Dems don’t like the “S” word.

They are too afraid of being labeled with it to ever hammer reps over its benefits as Maher suggests they should.

And truth be told most mainstream dems don’t like most socialist programs any better than reps do.

That’s why they shut out Bernie’s wing of the party. Some of them are now embracing certain aspects of Bernie’s agenda like single payer only because of his popularity among the next generation of voters.

But any current or future politico that espouses even a socialist-lite platform like Bernie’s will always be marginalized by the dems.

Donald is unhappy with his performance last week?

I feel sorry for whoever lines up over him this week.

I’ll mainly watch the Vikings/Niners but will also keep an eye on the Giants/Jags to see how Saquon Barkley does in his debut.

Nike invites Colin Kaepernick to a #JustDoIt campaign & The New Yorker invites Steve Bannon to its festival.

Welcome to America 2018 – jocks fight for social justice, libs coddle white supremacists, conservatives defend Russia & the most progressive candidate is named Nixon.

What’s not to like, Jack? You have the Rams winning the Super Bowl.

I happy to say that I think that’s a real possibility.

I'd watch this though… pic.twitter.com/ZuPk4zP2WJ

All I’m saying is that when he inhales deeply when entering a restroom after a stranger has had a bowel movement as he is wont to do, technically what he is smelling is not poop particles, but the gaseous eminations of coliform bacteria that live in and comprise the poop.

It’s a small but important distinction.

==================

Well again, Isnt the correct answer that Zooey is smelling gaseous eminations of coliform bacteria AND he is also inhaling airborne shit particles from various men?

Isnt it fair to say that after visits to mens rooms, zooey is full of shit particles and gaseous eminations?

Yes, that would be fair to say.

Of course, in zooey’s obsession with the idea of inhaling fecal material, he overlooked one thing.

You hinted at it in a post earlier in the thread.

Fecal particles are going into his mouth too.

And if zooey’s the mouth breather we suspect him to be, then the amount entering his oral cavity is probably an order of magnitude higher than what he’s inhaling up nose every time he enters a restroom.

And it’s been going on for years – fecal bacteria coating his mucus membranes, combining with his own tissues, co-opting their function, altering more and more of zooey’s physiology to serve their own purposes….

I’m afraid Zooey’s more feces than man at this point.

As we have discussed before, there is a “toilet plume” effect when you flush. Shit and piss particles do get ejected from the toilet.

Despite all the evidence there are still many “toilet plume deniers” in the republican party. Though some of them admit that it exists but think its a natural effect, sent by God.

“…Toilet plume sounds like it should be the most popular DIY trend on Pinterest. Adorn that plain ol’ toilet with a collection of decorative feathers for an elevated pooping experience! Unfortunately, the actual definition of toilet plume is far less delightful.

Toilet plume is a term for what happens when the force of flushing sprays microscopic particles of pee, poop, and whatever else is in the bowl into the air. “‘[This plume] is easily transmitted in a wide range of air space when you flush the toilet,” Kelly Reynolds, Ph.D., an associate professor of environmental and occupational health at the University of Arizona who has studied toilet plume, tells SELF.

Unfortunately there’s not a wealth of research about exactly how far toilet plume can reach. One 2005 study in the Journal of Applied Microbiology found that microorganisms reached a vertical height of 2.7 feet after a toilet was flushed, but other information is scant. In general, Reynolds says the microbiology community’s consensus is that the spray can reach around six feet away from the toilet. That’s by no means a proven number, and a lot more research needs to be done to cement just how far toilet plume can go…

…So, what does science have to say about whether toilet plume can make you sick? A 2015 review published in the American Journal of Infection Control analyzed various small studies in which researchers purposefully put certain pathogens in a toilet, flushed, and then monitored how far they went and how long they lingered. The kinds of bacteria they included can often be found in the human intestines, then come out in poop or vomit and make you sick when ingested.

One study found that E. coli, which can cause diarrhea and vomiting, lingered in the air for up to four to six hours after flushing. Another determined that salmonella, which can cause similar symptoms, lingered in the toilet bowl for 50 days after it was put in there, got aerosolized every time people flushed, and contaminated surfaces like the toilet flusher and door handle. Still another found that Clostridium difficile, which can cause fever, diarrhea, stomach pain, or even a life-threatening infection, hung out in the air above the toilet for up to 90 minutes after flushing.

This all sounds disgusting and terrifying and….
“

Well, ok, but I took his question as being what’s causing the smell. That poop smell isn’t caused by inhaling the airborne bacteria from the toilet plume, it’s caused by the lingering metabolic gases released by the bacteria that are found in the poop. The sense of smell happens on the molecular level, and there is no poop molecule. What you smell is the gases produced by bacteria that are in the poop.
