I physically can't burp. The muscles in my throat don't open to let air out. We had r/noburp on reddit, but I don't know if there's an equivalent here.

Oh shit, there are others!

And then there were three.

Can you throw up?

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Last time I threw up was around 6 years ago. I can, just very rarely.

Can you buy a car?

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nope, I don't have a driver's license.

What? Is this related?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I think the commenter was making a gas joke.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can you pass gas?

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yes. More than others, in fact, because the gas has nowhere else to go. Sometimes it makes a weird gurgly noise though.
