Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded?

No. Heat is defined as average kenetic energy. It doesn’t make a difference if that heat is in the atmosphere in a room, or in the body of a person in that room.

not sure I agree. the heat contained in the body is warmer than room temp; transferring a portion of that heat out of the colon and diffusing it around the room has to bring the room’s temp up faster than the warm body (farter) transfers heat into the ambient room temp.

If OP meant atmosphere temperature they should have said that.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
by atmosphere I mean the local atmosphere, they’re asking for the temperature of the room.

The room contains everything in it. The walls give off radiation just as humans do.
