Here’s The Scientific Reason You’re In Love With The Smell Of Your Own Farts

Ever wonder why the ass gas of another person makes you immediately want to vomit but you could sit for hours in your own gases and never care. In fact, you actually ENJOY the scent of your own toots.

We all love our own ass blasts. But why? The people at AsapSCIENCE explain in this handy video that we prefer the smell of our own farts because “it’s both familiar and contains a genetic signature that is unique to each of us.” It’s probably the same reason we love rubbing our hands under our pits and smelling our stank. We made it.

The video also explains that our tolerance to others farting is dependent on age, culture, and personality. I’m going to add one more — room size.
