Can You Light A Fart On Fire?
Ever wondered if you can truly light a fart on fire, or if that's just a myth perpetuated by cartoons and campfire tales? In this episode of 'The Short Answer,' presented by ScienceABC, we dive into the bubbly science behind flatulence. Join us as we explore the origins of intestinal gas, the different ways it builds up in our bodies, and why some of this gas is actually flammable. Learn about the key players—hydrogen and methane—and how they interact with oxygen to create those fiery effects. We’ll also discuss the practicality (or impracticality) of ever using farts as a fuel source. So, tune in for an episode that’s both informative and amusing, as we answer the burning question: 'Can You Light A Fart On Fire?'
