At least they have a proper baseline and aren't cropping to exaggerate the results.

I always start my graphs at -1
I'd stage a Research Ethics Committee, to make sure their data collection methods don't have any unforeseen consequences for people who haven't consented to them
While this graph is speed over time, it would be more beneficial to measure particles over time so that you can also approximate the volume of each fart under each curve.
I think he graph is simply titled fart speed? The bottom part may measure audibility
How would they measure the number of particles in the first place tho ?
They already have the speed measurement, they just need to multiply that by the sphincter diameter.
Taste test?
How do they measure the speed?
Using a Pitot tube
a P'Toot tube?
Pooticulomometer.
You follow up with questions on the methodology and data collection, whether they're additionally factoring in what they've eaten and when, are there confounding variables, etc.
The speed of farts is an interesting question. Definitely appreciate any new research.
Thanks for saying something because I read it as "Farts Peed" and was concerned.
Very curious how they're measuring speed....
Reaction time in elevators.
Edit: now I want to make a fart simulator and hide it in an elevator with cameras. I imagine this is peak science in several fields
We got fluid dynamics, sociology, biology.
BAP = 10
PFOOOOOOOooooooo = 1.5
So y is speed, but what's x?
I'm guessing Audio, but no clue.
This belongs in dataisbeautiful.
Very close to the brown limit
