The key is to unevenly shift your weight (lift one side and slowly allow it out), if you are level with the seat it usually creates an airlock or whatever which will amplify the force and volume created the moment theres a pressure leak/change.

Also, before you go, lie down on your stomach and try to get yourself so your lower half is elevated the highest and relax while the gas floats to the top 😁 Better out than in before school because then your day will be ruined from stomach pain

There were many days I had to find an empty classroom or office to plank in to clear the air, err, my stomach

Here, some educational reading

“FART PROUDLY: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School”

Unless done with perfect comedic timing farts are not considered to be socially acceptable. It's been a while since I was in school but I seem to recall I would usually just excuse myself to the bathroom or try to do it when no one was around. If nothing else I would just try to let it out silently and hope no one noticed.

People used to when I was at school 15 years ago.

People in this thread: "You can't fart in the real world, why would you in school?"

You are in school. Nothing you do socially matters. Me and the boys used to torque them stank rippers right out as loud as we could. Stink up the whole class and have a riot. Who cares? You'll never see these bozos again. Enjoy being able to fart and laugh about it while you can.

Need more beans.

Reading these comments.... I'd like to add to the discussion, that farting being 'unacceptable' is not a cultural universal, globally, and it's amusing to me how strongly some people think it is.

op is doing the lemmy no-farting challenge

Holding your farts is one of those things that goes from impossible to trivially easy with practice.

Like walking, speaking, playing a Bach fugue on the piano, doing a backflip, or memorizing your ten digit phone number, it’s one of those things that doesn’t even seem possible when you first try.

So yeah. The social norm in public school and in basically the rest of the civilized world is to hold your farts until you can release them in a bathroom, or outside. If you release them outside don’t do it immediately before coming in because it takes time for the smell to dissipate.
