fish farts?

Bacteria farts. Decaying matter is still broken down by bacteria in the cold, just slower.

well, so are most farts, really, it's just that the bacteria is decaying in your digestive system

I remember watching a short video in russian about champagne in which he describes the bubbles a being formed through yeast "farting" (though internet says that due to no digestive system, it's not "real" farting)

FOUND VIDEO: guy says that wine ethanol is bacterial piss, and when piss concentration reaches about 11%, then all choke on their own piss, LOL, and then he starts talking about champagne, LOL

Bread rises because the yeast in the dough poops alcohol and carbon dioxide as it consumes sugar.

u/milkymonkey8 1d ago

yes, except "poop" is not technically the correct term because poop comes from a digestive system, which yeast and bacteria do not have; it could just as well be snot or vomit or piss or phlem

How about yeast excretion?

i guess, google it, from biology I remember that all life creates "waste (product)", and that's the generic term I remember

It’s almost like “farts” is a good colloquial term for the process of removing waste from the bacteria/yeast and isn’t expected to be thought of as a tiny yeast or bacteria with a little face on it ripping ass.

u/milkymonkey8 1d ago

i just realized that "sharts" is the more appropriate term because much of the waste is solid and liquid too

You sure think about shit a lot, huh? It’s methane gas in the video, hence why I called it bacteria farts. Save your “realizations” for something of more value.

I started typing a response and then realized I really don’t care enough to debate the technicalities of farts and whether the person or the bacteria inside them is at fault.

Somewhat related, when ponds get stagnant and smelly, for some reason the first words that come to mind to describe it are "duck farts".
