Why don't my shit and urine stink while they're inside me?

  They do. You just aren’t inside yourself.

  Hold on, you all don’t smell like shit too?

  Your rectum is fairly airtight is my guess, boxes not so much. Can’t believe that’s a sentence I’ve now typed.

    Otherwise we’d all constantly smell like fart. Cause a fart is just opening that hole and pushing air out.
    (… or maybe we do smell like fart constantly and just don’t know cause we don’t smell smells that constantly hit our nose)

    I think this would easily qualify for !brandnewsentence@lemmy.world

  If your body was like a shoe box you would bleed to death. put shit in a ziplock back and then a cooler and you would be hard pressed to notice a smell for days.

  Not smelling like excrement would have been a significant advantage for most of human history where we had predators hunting us and conflicts with other humans where hiding would have been a good defense tactic. Animals that do have strong scent usual are a deterrent for predators or territorial predators marking their territory.

  Your asshole isn’t just open all the time. And even then, there are a couple of gates (sphincters) that prevent a straight through passage from your bowels to the outside of your body.

    And the rest of your body is reasonably water proof and gas proof. Whatever is on one side of a membrane, is not allowed to cross to the other side. Actually, your body is working hard to keep it that way. If something is allowed to cross that border, it’s an exception and it’s highly regulated.

  They still stink if you let some air through by farting. Boxes are rarely airtight, whereas assholes are.

    *Notes* Posession of box of acetone… does NOT… make farts happen.

    • neidu3@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Possibly because I also have a small fan running inside the box

    I have shit in a box. And then I mailed it. The room stunk for a while, but after I sealed up the container it went away. It still stunk worse than a fart.

    Cologuard is wack.

      I would think a box intended for mailing a turd would be built to contain the smell.

  Sphincters and seals: they do a good job! Not fun to think about, but that’s why when someone shits their pants, or dies and voids their bowels, it’s immediately obvious.

    I heard a paramedic from a tv show says dead people cant fart because they need to be able to clench their asshole to release it, but i dont get how they can void their bowels since you pretty much need to be able to do the same thing to shit it seems

    • whimsy@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      This sounds not right? Don’t you need to unclench to release stuff?

      source
    • HubertManne@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think the whole void the bowels thing is as you die rather than after.

      They wouldn’t day because everything would be open so there’d be no pressure to shoot a fart out of. Why gasses would be slowly released as death relieves pressure on the sphincters and let’s go. I imagine because of gravity and not being alive too keep muscles and whatnot on the correct places for normal function will just let all of your shit out too. It’s not that we need pressure to let shit out, but we use pressure to get it out in one go and we do so with many “airlocks” so we only lose what we need at that time.

      This is mostly me talking out of my arse but it sounds right to me as i type it. I imagine i don’t have the specifics down but maybe the general gist?

  When you’re dead I’m sure it will be noticeable.
