  Try this invention from 1977!

  (I love an excuse to bring up my favorite thing out of the US Patent database.)

    Looking though the related patents, fart filters certainly seem to be a hot topic among inventors.
    Here is a patent for a literal butt-plug fart filter.
    This one is from last year.

    Do you know if they ever ended up making any of these? I’m struggling to really understand “non-adhesive adherence” as well as other parts of that abstract

      I have been chuckling like a dork at this particular patent since such things first became searchable online, and have never found any evidence of it being manufactured and marketed at all.

      The “non-adhesive adherence” is illustrated in the diagrams on the patent which you can see at the link. The inventor proposes “a facing of fluffy fibrous material” to provide the filtration and the adherence; basically this thing is the softer side of a velcro strip, bent in a loop with the fluff facing outward so it sticks to the inside of your buttcrack to hold itself in place and filter your farts through it.

  If only there was a way to reuse vape pens for something useful/funny

    Fill them with farts and then pass them around to friends.

      Just imagine blasting monstrous cloud farts that smell like strawberries with a hint of shitting in the woods

      My regular run of the mill butt plug drives the dogs nuts every time I rip a mean one.

  Wealthy Republicans have them working on a filtered and thermocontrolled chastity belt as top priority.
