Why We Built This

Let's be honest. Farts are funny. They have always been funny. They will always be funny. Even the ancient Romans thought so — there are fart jokes in Aristophanes. Humanity's love of flatulence humour predates the written word, and we felt it was criminally underserved in the web app market. We're filling a void. (Pun entirely intended.)

Finally, empirical data to settle the great debates. Was it the lamb chop or the Brussels sprouts? Whose fault was it really? Now you can pre-craft your evening's output, share the link with witnesses, and let the science decide. CraftedFarts: the forensic tool for domestic disputes since 2025.

The gut microbiome is one of the most actively researched areas in medicine. The bacteria in your intestine are metabolising your food right now, producing hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide as direct byproducts. The compounds that make gas smell — hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide — exist in concentrations measurable in parts per billion. We wanted to make that fascinating chemistry accessible and actually funny.

A shocking number of people don't connect their dietary choices to digestive discomfort. Nobody tells you that cooling cooked potatoes creates resistant starch that bacteria feast on for 8 hours. Nobody explains that raw onion fructans are entirely non-digestible and will linger in your colon until Monday. We wanted a genuinely useful, searchable resource for understanding which foods cause gas, and why — with the scientific mechanisms explained.

This one's serious. Colorectal cancer rates in adults under 50 have been climbing for over three decades, and many younger people aren't getting screened. Changes in bowel habits are often the first sign — but they're also embarrassing to discuss. By building a space where gut health is normalised (and occasionally hilarious), we hope to lower the barrier to having that conversation with a doctor. The Science Blog is our vehicle for genuinely important health information.

We built a local AI (running on Ollama) that analyses your specific meal combination and writes a detailed, scientifically grounded report on the expected gastric output. It breaks down each ingredient's contribution, estimates volume in millilitres, scores stench on a 1–10 scale, and provides actual dietary advice. It's the most over-engineered fart predictor in human history. We're proud of that.
