A Brooklyn-based film director is simultaneously mocking and attempting to profit off the cryptocurrency craze for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) by selling a year’s worth of fart audio clips recorded in quarantine.
“If people are selling digital art and GIFs, why not sell farts?” Alex Ramírez-Mallis, 36, told The Post of his dank addition to the blockchain-based NFT market.
His NFT, “One Calendar Year of Recorded Farts,” began incubating in March 2020 when, at the beginning of the global coronavirus lockdown, Ramírez-Mallis and four of his friends began sharing recordings of their farts to a group chat on WhatsApp.
On the one-year anniversary of the US’s COVID-19 quarantine this month — by which point Ramírez-Mallis said he could darn near identify members of the group by their farts alone — Ramírez-Mallis and his fellow farters compiled the recordings into a 52-minute “Master Collection” audio file.
The top bid for the file is currently $183.
Individual fart recordings are also available for 0.05 Ethereum, or about $85 a pop. The gassy group has so far sold one, to an anonymous buyer.
“If the value increases, they could have an extremely valuable fart on their hands,” he said.
the past few days the everglades have been on fire (dry season and lightning strikes)
and everywhere i go i smell ganja
I smelled ganja last night through the window (or so I thought), then as is grew soooo much more pungent, I realized it was a skunk.... we get them in the courtyard sometimes. No matter how fast I shut the window, that smell lingered so long and I needed a Silkwood shower before bed.
The refrigerator defrosting thanks to PG&E and their ridiculous "weather events". OMG, it's 68Ë, with high humidity and the wind is almost blowing! Watch out for spontaneous forest fires! Fuckers. Guess I'll watch another episode of gunsmoke on my ipad. Glad I paid for extra memory. Festus! What a freak!
The furnace being fired up for the first time since springtime.
We usually hold out until late October but 3 out of 4 in this house brought home some nasty bug from school so I gave in and fired it up a couple of weeks ago. Ah, the smell of burning spiders!
I thought you heated your house with people and critters
It's enough, sometimes. And sometimes with the house shut up tight, it's necessary to fire up the furnace just to flare off some methane.
