What are farts made of? Can you ignite them?

The average human releases 0.5 to 1.5 litres (1 to 3 U.S. pints) of flatus a day by flatulating 12 to 25 times[1][2][3]. The primary constituents of flatulence are the non-odorous gases nitrogen (ingested), carbon dioxide (produced by aerobic microbes or ingested), and hydrogen (produced by some microbes and consumed by others), as well as lesser amounts of oxygen (ingested) and methane (produced by anaerobic microbes)[4]. Odors result from trace amounts of other components (often sulphur containing, see below).\n\nNitrogen is the primary gas released. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components, are flammable, and so flatulence is susceptible to catching fire. Not all humans produce flatus that contains methane. For example, in one study of the feces of nine adults, only five of the samples contained bacteria capable of producing methane[5]. Similar results are found in samples of gas obtained from within the rectum. The gas released during a flatus event frequently has a foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that are the result of protein breakdown. The incidence of odoriferous compounds in flatus increases from herbivores, such as cattle, to omnivores to carnivorous species, such as cats. Flatulence odor can also occur when there is a number of bacteria and/or feces in the anus while being expelled.

Farting is funny, especially if its like a conversation, ya know, you fart, them someone else farts.. its like butts are having a conversation, in their own language, rofl.

Well, it depends...not all farts are stinky...some farts are just air...while other farts are deadly gases...but if the priest cuts 1 that is stinky then by all means the fart will be stinky...anyways, what does sitting in a pew have to do with it?  The only thing that comes to mind about farting and pews is that if you are sitting just right then that bad boy fart will reverberate on the pew and make the fart sound louder.

Yes.  The methane and hydrogen, the main ingredients, are flamable.  The perfect circumstances?  That's a tough one.  Perhaps if you were a bit stoned so that it would be humorous?

gasoline is a volatile liquid, meaning it can evaporate at lower temperatures. these fumes are easily detectable by their smell at a gas station. but its not easy for a person to understand when the air has formed a combustible mixture with the gas fumes. if oxygen and gasoline fumes are present in adequate amounts even a small spark can ignite the air around you. this leads to spontaneous combustion. even using cellphones is unadvisable at gas stations because tiny sparks can be produced at the battery terminals.

FART means passing of intestinal gas from the anus\n\n\nIt is generated because to pass intestinal gas from the anus

It really means you are fun and nasty...\nBut basically yes... \nRead the composition here:\nNitrogen is the primary gas released.

Flatulence odor can also occur when there is a number of bacteria and/or feces in the anus while being expelled. A small amount of solid or liquid fecal matter in fine particulate aerosol form may also be expelled, and included, along with flatulence.

Wait until you get a fart that's really hard to push out.  That way when it does come out, it has some serious speed to it.  Faster air produces higher notes, regardless of where the air is coming from.

why do you ask are you a fart smeller fellar? well of couse we re all fart smellers  how can anyone not be? its not like we go around asking to smell farts  but lets face it farts are out there ok

Well.....beans make you fart, so i'll say beans.\n\n(Dinner should come with a show, shouldn't it?)

A fart is the cry of an imprisoned turd.  I'm not sure if the actual fart knows where it came from, but the turd apparently does, if it's screaming to get out.

Yeah, you can use H2S gas... Hydrogen Sulphid. With just100 parts H2S per a Million parts of Air, it will knock you out in less than a 2 seconds, stop your respiratory functions as it paralyzes your nervous system. It’s made by combining Hydrogen and Sulphur Gases together. \nWell, seeing it comes from crude oil, it is relatively easy to find and make.\nOne short note; if you do not get the person into a breathable atmosphere within 4 minutes and revive them, they will die.

For the most part, fire is a mixture of hot gases. Flames are the result of a chemical reaction, primarily between oxygen in air and a fuel, such as wood or propane. In addition to other products, the reaction produces carbon dioxide, steam, light, and heat. If the flame is hot enough, the gases are ionized and become yet another state of matter: plasma.

a whoopie cushin iz a thing u blow up and put it underneath someone's ass and when they sit on it it sounds like they farted........lol

Air is just a homogenous gas mixture, therefore you can make it if you dissolve all of the major components of air into a container. Or...you could run through millions of other experiments trying to release only certain elements in the container.

The biggest reason is how much gas is mixed in. But no - you do not make helium in there! Haha, though it does sound like Donald Duck whether y0u talk from your butt or inhale helium from a balloon.  The gas you make in the large intestine is mostly methane. (It's combustible - famous "blue darts" - try it)  Helium is not combustible - it's a noble gas.
