“Zen digesters” rarely fart. “Hydrogen hyperproducers” fart a lot. Scientists are investigating what is typical.

    Not sure how smart undies could accomplish that. Unless they come with some sort of insertable environmental monitoring probe…

      I mean, I can tell without any tech. If my fart smells very strongly like shit, there’s shit in my butt that needs to come out. 🤷‍♂️

        I guess I was assuming they wanted a forewarning system, to prevent finding out the hard way that it was a shart not a fart

          Maybe something like a meat thermometer would work. Probe sits inside your butt and gives a warning beep when it detects poo instead of gas.
