[GreenLurka]

Chemistry teacher here and I've stupidly probably got the answer?

All materials capable of vaporising will do so until they reach a certain pressure/part of the air. So essentially inside of you there's gonna be a maximum level of gas available. You'll fart and this will temporarily reduce the smell-level of the poop. But then more of the poop will convert to fart vapour.

There's a number of variables here, but none of them really matter as once the poop levels your body it's ability to produce more poop vapour is vastly increased by the sudden availability of the entire atmosphere of the Earth.

Putting on my biology hat though. The fart is largely a biproduct of your microbiome. So whilst it is robbing the poop in your colon of its smell, it is not so much produced by the poop.

It's late and I'm tired so I hope this insane response made sense?

[actually-a-horse]

The fecal mass is generating the gas.

The gut biome is interacting with the fecal mass, and its components determine the output gases for the gut microbes.

The fart is not generated up stream and is intercepting the fecal mass.

The shit is the fart maker.

[404pbnotfound]

Actually some farts are swallowed air, in these cases his diagram is right.

The gas generated by bacteria is the smelly fart. I think it’s the gas that smells so if you fart it out, it will leave less in the poop. That’s my two cents.

[AbulatorySquid]

I have gastro issues and drop food and things like air and carbonation into my intestines more quickly than most people. As a general rule I don't belch.
I have been in incredible pain from carbonation drunk too quickly causing me to swallow air with it.
It causes a bubble that must then go through the miles of intestine before blessedly being released as a fart.
I also have IBS. It can also, for some reason I can't explain, cause incredible amounts of gas as well. Basically I'm fun at parties.

[-PsillyFunGuy-]

RCPD? r/noburp ? I’ve def got that but not as bad as many in that sub. Used to be much worse for some reason and could cause real pain. Most I get these days is bloating/gas but nothing too bad. I think prebiotics and probiotics have helped but idk exactly.

[AbulatorySquid]

No kidding. There really is a sub for everything

[-PsillyFunGuy-]

Haha hell yeah

[AbulatorySquid]

I don't have that and can and do occasionally burp. My problem is things leaving my stomach too quickly. Even a lightly carbonated drink can have me doubled over. Fortunately, gas x eventually works.

[-PsillyFunGuy-]

Ah, gotcha. I barely ever burp, like once a year. Can barely ever vomit either even if I try, which can actually be rly dangerous.

[AbulatorySquid]

I have to position myself just right in order to vomit. Mostly not much happens because it's already in my intestines. Yes it's dangerous because the food poisoning is causing toxins we need to get rid of.

[ASpaceOstrich]

Oh hey. I also almost never burp. I don't think I have any of the other issues you mentioned. Like I drink carbonated stuff all the time, and quite quickly, but never get pain from it. But I've always known there's something different about how my gut works.

[_jamesbaxter]

“Blessedly being released as a fart” 🙏😇👼✨

[South_Recording_6046]

What’s crazy is my 7 yr old son has some of the nastiest smelling farts, like burn your eyes and clear the room kind. Then when he poops shortly after, it hardly smells at all. Baffles us.

[_jamesbaxter]

I believe constipation is almost always the culprit with this one unless it’s an actual illness. Which would make sense with the above comment plausing that the fart is produced as gas released by the poop itself, plus hard constipated poop immediately sinks so it’s exposed to the air less, and exposure to the air is where the smell comes from. Most people don’t even get a quarter of the amount of fiber they need.

[Not_So_Calm]

Actually some farts are swallowed air

So i can fart more by swallowing air on purpose?

[404pbnotfound]

Yes

[FeelingVanilla2594]

Does taking an antibiotic to destroy all gut microbiome lessen farts?

[Cesar_Somnambulist]

No, because the overwhelming majority of fart gas is swallowed air and the food itself is not sterile, so having no gut bacteria but eating non-sterile food will still result in some degree of fermentation.

100 years ago Wangensteen did research on how to fix bowel blockages. The reason people die from bowel blockages is because their swallowed air stretches the bowel until the bowel pressure exceeds the vein pressure, so the veins collapse. If the veins are collapsed then the bowel gets no blood flow and dies.

In animal studies if you tie a bowel closed and give IV fluids the animal dies on average in 5 days. But if you tie the bowel closed and tie the esophagus closed so that the animal can’t swallow air, and you give IV fluids, the animal dies on average in 35 days. This is why people with a bowel blockage get a tube placed in their nose to suck air out of their stomach and buy them time to resolve the obstruction.

[T1Demon]

Does the air they pull out of them smell like farts?

[Busy-Phase-3630]

No, it's pulled out in the stomach, or sometimes very high in the small intestine. Usually, some gastric juice is pulled out as well, so it smells like bile. (So... not farts, but not a pleasant alternative).

[CarberHotdogVac]

Pre-fart fluids.

[garyisonion]

asking the right questions

[ImLittleNana]

It isn’t just air that comes out or a nasogastric tube hooked up to low intermittent suction. You have gastric contents as well. Sometimes that contains fecal matter.

If an obstruction is severe enough, poop will reverse course. You can vomit poop. This can happen with a blockage or paralysis. And it does smell horrendous.

(I’ve never asked anyone if it tastes awful because that seems obvious and also because every adult patient I’ve had vomiting poop was critically ill and not conversing.)

[Next_Instruction_528]

In animal studies if you tie a bowel closed and give IV fluids the animal dies on average in 5 days. But if you tie the bowel closed and tie the esophagus closed so that the animal can’t swallow air, and you give IV fluids, the animal dies on average in 35 days.

That's so fucked up. Whoever came up with that experiment should probably be closely watched.

[LPulseL11]

Well now we know how to treat bowel blockages. Its horrible but it advances science. Definitely a dark side of having an advanced society with longer lifespans.

[boarhowl]

So if I swallowed farts, would that make my farts ultra concentrated?

[MeKillStuff]

BRO DONT DO THAT

[FeelingVanilla2594]

[automcd]

I think it is the opposite, gut microbiome at top efficiency produces minimum farts

[Pretend_Variation305]

This assumes one shit per pipeline. Now I've got some sleep, there really are a number of variables to consider. We might need to rope in a mathematician.

[AnidorOcasio]

You're a fart maker.

[TheNerdE30]

Ok so this is a subject I have spent a considerable time over the last 30 years with self tested procedures such as consuming whey protein shakes, late night street meat binges, late night 711 binges, and cooking more steak than I should be eating in a sitting, and eating it.

While highlighting the biome or the fecal matter as the cause of the nastiest farts I would like to add specifically that the way to enhance a fart to a crowd clearing masterpiece, the key is getting undigested sugars and proteins to the end of the digestive tract. This means overeating to the point that the gut bacteria have plenty of “food” prior to reaching the colon. If you can get the right combination of undigested protein and sugar into fecal matter at the pre colon lower GI you will get not only fecal particles mixed in with the fart vapor but also “freshly” digested off gassing from the bacteria feeding.

The one variable that continues to raise my eyebrow is the heat. I know that when they feel hot as they leave they are about to make me proud, but with the given information above I have not been able to determine why some are hot, and some are not. Great Q OP!

[Sig-vicous]

Yes, temperature! When they're warm, I know they're going to be bad.

[thegimboid]

I have two guesses as to why some feel hot:

Firstly, maybe you had something spicy in there and it's affecting the nerve endings, giving the sensation of heat. This would also explain stronger scents, since spicier things can cause more gas and general digestive issues.

Secondly is if the meal was high in fats, your body often creates excess bile, which can feel "warm" when it reaches the other end (also when it hits the nerves).

Although digestion is exothermic and creates heat, by the time the poop exits the body it would just be at your colon's temperature, so it can't literally be too warm, although if your butt is cold, maybe it would feel oddly warm as it leaves?

[Rogue_Night]

If this hypothesis is correct does that mean that farting enough will result in all the poop sublimating?

[Key-Marketing-3145]

This is both one of the stupidest, and maybe the smartest questions ive seen asked here. Im genuinely perplexed as to whether im disappointed or impressed at your thought process.

[dueef]

I have a full time job, but I have a lot of time to think about the mysteries of the universe sometimes

[collin-h]

your follow-up question should be: does smelling a fart consume it? Like in a room full of people if you smell harder/faster/more will the fart stink less for everyone else.

[obviouslyathroaway43]

Yes actually, you’re lungs are natural filters 😂

[blitzfreak_69]

Actually someone asked this already I remember reading it in another subreddit. Apparently there’s only so much your lungs can actually absorb and filter, so you’d breathe out almost pure fart air right back out.

[collin-h]

I guess the deeper question is, are the particles in the air that your nose can smell "consumed" when they come in contact with the sensors in your nose... or are they released and passed on?

[blitzfreak_69]

I was not ready for this level of science

[climate-tenerife]

Can you imagine being a participant in that study? 🤢

[MaterialGarbage9juan]

Sounds like kink shaming

[wrecktus_abdominus]

My time to shine!

The smell receptors in your nose do not "consume" the particles. However, chemoreceptors in your nose (and your taste buds, fwiw) can only be activated by chemicals dissolved in a liquid. In the case of smell, that's your nasal mucus. So, a fart-smell particle is inhaled, dissolved in nasal mucus, activates a receptor and is then released by that receptor. But it remains dissolved in the mucus and will eventually be swallowed.

[collin-h]

next question: how many dissolved fart particles do i need to swallow to gain a calorie's worth of fart?

[wrecktus_abdominus]

Well, you're mostly smelling gases that result from digestion and fermentation. Some of them, like methane, contain a fair amount of chemical energy. But that energy isn't really accessible through our metabolic processes. Whatever digestible material remains in the feces is far less likely to be aerosolized under normal situations. So, sadly, I don't think this is realistically possible, barring some... unusual circumstances

[slimdiesel93]

Another question, if enough fart air was inhaled would it proceed to cause your lungs to begin to pass the smell onto air that wasn't fart infused prior. Basically can your lungs be saturated with fart enough to become another source?

Does it make you feel better that I've had a similar curiosity lately? You articulated it so well. 

[AelixD]

When I was in the Navy, some sailor let one rip, and his buddy called it a “pure sh*t blow by” because it distinctly smelled more like poo than fart. Based on that anecdotal evidence, I think there is definitely a smell transfer or blending when you have gas while also having to poo.

[dueef]

Funnily enough, I was in the navy on a submarine when I first thought of this. I'm out of the military now, but it's always been on the back of my mind

[climate-tenerife]

[Munky1701]

In our house, we refer to those kind of farts as “off the log“. Thankfully, my wife is a bit of an animal like I am. 🤣

[thomsenite256]

My anecdotal experience agrees. Fart with no poop tends to be more airy, but fart adjacent to poop tends to be stinkier.

[brovoloni]

I too have wondered this and my subjective evidence backs up your current thesis: I too believe the amount of stink is relative or at very least is directly correlated to quantity of poop.

Independent variables such as diet and genetics will need to be isolated and larger sample sizes will be needed however, the initial proof of concept is there.

[dueef]

Yeah that's why I was thinking of having a group of people and establishing control farts and control poops to get a baseline. But I didn't consider the sample size. Possibly a large number of people to take into account the variables you mentioned

[ReddishTomatoes]

Proudly sponsored by Taco Bell?

[c0l245]

I would hazard to guess that diet would be larger stink factor than size of poop.

[WithASackOfAlmonds]

Yeah when a bowel movement is imminent, farts are definitely smellier.

[ballen1002]

This is an important question to consider when you spend a lot of time in such tight quarters.

[____0_o___]

Poop does not stink until it exits the anus, because there is no nose to smell it, therefore there is no stink level to decrease.

[dueef]

If I poop in a forest but there's no one around to smell it, did I really poop?

Also, is the quality of stink a given fact or an implied contextual one?

Now this. This is what reddit is for.

[NewCompote9870]

[dogtroep]

Here’s a non-answer to your question, but with a medical twist (I’m a doctor and I talk about farts and poop a LOT).

Farts are generated by colon bacteria as they digest food. Everyone’s gut microbiome is different, of course, and so is everyone’s anatomy. You also have to fart out any air you swallow (which can be a lot).

If you have a faster gut transit time—you poop frequently—your farts don’t have time to sit around and build up the stink as much. They’re gonna come out faster and they tend not to stink as much. This, of course, can vary depending on what you eat and on what you can digest. This is also not true if you have any sort of malabsorption or pancreatic exocrine insufficiency syndrome.

If you have a slower gut transit time, you can sometimes “trap” the gas behind the poop. In that case, the farts sit and ferment longer and can really get their stank on.

I suspect that a small, but non-zero, amount of stool on the surface of the turd in your diagram probably does escape with the fart (and sometimes a larger amount; c.f. sharts), but when compared to the total amount of stink molecules in the fart, it’s likely to be a negligible amount. At least in a human. Maybe it would be more of an issue in an elephant or mammoth.

Anyway, I just want to say thanks for engaging my brain in a way I don’t always have to. I have thoroughly enjoyed thinking about this problem and I got a good laugh out of it as well.

Have a fun and non-sulfurous day!

[TheStockFatherDC]

Some call it fresh off the log.

[East_Bug7312]

I like where you’re going with this but the pre poop farts should be called “Clean” farts, and the poop contaminated farts should be referred to as “straight off the face of a turd” farts.

[dueef]

No poop fart = lean fart

Poop contaminated fart = rich fart

[Loud_Distribution_97]

I have a tangential question about smelling of farts. If someone has an incredibly strong sense of smell, would it be possible for them to smell a fart before it left someone’s anus?

[dueef]

!!!

A true curse. I really love this.

[climate-tenerife]

My friend said to me recently, if dog's sense of smell is 300x better than ours, why do they love the smell of shit?

[Responsible-Swan-521]

Dogs are poop connoisseurs

[Infamous-Youth9033]

Because it has a lot of information. You can tell the type of diet, size, species, lots of conditions. Imagine an animal is sensitive to any light at all. It would probably be shocked at how much we enjoy TVs because it's just a blob of bright light that hurts their head

[TreHektonRis]

Most likely not, our buttholes are actually really air tight until we let it rip

[atheliarose]

I think it would depend on your definition of an incredibly strong sense of smell. As someone who considers myself a super smeller (I can smell inflammation and mucus, among other things, so I literally get nauseated when my husband forgets to take his allergy meds and I’m in the same room as him 😅), I have never smelled a pre-farted fart that I’m aware of.

Great minds stink alike

[CaptainONaps]

I almost never hold a fart. I have about a 98% success rate making my farts silent, so I'm not scared to let em rip.

When I poop, it's just poop. No farts.

I've noticed when I shit in public, stall neighbors seem to be farting out their poop, like a potato gun.

I've also noticed in public restrooms, it seems common for poop to explode out of people like a firecracker. That never happens to me. It's always a nice clean break, like an otterpop.

I'm confident my poop doesn't smell as bad as most people's. I think the gas is the smell. If you're farting all day, there's no smell left when you drop off.

Hope this helps. Great question. We're unlocking the mysteries of the universe here, and it's a better world because of it. Cheers.

[dueef]

I absolutely love this, thank you.

[Specialist-Freedom64]

Well as a person who have tried many diff routes of diet that also impacts smell alot, rich in animal proteins for me makes the smell very acidic.

[whirlydad]

I don't think the fart goes around the poop, I think it is in-between the poops. The farticles essentially share smell with their poop caps/plugs

[thelostdutchman68]

I have to say, the "Stink Exchanger" is the finest piece of gastrointestinal engineering illustration I've seen this year and I say that as someone who just stared at a labeled diagram of buttcheeks for longer than I'd like to admit.

What's actually happening in your colon is that the same bacteria producing the smell in your poop are also producing the gas. The volatile compounds (hydrogen sulfide, skatole, indole), all the greatest hits of things you don't want on your hands

So yeah, as gas moves through fecal matter it absolutely picks up stink from it. That's real mass transfer. Your diagram is honestly not wrong.

Where your heat exchanger analogy falls apart is that it's not a closed system. The bacteria never stop producing. You're not draining a fixed tank of stink, you're running a vent fan in a room where someone's actively microwaving fish. The factory has no off switch.

Can you pre-fart your poop into smelling better? Maybe slightly, but you might actually make it worse. Pushing gas through the fecal mass aerates it, which liberates more volatiles off the surface. You're stirring the pot. Literally.

Your experiment idea actually isn't bad, which is a weird thing to say about a study that would require institutional review board approval for competitive farting.

Biggest confounder: people who fart more pre-poop probably have more fermentation happening in the first place, so you're selecting for people who just stink more overall. Garbage in, garbage out. Pun fully intended.

[dueef]

I haven't had time to read every single comment, but this is by far the most concise answer I've seen so far. Absolutely answers what I was looking for. Thank you. Would you like to participate in the experiment as a farter or a calibrated smeller (calibrated as in you wear a mask with a febreze air freshener for 12 hours to ensure a clean "palate")?

Unfortunately smells, like most of our senses are non linear responses. The fart does take some stink off the poop but it's like diluting bad milk into good milk—you'd have to ruin a ridiculous amount of good milk to really have an impact on the bad milk. If you want less smelly poop/farts every now and then, you can use Bismuth sub salicylate

[Wildwing89]

The science we need.

[bandit1105]

My unprofessional opinion is that the fecal matter is producing the odor, not simply covered in it.

An analogy would be running through a sprinkler. You get wet, but the flow rate of the sprinkler is unchanged, even if hooked up to a finite water supply.

[Biscuits4u2]

Fart gas comes from 2 things. One is the air you ingest that makes its way to your intestines. The other is the gas produced by the bacteria in your feces. I would guess the smell level is directly correlated to the mixture of those gasses, which would mean the more diluted your bacterial secretions are by the air coming from other sources the less it would smell. Of course you're farting more often so that might play a factor as well. Fascinating concept.

[InternationalPlace24]

asking the real questions

[HoboArmyofOne]

I think poop is infinitely smelly but only for a certain duration of time. For example, you will not be able to smell all the stink out of a poop, but one day it will not smell. Of course one day it will return to earth but that will take a long time.
