Three days with a fart-detecting wearable unlocks gut-health clues

A Gizmodo tester wears the University of Maryland’s Smart Underwear fart detector for three days, attaching a clip-on sensor to track hydrogen in farts and infer gut microbiome activity. The study aims to establish baselines for normal fart patterns, compare them against diet (including a planned low-FODMAP day), and contribute data to the Human Flatus Atlas. Findings from the test aligned with diary entries, showing variability in fart frequency and suggesting potential uses for personalized gut-health guidance and even cancer-prevention insights, with plans to scale up recruitment and commercialize the tech via Ventoscity LLC.

The passenger's behavior, including loud and condescending comments, led to flight attendants intervening and ultimately asking him to leave the plane. Other passengers expressed relief when he was removed, and the flight continued with a slight delay.

"Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco Debate Bathroom Etiquette: Is Farting in Front of Your Partner Acceptable?"

Former NFL player Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson revealed that he knew his fiancée Sharelle Rosado was the one for him when she farted in front of him. Johnson, known for his frugality, took Rosado to McDonald's on their first date to see the real her. He proposed to her a couple of years later and they are planning a destination wedding in the Bahamas. Johnson disagreed with his friend Shannon Sharpe, who said he couldn't go to the bathroom or pass gas in front of a woman, and shared that his grandmother once told him that when a woman can use the bathroom and leave the door open, she's the one. Some fans agreed with Johnson, while others sided with Sharpe.
