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.

Pretty much that last paragraph of yours.

I don't care if people see me as childish, weird, or even dumb. I do lots of things that make me seem all of those things.

But that makes me hesitate for some reason.

I did open up about it to some friends I was sure wouldn't judge, and it helped a lot.

May i ask what kind of clothes you mean?

[โ€“] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Skirts, dresses, thigh highs, crop tops, and just generally the womens section of the clothing store. So many items there that are a lot more interesting than what the mens section has to offer.

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

It's actually a very easy way to get other people sick, unfortunately.

[โ€“] OnopordumAcanthium@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you mean by sick, like infections?

[โ€“] MORTARS@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] MORTARS@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] all-knight-party@kbin.cafe 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] MORTARS@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 year ago

I'm flattered thank you. I've enjoyed my time on lemmy immensely so far.

[โ€“] MORTARS@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 year ago

Yea they do spread by farts. I'm saying I'm not as sure about bacteria.

[โ€“] MORTARS@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 year ago

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?

As soon as you leave high school, if not before, you should be your own person. Blaming others for things you want to do isn't healthy and shouldn't be used as an excuse.
