Facts about Farts
Let’s be honest, we are all fascinated about farts, at least a little. Here,
Professor Guffington shares some amazing facts and fartomation.
1.
Holding in farts can cause them to be reabsorbed into your bloodstream
and exhaled through your lungs. Eww!
2.
Farts can travel up to 10 feet per second (3 meters per second). That’s
about 7 miles per hour!
3.
Only around 1% of a fart is made of hydrogen sulfide, the stuff that smells
bad. The other 99% is non-smelly gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen,
nitrogen, oxygen, and methane.
4.
Flatulence and flatus are medical terms for what is commonly known as
farting.
5.
According to scientific research, most mammals fart, but there are some
exceptions. For example, sloths are thought to be the only mammal that
doesn’t fart. It was previously thought that bats may not fart, but
according to recent studies it seems that it’s possible that they do after all.
However, the exact frequency and intensity of bat farts is still unknown.
6.
There appears to be no link between how loud a fart is and how much it
smells. As everyone knows, an SBD can often be much worse than a real
ripper.
7,
The average person farts around 14 to 20 times a day, although this
varies by the person and by the day. 25 farts a day isn’t unusual for many
people. You can see how many times you’ve farted and how much gas
you’ve produced using the Fart Calculator.
8.
According to a study, women’s farts tend to smell worse than men’s. The
study found that while men fart more wind on average than women, due
to usually being bigger, it was the females that had a higher concentration
of hydrogen sulfide, the stuff that makes farts smell.
A fart in freezing weather would be visible
in the same way that we can see our breath
in the cold, but pants absorb most of it.
“Roses are red,
violets are blue.
I’ve got a fart, I’ll
give it to you.”
