So yeah, as the title says. If you fart do you become lighter because you loose mass or does the loss of buoyancy make you heavier ?

    If it’s lighter than air, it’s lifting you while it’s inside of you…

    If it’s not there, it’s not lifting you, and you’re heavier.

    Think of a balloon that is so old it doesn’t rise anymore. It just stays neutrally bouyant. In this case it’s even less than that. It is a completely and totally negligible amount of difference. But while holding a fart you’re technically a very shitty balloon.
