"instead of describing it as wanting to know what chipmunk farts smell like [...] can we use a more clinical term of what you're saying?" — @nsreed

That's the story about how we invented chipmunk butt plugs with tubes to concentrate VOCs.

Now I need to describe what farts are to another friend.https://t.co/0E0rCMmOhb

Fart at plants enough and they might change their gene expression. No one talks about this.https://t.co/eQSMcYOTkK

Now @nsreed is beginning to understand."Do chipmunks create fecalplugs like hibernating bears? That has to be related."

Pioneering research into hibernating rodent gut bacteria w/ human olfaction."microbes are gas-making fools. They eat up unused food in your large intestine, like fiber and other carbohydrates we don't digest, and churn out a bunch of gases as waste." https://t.co/7mcr52qcwI

The application and use of human olfaction for the selection of biologically relevant bacteria metabolites sourced from the environment in a natural setting, using insights from experimental methods involving smelling chipmunk farts.

Now @nsreed is insisting that the butt plug is essential because we need to know the exact volume of gas production. And I'm remembering that I know how to build this for humans.https://t.co/d16EDBg2yK

Nobody talks about it, but a battery powered fart sensor that you can strap to chipmunks would be absolutely wonderful for monitoring spatial and temporal factors related to gut bacteria's evolution.

The M Prize being won by triggering torpor-esque state via calorie restriction. Which would shift the gut microbiome in much the same way as what happens if you select for successive breeds of mice (*cough* Yoda *cough*) & don't realize you were also selecting for mice microbes.

So, @nsreed and I have concluded that germ free chipmunks shouldn't fart.https://t.co/v8jNjphqVs

The autistic squirrels will be giant, and anxious (seek hugs), and seek out warmth too, so they will make good pets. This is how I intend to fund my empire.They like to eat brains tho.https://t.co/GanL81BTYK

Morty, you don't get it Morty! They stick Tylenol in the water when doing experiments on Hibernating Ground Squirrels Morty. No one studies it's impact on brain development Morty! We need to measure it's impact on farts and semen!!!https://t.co/mUzGncaLYK

Morty, you don't get it Morty. If people let you measure their semen, they'll gonna let you measure anything, Morty. We can get all the measurements!And Morty, Then we'll get the data we need to understand human hibernation. We can't do this without counting semen, Morty. https://t.co/rcrVaYLYJD

Tylenol is against my religion now."Turmeric (curcumin) appears to [maybe be usable] as a stand-alone analgesic, or in analgesic combinations as part of opioid-, NSAID- or paracetamol (acetaminophen)-sparing strategies." https://t.co/bR0QXgF1EMhttps://t.co/Toscyht5x2

We should probably figure out if Rhesus Macaques with 'humanized gut' end up with having autistic offspring if they are given relevant doses of Tylenol during gestation.https://t.co/6a3NYCA1r4But that's boring to me, I want autistic farting squirrels damnit.

Haha. Oh no."Several published studies, both direct and indirect, have connected [tylenol], a commonly used over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic medication, with semen quality and male infertility, although as yet this connection is unclear. " https://t.co/WXtA3HoYij
