16 Amazing Facts About Farts

13. Rumble In The Jungle

If you’re known among friends and family (much to your chagrin) for your ability to rumble your way through the aftermath of any meal, you’re probably a tight arse. We mean that literally, the louder your farts are, the tighter the muscles of your sphincter happen to be.

14. Natural Fart-Champions

You might think that cows are responsible for being the biggest farters on the planet, but actually a much smaller animal takes that title: termites. These little bugs are thought to produce 11% of all methane emissions, which is more than both cows and humans (even vegetarians!).

15. Atomically Bad

Scientists have proven once again that they might have a little too much time on their hands by answering once and for all how many farts it would take to create an atomic bomb. One accepted estimate is that one person would need to fart non-stop for six years and nine months to make that much energy. Alternatively, everyone on earth needs to release nine farts at the same time and we would have a hydrogen bomb.

16. A Rose By Any Other Name

We might often fall back on the favourites when talking about flatulence, primarily ‘fart’, but there are more ways to call a spade a spade. In fact, there are hundreds of euphemisms that could replace the word fart. Some of our favourites include anal acoustics, floof, death breath, blow the big brown horn, heinous anus, one-gun salute and so many more!

At the end of the day, we are all normal and healthy people who fart the same gas to the universe no matter what names we call them.
