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

[-] Barley_Man@sopuli.xyz 31 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[-] LwL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Saw a metastudy a few days ago that concluded that current research suggests that too much protein (particularly when you don't exercise) can actually be quite harmful and shorten lifespan. Though we mostly have data on rodents because studying diet long term in humans isn't easy. It also varies based on the specific type of protein.

Shits complicated but daily protein shake with a diet that also contains a bunch of protein could very well be not the best idea.

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

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 35 points 2 weeks ago

They're the ghost of ~~christmas~~ toilet future.

To pass gas is to release the souls of the consumed to be free

Evil spirits.

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 am a farter, as was my father and his father before him. My son is learning the ways of the farter tho I bemoan that he values frequency over potency.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm fartin' over here!

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 18 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

It is doable, but I also wasn’t that committed after a few days.

I gave them to a family member instead

[-] wake@quokk.au 3 points 2 weeks ago

Breakfast burritos everyday bro

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] BlaestEgnen@feddit.dk 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

My so has a brownie recipe that takes 6 eggs. A double batch of that and you're good!

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

I am not Gaston

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!"

[-] EvilFonzy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Gave 'em a dutch lift.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[-] ShankShill@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] vinyl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

shit just works indeed

[-] aamram@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 weeks ago

The moment when pros arrive and tell you "This smell is not human"

[-] 13igTyme@piefed.social 20 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Widdershins@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

This in an important feature to firegap escape routes from filling with smoke in a structure fire, but as we can see every engineering decision has trade offs.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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 😭

[-] pulsey@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Well at least they knew now that they don't have a rat problem.

[-] kikutwo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Go to Taco bell for lunch today.

well, at least the office will be cleaner and better maintained now

[-] P1k1e@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like your facilities guys are dumb as all hell. Let it air out a day before you start claiming it's dead rats ya turds

[-] JamieDub86@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lost any gerbils or hamsters in the last year or so?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] lemmygarden@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.
