wearable computing is ALL the rage.
billions have been spent investing in wrist bands that count
your steps, on chest bands that count your heart beat, and
on
all other sorts of completely idiottic consumerist devices
that
the rest of the world outside the self congratulatory tech
crowds
of the united states would care about.
but what about farting? a lot of people legitimately would
like to know how gassy they are. they also would like to
know if their farts are offending people with offensive
smells. farts also reflect one's personal health and so there
must be some silicon valley model of monetizing this
metric
for profit.
it's not always readily apparent , so how about a personal
metric that counts the number and measures the intensity
of
my farts. it can be mounted on a belt clip just above my
ass
crack.
how will we measure cow farts?

laugh all you want but the u.s. gov is now considering regulating cow farts. and burps. you can't make this gas up. [teslaberry, Apr 01 2014]

principium individuationis? |

[-] because the only capitals were in the wrong
place. |

//Excellent idea, which I endorse. |
|

However, I am prompted to enquire whether your
shift key is inoperative, or whether it's just an
affectation.

//Ah yes, that cute waste. |
|
| |
Welcome. There is no charge for using capital letters
on this site.

I too must confess to being distracted by this
punctuation anarchy. I will hold my bone but may be
forced to say harrumph should the problem not be
rectified. |
|
| |
That being said, I could see bunning this as something
that would fit with the frat life style. You could even
get competitions going. |

Looks like the vjam brought about all kinds of bodily fluids
and gases. I'm waiting for one with mucus. |
|

You could hang an abacus over your ass crack and
then it could double as a seat. |
|
| |
//but may be forced to say harrumph should the problem not be
rectified. // |
|
| |
Heaven forfend ... that way lies the downward spiral to saying "tut, tut"
accompanied by looking down and shaking the head slowly. |
|
| |
There's only one person here who is licensed to
eschew capitals, and I'm not even completely
comfortable with that. |
|
| |
On the other hand, [slab] doesn't seem to read her
ideas after posting, so perhaps she hasn't noticed
that her shift key is broken. |

Add a miniature, form-fitting O2 sensor and catalytic
converter to scrub your hydrocarbon emissions and
mitigate excessive NOX levels. But needs a feedback
(er, feedbag) circuit to regulate said individual's fuel
intake to avoid "running rich". |
|
| |
this almost sounds like a joke but the u.s. is
considering regulating cow farts. |
|
| |
Cows farts are methane. Cars can run on methanol. |
|
| |
Are human farts methanal? |
|
| |
Puns & buns aside, I do want to have another pass at
improving this idea. |
|
| |
Let's make the device run off the power generated by the
harvested energy-rich gas. |
|
| |
As for capitalization, some folks here are case-over
sensitive. I collaborate with non English speakers
(including teenagers who were born in the USA) & their
ideas & hard work compensate for their bad grammar. I
know compilers that are less case sensitive than these
folks. |
|
| |
//Are human farts methanal? // |
|
| |
I hope not. Methanal is also known as formaldehyde. If you find yourself farting it, check with your doctor in case you have been embalmed. |
|
| |
As for capitalization: the rules of spelling and punctuation are entirely arbitrary, which is precisely why it is important that people use the same set of rules. |
|
| |
Most people have learned to read text in a certain way, and every deviation from that way requires just a tiny, teeny bit of extra processing, which is distracting and irritating if it happens all the time. It's like running your hand over silk, and encountering the odd grain of sand. |
|
| |
When writing follows the rules, the writing becomes invisible and you can concentrate on the content. When somebody - either as an affectation or through lack of knowledge - does not follow the rules, you have to pay attention to the writing instead of the content. |
