Farts are gross, yet occasionally funny, and ultimately an inevitable part of family life. Although farting might seem uncouth, the scientific consensus is that farts are nothing to worry over, and couples should neither shy away from nor feel ashamed of passing gas in front of each other. In fact, holding in farts might be an unhealthy practice, and it can definitely be an unsavory one — trapped intestinal gas can be reabsorbed into the bloodstream only to reemerge as bad breath. At the end of the day, farts are sometimes just the GI system’s way of saying “I love you” — and everyone benefits from backing off and letting nature take its course. Here’s what you need to know about farts and your health.
People who think farts are funny may not be the most mature, but they’re not alone either. Farts satisfy three different philosophical theories that help to explain why some things are funnier than others, one study found. Superiority theory suggests that humor is rooted in dominance (and occasionally aggression) and that there’s nothing more aggressive than letting one rip. Incongruity theory states that things are funny when they’re inappropriate, which farts definitely are. And finally, relief theory explains that people laugh to relieve tension, and there’s no better release than, well, a fart. So if your partner is not laughing, science says they should be. I call this 'Fart Sniffy'
