Did you know …
That if you pass gas without bracing your feet, you will be pushed forward, and potentially knocked over? It’s true! This is because the gut bacteria that produce hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane (the gases that make up the bulk of your flatus) are actively trying to knock you over. The bacteria believe that they might have a chance of taking control of your sweet bod if they can get you down for a moment (yeah, you’re lying down all night, but bacteria are very stupid.)
Fortunately, people almost never fall over from farting. Just like your natural blinking response to sneezing, you always subconsciously brace yourself when you fart. To overcome this automatic response you have to, as the famous microbiologist Alice Catherine Evans put it, “rip some major goddamn ass.”
