::There is a way to hide disturbing things on Misplaced Pages by hiding certain images. See ]. I don't know if the image at the beginning qualities as a bad image. You can also hide all images if you want. ] (]) 00:25, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
:Catholicism is not a race, it's a religion. Also, there are no laws in the US making it illegal to make offensive depictions of Catholicism -- and I'm not sure there are such laws anywhere else. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the picture isn't tasteless. I'm just saying you have no basis to sue that I know of.

::I am glad that the picture has not been removed, and it is not simply because WP should not be reacting to unfounded and religious threats (what is the difference between this threat and threats done by other religious fanatics?). My claim for this picture to stay is on its historical value. How often do you see cultural elements of the past, hidden for too long from most mainstream histories, which represent the daily lives of people in this way? Now, to make it more balanced, it would be complete with a similar picture, referring to flatulence, but pro-Catholic. ] (]) 04:28, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

::it is a contempt of religion when - through a summary and gratuitous judgment - you manifest an attitude of contempt towards the Catholic religion, disavowing the institution and its essential components (dogmas and rites) the reasons of value and merit recognized by the community, and becomes a mere offense for its own sake.

== Aerophagia is considered a rare cause of flatulence ==

This article was plain wrong when it states that nitrogen and environmental air are the greatest components of flatus. 74% of the volume of flatus (when expelled from the anus) is intra-lumenal, not swallowed. In normal subjects, virtually all swallowed air is expelled by eructation, and does not move through the gut. It is most misleading when it discusses aerophagia as the leading cause of flatulence.

== Augustine quote ==
{{edit semi-protected|answered=yes}}
I checked the Augustine quote. He is not saying people lost the farting ability because of the sin of Adam and Eve. He clearly states that as we can see people are very differently constituted and there are those who can control their farting to make a singing noise.

If humans lost the power to do that because of Adam and Eve, why is Augustine addressing the phenomenon in his present tense and indicating it as an observable phenomenon that "we've all seen." The jack-off who added the material about losing the ability because of eating the fruit in the Garden of Eden is just twisting the text to make it sound more ridiculous than it is. This hardly advances knowledge to lie about ancient text content for a cheap laugh. That's lowbrow humour, equivalent to a fart joke. In fact, it is a fart joke, but also poor scholarship.

Hi, I would like there to be a section about the legal implications of discretely smelling someone else’s farts (like, would it be grounds for a restraining order or maybe criminal charges?). I think the section should also cover whether or not it is legal in various countries to fart on someone else. I have tried to ask about this at the reference desk, but I was reverted. Thanks. ] (]) 16:54, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Either remove “trumping” from § Terminology or add a source. I have never heard of this usage, it’s not in my OAD (closest is “a trumpet or trumpet blast”), Trumping redirects to a page about playing cards, and there’s an unsanswered post on here that challenged it last year. 67.14.236.50 (talk) 04:04, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

It's me again. :) I can see why you'd think this might be a joke. Whilst the slang term isn't used in the US, in the British Isles, it is actually the most common (non-vulgar) way to refer to flatulence and therefore most common among children and the middle classes. Every dictionary I own includes extensive entry on this usage over centuries (Collins, Oxford, Chambers, COBUILD). Would you conisder a reference to one of those adequate to demonstrate common usage?

Religion:

The Pythagoreans didn't eat faba beans due to the flatulence they cause according to Cicero:

Plato therefore encourages people to go to sleep with their bodies thus disposed that there be nothing which could introduce any wandering from or disturbance of sleep. From which it is thought that the Pythagoreans prohibited the consumption of beans, because that food causes a great flatulence which is contrary to the tranquility of a mind seeking the truth.
