Science has the answer<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">Yes, while Americans were watching the immense success of the American military in Iran, the Post elevated the intelligence of its readers with this slop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">To make matters more elegant, the Post noted that Monday\u2019s article was an excerpt from a forthcoming article on Tuesday titled, \u201cYou\u2019ve Been Pooping All Wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">Stop the presses and clear the room, because we finally have the hard-hitting investigative journalism we deserve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cScience has finally settled the age-old debate of whose farts smell worse \u2014 men or women,\u201d the Post breathlessly reported.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">Meet\u00a0Dr. Michael Levitt, a man who looked at the vast mysteries of human biology and became known to his colleagues as \u201cthe King of Farts.\u201d Armed with a gas chromatograph and a dream, Levitt didn\u2019t just study flatulence; he turned it into a high-stakes competitive sport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\" data-path-to-node=\"1\">Levitt\u2019s methodology was pure, unadulterated nightmare fuel. He recruited sixteen \u201cvolunteers,\u201d stuffed them with pinto beans, and literally plugged their butts with airtight tubes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">But the real MVPs were the \u201cindependent judges\u201d whose job description was to huff bags of concentrated rectal exhaust and rank them on a scale of \u201cmild\u201d to \u201cexistential crisis.\u201d In 2003, <em data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"372\">Popular Science<\/em>\u00a0called this the worst job in science, which feels like a massive understatement for someone who spent their Tuesday morning sniffing a pinto-bean-powered chemistry set.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\" data-path-to-node=\"2\">The earth-shattering results showed women\u2019s farts are more concentrated and toxic, while men favor \u201cquantity over quality,\u201d producing half a cup of gas per toot. The article called this a literal tie in the battle of the bowels. Levitt even took his expertise to\u00a0NASA, ensuring astronauts don\u2019t asphyxiate on their own internal atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">If you\u2019re gassy on a flight, don\u2019t blame the burrito; blame the\u00a0Ideal Gas Law (<span aria-hidden=\"true\"><span data-math=\"PV=nRT\" data-index-in-node=\"83\">PV<\/span>=nRT<\/span>). Physics dictates that as cabin pressure drops, your colon must expand like a vengeful balloon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">So, the next time you\u2019re at 30,000 feet, just remember: you aren\u2019t being rude, you\u2019re just a victim of thermodynamics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">Science is truly breath \u2026 taking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:400\">And the Post should really, <em>really <\/em>be taken as a serious news organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pulitzer-prize-material-the-washington-post-sniffs-out-the-truth-about-farting\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the tradition of serious journalism, The Washington Post on Monday cemented itself in the pantheon of legendary media outlets with this pressing headline: \u201cDo men or women have worse farts?
