Alireza Mohtashami, and how would they even know that? Grains of sand, maybe, trees, no.

You got the weight/ mass units grams ond kilograms mixed up regarding the fart!
0.5 kilograms is 500 grams. Producing 0.5 kg of fart matter during 24 hours, if one fart is 0.0371 grams, would require 561 farts per hour, or roughly 9 farts per minute . That is one blast every 7 seconds.
I don’t think so.

Ladybug not ladybird
Michael Stafford
Richard Perkins, they are known as ladybirds in the United Kingdom. I doubt they fly at 60mph too though!
Bill Knott
there are about 1 billion stars in the Milky Way. There are more than 3 trillion trees on earth.

mldopeydoc, add a little rum - as an antiseptic
Elsy O. Stromberg
Chriss Crockford, No. And no way there are more trees than stars given how incredibly vast the universe is!
Elsy O. Stromberg
Stress and anxiety can be avoided by playing brain puzzles? They can help alleviate it, but they won't eliminate it. Also can't believe there are more trees than stars.

I now want to try coconut water as plasma!
