much. But I would definitely say that other people’s smell worse to me.

Me too! I know when to pull back on certain foods when the Category A fart smell appears

OK, that post was just begging for a request for you to elaborate on that ...
