Is a fart a fart before you fart it?
Just wondering
Gallardo994, It’s a quantum superposition of being both a fart and a number 2. You never know until you observe the results.
ArtVandelay, 
Schrödingers Fart
MudSkipperKisser, …or poo
DosDude, Schrödingers shart
stolid_agnostic, Like a volcano, when it’s still inside you, it is magma.
Bizarroland, 
Maybe it should be called a fubble?
Starglasses, Hmm. Lava comes from Magma. M is just after L.
Using that logic, a Fart comes from Gagma, which some people truly can eject.
OwlYaYeet, That’s fitting cause I’m gagging right now
DosDude, Like a vulcano, it’s either dormant, active or erupting. So dormant is no gas, active is gas, erupting is letting the gas out, ie. farting
NeoNachtwaechter, There is a time, a very early time, when it has not found it’s way yet. Then it can become either a fart or a belch.
Painintheass, Or the dreaded, felch
xtremeownage, It could end up being a shart.
MudSkipperKisser, The art of fart
Kolanaki, 
Is a fart the gas itself, or the passing of the gas? The definition says it is the passing of the gas. Therefore, a fart isn’t a fart until it’s been farted. Before that, it’s just gas in the ass.
rmuk, It’s the lava/magma debate all over again.
ALostInquirer, Is it a passing of the gas if no one’s around to smell it?
Eh_I, 
Nope, could be a turd.
AmidFuror, It's a fart from the moment of conception.
Chainweasel, Unless it’s a burp
Jimmycrackcrack, By definition, it is not.
JohnDClay, If you hold a fart in long enough, could it become a burp? Or does that only go one way, from potential burp to fart?
null, Wait, are you implying that if you hold a burp long enough, it becomes a fart?
JohnDClay, Yes, the gas has got to go somewhere…
leaky_shower_thought, I’ve heard of a person that can’t burp. or rather has an extreme discomfort in burping due to some accident that hit the shoulder neck alignment.
Said person also is an expert at how to not butt clap farts so yeah.
pixeltree, Possible TMI warning, I’m into stuffing my butt with dildos and will occasionally do a deep clean with a large enema, around 6-8 liters. When I do that much it pushes the gas in my bowels back through to my stomach and it makes me burp. Gross but neat

bstix, That’s like asking if the universe existed before the big bang.
rhythmisaprancer, 
I've always said it's better to burp it and taste it than to fart it and waste it. YMMV
spacemanspiffy, I think yes. At the very least, it is a fart bubble.
gregorum, That’s when it has exited the hanger, but is still on the runway

gregorum, At the risk of breaking the metaphor: no it’s not, and there isn’t one, thank goodness.
oillut, Schrödinger’s fart until proven otherwise
thefartographer, As a professional Fartographer, I can confirm this is the correct answer. Sometimes you’re feeling confident that you’re hanging out with a fart, but then it comes out to you as poop.
Then you have to tell it, “look, I still appreciate you as something I created, but I can’t support your choice of being poop.” And then you tell it that it has until the weekend to get out of your pants.
4am, Where do you set up the seismometer? 🤔
lando55, Near the crack
thefartographer, Bravo
ivanafterall, 
You can't study it directly without bringing it out into the world and measuring it, but by doing so, it immediately collapses into a fart.
TonyHawksPoTater, 
I think that a fart is specifically gas passing out of your intestines. Until it does that, it's just gas.
