If someone with an innie belly button were to put a toilet plunger over it and pull, how much force would they need to turn their innie into an outie?

Title.

(EDIT: I’m not actually going to do it. This is purely hypothetical.)

Some pregnant women get outies in their second or third trimester, so there must be an amount of force that would do the same.

So push out from the inside. Got it.

Why use a plunger to create an outie? that seems overly complicated, just walk down to your local gas station jam the air hose up your butt for about 20 seconds, et voila, outie. The nice large, beer belly look you also obtain is just icing on the cake.

One tip I remember seeing is that for making before and after style weight loss images, people would drink huge amounts of diet Coke to make their bellies massive for the 'before' photo since it contains the most carbonation so I guess OP could start from there lol

As it would surely create a giant circular 'love bite' at the same time, a successful attempt would resemble gigantic third nipple.

True. Massive hickey, but that's just collateral damage... If the button stays out, that is

I don't think it's that comfortable or enjoyable to be honest, but yes, I want to know.

Subbed and looking forward to an answer with the math explained.

Same. We need a community for theydidthemath, and this to be the first post.
