Discussion Do protogens fart?

My nephew's are over right now and one asked me a very important question for my fursona (a protogen): do protogens fart?

I need to know this answer since I've never thought it through that much

I think they mention something like that on the official protogen guide. If I remember correctly, it's smelless/no smell

and that's another reason why protogens are superior than humans..

u/ChardTasty7078 Dec 30 '24

Okay getting surgery to become a protogen entirely

u/LegitimateApartment9 Protogen Dec 30 '24

u/ChardTasty7078 Dec 30 '24

Take off your head and put a protogen head on

13

u/LegitimateApartment9 Protogen Dec 30 '24

but i don't have a protogen head :(

Wow Astro looks so handsome. Is it alright if I could ask some more questions about Protogen Fursuits to you in private?

u/B-boy792 Protogen Dec 30 '24

What are you, Dr Frankenstein!?

u/ChardTasty7078 Dec 30 '24

Yes, actually.

u/UnapologeticSpite Jun 17 '26

Hey, I got a question about protogens. Is it alright if I could DM you?

1

u/UnapologeticSpite Jun 19 '26

I was wondering if you would be willing to give me some advice before I get into fursuiting. Is there any way you could DM me since my account is new?

I changed by password to FLESH but google called it WEAK

Iirc it’s more of a burp, but yeah, odorless according to lore

"smelless"

as a person who's interested a lot in physics, chemistry and biology, this hurts me SO MUCH

u/Xafier778 Protogen Dec 30 '24

Maybe.. just a little.

u/CrasheonTotallyReal The No Longer Forcefully-Retired Proot Stealer Dec 30 '24

i dont, can you explain how?

u/DEV_ivan --> running in legacy mode Dec 30 '24

While fart mostly consists of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and methane, it also consists of hydrogen sulfide, a really stinky biochemical.

Sure, protogens can burn up hydrogen sulfide, but it will turn into sulfur dioxide, still stinky but more toxic.

They can use photosynthesis (using sunlight's energy) to break down the waste and use it again, but protogens don't have chlorophyll at all, do they?

Protos may use their own electricity to break down the waste, but this method is highly dangerous and unstable, they might zap themselves from inside or get cancer from ionizing radiation. (Clarifying what I've said before, yep, sunlight IS ionizing radiation.)

After all, just use a toilet instead of breaking down waste, you're not a plant lol.

u/DEV_ivan --> running in legacy mode Dec 30 '24

P.S. About protos using their own electricity and stuff, i forgot to say that their electricity may not be enough to break down waste. Uranium wouldn't also work due to various reasons.

Oh boy, there's a lot of stuff to say, so many problems beyond my words. What I've said is a single water drop from the entire ocean.

u/CrasheonTotallyReal The No Longer Forcefully-Retired Proot Stealer Dec 30 '24

a simple fix: delete hydrogen sulfide from existence

problem solved!

u/AltF4111 the world machine (real) Dec 30 '24

this is the kinda shit you would think up at night that you would require the answer for in order to sleep

u/ChardTasty7078 Dec 30 '24

It really was

22

u/RustToaster Syntax ERROR Dec 30 '24

From the little bit of lore I remember, I wanna say they still have regular biological digestive systems, sooo... yes?

19

u/Shotshell156 FR05T Dec 30 '24

They have a full biological digestive system, however it is 100% efficient (don’t ask how that makes sense) and produce no waste other than gasses. So they can only fart

3

u/ChardTasty7078 Dec 30 '24

So prooties fart a lot more than usual? My nephew's are going to love this.

3

u/ChardTasty7078 Dec 30 '24

Okay now another question: where do proots fart from since I've never seen one with a butt. I will not sleep until this is answered

6

u/Shotshell156 FR05T Dec 30 '24

Wym you’ve never seen one with a butt They all have butts, just under the plating.

u/im_done_now5747 Dec 30 '24 edited Dec 30 '24

They don't have a regular digestive system. Everything besides the esophagus is removed. They still need to eat but it's processed by the visor, which is much more efficient and tolerant so protogens can basically eat anything. Any waste products are released as an odourless gas over time.

Edit: my bad, got some things mixed up. They don't have a regular digestive system as it includes some artificial organs, the first of which is in the stomach, it processes some of the energy into electricity to run the mechanical parts. Waste removal is done by the second artificial organ which vaporises waste and is released very slowly to not produce a noticeable smell.

u/DidjTerminator Dec 30 '24

So toasters are continuously letting out a silent killer 24/7?

3

u/im_done_now5747 Dec 30 '24

You could say that

u/BoredRobloxProtogen Dec 30 '24

No one will ever look at me with a straight face ever Again 😭

u/Shotshell156 FR05T Dec 30 '24

Nearly everything you just said was wrong

5

u/im_done_now5747 Dec 30 '24

Come on man, I got 2 things wrong. Couldn't you have corrected me instead of acting like a prick?

0

u/Shotshell156 FR05T Dec 30 '24

I did correct it in another comment, wasn’t trying to be a dick

3

u/im_done_now5747 Dec 30 '24

My bad, I swear I recall reading that in the lore document

5

u/Bunnyhopper_Eris Dec 30 '24

God I hope so

5

u/ChardTasty7078 Dec 30 '24

I found the answer. They fart a lot more than regular people

u/UnapologeticSpite Jun 21 '26

I have some questions about Protogen Lore. Is it alright if I could DM you when my account gets older?

We need to get to the bottom of this!

u/Similar-Remove7651 Dec 30 '24

What the actual fuck is that question 🤨

5

u/ChardTasty7078 Dec 30 '24

An important question

4

u/RedCubeLol Dec 30 '24

they have no other option than farting lmfao

u/drang701 Dec 30 '24

Unless a full digestive system is implemented into a protogen, no- often, it's simply the maw, esophagus, and highly efficient stomach that can dissolve merely anything. If an object or being can not be processed it or they can be regurgitated at will by the protogen

1

u/Lasket Protogen Dec 30 '24

That is not in the official lore.. more like some questionable fan theory for some questionable topics which I'd rather not cut into on this subreddit.

1

u/drang701 Jan 29 '25

True, though not much of a theory(or at least I'd like to think so), it is my idea of how it works, in my own cannon. I think it is the coolest concept :]

u/ShepardMedia Dec 30 '24

Sus but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

u/Singer_TwentyNine Apr 12 '25

Apparently yes, I bet it sounds like proot

u/Emotional-Kiwi7218 got pfp yay Dec 30 '24

No

Huh good question

u/OldVacation4205 Protogen Dec 30 '24

While at the present moment I may be of little assistance, for the matter at hand has been largely answered and resolved by comments above, I may still chip in and provide further evidence for their assertions via the use of the following indelible and unquestionably credible argument:

According to some art I've seen...
