if modernism and postmodernism
are left alone

779 conflict between tradition and modernism

all people fart
in average 37 liters of gas per day
and yet so many people
refuse to admit it
or do it publicly
or during sex.

if we were truly a modern species
it would not be a problem
to fart into a partner’s face
while they give us oral sex.
