  • CW: Slop, body humor, Minions

    So my boys recieved Minion Fart Rifles for Christmas from people who should have known better. The toys are made up of a compact fog machine combined with a vortex gun and a speaker. The fog machine component is fueled by a mixture of glycerin and distilled water that comes in two scented varieties: banana and farts. The guns make tidy little smoke rings that can stably deliver a payload tens of feet in still air.

    Anyway, as soon as they were fired up, Ammo Anxiety reared its ugly head, so I went in search of a refill recipe. (Note: I searched ā€œMinions Vortex Gun Refill Recipeā€) and goog returned this fartifact*:

    194 dB, you say? Alvin Meshits? The rabbit hole beckoned.

    The ā€œsource linksā€ were mostly unrelated except one, which was a reddit thread that lazily cited ChatGPT generating the same text almost verbatim in response to the question, ā€œWhat was the loudest ever fart?ā€

    Luckily, a bit of detectoring turned up the true source, an ancient Uncyclopedia article’s ā€œFun Factsā€ section:

    https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Fartium

    The loudest fart ever recorded occurred on May 16, 1972 in Madeline, Texas by Alvin Meshits. The blast maintained a level of 194 decibels for one third of a second. Mr. Meshits now has recurring back pain as a result of this feat.

    Welcome to the future!
