Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind. Taking bismuth subgallate will make even your vilest poops and farts smell like absolutely nothing. In the US, it’s FDA approved for that purpose and comes in chewable tablets.
The suggested use for anyone not bothering to look this up is to deodorize gas and stool but it’s suggested use is for people with colostomy or exposed stomas where smelly gas and stool is a constantly expelled or people with chronic gas and liquid stool.
I wouldn’t want to stick any drug in my body just to stop farting in social situations. Every drug has or could have side effects even Tylenol or aspirin.
Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol is actually very dangerous. Almost surprising that it’s allowed over the counter.
Paracetamol often gets touted as being dangerous as it’s the commonest drug used in intentional overdoses, however its LD50 is around 2g/kg, meaning that a 70kg human would usually need to take about 140g to end their life. Paracetamol is usually sold in 250mg tablets, so this translates to around 560 individual tablets. Toxicity occurs at much lower levels, but this very rarely results in death.
A bigger issue is chronic paracetamol toxicity, which is caused by taking very large amounts daily for an extended period of time. This has significant detrimental effects to the liver and kidneys.
In general though, and certainly by comparison to many other drugs that are prescription-only, it’s quite a safe drug. Death only occurs in roughly 0.1% of all cases of paracetamol toxicity, there is no known risk of addiction, there are very low rates of allergic reactions, and allergic reactions that occur are only very rarely anaphylactic.
That’s why I specifically mentioned it. :)

Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.

I’m gonna try and convince my roommates to take this for my own sanitys sake
If you’re really gassy and don’t want to crop dust everyone with horrible fart stank?
Um no. Are you European or a filthy hippy? Which one?
Yeah okay let me just risk getting a black tongue and my mouth reeking of sulfur, possible hair loss and vision impairment, black stools, nahhh I’ll just be a normal stinky smart ape thanks.
Yeah I think I’ll just light a match.
You’re hanging with the wrong type of friends if you don’t chatter about who “blew up the bathroom?”
“Alright, who violated the Geneva Conventions in the bathroom now?”
- A friend of mine after another friend released a biochemical hazard on the toilet.
ON the toilet? Not in it???
He really did a number. Make sure he didn’t leave an upper decker.
I committed a hate crime in the toilet again!

Awesome, anything to help me not poop at all for 3 days?
Yes but it’s risky. The poop on the 4th day may make you have to retile your bathroom.
So you’re telling methat with just a little p, my entire pooped bathroom can be reptile? Sick
That’d be the best case.
Worst case: may need to rebuild part of your house.
Stop eating?
I carry a lighter. Burn it a bit before you leave the bathroom and it will get rid of most of the smell. I prefer this to taking some sort of medication.
💀
no, the gasses that make the smell are mostly flammable, having an open flame for a few seconds will generally reduce the concentration of these gasses to near unnoticeable levels
Correct
So that’s why Elon Musk made those scientists invent a flamethrower.

Shits on fire, yo
Just imagining their friend walking into the bathroom after they forget to unlock it, utterly shocked to find the toilet full of flaming turds
But that takes all the fun out of crop dusting my roommates and coworkers.
I save my cropdusting for the jerks that shop at Walmart. Clear the aisle and shop in peace!
While people have a point that it shouldn’t matter whether your shit stinks, I appreciate knowing about this now. 🙂

What’s wrong with the old Black Ice up the arris?
People should bask in the glory that is my gut fauna leaving behind the potpourri of my people in the bathroom.
