No, I fart louder by choice.
When you get older you lose the ability to do things quietly, such as fart, or let young people live their lives.

Can confirm I ain’t got time to hold in a fart.

Tell me about your sneezes.

William James might suggest that this is just cognitive bias.

I think the trope of ‘boomers’ etc is largely bullshit. I know plenty of old folks who are largely supportive of young people and are getting a rough deal from 20 somethings who assume they’re dicks because they don’t get really interact with them. The folks who first marched against racism and homophobia are well twilight years.

many boomers at the protests. The good ones are still around.

Not true.
Your ass gets loosers over time. Get old enough and they’re all silent but deadly.
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 day ago
Interesting.

Your ass doesn’t get looser over time unless you’re doing something to it or with it
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 day ago
Don’t poop, I guess. Especially if you hold it for 3 days.

Did some IT contracting once for an ancient miser-lich geezer. 3-piece suit in the house type fella, prolly some baron of a technology we’ve forgotten how to pronounce or some shit, lol, dude was comically old.
Blew ass just constantly and had no idea. Smiling and exchanging pleasantries? Imagine a few notes on a keyboard, an amateur noodling around - textbook, permanently fungible farts. No acknowledgement or apology.
Turning and walking across the room? A growing crescendo, with budding themes that begin to hint at the grace and mastery of the performance to come.
Reaching and lowering to a position of rest - ah, the virtuoso has now begun. May we listen, and weep.
It was a surreal experience. Like a deaf, grinning, be-suited Mongolian throat singer, if one of the otherworldly tones came from his butt.

I’ve had the opposite experience. Old people fart all the time and just don’t give a shit. Unless middle age is what you mean by “older”, in which case I agree.

I dunno, personally, I think I’ve stopped letting things work me up.
The only things that seem to get louder are my joints and back.

and young people are idiotic amoral cunts
until they grow up
do you see a pattern?
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 day ago
I’m afraid I don’t. Could you explain the pattern?

Have you gotten older? How many “older” people have you interviewed to come to this assumption?
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 day ago
I’ve not gotten older, no.

For a post about farting this is definitely a shitpost.

I never farted quietly when I was younger, I’m not about to start now!
BilboBargains@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I will concede the farting.
Cherry@piefed.social 1 day ago
TBF no one gets younger so this must apply to pretty much anyone …
SolidShake@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Not me. As I gotten older I’ve actually somehow managed to give less fucks about what other people do with their lives. Shits not my business
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 2 days ago
Just an observation, but it’s interesting you felt compelled to say something.
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 day ago
You posted a statement claiming to know how older people think - he was correcting your arrogant assumption.
essell@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I don’t see your implied contradiction here.
They said they’re not interested in other people’s shot whilst responding to a shower thought about their shit. 💁♂️
