    A fart that serious wouldn’t seem real, and that goes double if it appears that you unmuted specifically to make the noise. Just tell people it was a soundboard.

      And now you’re the person who has a massive fart on a soundboard, and you decided to randomly unmute yourself to show it off?

        Thats exactly the kind of person we want to be. The soundboard guy, that’s one step away from radio talk show host.

          You never know, this could have been a class about finance. Jim Cramer got disgustingly far using a soundboard. Also by grifting investors with his hedge fund, but mostly the soundboard.

        You’d rather be the person who decided to randomly unmute to share your actual factual filthy self? At least a soundboard is just a poorly judged joke (that actually landed, if the teacher laughed). Or you can be a fart pervert.

        “Free Taco Bell” is the name of the GoFundMe for your legal defense because you got arrested for protesting the war after class

        Or free taco bell while getting pelted with sauce packets. Which might be even better if that’s their kink 🤷

      Honestly the teacher laughing was enough, literally no one is going to give a fuck after that.

      People need to realize that they are not the main character, if you want something embarrassing you did to go away just don’t bring it up. People aren’t jotting down notes to bring up later, they have full lives of their own, no one in college has time to commit this to memory any more than a funny anecdote and they won’t bother to remember who did it.

        Counterpoint: I still vividly remember a guy ripping a fart in class more than 20 years ago. Maybe because we’ve been writing a test and, up until that point, the classroom had been deadly silent before bursting into laughter.
        Or maybe because he did it again, a couple of days later.

          Oh for sure, I remember anecdotes like that too, but unless the person is still a friend I’m not going to remember who exactly did it.

          But that could be a me thing, my wife always tells me I’m bad at remembering details

    I’d always heard if you’re presenting in front of a crowd and rip a fart, say something to the effect of “I was hoping to finish with a bang, not start with one.” But I’m not sure how relevant that is for OP’s situation.

    Woah! I knew that was gonna be impressive and I was taught to share!

    Now you are a part of a joke that will live on in those people’s heads for their life.
