    I always think about how when a plane lands and it off boards its passengers that it’s also releasing air from where it came from. Probably because I’m weird.

    Also, if you smell a fart, you’re breathing in air from someone else’s colon.

      I remember a line from an ancient cracked.com article that said something like “when you fart around someone else, they now know what it smells like a foot inside of you and they’re probably not happy about that.”

      I always love when a fly gets stuck in the car before a cross country road trip. Drive for hours and hours, maybe it doesn’t escape when you get gas, and finally it exits the vehicle multiple states later. Does it blow the fly’s mind? Or is it like “welp I guess I’m in Texas now”? Do the local flies judge his funny accent?

        Right? Imagine when an insect gets stuck on a cargo boat and ends up halfway around the world.

          And sometimes ends up wrecking its new ecosystem.

      Went on a lengthy train travel in a compartment recently: 7 retired people and me. After a few hours, you know what everyone’s colon lining smells like.

      There are cabin filters though, and the plane constantly circulates air from outside. I doubt there is any air from the origin location by the time they land.
