What an image
We should sell barrel aged farts to rich idiots.
Mmm myess, I detect a subtle nuttiness mmmhhmhmm exquisite mmmm
Who do you think you are?
Runnin’ round leaving scars
Saving your jar of farts
Tearing love apart
*Tearing
lovebutt apartI say that every time I hear this song too hahaha.
You’re gonna catch a cold,
From the ice inside your hole.
“It happened ONE TIME in 4th grade!!”
I lied…!
That reminds me of when I was a kid, farting in the bath. As I saw the bubbles coming up to the surface, I wanted to catch them.
So I took whatever plastic container I could find around the bath - most likely the cap of a shampoo bottle - submerged it, and held it close to my butt when I felt the next fart coming.
I succeeded in catching some of the fart in the cap. Then I claimed my prize by sniffing directly from the cap. It was so much worse than any fart I’ve ever smelled.
As a true scientist, I’ve repeated the experiment on a few later occasions, and without a doubt : bath farts captured in plastic containers smell much worse than normal farts.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
My brother used to fart in a tennis ball can and hold me down and make me smell it. I agree, contained farts are awfuler.
I remember sitting in the hall during school as a second grader taking to a friend. I said, “I wonder if you farted in a balloon if it would float.” A teacher overheard me and scolded me about it, for some reason.
That was the perfect opportunity to teach the first step of The Scientific Method. The next step was the Hypothesis - what do you think will happen, based on the scientific knowledge you already have?
Then you have to Plan The Experiment, which in this case, would probably really energize the students’ brain power. They’ll LOVE figuring out this experiment. I would bet that EVERY student would be engaged in this one.
It’s the Doing The Experiment that might be problematic, and end up with the teacher explaining themselves to the School Board: “All I can say is, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I guess you had to be there.”
Your teachers sucked. Mine would’ve told me to try at home
Thank you for your contributions to science
That’s the same way they did it on Mythbusters.
TL;DR: No. The half-life of hydrogen-sulfide (one of smelliest constituents of a fart) reacting with the oxygen in the jar from just your fart is 12-37 hours. The article gives an example of a particularly potent hypothetical fart that would only retain any distinguishable odor for 9 days tops.
So if I farted into a vaccum sealed bag… I could save it then?
Sadly, the fart itself comes with oxygen included
My dreams have been shattered.
*sharted
This guy farts
There is a reasonable amount of oxygen in farts? Really?
4% of a fart is oxygen, according to the article, which is enough to react with all of the hydrogen-sulfide, since 1 mole of oxygen is enough to react with more than 1 mole of hydrogen-sulfide (H₂S makes up around 1% of the total volume).
Persumebly not but there is oxygen in the air, usually.
Dammit I wanted to breathe in only farts
Why does the fart jar in the picture have a spoon in it?
why is the jar brown to start with, what kind of a fart are we dealing with here sir?
Fartspoon > poopknife.
Hey sweetie, would you like anymore fart mousse?
You know why.
To agitate the fart in 20 years.
A better question might be what kind of farts did they have to laminate the inside of that jar so thoroughly that only a spoon could extract it?
They’ve chosen the worst jar to put in the picture
Yeah, they didn’t fart in that jar, shart maybe…
I thought it was just gas!
Farting in jars is dangerous business. You don’t want to end up like that lady from 90 Day Fiancé do you???
Something about that story smells fishy.
$1k / jar and brought in $100k… so that’s 100 jars total. Maybe a little extra in case of an accident during shipping. So why did she need to fart 50x per week? Shit, that would be $2.4 million per year of she could actually sell that.
So the way I see it, she was farting in a jar 50x per week but only selling 2 of them… that’s not a business, that’s a fetish she managed to squeeze a whiff of money out of.
How can we preserve it?
Just store it in an office chair.
Based on my experience with GCMS, if you fart into some activated carbon, you might be able to store it for a long time. To release the smell you’d heat your “sample” up to about 250°C, which you could do in a hot oven or maybe stovetop burner
How do you preserve a sunset, or a child’s laughter? How do you preserve the feeling of a first kiss, or the flavor of your mom’s hug? How do you preserve the memory of your lost love, or the fish that flew away? How do you preserve the anxious feeling of your first ritual death match in the ring of eternal fire, or a crisp autumn day?
Fart in a vacuum or maybe in nitrogen? Seems like oxygen is the enemy.
maybe if you fart into a cryogenic chamber right into a pot of liquid nitrogen. then you can heat it up again later and… why am i here again?
You’re solving important problems, just like the rest of us.
You don’t leave until the problem is solved.
I wish I could be a big enough thot to sell my farts for $45k.
I wish I could be a big enough
thotcapitalist to sell my farts for $45k.You should give them away for free, comrade. They are the people’s wind.
