This is a question Bad Smells

"I once left the world's stinkiest guff in a lift before sending it down to a group of Germans, all bustling to be first in the doors upon its arrival," giggles Boarders. Tell us your stories involving farts, noxious gasses and unpleasant smells.

Ah, but you haven't done a fair test.
For some reason (I know not the science), farts which bubble through water tend to smell worse than they otherwise would.

So, it might not be that you concentrated it that made it terrible... it might be some chemical transition that occurred before it even reached your nose.

Short answer... underwater farts have more carboxylic acids in them.

Longer answer...
...when your fart breaks the surface it is still at full concentration and it's half the usual distance from your nose.

Did I really spend time thinking that through? FFS!

So
Farting is safer in shallower waters
