When I fart, whilst alone in my room, I make little or no effort to waft the smell away; nor do I change my breathing orifice, which is usually my nose.
But, if it were someone else’s fart, I would be much less likely to sit still and remain breathing through my nose.
My question is this:
Can one subconsciously obtain valuable information about their digestive system when inhaling their own farts ?
mmmmm in a word no, if theres any problems to notice youre gonna have to consciously notice in order to do something about it.
Is your question close to can you tell when a fart is yours even when you don’t realize who did it?
Yes you can obtain valuable information. Like don’t eat that stuff any more it makes you fart. Your own body smells don’t bother you because you are immune to it since you live with it.
Males have little problems with their own body odors anyway. I think it has something to do with male strutting and competing, like a peacock.
Some how males can turn farts into a competitive sport. We all know that sports started out as competiions for mating and group leader. How farts evolved into this arena is beyond me. 
I’m not sure.
How could one fart without knowing that one has farted ? I’m talking cheek-flapping vibrations here. Of course
one could ’ part the pillows ’ and create a relatively silent offering, also known as a whistler; but would that not
necessitate a conscious effort of some kind ?
It’s not a competition — It’s a way of killing any ’ gay demons ’ which may have infiltrated the group.
As though this were a solely male trait…
That’s because you are starting in the wrong place - we never were pack animals, we have not evolved, we never were a cave-dwelling species like the evolutionists and anthropologists would have you believe. The notion of the ‘alpha male’ is a 20th century one, based on no direct observation of humans 100,000 years ago. It’s a great piece of metaphysics, but it means nothing outside of its own claims. It sure as hell isn’t the basis for an explanation of all current human behaviour.
Perhaps there is something to this. What if the scent of an air-biscuit confirmed for primitive man that a person was strong and healthy, that proper, successful digestion had occured, that the bowels were working and the organs in general.
What would you think about an air-biscuit that had no odor? You would become suspicious, I suspect.
Smelling an air-biscuit is an incremental aspect of the will to power in general. It is the instinct to seek out and confirm active metabolism and digestion, which is a sign of strength. The air-biscuit is a representation of the growth of the organism and the cell replication resulting from the consumption of organic compounds, conversion, and energy or work.
A well sounding air-biscuit, which is expressed with force and which is rich in odor, is fundamental to identifying a healthy organism. I would even go so far as to call the air-biscuit an archetype.
I think there is something to dhjtnergb’s ideas. We are used to the smell of our own farts, so they are not particularly unpleasant. From experience, we become familiar enough that we feel there’s nothing too nasty about them. The foreign, potentially dangerous smell of other people’s farts make them much more unpleasant.
I also believe it’s important to know how my farts smell at any given time, so that I know how risky it would be to let one fly in public.
It may sound gross but the BEST way to confirm you are eating well and digesting properly is to ‘inspect’ your bowel movements and ‘analyze’ your flateunce.
And you are NOT immune to your own cheese. After a night of mexican food and Senior Tequila my scent is not something I am immune to… far from it.
Ok, fair enough. I still think other people’s farts are going to be more unpleasant. Another reason has to do with your control of the experience. If you fart, you can prepare yourself for what’s coming because you know roughly what, when, and where you’ll smell it. But you’re not psychologically prepared for someone else’s farts. The less warning, the more unpleasant – hence the name “silent but deadly”.
My reply was tongue in cheek, no offense intended just a wee bit of humor. Pack speciies is a better description than herd or hive. Pack creatures can survive without the pack for a time and then come back to it. herd or hive need to stay with the group.
No, Alpha personalities, thats funny. The other word for it would be dominant personality.
Women strut just as males do, odor is important to females strutting. Try getting in a car with multiple females going out for a night on the town and they all have on different perfumes. I love my friends but, at that point I take my own car or stay home. I fear chemical combustion in close quarters. The smell will get your senses utterly confused.
Male farting though is an odd non mating competitive sport. No leadership is on the line. It is just a bizzare humorful competition. Granted it is generally for young males. Older males seem to grow out of the competition stage. They move to torturing their wives and children with them instead.
The infamous pull my finger game, Fluff the blankets towards the wife and snicker an apology game. Fart in the car with the windows closed during bad weather game, claiming that you don’t smell a thing game. That one sucks because the way cars are made now the driver, generally the male, has dominant control over the windows.
There is something so peacockish about the pride men have in their farts. 
Trust me, I used to work in a late night pizza takeaway when I was about 17. I saw and smelt hundreds of women on an average night so I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Amazing the places don’t explode is it not?
I have never been a female to wear perfume. Keep clean and there is no need. All my friends do though. For some reason they feel at times that I should wear a false odor. Now that one has always confused me. I have had them be very insistant with it. I have capitulated once or twice. Both times there seemed to be a reaction of relief. When I don’t, It is like I have committed a breach of trust or insulted them in some minor way. Other females confuse the heck out me most times. Possibly because I was raised by males.
Did you know you can inherit them? Seriously, I came up with the theory like in 3rd grade. For some reason when you smell someones gas yours seems to smell the same later. But for some reason if a 24 hour period goes by, or sleep it doesn’t happen… possibly because you don’t remember. However, this theory would hold up because every fart would have to smell the same… So maybe somehow new farts can be created.
Whatever the case, it seems many times your farts will smell just like someone elses later that day if you perhaps remember theres.

You could fart in your sleep, then wake up later to wonder who fluffed a butt muffin
Not always. Haven’t you ever been in a situation where 2 or 3 people who you are very close to and would admit it claim they didn’t do it? And you think you didn’t either, someone had to unless someone wasn’t honest. However, i’ve been around my father and brother before and had this happen, you can unconsciously do it, or better subconciously probably.
My question is, don’t you have a job, or school, or any form of real life you could occupy yourself with other than asking such useless questions?
LMAO
It sure is the strangest question I’ve seen on here for a while but hey, replies aren’t demanded at gunpoint.
I don’t think the human nose is quite sensitive enough to gauge info reliably about their digestive systems. Were noses strong enough, a brief whiff should be enough; using the word ‘inhale’ reminds me of a breathing action more similar to killing off a juicy cone than assessing one’s waft.
Regarding Sirebrum’s first point, I think aversion to others’ farts and indifference to your own demonstrates the power of belief in altering one’s perception of sense-data. If I think the fart is mine, it’s all good; but if my mate then claims it for himself, I’m repulsed. Just like how meat can be so tasty before you’re told it is in fact kangeroo anus. Weird, but all too human lol
Hi there, ssssailor . . . Welcome to MUNDANE BABBLE . . . Love your pink avatar. 
I bet your favourite porn star spends half of her wages on pre-shoot colonic irrigation.
Imagine that.
