How can we preserve it?
How do you preserve a sunset, or a child’s laughter? How do you preserve the feeling of a first kiss, or the flavor of your mom’s hug? How do you preserve the memory of your lost love, or the fish that flew away? How do you preserve the anxious feeling of your first ritual death match in the ring of eternal fire, or a crisp autumn day?
I now see the folly of my inquiry.
Fart in a vacuum or maybe in nitrogen? Seems like oxygen is the enemy.
maybe if you fart into a cryogenic chamber right into a pot of liquid nitrogen. then you can heat it up again later and.. why am i here again?
You’re solving important problems, just like the rest of us.
You don't leave until the problem is solved.
Just store it in an office chair.
Based on my experience with GCMS, if you fart into some activated carbon, you might be able to store it for a long time. To release the smell you'd heat your "sample" up to about 250°C, which you could do in a hot oven or maybe stovetop burner
