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 ?

    One of those interesting facts I like and will bring up sometimes, the pound and the gram aren’t just different scales for the same thing since the pound is the measure of weight or force and the gram is the measure of mass. In the vast majority of cases most people encounter in everyday life they’ll be roughly interchangeable if you convert, most things being done at roughly 1g with extremely minor variations for location that won’t come up unless you’re doing super precise measurements, buoyancy won’t come into play for majority of things most people are measuring in day to day, etc.
