Explaining the science of fartsfrom @alanlinplus
[01]
Overview
The creator references his viral video of measuring his fart's sulfur content and, in response to audience requests, provides a detailed scientific explanation. He breaks down the 20 PPM reading, explains the evolutionary psychology behind the human reaction to hydrogen sulfide, presents a 'Fart Stench Analysis' chart to rate his own fart, and concludes by challenging his audience to surpass his measurement.

MEASURING THE SULFUR FROM MY FART MAXXING (SOUND ON)
informational · middle
Put 20 ppm in perspective Smell & discomfort scale • 0.5-1 ppm → Humans can smell it (rotten egg) • 5 ppm → "That's bad" • 10 ppm → OSHA's max safe level for 8 hours • 20 ppm → Eye-watering, gag-inducing, room-clearing
informational · middle
Why 20 ppm hits so hard • ~20x above smell threshold • Triggers disgust + threat reflex • Impossible to ignore • Zero ambiguity about source presence You didn't just fart. You changed the energy of the room.
informational · middle
Why people think it's dangerous Because hydrogen sulfide triggers an ancient danger reflex. Evolutionarily, this smell meant: • Rotting food • Anaerobic decay • Pathogens • Unsafe environments So your brain reacts with: • Panic • Disgust • "Leave immediately"

FART STENCH ANALYSIS PPM | SMELL LEVEL | SOCIAL DAMAGE 20 | ROOM-CLEARING | 8.5/10 (Evacuation) 30+ | War crime | 10/10 (HR involved)
Transcript
This is over a million of you watching me measure the stench of my farts. You asked for the science behind our fart maxing experiment to create the most vile fart in the name of science. Fiber daddy is here to break it down. Stick around till the end where I'll give my fiber daddy rating on my own fart. My toot produced 20 PPM of hydrogen sulfide on the industrial gas meter. Humans start to smell stink at one PPM. 20 PPM is 20 times the smell threshold in what we classify as eye watering, gag inducing, and room clearing. We're wired to sense danger when we smell hydrogen sulfide because evolutionarily, it meant rotting corpses, pathogens, and unsafe environments, which triggers reactions of panic, disgust, and GTFO. We estimate the upper limits of human fart potential to be at roughly 30 PPM, which puts my 20 PPM fart at an 8.5 out of 10. Not dangerous, but extremely persuasive. Are any of you willing to attempt the 30 PPM threshold? Follow and let me know in the comments.
