So the loud ones are typically made out of gases such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide.

So it's really from swallowed air.

So as you're eating, you swallow a certain amount of air.

If you drink a carbonated beverage, there's air in there.

And then those gases need to come out.

And those are usually large volume gases.

So there's a lot of that gas.

And when there's large volume moving from a small little hole, then that causes a vibration and that causes that loud noise.

The silent ones, typically small volume, so small amounts of gas being produced by whatever fermentation of food in your gut.

And then it's just a tiny little bit of air that escapes, but that is silent.

So I have to say I have not thought too much about the heat, although I do find that the hot ones come with the silent ones.

So my suspicion is that the hot ones are, there's extra heat created by that fermentation process.

So that bacteria, when they're producing that gas, they use energy and part of that energy is, produces heat.

So hot and silent.

Is it because of your farts or her farts?

Hers.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

My whole goal of my social media platform is to normalize the uncomfortable conversations about poop, farting, your burping, digestive systems, because if you don't talk about it, you don't know it's a problem.

You don't know what's normal and you don't know when to get help for it.
