How do you fart while at school? I farted so hard in my anatomy class that I burned a hole through my underwear and everyone heard me fart, my prof made us evacuate bc we were next to the lab and the other class in there was using gas and bunson burners 😭

I usually just go to the bathroom and fart, I’ve mastered the art of holding it in until I need to go use the bathroom

Ok so farts contain gas in them, some of which are more volatile (meaning they can combust) than the others. Some people produce methane in high enough concentration and volume to actually light it on fire

How does it ignite in this scenario though? 😭 static?

This person may be exaggerating about burning an actual hole through their underpants, but even static electricity isn’t strong enough to light a fart. Otherwise we’d see many such cases of people ending up in the ER for burns around the perineum during the winter months

My joints wobble, yes. I’m only 23 but I got the joints of a 50 year old. I can hear myself blink, I can hear my joints creak when I use a stethoscope, and I can feel my skull moving against my neck (all not normal btw)

It depends on the size. If it’s small enough and not too sharp, then yes. If it’s really large or is super sharp on imaging, they may use lithotripsy (basically breaking it up w sound waves) or if it’s REALLY big they might need to manually remove it

I have an acidic clam so I think it’s partially due to that. The flame didn’t ignite my ass but the prof was nervous bc I was was the back of the class (by the lab) and the divider wasn’t fully closed

Also in case you weren’t aware most places WILL give pain medication because kidney stones are one of the most painful conditions we know about

Sorry, but no. It’s not you it’s me, you did nothing wrong. I fell out of love with you a long time ago, I just didn’t have the heart to tell you. I’m sorry coffee, but energy drink makes me feel special in ways you never did

So I’d take a very objective look at the situation, and depending on the condition it may warrant looking into seeing a doctor. Say for example you’ve got blood out ur butt. Sometimes it happens for no reason. Sometimes it’s hemorrhoids. Sometimes it’s cancer. If it’s a one off or not very often, you’re probably fine. If you’ve lost weight, lost hair, feel exhausted, and it’s constant, see a doc
