Naah for some reason I find it incredibly disgusting. Instead, I scream till it gets out.

one at a time for maximum delta-P
Found the engineer
and also, actually make sure you empty each one
a lot of people seem to just blow and wiggle around like it's magic
Fun fact, your body uses only one nostril at a time and closes the other.
It switches throughout the day and keeps nostrils moists.
That is a great fun fact
Now I wonder how many of you put your fingers under your nose while breathing to double check.
I'm learning that there are people who blow their nose with both nostrils at the same time.
This feels like when I discovered that there are people who wipe their butts from behind.
dear god, how else do you wipe your butt?
Does... Does this person reach through the legs from the front?
That's how I do it! While still sitting down of course. I used to do it the other way standing up but find this easier and works better
Ahahaha I'm the exact opposite, used to wipe sitting down back to front like you and switched to standing up front to back because it was easier
I'm sorry but what is wrong with you.
Standing? Aren't you worried about poop chunks falling everywhere?
That's weird. You're weird.
Yeah but you basically said the same thing to someone who does the opposite so I'm just going to assume your strategy is to not wipe at all, which is weird
No, standing is weird and wiping back to front is weird.

One at the time.
I can't blow my nose at all. Some weird mental block. I sniffle incessantly and drive everyone nuts instead.
can you exhale hard out while your mouth is shut?
Right? How does this person find things mildly amusing without blowing air through their nose?
Both at once like a turbo engine. My sinuses are huge due to a lifetime of allergies
One at a time. I also can focus the energy on either the more front of the nose or the back of the nose towards the throat. I wish I could explain how but I cannot and it would be good if my kids could do it because it can help a lot.
Both
Both at once, hard enough to shoot boogers right through the tissue with a satisfying thwack. Bonus points if the neighbors move out because of the noise
Both
Rapid vacillation between the two.
I donβt really blow it, I just pick and flick
Very carefully.
First right, then left. Very gentle, as overpressure is bad.
One at a time. Cant get enough pressure to do both at once.
Depends on what is clogged
Draw as hard as i can so it all goes to mouth and spit it out. I thought that's the only way :D
Snot rockets, marathoner style.
