I've always supposed it's because you're trapped in there with them. But there's normally an extruder fan running, so it can't be that.

Now I'm wondering if it's because the water droplets help the fart release its flavours, like when you add a splash of water to a good whisky?

Are you sure they're just farts?
Do you find your shower blocks up a lot?

Maybe it's the heightened state of your senses due to the invigorating droplets of water stimulating nerve endings all over your body

or the contrast between clean smells and the fausty smog of death being released from a warm and constrictive tomb

1. Surely you mean better but...

But there's normally an extruder

2. If there is any 'extruding' going on then you have probably shit in the shower and need to squidge it down the plug hole.

Confined space + I think humid air makes humans more sensitive to smell

Your nose works better when it's moist on the inside, the humid conditions of a shower are perfect for maximum sensitivity. Same reason why dogs have wet noses, and why the outdoors smell more strongly after rain.

A shower fart is wasted if there is a cast iron bath within the proprerty.

I think also shower farts are worse (for me at least) due to them being an early morning experience - whole night of ripening leading to extra potency, I think

Under a shower there's quite a strong air current going upwards (hence why the shower curtain always billows inwards) so I would expect anything expelled down below is pulled straight up towards your nose rather than spreading out slowly in all directions.

That's nothing to do with upward air currents, it's because moving air has a lower pressure than stationary. See also, the GCSE explanation of how a wing works.

Your own farts always smell fantastic, so the real question is - who is farting in the OP's shower?

Erm... an air current has nothing to do with moving air?

S'okay, it's only Sunday, I normally try to avoid thinking too much as well... 🙂

Has anyone ever had a case of 'acrid roasted peanuts & burning tyres' farts?

Like, it's such a distinct warm flavour it would almost make you heave if you weren't so proud of your production.
Have had this several times in my life, still can't tie it down to a particular ingestion. My dad genuinely nearly fainted when I released in his car once. He was so angry, the hypocrite.

My shower is a 29er so it really makes my farts come alive!

"Do you ever wee in the shower?" Said the wife.
"Of course, I always do a little wee when I'm having a poo." Said I.

Old ones are the best... 😆
