Currently sitting on my toilet trying to be quiet and this damn thing is making my ass sound like a brass only orchestra 🫩

    The material and shape serve the primary function. Reducing noise probably wasn’t a factor while designing it, as it doesn’t really matter.

      Idk if I’d say it doesn’t matter as blowing the butt trumpet has been an embarrassing thing for millennia but I get from an engineering standpoint it’s negligible

        Everyone farts. If you want to be embarrassed about it, that’s really on you. It’s not a problem that requires a technical solution.

        This is not correct. There is a Martin Luther qoute (around 1500) that goes something like “why don’t you burp or fart? Wasn’t the meal to your liking?” The Romans made the latrine a social gathering. The need for butt trumpet privacy is fairly recent.

            Me and my roommate in Iraq were in our 1st Seargents office getting chewed out when I farted and stopped him from speaking to glare at me. Then my roommate farted and it was baaaaad. He started speaking in tongues for a bit before relearning English and told us both to get the fuck out. That’s probably the closest I’ve come to dying for a fart.
