Some people (not including me usually) say it's all about the journey, not the destination. Maybe that applies here.
But probably not.

A fart anywhere in the bathroom has the same affect. Boyfriend has been barred from entering the room entirely when I'm showering. His mustard ass-gas made my nose nearly jump off my face one time.

Now this thread is going places!

There is certainly evidence, and I believe this is accepted truth among the HBT forum, that getting windy in the shower with the water running and no artifical layers twixt your anatomy and the atmosphere that the old olefactory receptors definately detect a difference in the gaseous odors, both in intensity and in pungancy.
Your example points to the determining factor being simply that the shower water be running. One can safely assume the the ambient temperature and relative humidity are both altered with warm water running and thus a likely contributing factor to a fart smelling worse. I'm satisfied with that explanation for now.

Don't forget air currents in the room caused by the rising humid water, not to mention the bathroom fan sucking air out usually toward the ceiling.

Is "Threads to Nowhere" the working title for this thread? It should be titled "A case study on the effects of human gaseous emissions in a bathing environment to your olfactory senses"

Sounds like you need to conduct an experiment in the name of science, and then write a paper detailing your findings. It could potentially revolutionize the way bathrooms are designed! Imagine it; the bathroom of the future could be the CaptWalt Odor Free Designer Water Closet.

Well, as the OP, I never intended this path. But I concur. This conundrum has been plaguing mankind for way too long. It's time we put it to rest with sound science.
 
DURRRRRRRRRRRR

Showers are enclosed so the gas stays more concentrated.

Now why does some poop stink and some doesn't?
 
In support of your most recent hypothesis, it's obviously the concentration. The more smelly the dookie, the further away you want your smeller. Hence, a lower concentration. Applying the same distance/concentration constant, the
less smelly dookie would seem, well, almost non-stinky. However, moving your smeller to where the relative concentrations would be equal would result in an equally odorous encounter. Bottom line all **** stinks.

So, my good man, by your hypothesis, a dookie that in the potty stinketh not, in the shower, would reek to high heaven.


Makes sense. Forthwith, I shall desist from pooping in the shower.

Ain't science fun?
 
Lead balloon threads happen all the time. In October I was hoping that folks who did Iron Brewer Competitions, would share what the secret ingredient they were give was, how they chose to handle it, what style the chose to brew and what their recipe was. The only response I got was from someone who was in the same contest as I was, so that was no fun, I wanted to hear about other comps, and a troll, who the mods deleted the responses. But I know other folks have done Iron Brewers including the natl one. But that thread took a nose dive, too.

Just happens.


I would have replied about the Iron Brewer thing if I had seen it, as my club has been doing those since the beginning of last year. However, my club uses 3 special ingredients for each contest that must be featured in the beer: a hop variety, a malt/grain variety, and an adjunct. The upcoming one, which I won't be present for due to a business trip, is Liberty Hops, Flaked Corn, and Coriander. If I had time to work on it, I think I would have done a Classic American Pilsner for that one.
