In 2003, Popular Science magazine ranked Levitt’s “flatus odor judge” as the worst job in science.
Somehow, just now, my job sucks a little less.
What are worse farts? Good farts or bad farts. Loud farts or silent but deadly. Crop dusting or rim rattlers?
It depends…the sulphuric odor is not the same after eating some salami & prosciutto than it is after eating some cabbage & broccoli.
What happens if you have prosciutto WITH cabbage and broccoli?

Now, if I’m trying to go nuclear, I just have to eat anything dairy

While I was in college I had a part-time job taking hydrogen sulfide readings at sewage lift stations.
It’s the equivalent of testing for farts from the entire city.
I believe that might have been a worse job.
I’ve seen and smelled things.
Very difficult to research bc women don’t fart in public or near people. They are discrete.
The ratio of guys farting to women where we actually can compare is 100,000 guy farts vs 1 women fart
We will never know bc we lack evidence on the women side of that research
.
I’m glad they don’t bc it could ruin sex appeal
Lol
i know why neptune and uranus are blue and how voyager one and voyager two made it thru the wall of fire outside the heliosphere; i refuse to click that link; that’s bevis and butthead knowledge. ![]()
I thought Uranus was brown. If it isn’t, some superior being must have bleached it.
Uranus is blue because its methane absorbs the red wavelength and the blue is reflected back out.
I don’t know about worst, but mine are definitely the loudest. My wife always knows when I’m awake. I do my best work in the morning.
When I was a HS teacher, there was invariably one kid who would push out a toxic cloud, with a great deal of ceremony, of course. I usually responded, “Did you say something?”
Flatus odor judge. Is this a salaried or hourly job?
women have it the worst
On a related note, is there a way to increase the malodorous factor of my own gas? I like plenty of elbow room wherever I sit.
I have had good luck with bean and cheese nachos washed down with multiple PBR’s.
