All right I've run the numbers on this, and my central thesis is this: assuming you're on earth at sea level, the average fart composition is lighter than air and exerts a measurable buoyancy effect like helium in a balloon. Ok nobody's farting helium but you do fart methane, which is MUCH lighter than air and plus you can light it on fire when you fart for a cool trick to show mom. But I bet if you farted out helium it would sound hilarious.

Here's my math:
  • assuming 0.5L average daily fart volume, divided by average of 14 individual farts for an average fart volume of 0.0357l
  • assuming a fart composition of 21% hydro, 59% nitro, 9% co2, 7% methane, and 4% o2 in that volume gives you about 0.038g, feel free to look up the kg/m3 for each gas and do the work yourself
  • the weight of air at sea level is commonly known at 0.0459g so comparing that with the fart volume, you get about -0.0079 or -8mg


That means you GAIN 8mg of weight every time you blast rear end.

You're assuming that expelling it changes your outward volume. Consider that the helium is compressed inside your voluminous rear end, so it is not actually displacing any air. Getting rid of it makes you lighter.


edit: before it is freed as a gas, it is part of a compound amongst the three dozen hardboiled eggs you eat every day (see a doctor)

Did you even read my post I said we dont fart helium, but I bet if you were able to somehow fart out a blast of sulfur hexafluoride your fart would sound real deep like a loving trombone

Is it funnier if it sounds like an angry chihuahua, or a sad trombone?

You never stated what volume of sea level air is 0.0459g.

Wait, the average is 14 farts per day? I need to go to a fart doctor.

i think deeper, sulphur hexafluoride farts, would be funnier

it'd be pretty funny if we farted out halogens because they're coloured and visible

Do you think you could do like a reverse fart where you suck atmosphere directly into your rear end in a top hat? I sure hope so!

What about nitrous oxide? Should I be using this in my calculations when boofing whip-its

How should I factor in the use of heavy whipping cream whipped directly into my rectum

Is this what's meant by "get your weight up"

Depends on the gas and the amount. a little bit? probably not.

I mean it might make you infinitesimally less bouyant in this dumb atmosphere we're swimming through, but farting DOES make you less massive, so :hydrogen::science::hydrogen:

No, beans create fart gas, so if you eat enough beans but don't fart you get lighter than air and float around. Of course, you'd rupture your stomach before getting anywhere near that point.

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
Have a friend fart directly into your mouth and then swallow it to cancel out the effect.
