Is a fart a fart before you fart it?
(lemmy.ml)
Like a volcano, when it's still inside you, it is magma.
No, then it's just referred to as "gas" or "feeling bloated"
Butt magma vs. butt lava.
Only if its wet ...
When used as a noun a fart refers to "an expulsion of intestinal gas^1^" or "An emission of wind from the anus; an instance of breaking wind^2^". So, I would say no it is not because it is defined as leaving the body. While in the body it is flatus which is gas in or from the stomach or intestines.
^2^ OED
Quality. Thank you for posting.
These are mysteries of life that need investigation.
Is a fart the gas itself, or the passing of the gas? The definition says it is the passing of the gas. Therefore, a fart isn't a fart until it's been farted. Before that, it's just gas in the ass.

It’s in a superposition of fart and shart until released at which point the wave form collapses into either a gaseous or liquid state.
Schrödinger’s fart until proven otherwise
As a professional Fartographer, I can confirm this is the correct answer. Sometimes you're feeling confident that you're hanging out with a fart, but then it comes out to you as poop.
Then you have to tell it, "look, I still appreciate you as something I created, but I can't support your choice of being poop." And then you tell it that it has until the weekend to get out of your pants.
Where do you set up the seismometer? 🤔
Near the crack
Bravo
You can't study it directly without bringing it out into the world and measuring it, but by doing so, it immediately collapses into a fart.

A fart is only a fart when it exits your body. Before that, it's gas. Exiting transforms it to a fart.
And how is a fart different than gas?
A fart is an ephemeral, gaseous configuration of molecules as they pass through a specific orifice in a specific direction. In short, a fart is not the gas itself.
It's the idea
And you can't kill an idea

It's a quantum superposition of being both a fart and a number 2. You never know until you observe the results.
No, its magma
Contemplating this, they achieved enlightenment.
That's like asking if the universe existed before the big bang.
There is a time, a very early time, when it has not found it's way yet. Then it can become either a fart or a belch.

I don't want to stray from OP's question, but as it's already been answered: have you guys read the following paper on pre-fart gas re-entering the blood stream through the colon's wall?

This is a very important topic
Here's a link directly to the video transcript from what if: https://whatifshow.com/what-if-you-held-in-all-your-farts/
I think yes. At the very least, it is a fart bubble.
It could end up being a shart.
The art of fart
Nope, could be a turd.
At that stage, it’s still a farteus.
Depends on whether you’re in a state where you can abort it. Some farts are farts from the moment of conception while others only when they are independent and actualized
As a pro-farter, I think if you hold in your farts, you're basically committing murder and should get life in prison
I think that a fart is specifically gas passing out of your intestines. Until it does that, it's just gas.
No.
If farting is the act of pushing gas out your ass, a fart is the act of the escaping wind. So gas has to leave to be a fart.
Kinda like how Magma becomes lava once it leaves the crust of the earth.
Everytime someone kills a fart before it comes out, an angel dies.
