This reminds me of one of the pinnacles of Canadian culture, Kenny vs Spenny. In one episode titled “Who Can Blow the Biggest Farts?” they used a device that measures flatulence to judge who blew the biggest fart.
I assume with this underwear we all can participate in gamified flatulence with a global leader board.

I know this is worthwhile, especially with the rise in colorectal cancer in younger adults, perhaps this will help in early detection.
But I did take a double take and go “Is it April already?”

And I just invented a fart-tube to route gasses away from sensors - already assuming farts will be taxed.

When gas hits $5 a gallon at the pump, scientists get creative.

Meta should buy this and make people in 3rd world countries watch this in real time

Was just thinking about the surveillance aspect of this. Nobody would be able to pretend it was someone else who farted.

…and the Danes will tax it, just like they tax cow farts.

Well, given that both are destructive to the planet, that makes some sense.
(Also, cow burps are the bigger issue)

Clearly. Seems like the top concern for today's the powers that be.

Methane is the most harmful gas right now, but the solution for some reason is more money to the gov. Maybe we should do something about that meat industry
nullorempty 35 minutes ago [-]
Methane you say.
May be they should just stop the wars for now. Stop spilling oil into the seas. Stop dropping bombs. Stop all the crazy shit they are doing.
As far as meat is concerned - our bodies need meat and fat to stay healthy.

My first question was: who funded this? Seems like a candidate for a Proxmire Golden Fleece Award.
This research was supported by the University of Maryland, the Maryland Innovation Initiative Phase I and the UM Ventures Medical Device Development Fund.

I do think this has a chance of breaking records for clinical trial participation rates.

Future Ig Nobel candidate?
I signed up for the study. I like to participate in studies at the local college and I track my sleep and stuff daily on my watch. Kind of excited about this. I'll report back with my data if I get picked
Update: dang
Thank you for your interest in the Human Flatus Atlas and for your willingness to participate in our study.
Due to overwhelming demand, we are currently experiencing a temporary pause in onboarding new participants. At this time, we kindly ask that you save the personalized consent form link you received, as it will be required to continue your participation once we are ready to bring you on board.
We will send a notification once we have expanded capacity to accommodate all participants.
We are thrilled by the incredible response to this study and truly appreciate your patience and enthusiasm. We look forward to your participation.
Sincerely,
The Human Flatus Atlas Research Team

Ig Nobel is doing more for science than Nobel:
- It's fun.
- The prizes are accessible to young scientists who actually need the career boost from the publicity (as opposed to established scientists who are mostly boosting the prestige of the prize)
- They promote awareness of how diverse and awesome science is.

Small annoyance, the team name is missing an E.
Wish they had gone with The Human Enterologic Flatulence Atlas Research Team.

I wonder what comes after that, a tax for methane emissions?

You speak in jest but compared to other taxes that have been proposed.. I can't say that you'd be wrong

- imagine if you had superpowers to do anything
- i would replace everyone s underwear secretly with a bass base to emit a loud noise everytime someone farted
- imagine how many loud bops you would hear at the airport every second

This can potenitally help people actually tell if their microbiome is okay. Seems like an actually useful study and will be very helpful for doctors.

Finally, we might have proof that family member(X) truly is releasing biological weapons grade flatulence at the next holiday get together.
