Sounds like the walking is the real positive impact. Farting is just a fun aside.

Walking is an underestimated form of exercise and farts are often hilarious.

But both can also be disastrous. You could misstep and roll an ankle, or a fart could end up with more substance than expected.

Be careful out there fart walkers.

But without the first pioneers, how would we know the risks? I salute you, fart walking astronauts! You took the risks and paved the way so we don't have to fear. I mean, we're still going to check for skid marks but someone has to go there first.

Fart-space-walking really sounds like a terrible idea. Unless they have some sort of charcoal filtered undies up there.

You gotta think like NASA: Store the farts and use them as propulsion!

Crop dusting your annoying coworkers on your way out of the office has proven mental health benefits

If you're not saving up to hit crowded elevators, are you even trying?

Yeah I was about to say, this is just the 2024 tiktok-dumbified version of "walking is healthy, surprise surprise".

Why, whatever do you mean?

So it’s obviously the high fiber diet and exercise, right? People see that, right? There’s nothing special about farting while you walk.

The article spells this all out. It's just to jump start the digestion process. It's called a fart walk because it's a catchy name and more likely to be talked about.

Yeah I read the article it just didn’t seem like everyone got it ya know?

Isn't this also what is called "crop dusting"? (English is not my first language)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Crop dusting is when you fart near a person or persons and leave, so potentially, yes.
