Suppose, due to an unavoidable celestial event (let's say a non-lethal storm of radiation from a passing asteroid), all fart emanations from human and animal life on Earth were no longer invisible, but came out of our bodies in bright, whispy clouds of vividly-colored gas.

Imagine how this could potentially cause untold changes in our entire civilization, altering all conceivable human interactions.

As it is today, people can nonchalantly fart in public, on busy city streets, under various normal daily situations, and go undetected. But if farts were visible, this would no longer be the case.

Today, how many people fart while turning corners or walking up stairs, thinking no one will notice? If their farts came out in misty shades of yellow or green or red, they'd have to develop an entirely new strategy for dealing with intestinal gas. No one could hide.

Perhaps, after a period of adjustment, human civilization might come to rank human beings by the color of their farts.

What do you think would happen if farts were suddenly visible?
