Speaker 1 (00:00):
I like asking questions, and the reason why is because
the fun begins when you start researching for answers such
as why do some farts stink and others don't? Plus
when did the physical act of farting become a child's
forever game. My name is Erro. I'm a daily writer,
a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do
nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it

(00:22):
the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah,
it's my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
We as people tend to throw things to the side
because we think we're going to deal with it later on. Yeah. Right,
when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clear. This

(00:45):
is the daily Mess question, why do some farts stink
and others don't? This is not child's play. If there's
something wrong inside your adult body, the scent can be
a very important feature for doctors. So why do some
farts stink and others don't? Medical officials aren't afraid to
answer this because they're very interested in what gases you've

(01:08):
got trapped inside that gut. The majority of us are
filled with nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and sometimes methane.
The combination creates odorless farts. The smell comes into play
when you add sulfur compounds such as eggs, broccoli, garlic, beans,
and even meat. Your gut bacteria also plays a major

(01:30):
role here. For some your body produces more sulfur than others.
That can cause plenty of stink. And we can't leave
out digestion speed. When food sits inside your gut longer,
bacteria has more time to break it down, releasing odor
causing gases. So silent farts are just gas. Strong smelly

(01:50):
farts are sulfur heavy. Your gut is doing all it
can to break things down with bacteria. Hey, coming up next,
when did farting become the lifelong childhood game? Hey? Thanks
for coming back to the daily mess. Admitted or not,
we've all laughed at it, not once, but several times,

(02:11):
the sound of someone farting? Who turned this into a
lifetime childhood game? First and foremost, it is well documented
that nobody gets credit for creating fart jokes. The historians
do say that we've been laughing at farts for thousands
of years. It's looked upon as being one of the
oldest forms of humor in ancient times. The oldest recorded

(02:34):
fart joke actually comes from Samara around nineteen hundred BC.
That's before christ. Playwrights in ancient Greece use fart jokes
to beef up their comedy. In the Middle Ages, court
jesters and other performers were known for depending on farts
to be part of the act. One of the most
remembered funny people from the twelfth century was Roman the Farter,

(02:57):
who was rewarded land for being so funny with his farts. Today,
fart humor is everywhere, from mel Brooks to Eddie Murphy,
South Park, Family Guy, and yes, even your own living room.
I'm MARYL and that's the daily mess.
