Does it have to be a sweet smell or do all smells provide some benefit?

My bedroom usually smells of farts; my own farts, my girlfriend's farts and my dog's farts.

I wouldn't mind it so much if I knew it was helping me keep dementia at bay.




Whoa! Guess you don't want to light a match in there


First thing came to my mind me and my so should have the best memory after all the dutch ovens I force us into


Maybe crack open a window?


I live in Sweden, it's cold outside and heating is expensive because of rising electricity costs due to the war in Ukraine.

I accept the flatulence.


You may be interested in heat-recovery ventilation (recuperation). For example, you can buy this one from Ukraine: https://prana.ua/en/products/prana150ee/ (not affiliated with them, just bough one similar unit for my own house).


Cool! I never heard of this, so I had to look it up:

Heat recovery ventilation, also known as HRV or mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR), is a system that works by transferring heat from outgoing exhaust air to incoming fresh air. Here's a simple step-by-step process:

1. Stale air from the inside of a building is expelled through the system. 2. As the stale, warm air leaves, it passes over a heat exchanger. 3. Fresh, cool air from the outside is drawn into the system, passing over the same heat exchanger. 4. The heat from the outgoing air is transferred to the incoming air without the two air streams mixing. 5. The pre-warmed fresh air is then distributed throughout the building.

This process ensures a constant, controlled supply of fresh air, maintains indoor air quality, and conserves energy that would otherwise be lost in the ventilation process.


How much does a solution like this cost?


Four years ago I bought mine for about $200.


Clearly you should be using the excess methane for heat.


Stop eating bread and grains.

Enjoy


I don't upvote a lot, but this is well earned.


It has to be Fabreze or another PG product
