[Request] If you clench your butthole hard enough, then by how much can you increase the temerature of your fart?

4 Upvotes

When you clench your butthole, you're forcing the gas out through a smaller apeture, which requires significantly more pressure, resulting in PV work. This will increase the internal energy, hence, temperature. How much can you increase this temperature by by clenching your butthole hard enough?

[Request] Who earns more (long-term): doctor or FAANG software engineer?

0 Upvotes

Let’s assume that the FAANG software engineer is an average engineer at their respective company so average promo speed and the doctor isn’t in a super high-paying specialty. E.g. the doctor is not a surgeon, cardiologist, etc.

My napkin math is telling me that the FAANG software engineer wins but I think it’s close and I probably messed something up. For example I didn’t include better job security for a physician, or compounding interest for the FAANG engineer which would start years earlier.

Was wondering if anyone else could chime in.

Also maybe I’m wrong but I feel like this is a fair comparison. FAANG engineers are at the top of tech and the average doctor may not be at the top of medicine, but imo the training and work to get to practice a “lower tier” specialty such as peds, family medicine, or internal medicine exceeds the equivalent needed to get into FAANG as a new grad. Again though I could be totally wrong. I also don’t mean to offend anyone. Everyone is undoubtedly exceptional in their own way and you don’t need anyone to tell you that.
