I hate to say it, but lowkey airflow is not stopped by doors.

There’s a big difference between a ocasional whiff and a massive stinker.

  • If it smells that bad something is wrong with your diet.

    • I feel like you're not picking up on the central point of "worse is worse than bad".

    • It's half dead bacteria, it's not supposed to smell like a bed of roses.

    • That’s not remotely true. There are plenty of health conditions that affect this. Alcohol consumption can affect it. Completely normal diets with specific foods can affect how stinky your poop is. Non standard but healthy diets also can do the same. There’s a lot more to it.

    • I can safely say there’s no person whose shit I want to be smelling, regardless of their diet.

It probably is.

Door closed + extractor makes gaps have negative pressure, no way anything goes into the room.

  • Extractor, what I’d call a bathroom fan, fair that effectively stops airflow, I’ll go with “close enough to negative pressure for civvies that they fool themselves” (I.e. ain’t actual negative pressure like a cdc lab)

    A door stops airflow? No.

    • >A door stops airflow? No.

      I mean, it literally does. Put something that smokes in a bathroom, open the window, close the door, and caulk the gaps. See how much smoke phases through the door.
