βFART PROUDLY: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in Schoolβ

Unless done with perfect comedic timing farts are not considered to be socially acceptable. It's been a while since I was in school but I seem to recall I would usually just excuse myself to the bathroom or try to do it when no one was around. If nothing else I would just try to let it out silently and hope no one noticed.
People used to when I was at school 15 years ago.
The key is to unevenly shift your weight (lift one side and slowly allow it out), if you are level with the seat it usually creates an airlock or whatever which will amplify the force and volume created the moment theres a pressure leak/change.
Also, before you go, lie down on your stomach and try to get yourself so your lower half is elevated the highest and relax while the gas floats to the top π Better out than in before school because then your day will be ruined from stomach pain
There were many days I had to find an empty classroom or office to plank in to clear the air, err, my stomach
Reading these comments.... I'd like to add to the discussion, that farting being 'unacceptable' is not a cultural universal, globally, and it's amusing to me how strongly some people think it is.
Need more beans.
