Zipping back to the ineffable present, a man has sold hundreds of farts. Or, NFTs pegged to the description of audio files of farts.

Alex Ramírez-Mallis (who considers the NFT craze ludicrous) told the New York Post that he and his friends recorded farts and shared them daily from March 2020 to March 2021. Ramírez-Mallis has sold a full-year compilation for .24 Ethereum (in late March, roughly $430) as well as seven single farts for .05 Ethereum (then, $89). Head over to the Post if you’d like to know more about the man behind the farts. In this case, I prefer to separate the art from the artist.
