Comment on Does farting make you lighter or heavier ?
Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 18 hours agoMethane is lighter than air
Objection! ;-)
This comparison is not relevant, unless you take in as much air immediately as you have just pressed out.
Would you now please show us how you do that?

If it’s lighter than air, it’s lifting you while it’s inside of you…
If it’s not there, it’s not lifting you, and you’re heavier.
Think of a balloon that is so old it doesn’t rise anymore. It just stays neutrally bouyant. In this case it’s even less than that. It is a completely and totally negligible amount of difference. But while holding a fart you’re technically a very shitty balloon.

There is a limit beyond which it will simply dissolve into your blood stream.
