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.

Burping and farting tiny, but if we're talking gasses and changing weight, the vast majority of the mass you lose from fat when you lose weight actually comes out in your breath.
OP's concept seemed to be about buoyancy. In the same way that a hot air balloon weighs more when it releases hot gas, so too should a human weigh more when they release hot gas. So the question comes down to, is the decrease of buoyancy force more or less than the weight of the ejected gas molecules?
Well it depends on the pressure the gases are being kept under. Higher pressure and you gain buoyancy. Low pressure and you lose it.
Meaningless? I don't know mate, I always feel lighter after a good fart.
Damn, bro came with receipts! But think about it, OP... if you expel even a tiny bt of something, you will have lost it.
This fella farts the facts! 👍
Did you ask this just to setup your reply??
Either way, brilliant.
Maybe..
Happy Fart Day!
First one to record themselves farting so hard the scale changes, wins!
For weight loss purposes, you actually lose the weight by breathing. O2 in C02 out. You're constantly shedding carbon. Does breath count as warm gaseous emissions?
Does the warm carbon dioxide and other warm gaseous compounds sink or float?
Methane is lighter than air
