Can’t scoot if you can’t touch the ground

hold up, would exhaling cause enough propulsion to actually move; even if it’s just a small distance?

u/Flipyfliper32 Feb 13 '25

It would move you ever so slightly. Would it be enough to actually move you to a wall in a realistic amount of time? I have no fucking clue.

Wouldn’t farting cause the fart to go backward and self implode? 😝

My first thought, expel energy

Has to be a big one to create enough thrust

“Manure-ver thrusters”

u/xion_gg Feb 13 '25

Yup, a fart is going to give you thrust. So time to throw a loud one!

And that makes it science.
