As part of Vice’s ongoing commitment to service journalism, they’ve published an interview with a proctologist to discuss what, exactly “makes a fart.” Considering our own fascination with the nuances of the gastrointestinal system, this obviously got our attention.
The interview covers some territory that, thanks to internet access in junior high, we already know: The smell is determined by what you eat, noise is determined by amount of gas and the speed/force with which it’s expelled, etc. But then the interview gets a bit more — technical? — and I personally learned something new, which I wanted to share it with you all!
