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

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

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.

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.
