I'm #celebrating my #1000th #toot with a #gif of a #cat #fart, as seen through an #infrared camera. I'm feeling classy like that.

Enjoy πŸˆπŸ’¨πŸŽ‰

(it's probably all downhill from here, but feel free to #follow for more highbrow content)

@alice I'm convinced that all infrared farts are fake because I've never been able to see breath or air currents with my camera. If I boil some water I can just barely see some steam coming out of it. There has to be a vapor component for it to be seen.
@spacegeck @alice they absolutely are and this one is no different. There's just not enough density to a fart for it to register above the ambient to a thermal camera. Especially in this case where the temperature of the fart is apparently so much higher than everything else. At best what you might capture is a hot spot on a surface being warmed up by the fart, such as on the pants.
