Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier?

I’d say you loose weight. Imagine opening a bottle of Coke, the gas comes out, and the whole surrounding is covered in Coke sprinkles. I suspect the same happens when you fart. Your scale may have high precision, but your farts don’t.

Except if the gas applies pressure at the right angle it will create a force that makes you weigh more.
