Farts say more about your health than you think — now, scientists are listening
Story by Max Levy • Yesterday 6:30 AM
 

As David Ancalle opened video after video of diarrhea this year, it struck him: This is not what he expected to be doing for his Ph.D.
 
Ancalle, a mechanical engineering student at Georgia Tech who researches fluid dynamics, is currently working to demystify the acoustics of urination, flatulence, and diarrhea. His team is training AI to recognize and analyze the sound of each bathroom phenomenon; in fact, research suggests that tracking the flow of our excretions could benefit public health.

What’s new — Ancalle and Maia Gatlin, an aerospace engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), created a mechanical device loaded with pumps, nozzles, and tubes meant to recreate the physics — and sounds — of human bodily function. They named it the Synthetic Human Acoustic Reproduction Testing machine (yep, S.H.A.R.T.).

S.H.A.R.T. is now preparing an AI algorithm to one day pick up on deadly diseases like cholera and stop an outbreak in its tracks, according to a presentation at last week’s American Physical Society’s annual Fluid Dynamics conference. Ancalle and Gatlin’s results haven’t yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Well, yes, because then it would be about defecation, not about flatulence.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

In Jewish life, one must say a blessing for every fart, for every piss, for every bowel movement.
Those things equal life. True fact: Every time I take a morning dump, I thank God. I really do, that is what life is.

When you stop doing that ... not good.

Well, I do admit I pray when I'm constipated.

Prayer after going to the bathroom: Asher Yatzar

Blessed are You, Adonai, our G-d, King of the universe, who formed man with wisdom and created within him many openings and many hollow spaces. It is obvious and known before Your Seat of Honor that if even one of them would be opened, or if even one of them would be sealed, it would be impossible to survive and to stand before You even for one hour. Blessed are You, Adonai, who heals all flesh and acts wondrously.

“It feels weird to say and I do not think many people know it even exists, but it shows us, once again, how Judaism has a focus on slowing down and showing gratitude for something many of us don't even think about,” Appel says of the rather esoteric recitation. “The blessing forces us to take a moment and be grateful for a body that works and allows us to accomplish the things we do every day."

I also thank the Lord for a good BM... it is a blessing.
