Methane is lighter than air. You deflated your balloon intestines by removing the cork, so the methane and other gases are no longer giving you a modicum of buoyancy.

This accutally sounds scientifically correct
The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.
Most digital bathroom scales will repeat your last measurement if it hasn’t changed by more than half a pound. I pick up a 1 lb soap bottle off the counter first, then measure again without it for my weigh in.
Customers really hate seeing if a scale has a little inaccuracy in back to back measurements, so they all build in this bullshitting.
so you’re saying we should invest in an industrial freight shipping scale for maximum accuracy
I love this. It remind me of the whole South Korean fan thing.
I’m short-sighted and on our mechanical scale, I can’t see the thin lines to count out the precise kilos.
At first, I was bothered by that, but yeah, in addition to natural weight fluctuations, just bouncing a bit on the scale would stop it at different kilos, so eventually I considered it more of a feature that I couldn’t tell precisely.Most mid market scales buffer the weight to normalize it. I got a $20 one off Amazon that just tells me fresh every time and it’s great. I pooped .4lbs this morning.
Hmm, how would they buffer it, if you’ve got multiple household members? Or are we talking about those weird scales that require an app?
If last measurement within half a pound, show previous measurement.
Good job
They are both imprecise AND inaccurate?
He said they have god awful precision, and accuracy… They at least have accuracy, and as someone mentioned they are 2 different things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
When talking about measurements, “precision” and “accuracy” have slightly different meanings See here
The science going on in the comment section is just *chef’s kiss*
I learn all my science from meme communities
I can confirm this happens. But one trick I learned to lose weight really fast is to remove the battery from the digital scale, reinsert and reweigh. I lost 12 lbs in 20 seconds like that once… I think this method is used a lot in boxing weigh ins too
No, don’t be ashamed. 1 out of 3000 Americans is a Reverse-Pooper; it’s time we recognize their struggle
Build a hyperdrive with that negative mass exotic matter poop
