Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier?

the scale would momentarily say you got heavier because of the added force pushing down on it from air movement but you you actually get lighter and the scale will soon say that as well

Wouldn’t it also lift you up with a similar amount of force? Similar to putting a fan on a sailboat to blow at the sails, the forces would cancel out somewhat
