There was one point in my life that i thought it was just a fart. It was a humiliating experience that up to this day i could not forget about it.

I was trying to break the silence with a loud fart but boom, my fart broke my heart.

Im sure you guys have your own experience to tell..

And so I thought I would collect some fart funfacts to share with you guys.

Did you know that fart has science too?
Farting can be very common for everyone but here are some bits of information than explains the science behind it.

The Sound Of Farting

Like any other sound, fart sound is caused by the vibrations of the anal opening. Its strength depends on the speed of the fart leaving your body and the tightness of the sphincter muscles of your anus.

Factors that affect the sound of fart includes the tightness of the sphincter, the amount of gas, and the force behind the fart.

Why Do Farts Smell?

The smell of farts comes from gas and mercaptans (other gases) in the mixture generated during digestion. "These compounds contain sulfur. The more sulfur-rich foods you eat, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be made by the bacteria in you tummy, and the more your farts will stink."

Simply put that the average reaction of people who get to smell you fart is directly proportional to the amount sulfur rich foof you eat. These types of food include cauliflower, eggs and meat.

Beans on the other hand will make you fart a lot but wont be smelly.

Smelling your own fart.

Majority of people tend to like the smell of their own fart.

In a study made about farts, 65-76 % agree that people like smelling their own gasses and that theirs smell better than others

I can't think of a human being who would love to smell other people's fart but when it it comes to our flatulence, it turns out we’re actually a-ok with the odor.

In other words, we kind of, sort of actually enjoy sniffing our own gasses.

Well it usually takes 13 to 20 seconds from the time fart leaves a person's butt till the time it smells so if your lucky enough to have heard it or realize the signs that a major odor is a bou to reach your nose, then I guess you can outrun it.

Each fart, and each person’s nose, is unique. You have to take into account wind speed and direction, airflow, obstacles, a specific fart’s chemistry, a specific sniffer’s odor receptors, temperature, and more.

So yeah, maybe you can outrun a fart. Maybe you can’t. -

Fart cultures

While most cultures feel that farts should be suppressed in polite company, there are some cultures that not only don't mind letting them fly in public, but they actually enjoy it.

The Indian tribe Yanomami from South America actually uses flatulence as a way of saying hello.

There' actually a job in China for a professional fart-smeller!

In ancient Rome, Emperor Claudius, fearing that holding farts in was bad for the health, passed a law stating that it was acceptable to break wind at banquets.

Holding fart can harm your health?

There are disagreements on whether or not holding in flatulence is actually harmful.

Some say it cannot hurt because it is part of a natural process. Others say holding in farts can cause bloating, hemorrhoids, and other uncomfortable symptoms.

While there are no studies yet to prove its harmful, theres no harm in taking things with caution. But if you guys want to be the first medical patient diagnosed of hemorrhoids for holding flatulence for too long then do so. Hahaha

Do farts really burn?

Farts contain gasses like methane and hydrogen which make it flamable however, if you intend to burn your farts, exercise caution as people who actually did it do get injured in the process.

How to distinguish a fart from a poop?

"Our ability to distinguish between the need to fart and the need to poop is something that we learn gradually in the process of toilet training and early childhood. With the tactile nerve endings in the rectal area, we can actually feel different sensations depending upon what is waiting by the exit. Of course, sometimes we are fooled, especially if the substance at hand is extremely fluid in nature, and that is when we have the unfortunate accident of venting a squirt of diarrhea rather than an innocent fart."
