No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Wash your ass crack well and often. If it's smelling, you aren't cleaning it often enough. If it's leaking, see a doctor.
Don't know why you'd think a clothes washer wouldn't do the job it's intended to do. If your clothes are coming out of the wash dirty, that's a different problem.
Have you ever tried washing exercise clothes? The smell persists.
Farting is normal, and i assume that with the gas escaping, little poop aerosols come out too. Not something any doctor can help with. It's just part of being human.
My exercise clothes come out the wash as fresh as a daisy, and they have been through a lot and get washed at 30C.
Maybe that is a difference -- i usually wash them as cold as possible to try to make them last longer. I could try washing them on a warmer setting.
It also makes a big difference if you wash them right away vs if you wait a day or two
Thank you for actual advice. It seems like at much of this thread is missing the point of No stupid questions.
...
If you can smell a fart, you are smelling poop aerosols.
Not necessarily, gasses smell too.
I hadn't considered this! So when you poop in the toilet, the bad smell is partially from gases, not entirely from airborne poop particles?
I'm also really sketched out about how belly button lint is from underwear, but i guess that's off the topic.
Definitely partly from the gaseous byproducts of digestion, yes.
Also poop aerosols, but not exclusively.
That makes a lot of sense. I searched and found a good article on the subject: https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/48224/20240117/why-poop-smell-bad-science-behind-unpleasant-odor-stool.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skatole?wprov=sfla1 (this is a volatile, airborne chemical)
This is from the Wikipedia article on human feces. Did not link it because content advisory: pictures of human feces. According to this, it is mostly volatile organic compounds, and I'm not seeing anything about smell aerosols.
Ok, this is really weird. According to the flatus page, it implies that some people have complete voluntary control of their gas releases...?? It doesn't come as a surprise to them??
The odor is from sulphide gases.
Sulfide gas smells different, more like rotten eggs.
Farts smell like poop.
