In one of the internet’s most bizarre turns, the “farting business” the practice of selling flatulence has emerged as a strange but surprisingly profitable venture. What started as a novelty has now become a talking point across social media platforms and online marketplaces.
What Is the ‘Farting Business’?
This unconventional business involves individuals, especially online influencers, capturing their own farts in sealed jars and selling them as collectibles. Others have embraced digitalization by selling fart-themed NFTs (non-fungible tokens). The entire concept, fueled by humor and curiosity, is designed for novelty and entertainment rather than utility.
Monetization and Market Value
At the forefront of this odd industry is reality TV personality Stephanie Matto. She made headlines after reportedly earning thousands of dollars by selling her farts in jars, with some fetching prices up to $1,000. According to Moneycontrol, her story brought widespread attention to the practice and inspired a wave of imitators.
Why Is It Trending?
The fart-selling trend gained traction due to its sheer shock value, creating viral moments on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The concept is deeply embedded in meme culture, attracting those looking to push boundaries for entertainment.
Adding to the absurdity, some sellers have turned to NFTs creating digital tokens that represent their flatulence merging physical humor with digital innovation. This fusion of body humor and blockchain has turned a bizarre joke into a money-making scheme.
The Internet’s Role
Social media continues to amplify this trend. Many users, fascinated or amused by the absurdity, share their reactions and even attempt to replicate the idea, leading to a viral spiral of content and curiosity.
Whether considered comedic genius or digital absurdity, the farting business highlights just how far internet culture and novelty commerce can go in today’s social media-driven world.
