TV Remote Changes the Channel When You Fart
I wonder does it work for the silent-but-deadlies?
It's a natural bodily function and sometimes it occurs at inoppertune times, like when you're watching television with your spouse/child/parents/friend/parole officer. The only thing worse than letting one rip and having to apologize is sitting next to someone else who lets one rip and doesn't apologize.
If you're living with a regular stealth-farter, you might want to consider this fart-operated TV remote that changes the channel every time someone farts.. It's the brainchild of Instructables user, Schmidtn, who has a dad who loves to channel surf and toot-toot. Schmidtn says he came up with the idea after reading about two other weird mods:
"So one day I was over at Hackaday and read about a guy who used his Arduino to turn a TV on and off with one of those brainwave reading headsets. Then later on that same day I was here at Instructables and a fellow had made an office chair that twitters every time he farted. So, I got to thinking and decided to mash those two hacks into one remote that changes the TV to a random channel every time he tutes!"
Now all we need is one that turns up the sound anytime someone asks, "Now, which one is he?" during movies.

i would buy that, simple reason it would aslways be changing channel, and the missus would be really pissed off, right in the middle of Eastenders
"The only thing worse than letting one rip and having to apologize is sitting next to someone else who lets one rip and doesn't apologize."
I think there are thousands of examples than things worse than sitting next to someone who farts and doesn't apologize. Really insensitive remark to all the victims of really bad situations out there, eartquakes and floods, bad leaders, economic crisis, the list goes on. It really isn't the only thing worse.
Jane check spooftimes ... there is an article there about the world's loudest discharge ...
Must be a helpdesk thing ...
hehehe...nice 1
And this years most wanted kit is
a farting channel swapper ...
uh hu ... it wont catch on if your with a girl
imagine farting in bed and channel hopping at the same time
what happends if you follow through !!!
I wouldn't kick Jane Mc. out of bed if she changed my tv channel (old saying with a different spin)
"see if you could squeeze another one out I don't want to watch another si-fi original movie."
Title Win.
^ subtitle win, but yeah I agree.
Back in the day before remotes
If Dad belched it meant get him another beer
If Dad Farted it meant Change the channel
Ahhh the good old days
Sounds like the hands-free cell phone device I have in my car. The voice recognition *never* works when you want it to, yet when you drive over a bump, it phones random people.
what is the point in this thing?
Lets be civil !!
As seen on TV, The Flapper!
I let one rip for this article!
Another user has complained your comments are not being interpreted in a positive light.
Please enjoy your 3 day holiday, and come back with a bit more sensible attitude.
While we all like a laugh, some people are a bit more senstitive than others.
I happen to like hippies ... lots of them post here ... I can tell !!!

hooray for overbearing totalitarian mods! Should we all goosestep and salute to log in now?
This article and its comments gave me a brain fart, if you'll excuse me now...
So I was checking prices at newwegg when all of a sudden I farted and ended up here
so, based on this, I could do a fart counter...THAT'S something I would truly be interested in... my poor couch/chair. lol
Be seriously funny in the UK and everytime time someone farted it switched over to a British Gas advert. pmsl XD
What a great invention. Everytime you let one rip, it diverts people's attention and the change in volume could disguise the sound as well. If only it could get rid of the smell as well.
mine are SILENT... but dangerous.... hehehe LOL
