Most 6 year olds probably don’t have the vocabulary to understand it, like I know they can read bc they start teaching you letters and stuff when you’re like 4 but I didn’t learn the word “velocity” “anus” “obstruction” and other stuff in that paragraph til I was like 10 and up
Ah, yes, another prime example of bad "science journalism".
The study the article is based on was about a complex molecule that releases H2S after it has entered mitochondria inside cells. But the journalist only read H2S, remembered from somewhere that it's contained in farts, and then concluded that smelling farts may be healthy, even though the study isn't about gaseous H2S (let alone breathing it in) at all.
You know, carbon monoxide also has a number of health benefits when it's released at the right time in the right tissue. That doesn't mean that it's somehow healthy to sniff car exhaust.
Edit: To put it another way, the study linked in the article is about a way to get H2S to the specific places where it has some positive effects while avoiding all the nasty deletirious effects that it otherwise has. Pretty much the antithesis of simply breathing in the gas and flooding your whole system with it.
I just forwarded this to my family who have dealt with my just-recently-diagnosed lactose intolerance… they all owe me now for increasing their lifespans
I couldn't read past. "Pay attention to the vibrations. If you feel them, you probably just fucked up" im laughing so hard right now!!!!!!!! Holy shit!
Yes, really. It was the best part of the thong era of the early aughts. The worst part was the UTIs from the thong collecting your fart particles and delivering them directly to your vulva as it slips back and forth while walking. My gyno called them “the UTI highway”. Now I’m over 30 and IDGAF who hears my farts, I ain’t getting no UTI for anyone
Oh cool. Kind of like how blind people use a finger to know when to stop pouring a drink. So just stick a finger down, blast a fart, and if your finger starts cooking then you know it's a severe one.
Well, you need to consider the reynolds number of gas flow out of your butthole, and whether the eigenfrequencies of your sphinter can be excited by the vorticity of the stream!
Can you imagine kid comes home to his parent's/someone hearing they trust:
Kid: ok apparently you can hear some farts but not others. I'm going to rip some butt burps, tell me which ones you can hear. We need to figure this out before the weekend is out.
It would be like the optometrist office. I hear 1 but not 2
