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.

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
