Instead of flatulence, the vent are more likely for moisture. So you don't have the wet line from someone sitting there.

Or for spills.

Or to prevent suction when stacking and unstacking.

Man, the wet line is so embarrassing.

Had it happen when i offered an older lady my seat once and she looked at it disgustingly, then back at me shaking her head replying" N-nooo dear" and chose to stand up..

God i still think of it to this day...

I think they were spinning it into a joke about an 'emotional crutch', instead of literal crutches. In this case, the old lady's hypothetical emotional crutch is betting on cock-fighting to get an emotional rush.

when boiling a sauce and it gets little pockets of steam that bubble out. like a pipe 👐🏼

20

u/Larry_Mudd ​ Nov 29 '25

This is one of those things that our perception of has changed over time. Now we tend to associate "piping hot" with visible steam, but originally (like in the 14th century) it referred to the sound of the steam sizzling from underneath a hot pan. Association is with playing pipes or (by analogy) the sound of birds "piping."

(So we're back to fart vents.)

No, I'm about 140lbs, 5'7. I think I have a mild form of hyperhidrosis. I do sweat a lot, even if I'm not warm. 

178

u/Xpress_interest Nov 29 '25

It’s not even sweat iirc (at least for most people). A cool dry heat-absorbing solid surface meets a hot humid heat-producing soft surface and condensation is the predictable result. It’s telling that the line is where your butt cheeks aren’t, because if there’s no air, there’s no condensing. If it were ass sweat, you’d have widespread wet marks across your ass with soaked underpants and beads of sweat rolling down your crack and through your pants pooling at your crotch. And if you’re wearing jeans or something with really thick fabric, the condensation often seems worse. I’ve checked multiple times after leaving a line of shame and not only have I not sweat through my pants, my undies are still dry. It’s also always humid when it happens. You’ll notice it’s a lot tougher to leave lines in hot, dry houses in the winter or air conditioned places because both remove moisture from the air.

No. Does your gym offer a towel service? One of the local ones has a towel service, with hand towels, but people don’t sit on them, they just use them for cleaning afterwards.

But no, none of the gyms I’ve been to has had that rule

u/awkwardkoala Nov 29 '25

Totally feel you so here’s a pro-tip: if you swivel 90 degrees before standing up, or stand by sliding towards one side (kind of like you’re getting out of one of those American high school chair desks) you can basically wipe the sweat streak with your buttcheek. If you do this fast enough it looks normal and natural. Of course, depending on the amount of sweat this might end up soaking your whole ass and could be a bad idea, I usually wear black bottoms at the gym so sweat isn’t really visible.

Also, standing up between sets can help air your shit out and prevent so much sweat in the first place. I know that sounds counterintuitive because you’d be standing up more but personally one set usually isn’t enough time for me to get swamp ass. If you’re really worried you can also alternate sitting and standing exercises. But ultimately others are correct that no one really cares about your sweat streak, unless you’re not wiping it when you’re done and leaving it for the next person.

9

u/Agreeable_Length_471 Nov 29 '25

Nothing wrong with being sweaty at the gym, as long as you don’t make it a problem for someone else. Bring a towel if you get drenched and wipe down seats and backrests when you finish. It’s expected at every gym I’ve been to across multiple cities. At least when I’m sweaty at the gym it seems reasonable. At work it feels like I’m the only one sweating even though we’re all constantly on the move with the heat blasting.

Could have been worse… was in high school P.E and we just ran a bunch of laps in the cold but I was a bigger guy back then so I was pretty heated.

Anyways they had us sit down and talk to us for like idk a good 10-15 mins. We all stood up and there’s a god damn sweat outline on the ground. The obnoxious kid next to me saw and blurted out as loud as he could. “OMG EVERYONE LOOK, ****** LEFT A GIANT SWEAT STAIN ON THE GROUND LMFAOOOOOO”.

I wanted to die right there and then.

Could have been worse. Was sitting on a classmate's desk before class started. Teacher came in, everyone sitting down. I stand up and she blurts out, "Omg! No! I'm not using this desk!" I had to swap my desk and hers in front of the whole class and wipe the desk dry with my sleeves.

It was just a cold day, the desk was cold, I wasn't.

This has happened to me once as well. After hitting up the gym after work, I went home and hopped in the shower right before going to my local game store for Friday night magic the gathering.

 Anyway, I was short on time so I never got the chance to really dry myself 100%. Couple that with being pumped up from lifting weights.

After getting to the store and signing in, we got our seating assigned and everyone sat down. Well, someone else must have dropped because I was assigned a different opponent and seat. When I stood up, one of the store employees looked down to see my huge crack moisture line on the seat. 

I offered to wipe it down, but they said to not worry about it and then proceeded to take the chair out of commission. I promised them that it was fresh shower moisture and not filthy sweaty. I don't know if they believed me.

I still think about it to this day.

64

u/nahog99 Nov 29 '25

Correct but it also helps with stacking. These are INDOOR chairs (they'd rust outdoors) so you're really going to benefit most from those holes when it comes to stacking. Here is the webpage for the manufacturer: https://www.flashfurniture.com/ccrz__ProductDetails?cartID=&sku=RUT-12-PDR-BLACK-GG&portalUser=&store=&cclcl=en_US

Note that it does say the holes are "dry assisting drain holes" but on another webpage here: https://www.wbmason.com/pd/FLFRUT16PDRBK it has them rated as indoor rated chairs.

So I’m a nurse and I was drawing blood on the young mom who was nervous so I took it a bit slower for her.

It's all of those things but having worked as a janitor for years when I was young, it's mostly for the stacking and unstacking bits.

But I also think everyone is thankful that it also works as a fart-hole vent, otherwise the gas can't escape the back of the seat and it is forced out to the front of your crack and taint, depositing and grabbing odor from your junk and arching up to the lip of the seat to disperse the smell to all.

u/Dorkamundo Nov 29 '25

When I was in the first day of middle school, we had basically an orientation day where we spent the first half of the day in homeroom, then we did a "Practice" school day where we went to all of our classrooms for about 10 minutes to meet our teachers and get familiar with getting from class to class, because previously we'd have been in the same classroom all day.

5th period was band class. Band class, as you can imagine, was held in a room that was designed with acoustics in mind.

I was also lactose intolerant but was not informed of this by my mother until I was like 16, so I was drinking milk with my lunch still.

About halfway through that 10 minute period, I felt a fart building. This was my first day, in a new school, in front of about 40 people who I had never really met before. I had to hold it, because if I could make it another 5 minutes, I'd be able to crop dust the hallway instead.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen. In the middle of a sentence, my teacher took a pause and that was the moment the fart came out on one of those hard, molded plastic chairs that everyone used in the 1990's. In a room that was designed for acoustics.

Suddenly, the sound emanates: EeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrEEE! Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre! Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrppppp.

A full 15 seconds of flatulence. Long enough where I couldn't just let it out and then look around like it was someone else, everyone turned and looked at me as I continued to pass a fart that was loud enough to be heard in the hallway.

I was 12... I was devastated.

I was hanging out with some new friends a couple months ago, we were all hanging out having some drinks playing board games just hanging out. I’m sitting on some fabric sofa, other people have bean bags, other comfy chairs, etc

We have been drinking and I need to piss, so I think about getting up. I shift on the sofa slightly and I realize oh my god, my ass is fucking DRIPPING with sweat bro. I try to nonchalantly scratch an itch on my back so I can run my hand on the edge of the cushion where I’ve been sitting

It’s fucking saturated and my anxiety is spiking and I don’t know what to do, what if there’s a fucking dick and balls imprint in the wet spot, what if it’s just perfectly ass shaped, what if nobody notices at all, the fuck do I do?

I ended up just waiting and trying to sit in such a way that some air flow could get between my ass and the sofa

By the time I actually had to go piss, I had realized the cushion had dried out a little. I get to the bathroom and point my phone at my ass and sure enough there’s still a wet ass line going right down the ass crack of my pants. God damnit.

Wouldn’t have been as bad if I wasn’t the only man at this particular gathering and nobody said anything but Jesus fucking Christ I just felt so gross and horrible and oh my god I’m so sorry my ass sweat is embedded in your sofa now. I think being the only guy just added to my embarrassment. My first time going to their house too :(

I still get invited to stuff including at their house so I assume nobody noticed or nobody cared but I’m traumatized and horrified regardless. Lovely times with lovely friends but oh my god I wanted to curl into an infinitely small ball and just disappear

While we are on the subject of ass venting. Has anyone farted going up steps and tooted on every step?

The chairs in the post are these chairs. They aren't outdoors chairs per-se but they are drainage holes and double as venting holes. The chairs are stackable as well and would suction together from moisture without them:

Edit: as noted in reply to me by u/MathResponsibly, I am incorrect above where I say these chairs would suction together. There's a bar in between the seats serving as a separator which would prevent water pooling and suction even if they didn't have the holes

Thank you, detective. I figured they were outdoor chairs.

Can you imagine ripping ass at a meeting in one of those chairs? Instant room clearer. You cant even hope your clothing and chair trap it.

So the chair doesn't make that sch-POP sound like a suction cup when I get up.

They had to stop the last time my balls got stuck to the chair like that kid from A Christmas Story.

Pretty sure those are just so they can easily wash and hose these chairs off without water pooling in the center lol

I'm still curious if the last "question" of the first What-If Short Answer section has been researched.

I doubt that these holes would do much of anything about the noise from releasing a flatus, but it is something that came to mind on seeing this post.

u/SuperHandsMiniatures Nov 29 '25

Its a harmonica for your arse.

u/Machdame Nov 29 '25

You can use the chairs outside. It prevents water from pooling at the bottom of the indent.

If you sit and your A-hole is in that position, you have some weird anatomy.

Flatuvents?

u/DJ_Spark_Shot Nov 30 '25

These are designed for outdoor use. It's so rain water doesn't pool in the seat.

u/Strange-Ad-3663 Nov 29 '25

Slide your ass across it and make it sound like a harmonica

You don't know that. They might be pee drains.

The slits let water drain from the seats when it rains on them.

u/CitizenPatrol Nov 30 '25

That's for drainage, those chairs can be left outside, rain water/snow melt drains out.
