We love AsapSCIENCE around here – it’s one of our favorite YouTube channels. Every week or so, the folks at AsapSCIENCE answer real scientific queries with the help of illustrations, presenting some of the most-enjoyable 2-3 minute videos around.

This time, they’ve bested themselves. Behold, the greatest scientific question ever known to man – are silent farts worse?

YES! Silent but deadly is a real thing. Yeah, science!
