A man from Texas has a new Mercedes with a sensor that monitors the air quality in the cabin. And he’s been testing various things to see how much they affect the quality.

(By the way, I don’t know WHERE this guy lives in the Lone Star State, but in another video of his he says he’s Texan. That’s all I could find out about him.)

It started when his friend was vaping in his car and they saw the air quality get MUCH worse for a few seconds. (Warning! The video contains swear words.) But the best video is the one in which he tests a FART.

He slid down in his seat to get right next to where the sensor was.

(Here’s the video. He farts at 1:13)

This story led me down a rabbit hole of “fart trivia” so I thought I’d share it!

• On May 11, 1972, Paul Hunn farted for an incredible two minutes and 42 seconds, setting a record. The fart was recorded at 118.1 decibels, which is as loud as sitting in the front row at your favorite rock band’s concert.
• On average, people, including women, pass gas between 14 and 23 times a day. However, the frequency can vary from person to person. Some people fart only a few times a day, others up to 40 times.
• Cows are considered to be the animals that fart the most gases. They produce about 100-200 kilograms of methane annually, mainly through flatulence. Their digestive process produces a lot of gas because they swallow a lot of air to help the microorganisms in their intestines digest grass.
